Makeup Traveling With...

 Hey Y'all!

I filmed a clip about the makeup I planned to take just before Christmas, and that's what gave me the idea for this blog. In the video you'll hear me mention taking a specific product for Christmas day, and that's why.

All my makeup fit's in this vintage travel case:

I do have my eyeshadow brushes in the Elmo case from the Sesame Street x Wet 'n Wild collection, and it too will fit in the case.

Video:

After the video I realized I cold fit even more, because of the lid style being lifted. In total I think I have about 16 lip products, and 30ish palettes, a tinted moisturizer, primer, setting spray, and powder...

Pics:

I took these pics in the bathroom closet today, so they aren't the best pictures, but you can see all the items I'm taking!

Face brushes!

Palettes:

This one came out blurry, oops!

I.B.Y. Lorac and TooFaced.

Everything fits with ease. The only negative is that most everything has to come out to get to all the things I need (want) daily. That's not a big deal for me, it just means I'll probably get more use out of everything since it'll all always be accessible. I plan to switch things out on a quarterly basis, with the next swap being in April.

Anything I should add? Take out? Let me know in the comments below!

Have a great day,

Clean & Declutter: Makeup Brushes

 Hey Y'all!

The makeup brush cleaning is looooooong overdue.

I've used them all far too many times/too long before cleaning. I really need to get rid of a few as well. My goal is 5! Let's see how I do:

Such a mess!

As y'all know we're still getting everything in the house packed up and ready to go, so everything left in the bathroom is currently on the counter.

Prepping the sink:

This brush cleanser from Ulta is almost empty...

any suggestions on a new one?

It didn't take long, I don't know why I had put it off until all my eyeshadow brushes were so dirty.

Now I wait for them to dry. I know there are drying racks, but is there any other drying options beyond waiting to air dry? Let me know!

So, declutters? 

I doubled my goal, and was able to let go of 10. Most of these face brushes I never reach for, so that was easy. The dual sided eyeshadow brushes are not my favorite, and the Anastasia one is horribly scratchy. I could probably declutter more eye brushes, but I do use them all.

How many eyeshadow brushes do you have? Let me know in the comments below!

Have a great day,
