My Makeup Collection & Storage

This is basically just an over-view of how I store my makeup and what kinds of makeup I have.

Like I said in the video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lC2LZqNi28w) I haven't been collecting for very long, about 6 or 7 months, so my collection is still growing.

The storage containers I'm using I purchased at Superstore (the smaller one for $6) and WalMart (the bigger one for $11)

These are great for storing makeup, especially since you can see through the drawers and you know exactly what is inside them.  Another great storage tip is to use dividers or those little blue baskets.  These are good for separating things inside the drawers.
You can find these baskets at the dollar store, they usually come in a package of like 3 for a dollar or something. Also you can find them at WalMart, Superstore, etc.

For my brushes, I just have the standard Sephora brush holder.  I purchased 2 vase like containers and some clear plastic beads to fill them with.  It was pretty inexpensive, however the beads were a little bit costly.  But this method is quite effective :)

Getting Ready For Work - Hair & Makeup

Hey everyone! So I was looking through the huge list of video ideas I got when I did the MAC pigment giveaway.  Hair and makeup for work was one of then and since I was going to have to get ready for work anyway I thought I would just film myself doing my hair and makeup.  It started out really well, but half way through my camera died so I had to finish the video after work. . but it turned out okay anyway :)

So this video is showing you my daily routine for work.  I have a summer job in customer service, so our appearance is crucial.

So here's a list of products I used :

Hair: All can be found at your local drugstore
Nexxus Salon Haircare leave in conditioning spray
Garnier Fructis Sleek & Shine anti-frizz serum ( I don't use this for the anti-frizz, I use it mostly for the smooth-ness that it give my hair.)
Got2b Dazzling finishing Shine spray

Face:
Revlon Colorstay liquid foundation - my shade is Toast
Benefit Boi-ing concealer - my shade is 03
The Balm Bahama Mama bronzer for face powder
Cover Girl Blush- Golden Pink

Eyes:
UDPP - Sin
Urban Decay e/s - Freelove all over the lid
UD e/s - Roach in the outer V and crease
MAC e/s - Ricepaper as a highlight
Revlon Colorstay liquid liner - thin line across the upper lashline
Revlon Grow Luscious mascara for upper and lower lashes

Lips:
Rimmel lipstick - Coral Chic
Maybelline Shinesational lipgloss - Cherry Bloom

So this is my makeup routine for work.  It's very simple and neutral but cute and classy at the same time.  I'm not suppose to wear a whole lot of dramatic makeup at work so this is subtle enough for me :)

Quickly, just a few things about myself.  I am a 21 yr old makeup enthusiast.  It is my hobby, I am in no way a professional and I don't claim to be.  I love makeup simply because you can do anything!  It lets you be creative and imaginative, as well as enhance your natural beauty!

I am based in Vancouver, Canada! !  And we finally just got a Sephora store in downtown Vancouver last year (2009) so that was really exciting for me! 

I don't really commit to one single brand of makeup.  I like to branch out and try new things.  I like high-end as well as drug store, so my channel won't be limited to either.

I'm basically just here to have fun, live, laugh and learn! As well as trade tips and secrets, help others and have a great time!

So thanks again for reading my blog!

I hope you enjoy and have fun!
