Organizing your makeup for less then $15
Hello beauties.
A lot of us beauty bloggers and non beauty bloggers have tons of makeup and find it very hard to keep them organized. Well I found a cheap way to keep all your makeup in one place for less then $15. In the first image I have my makeup stored in a mesh stationary holder that I bought from the $1 tree. It holds a lot of my small makeup like my Nars and MAC blushes, concealers, MAC paint pots, MAC fluid lines, Eco lip balm etc. It keeps everything in arms reach for easy acess in the morning. The second image is a lipstick holder. I ordered this on eBay. The price on this was only $5 which was a steal. It holds 12 tubes of lipstick of all lipsticks brands. I use it mostly for my MAC lipsticks. The last image is a makeup holder that I bought on eBay also and that was also $5. I had to bid on this one, It started at 1 penny and I won it for $5. I use it to hold all my MAC pigments and glitters, and my MAC lipglass. In the center of the makeup holder are smaller holes to hold lip pencils and eye pencils. All together I spent a total of $11 for all 3 makeup organizers! You can't find a great deal
like that anywhere. Well I hoped I help with the frustration of finding a makeup organizer that isn't going to break the bank.

❤️Taj meet Jolie❤️
Hey beauties, I'm back for another Nars review. Just in the mail today, Nars blush Tahj Mahal and Nars eyeshadow duo Jolie Poupee. Tahj Mahal is a orange with gold shimmer. It's a very nice summer color that can be used on top of your bronzed or by itself to give off a sun kissed look. Jolie Poupee is a duo purple eyeshadow palette. One side is a lavender shade and the other is a purple with a bit of shimmer. For an all purple eyeshadow look I would recommend the lavender on the lower eyelid with the purple in the crease, or you can apply the lavender all over the lid and on the outer corner you can place the purple for a smokey look. These two compact cases are very pigment and you only need to apply just a little bit. Also don't forget to apply an eyeshadow base for a longer lasting look.

Nars Product Review and Swatches
Hey beauties, just wanted to do a product review for Nars cosmetics. Nars makeup brand is like no other brand I've used. Nars makeup are much more pigmented and applies to the skin much more smoothly. I'm still a big fan of MAC cosmetics but, I decided to explore the makeup world a little more and branch out to other brands. I recently purchased Nars Albatross and Desire. These are my two new favorite blushes. Albatross looks white on pan but it's actually a golden, champaign color when applied to skin. It's great for highlighting your face to give it that glow and shimmer. Desire is a very bubble gum pink that is very pigment and a little goes a long way. All Nars blushes come with a mirror inside which I think is a great idea to help you apply makeup when on the go. Each blush is $30 which compared to MAC isn't too expensive because, MAC blushes are $28 without a mirror so for an extra $2 I think it's worth it. Well guys please check out my YouTube channel for more indepth details and swatches. www.youtube.com/pinklocksofmac86

Coco who? Coco-nut
Ok that title probably didn't make any sense but at least it got your attention :-) 
I decided to write this blog after having a conversation with a customer at the MAC cosmetics counter at Macy's this week. I was speaking to the MAC makeup artist and telling her about my skin and hair care routine and I explained to her that I use coconut oil because I have really dry skin and it helps to hydrant it. So a young women asked "did I over hear you say coconut oil?" I said yes I use it for my face,body, and hair. She said "but I thought it was only for cooking", and I told her that coconut oil has many different purposes. I explained that it works wonders for the skin and it helps your hair become more healthy and strong as well as helping it to grow. She was so intrigued by this and said that she will stop by the local health food store to get some. I told her that it's extra virgin coconut oil, and she can also purchase it from amazon.
So long story short extra virgin coconut oil is a great dietary food additive and it's also great for your skin and hair. You will see a difference after some time and I will always recommend it over any top named brand hair and body cream product anyday.
