DIY Makeup & Beauty Product Storage Ideas!

I'm such a sucker for great organization, especially when it comes to my makeup and beauty products! 

But let's face it, sometimes it can get pretty expensive to buy all those containers and organizers, especially when you have a lot of products to sort through! In this post, I'm going to be showing you all some simple and cute ways that you can organize your makeup, using items you probably already have laying around your house!

January Book Haul

So if you didn't know, I'm a HUGE book worm. I'm obsessed with reading. I talked briefly about how I'm going to be including all things I enjoy on this blog from now on, instead of just makeup and beauty. One of the things I want to share are books I like, buy, or am currently reading! I picked up some new reads at the beginning of January and didn't get to post this little book haul until now because of everything that happened this month, but here it is, better late than never! 

I can't wait to read the Divergent series! I've heard great things about it. A lot of people say that if you're a fan of the Hunger Games, that you'll like this series as well. The story is also based in my home city, Chicago!

I'm a HUGE fan of John Green's books. He's definitely one of my favorites. I've already started this one and I love it so far. Another favorite by him is Looking For Alaska, which is one of those "Coming of Age" books like Perks of Being A Wallflower by Stephen Chboski that you just HAVE to read or your life will never be complete.

This purchase I was most excited for. It's a Q and A A Day Journal. It asks a new question every day, and you answer each question for 5 years! I thought it was such a cool way to look back at your life and remember things that you might not have. I started mine on the first day of January! Can't wait to see how things have changed over the years, as well as how/if you've changed as a person!

So that's the end of my book haul. I have so many more books on my list to buy! I'll be sure to let you guys know of any more book purchases I make in the future! Let me know if you'd like to see more posts about some of my favorite books and other books I recommend!

Have you purchased any books lately? What are you currently reading?

MAC Prep and Prime Lash Review

So I recently reviewed my new favorite mascara, the Covergirl Clump Crusher. I've been in absolutely in love with it. Paired with it, I've also been obsessed with another mascara. This one isn't any old mascara, it's actually a lash primer! I first heard about this from one of my favorite girls to watch on YouTube, Abbie Durham (Click HERE to go to her YouTube channel. She's amazing, definitely go and check her out!). She doesn't post videos often, but she's absolutely gorgeous and very talented. One of the main reasons I love watching her, is because she always mentions really great products and usually they're things that I've never heard of! You guys know I love my DermaBlend Smooth Indulgence Concealer - heard
about that one from her as well! Well in all of her videos, she uses a lash primer, the MAC Prep and Prime Lash Mascara. Besides from her, I've never heard anyone talk about this product! Nonetheless, I decided to pick it up since she raves about it and now after using it, I can definitely see why! It does amazing things for my lashes and I'm absolutely in love!
