Makeup Monday: Makeup Inventory 2015

-

I am so excited for the new year every year because it just feels like the right time to organize! I recently came across the idea of doing a an annual makeup inventory and I wanted to share it with you.

Why would you take inventory of your makeup? Because besides items that you use everyday like foundation, you could have expired makeup wasting space in your makeup storage system. This is also a great way to decide which products that you would like to repurchase and which ones (brands, colors, etc) that just don't work for you.

After taking inventory and sorting out your makeup, you can always swap products that you don't care for with close friends (keep it sanitary). While a bright lipstick may not look good on you, it may be the perfect shade for your bestie!

* Shadows are total number of individual colors in one pallet

After doing my inventory I realized that I should stop buying eye shadow for a while and use up what I have. Out of my makeup products, I only had two items that needed to be tossed. I also found some products that I need to use before they expire, so new mission for January!

**Thank you for reading. Will you be doing a makeup inventory for 2015? And, do you have as much eye shadow as me? I feel like buying pallets with 6-8 colors inside guarantees that you will have a ton of eye shadows that you probably don't even want!**

    I probably should do an inventory because I have a makeup case full of stuff but don't use some stuff at all!

      I definitely will keep doing this for the years to come. I took photos of what I had too so that I could throw away anything that I still have next year. If I don't use it, I am purging it.

What you will need: Candle Jars (Square or Round) Candle Stick Holders Ribbon (optional) All materials for this project can be found at Dollar Tree in the candle isle. They are regularly found items so this project can easily be duplicated. Directions: 1. Remove all price stickers. These are glass and we are gluing them so you are going to want a clean surface.  2. Put hot glue around the rim of the candlestick holder.It will begin to dry pretty quickly so work fast, don't worry if the glue starts to drip. 3. Place square jar on the top of the candlestick holder while the glue is still hot. It will bond pretty quickly so make sure its straight! You also don't want it to look messy. Finished Product Lip Gloss Holder   4. Repeat. For a more unique look, try putting the candle jar on a slant when gluing. This will only work with the round type jars. You will get something that looks like this: 5. Add a

Trial Tuesday: Removing Printed Labels From Plastic

So if you have been following my blog. you know that I have really been getting more organized in 2015. One way that I continue to add new items to my home is to recycle the products that I use. Recently, I came across this Pin that I wanted to try out for baking ingredient storage: find this tutorial on www.hometalk.com Now while this idea is very clever I wasn't sure if I would use paint to redo the cans that I have. This got me thinking about another Pin that I saw on Pinterest about removing printed labels with nail polish remover. Found on www.2busybrunettes.com After I saw this Pin, I checked it out on YouTube and with thin plastic, it does work. With this in mind I wondered if I could remove the label from the Folgers Container. Which brings us to this weeks trial. TRIAL What You Will Need: Before: Directions: Fold a piece of paper towel and soak it in nail polish remover.  Place nail polish soaked paper towel on the label for 5 minutes.

Trial Tuesday: Removing Scratches From Wood

If you haven't figured it out by now, furniture is not made like it used to be. For this reason, when looking for wooden pieces I usually opt for the old, heavy wooden pieces over the plywood of today. So, when I look for furniture, it's typically at a thrift store or rummage sale. I take such pride in finding pieces and repurposing them. You can take something old and make it like new with a little effort. While repainting furniture can be fun, it is even better when you find a piece that just needs a good cleaning. So when I came across the Pin below, I was very curious to see if this technique worked. TRIAL What You Will Need 1/2 Cup Olive Oil 1/2 Cup Vinegar Wash Cloth Before Directions Mix vinegar and oil. Use a wash cloth to apply the mixture to your scratch. Repeat steps if necessary. After Results: FAIL Note that literally nothing happens. Now, while this scratch is pretty deep, isn't that the point? I did try thi
