My Recycled Makeup Organizer

Acrylic Organizers were so in these days for every makeup addict that loves organizing their makeups and at the same time enjoys seeing each items that they got since acrylics were transparent. I do have a few that can hold lippies and other eye shadows and powders but I had to take extra care for them since they crack easily. Some of my everyday and most used makeups don't even fit in.

A few weeks ago I received 1 kg box full of chocolates from my best friend Kitty from Singapore. That wonderful box contains all my fave sweets in the world. Name it. Twix, Kitkat, two jars of Nutella and Ferrero Rocher, and more sweets. I'm afraid my blood sugar levels will suddenly rise as I approach second trimester. I honestly never liked sweet food, but my pregnant brain keeps controlling my taste buds.

I didn't know my son will love Ferrero Rocher and he finished eating almost 25 pieces of it in just two days. Since Ferrero's packaging is of high quality, it's such a waste to just throw it away. Somehow it reminds me of my makeup organizers and suddenly had a brilliant idea of keeping it as my very own acrylic makeup box.

I used it to organize my most used and everyday makeups, since I have to separate those I use personally from those I use for makeup service. I don't have time to remove the logo so I replaced it with my Beauty Bound Asia sticker.

What's Inside it? Mostly MAC makeups of course, since I really swear by it. The shades were mostly neutrals since we're talking about my everyday/go to holy grail products. My Fix sprays and foundie bottles don't fit in, but I have a separate container for them. My other lippies were stored in my other acrylic containers for lippies and powders. You can also use it to store makeup brushes, palettes and jewelries.

Products Inside: Clarins Instant light lipbalm perfector, Becca Shimmering Pressed Powder in Chmapagne Pop, Mac Studio Fix Powder in NC25, Mac concealers, Mac blushes in Fleur Power and Harmony, Mac Browset in Red Chestnut, Mac browliners in Lingering and Brunette, Mac Lip liners in Spice, Naked and Boldly Bare, Mac pro Twisted Mascara, Mac Eyeliners in Smoulder and Stubborn Brown, Mac eyeshadows in Espresso, Texture and Tempting, and my favorite Mac lippies in Lady Be Good, Runway Hit, Kinda Sexy and Velvet Teddy.

Now my makeup's easier to access and just looking at it is a total eye candy. I rarely go out these days so they're also rarely used. I actually want to add up more retro matte liquid lippies since I fell instantly in love with Lady Be Good.

Time to recycle ladies and I'm sure you'll love to do the same. I might get more Ferrero Rocher since I hit two birds with one stone with it. :)

Halted Gigs And The Main Reason

Hello! How you doin' ladies? So upon checking my last blog post it was dated February, and now is a long over due post. Aside from the fact that I'm too lazy these days, the real reason that has been pulling me back (yup including my brain and my fingers) from writing a new article is my current sensitive condition. I'm currently 16 weeks preggo! Yes another baby on the way and we're really excited, however the preggo problems started to make me more dysfunctional, as I was diagnosed last month and admitted for experiencing such terrible condition for soon to be mommies: the frightening Hyperemesis Gravidarum, which simply means severe nausea and vomiting with food aversion resulting to dehydration. I'm a bit fine now, headaches were still an everyday occurrence that I have to endure, though nausea has miraculously diminished. It was hard, I was so ill for three months that my makeup gigs and guesting were halted for a moment. I haven't been out for almost three months.

It's hard, as much as I want to go out or just blog my heart away or put some makeup on, I'm too lazy that I'd rather stay at home, roll up in bed with my first born Draven and pig out all day. It saddened me that I had to cancel my March to May makeup gigs. I was booked for graduation makeup, weddings and more, but I had to say no coz I know for sure I really couldn't make it. I also had wedding inquiries this June to July and I have to refer them to my fellow MUAs instead.

Don't worry as soon as the baby's out by late October or early November, I'll be back with guestings and gigs, jampacked with my new MAC makeups and new tools. I even got better plans by next year so this year's the only time to rest. 

As soon as I feel better I might start blogging and do MOTDS for myself or for other people.

I'll hone up my skills while I'm idle.

Thanks for reading lovelies! I'll take a rest now!

xoxo
