Blue EOTD, New Organization, New Blog Colors!!!

Hey everyone!!! You may have noticed that I haven't blogged in a little while. I was busy with Brandon (my boyfriend) the last few days.

I have made a few lovely changes to my blog and my makeup storage!!!

I went out with my sweetie and he bought me some storage drawers because he knows I have a bit of an addiction when it comes to my makeup. :) I tweeted about wanting to get some organization stuff. He is the best.

I also had all of my makeup laid out the night before (to see what I had to tackle to organize!) and so I seen some shadows I haven't used in a while (or at all). So the other day I did my eyes really pretty. :) This is the same day that we bought the organizers from Target! Here are some pics!

This I had before but I wanted to show you:

It is a kitchen spice cabinet. My dad moved the shelves and added new ones. He used the actual polish bottles to determine the spacing of the shelves. They are at various heights for different brands :)

I hope you liked this post and maybe got some ideas.

Have a great day! :)

That's a great Dad who fixes the spice cabinet for your use. I wish my Dad was still alive. He would've definitely made me some beautiful cabinet or shelves for all of my collection. That's a terrific idea to use the spice cabinet. I'm afraid I'd need many more of those. Nice set up for your makeup. Do people really say that your bragging? How crazy it is to say that. We all want to see people's collections of makeup and nail polish. Also how they keep everything organized. Some people are just too sensitive.

Thanks for you comment! My dad is really awesome sometimes :) I am sorry about your dad :( Maybe a bf or husband or a handy friend (male or female!) could help you make a nail polish storage system of some sort. I would love to see your polish collection! :) I just posted the "I am not bragging" as a disclaimer since I see people post it on youtube all the time. Thanks for all your compliments! I may need more polish storage if I keep it up. I have a Zoya haul coming soon!!! (Now that might have sounded a bit braggy :-P )
