How Do You Store Your Beauty Stuff??

Wow i was going through stuff and i'm beginning to realize all the beauty stuff i have been accumulating lately lol I have ran out of room for it all.  I believe I am a beauty hoarder. lol My hubby is taking me to get one of those drawer storage thingies. I already have 2 and a small one lol Well... I need another one haha I think it will be better though that way i can have my make up, lotion, and hair stuff organized better. My hubby works for Con-air so i get hair stuff dirt cheap. I mean you can't beat getting a hairbrush for 25 cents!! So whenever a friend needs some stuff.. louie goes gets it, and gets a little extra that i can choose from haha I love getting a whole thing of bobby pins or pony tail holders for 25 cents each as well!! <3 I recently paid for a bath and body works groupon lol I really didnt need too.. I have a cart right now with stuff so i can use it :p I just dont have anywhere to put it when i get it. Anybody else have this problem?? lol How Do you store your stuff?? :)

Beauty From The Earth EOTD - Sunset

I was wanting rainbow eyes yesterday since it was friday and I was going out later. I picked out colors that made me think of a Sunset lol.

*UDPP

*NYX Milk Jumbo Pencil on Lid

*Beauty From The Earth Lemon Shadow in the inner corner.

*BFTE Tangerine Shadow in the middle.

*BFTE Raspberry Shadow in the outer corner.

*BFTE Green Apple Shadow in the inner lowercorner.

*BFTE Blueberry Shadow along the lower lashline.

*NYX Jumble Pencil in the inner corner.

*Elf Waterproof Liner Pen in Black along the upper lash line

*Loreal Voluminous Carbon Black Mascara

After 10 hours of wear:

Zoya Robyn

This is the opposite of Pippa. In pictures its a little lighter then what it is. I saw pictures on some other blogs which made me want this color. When it came, it was darker then what i expected. I like it though. A nice robyn's egg blue color :D

Heres 1 Coat:

Someone said on a blog this can be worn with 1 coat.. But when i put it on, yes its opaque but streaky.. :/

Not even 2 coats:

A little better, but still not enough coverage..

Heres 3 Coats:

No Flash:

Few More Pics:

Zoya Pippa

I've been wanting a yellow, but can never find one i like. I gotten a few and returned them, mainly though because they were yellowing my nails. So when i was searching the zoya colors I came across it and thought it might be a nice yellow for me. Well I got it today but idk if i like it.. I dont think it goes good with my skintone since i have pink undertones... I might give it away to my friend.. not for sure yet :p Might use it at Easter time.

The color is actually a little lighter then it shows in pictures. Pictures seems to darken it??

Heres 1 Coat:

I don't know what it is about yellow polishes, but they like to go on streaky?? It's always happened to me no matter the formula/brand. This is more of a creamy finish.

3 Coats Here:

Once you put a couple more coats on it looks better. I found if i globbed it on more, the better it looked. Its def an opaque color.

Few More Pics:

Zoya Gilda

One word for the color of this polish.. AMAZING!! lol Its a nice fuschia pink with glitter. I didnt want to take the color off, but i needed to swatch the other 2. I wish i had saved it for last :D

1 stroke of the brush on my nail and i was in love lol I like the brush of this polish and makes the application so easy and not messy at all.

Heres 1 Coat:

A lot of color for one coat. If you want the color a little sheerer 1 coat will do but i prefer for it to be brighter and look like the bottle lol

Applied 3 Coats Here:

Heres a few more pics:

One coat dries pretty good, i dont know how long it would take for the 3 coats since i wiped it off after applying and taking pictures. It was still tacky when i was wiping it off. I tried applying seche vite to one nail, and it wasn't drying it.... I've heard though that since SV isn't Big 3 free, it doesn't work. Reviews said though that Sally Hansen Insta Dry Top Coat works pretty well with Zoya Polishes.

Zoya - It's Here!!!

Zoya was having a promotion. Get 3 free polishes and only pay for shipping. I guess though people had all kinds of problems. When I went to order I never got a e-mail confirmation.  So I tried ordering another 3 polishes, thinking that was what the problem was. Turned out they were just behind on sending them out. Though the 2nd order i got one right away.  My package today was the 2nd order. I was really hoping for the first 1 but this will do. I never tried their polishes before, so when i saw the promo I jumped right on it since i've only heard good things about the polishes.

I got Gilda, Pippa, and Robyn. Zoya np is vegan, so it is free of the Big 3.

Coastal Scents - Under the Sea FOTD

I've been wanting my zoya polishes to come in so i can get my hands on my charla polish, but for now i did a look with mermaid type colors from my 88 shimmer palette.

*UDPP

*NYX Milk Jumbo Eye Pencil

*Coastal Scents 88 Shimmer Palette

*Elf Waterproof Eye Liner Pen in Midnight

*Physicians Formula Cream Liner in Blue

*Loreal Voluminous Carbon Black Mascara

I'm guessing these are right.. the packaging sucks and my colors have came up and are now in different spots then they were originally.. They need to glue them better or something :/

*Maybelline Fit Foundation in 115

*Maybelline Fit Concealer in 110

*Physicians Formula Bamboo Powder

*Elf Blush

*Sally Hansen Diamonds 12 Hr Lip Treatment

Me + Blue Nicole by Opi

I almost didn't buy this because my hubby was giving me crap about spending $7. I'm so glad i didn't listen!! This color is so pretty and sparkly. Its a bright blue with rainbow sparklies. My one complaint though about this polish is the new supposedly perfect stroke brush. I wish someone could show me how to give a perfect stroke?? The brush makes it pick up too much product. Make sure you have a qtip and polish remover on hand because you are going to need it for cleaning up the sides of your nails.

This dries super quick too!!

I think this will probably be my favorite polish of 2011 if not in my top 3 :D i dont even like justin bieber lol i thought the polish was pretty, only reason i got it. :)

Maybelline EyeStudio Baked Eye Shadow - Ivy Illusion

I was at Fry's Marketplace and saw some make up on clearance. I happened to find this for $3, and i bought it since i had been wanting to try one of these shadows for awhile just didnt want to pay the $7. I find the shadow to be very pigmented and goes on smoothly.

*I applied UDPP

*Then NYX Milk Pencil on lid.

*Then i patted on the gold shade in the lid.

*Then i put the green shade in half the crease and rounded it out.

*Took my ELF Eye Precision Brush and applied green shadow to the lower lashline.

*Then i applied ELF WP Eye Liner Pen in Black to my upper lashline.

*Went over it with UD Zero Liner.

*Applied Clinique Lash Doubling Mascara.

I found this shadow wore very well. It looked the same as when i applied it when i took it off later that night at around 11:30 pm.
