Method 2 My Madness

We bought our tickets for our summer vacation to San Francisco last night. Soooooo excited!! This will be my entire family's 1st time going to San Francisco. Can't wait to check out Japantown & Chinatown. If any of you beauties out there have any suggestions on places we need to definitely stop at I would greatly appreciate any suggestions.

My allergies are whoopin' my a$$ today!! Bought Zyrtec yesterday, but still haven't taken any. I don't like taking medication unless I'm absolutely miserable. I'm pretty close to that point. I can't keep on having my boogers flowing out my nose like a broken faucet. Sorry TMI!! I'm just scared that Zyrtec will make me sleepy since it doesn't say on the container "non-drowsy." Clariten does NOT work for me anymore and I refuse to take Benadryl before going to sleep. I have this irrational fear that if I take any medicine that could possibly make me sleepy I may not wake up. My sister keeps reassuring me I'll be fine, but......eh I'll prolly take Zyrtec later.

Anyhow...on to what my point of doing this post is. I thought I'd share my beauty collection and how I've decided to organize it. My before pic of my makeup area is EMBARASSING to say the least. Not saying my makeup area now is the shizz or anything, but its much more CLEANER, organized, and functional. So here we go....

Yah this right here is a HOT mess!!

^^New & Improved pix of my makeup storage/organization above^^

These are a few of my palettes I've collected over time. Ranging from Tarte, SMH cosmetics, Kat Von D, UD, Too Faced, Sephora, Lorac, & INGLOT <3<3

Coastal Scents palettes

E.L.F. & some Jemma K, all bought from Target

NYX

WnW

My modest MAC collection :)

Randoms ranging from drug store, VS, Estee Lauder, Hard Candy, & Sephora

The white cubby storage with shelves and multiple storage containers I'm LOVING!! Bought it from Target on sale. Each cube used to be $6.99/ea, the day I bought them it was reduced to $4.99 each. Its called ITSO storage and can be purchased at Target or Amazon. The book shelf is from Walmart for only $15 and very easy to put together. I did it all by my lonesome :)

I didn't include my everyday face products in my makeup collection pix. Nor did I include my brush collection, cuz they're dirty right now :(

Just a little FYI my face product colors are:

[[MAC]] Studio Sculpt Concealer NC42

               Studio Sculpt Foundation SPF 15 NC42

               Studio Fix Powder C40

               MSF Medium Dark



Right now my go-to face routine is composed of Sephora:

               Perfecting Cover Foundation (oil free) 35 mat tan/bronze

               Perfecting Tinted Moisturizer SPF 20 (oil free) 35 Tan/bronze--used on low fuss days

               Mattifying Foundation powder D32

I actually like my Sephora routine because it gives me the same or better coverage than my MAC routine and I don't feel a heavy amt of product on my face. I've already bought a backup of the Sephora mattifying powder.

I enjoy looking at other's makeup storage/organization ideas so hopefully ya'll feel that way about mine. I know its not big or out of this world spectacular, but its more functional for me compared to what I did have. I'm honestly not expecting to add much more to my makeup collection. I feel like I have more than enough already. But......of course get tempted all the time to try new products. Which of course turns into buying new products. **sigh** the life of a makeup addict/hoarder!!
