Aging


I've always had plastic surgery in mind. Not now! Someday when I'm all old and wrinkly. But then I came upon some pictures of Audrey Hepburn in her old age (she died at 63). She still looked pretty even with wrinkles - which made me change my mind. Looking naturally pretty at old age is definitely better than looking like all plastic and no control of your forehead. 

Aging gracefully is the way to go.







"True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows & the beauty of a woman only grows with passing years.” 
Audrey Hepburn

The Make-up Shelf


I finally got around to organizing my make up shelf! Some of you might ask: wouldn't it be easier to have make up on the vanity? But I've got a whole lot of other stuff there (skincare products/hair products/perfumes/...). A shelf in my closet is the perfect place - especially because of all the mirrors.

Here's what I did:
I threw away all my old make up. Then I bought some organizing containers from Daiso, plus I reused some of the stuff I already had. I organized my make up from left to right by process of application. So the order goes like this: skin care products, concealers, tinted moisturizers/foundations and other bottles, brushes, eye shadow and powder/cream compacts. lip/eye-liners & mascaras, lipsticks.

 I still need to get a container from to separate my lipliners from my eyeliners. Also, there are a few odd products with no containers or that don't really belong in a specific group, but I'll figure that out later...
