You know that you’re a make-up addict when you realize
that your stash is getting bigger & bigger and there are no more places for
storage.
That’s what has been happening to me lately. No more
place, everything all over the place and also I can’t find something’s when
needed. This brings me back to using the same old, same old.
So I needed desperately to re-arrange my stash and
organize things over here. I began to think how I’m going to do that and that’s
when I went out and bought myself those make-up organizers that I showed you in
my June shoplog.
I also showed you gals in that same shoplog about this
pillbox I bought which I’m going to turn into a palette. And I promised to tell
you more about it soon.
Well, soon is here and today I’m going to share a
great beauty tip with you all.
A plain pillbox. Some of you might know already what kind of
palette I’m going to make and some of you would be asking what I’m going to use
it for. Well I’m going to make a pigment palette out of this pillbox.
I have lots of different pigments, cute &
beautiful pigments that always ends up in the back of my drawers and that I
never use. Just because I always forget about them. And most of the time the
packaging is also irritating to use. So I thought if we could use a Z-palette
and create or own palette, why can we create our own pigment palette?!
That’s when I went searching – again – for the perfect
solution.
I got my pillbox at Xenos for €1,99.
There are different pillboxes being sold. Be sure that you get a good & sturdy one. A pillbox that closes good, that will not make a mess if it's drop or whatever. As you can see the one I got has a doble lit and closes good.
I have a lot of pigments, some MAC samples and others
from different brands. And I just bought some NYX pearl mania pigments which come
in the most irritating little bottles. I depotted all of them in my pillbox.
-Warning-
This can be very messy. When you’re depotting
your pigments, be sure to be doing this on a towel and not just on a plain
surface.
And about those NYX pearl mania pigments, I know they
may seem like they’re not holding much product. Well believe me when I say:
don’t let the packaging fool you. They hold quite a lot product. The slot was
almost full and the little bottle was still by the half full.
What do you think of this tip? Did you already know
about it? Or do you have a better idea? Share, share, share. Let me know down
