The madness of makeup

As suggested by a friend on Facebook, here is my makeup stash.

Now to preface the madness, I want to say that my bathroom is usually a mess. There is a fine layer of powder across almost the entire bathroom counter. Because I use powder foundation, when I apply it, it just goes everywhere. This necessitates me having to wipe everything down every couple of days.

So, this is my bathroom BEFORE I went through my stuff.

This is the hubby's side of the counter. All he keeps out are his bottles of cologne, deodorant, and hair gel. *I* think I should get 97% of the counter, but he disagrees. Whatever. :side eye:

Anyhow, notice that my shit is just kinda laying all over.





This is the sink that shows the layer of powder that gets all over everything. Hate it!!



This is my half (ok, actually more than half, since I laid claim to the longer section of counter), where my pink toolboxes are.



This is the larger middle drawer, and what I have crammed into it. Backups, shit I don't use very often but refuse to throw away, and all my makeup palettes.





So, I slowly started to go through everything, starting with that catch-all drawer. I decided that anything I haven't used in the last 6 months was getting tossed, with few exceptions. This is what the counter looked like with that drawer unloaded. Woah.





This is what my drawer looks like now. Yes, it's still crowded, but at least it's in some semblance of order, and I can find things easier.













These are my back-ups of the Mineralized Skin Finishes from the Blonde, Brunette, Redhead collection.



And these are my toolboxes now, arranged more efficiently. They were purchased from www.theoriginalpinkbox.com. I WILL have that 5-drawer tool chest one day soon!!!













Oh, and here are my MAC Hello Kitty lipsticks that my daughters got into and ruined. The only one I bought a backup for, is the only one they didn't touch. Punks. Looks like I'll actually be locking the toolboxes from now on.





I know I have a lot of makeup, but please keep in mind that I don't pay full price unless I have to. I have an outlet mall about 30 minutes away where I can get MAC, Clinique, Bobby Brown, etc., for 30% off.

I also love shopping at www.eyeslipsface.com, and the last order I made with them, I used their coupon code and got the mineral line for 75% off. That means I paid $1.25 per item. Also, www.beautycrunch.com has a steep discount. And I'm also a member on www.ruelala.com, www.hautelook.com, and other similar websites.

I hope you enjoyed, and happy shopping!
