Diary of an MUA: Candy Paint

Now that I see them maybe I will use them...

Paint pots, fluid lines, color tattoos

So far it's been working!

It's a bead holder I got from Michaels years ago.  I used the stackable containers for my Ben Nye pigments and glitter 

Yearly Makeup Purge-2012 edition

Each year I go through all of my makeup and hair stuff, both personal and those items for my kit and I purge. Anything I don't use gets snatched up by my mom first, friends and family second and I also give it to other artists who may be building their kits.

This year I got rid of a decent amount of stuff but I realize I didn't over purchase this year also which is good.     The pics below show what is left.

various things including lip products, foundations, eyeshadow, blush, etc so on and so forth

palettes

pigments and glitters (which I usually dont give away fully, but I do sample them out)

I have since organized my pigment and glitter drawers by shade/tone.  This is just my personal collection.  I also purge the professional kit and then re-up on what I need.  Like I am going with new foundations this year so I will be getting rid of my palettes from last year soon.

Do you use the dawn of a new year to get your makeup collection in order?

30 Day YouTube Challenge - Day 10 - My Jewelry Box

Not so much a box as it is my attempt at being both creative and functional with storage options, moreso out of necessity.  Hopefully this will help someone with their own storage dilemmas.
