College Countdown: Packing Makeup and Toilitries

Makeup
So this is where I keep all of my Makeup!  It was a basic small five drawer set with clear drawers from Walmart, and then I took tacky paper which I got from the dollar bin at Target and washi tape and decorated it!  I plan to label the drawers with chalkboard labels, but I have bad handwriting so I decided to wait and lett someone else write on them...

The top drawer is my most accessed face base products drawer!
  • Face
    • Primer
    • Full Coverage Foundation
    • Lighter Coverage BB Cream/Tinted Moisturizer
    • Under Eye Concealer
    • Spot Concealer
    • Pressed Powder
The second drawer contains all of my bluch, bronzer, and highlight products.

    • Blush
    • Highlight
    • Bronzer
In the back of my desk organizer I keep my letter organizer with my eyeshadow palletes
  • Eyeshadow
    • Eye Primer
    • Palletes - I suggest bringing primarily your favorite pallete, such as my Naked 3, instead of dealing with the clutter of single eyeshadows (even though I brought a few of those too...)
    • Cream Eyeshadow
This is my cluttered drawer with my eyeliner, mascara, and single eyeshadows
  • Eyeliner - These are just suggestions of things I use often, you obviously bring whatever works for you
    • Brown Pencil
    • Black Pencil
    • Liquid/Gel Eyeliner
    • Colorful - Something fun!
    • White - For the waterline
  • Mascara - I always bring much too much mascara... Maybe limit yourself to a waterproof and non-waterproof 
My favorite drawer!
  • Lips - Bring a good mix
    • Lip balm
    • Lipgloss
    • Lipstick

Emerald Isle Pics

I have been asked to post some more of my personal pictures of Emerald Isle since the last post I made, I actually haven't had the opportunity to go back since I got my new camera (and laptop) so I don't have any current pictures. I do happen to have some pictures of the beach (it was early spring and early in the morning, so they are kind of bland) that we went to on a school trip that is just a short distance up the island.  I hope you like them!! :) I PROMISE I will post some more (better ones) as soon as I can!

Walmart Beauty Box: Fall

I have been getting the Walmart Beauty Brandshare Box for two seasons now, and I really like it!  It is a $5 quarterly subscription, and you more than get your money's worth! This was my view as soon as I opened the box... I was already super excited!  There was so much stuff! The first thing I had to grab was this razor, because I was so excited to see it! Razors can be expensive, and I was sent this one for a fraction of a dollar! I have been using since receiving it, and it is a really nice razor.  It gives a close shave, but hasn't cut me.  It also has built in shave gel to give another layer of protection! I have owned this hairspray before, and it works pretty well, but it's not my favorite.  Overall though, it doesn't have a horrible smell and is a nice size! This self tanner looks a little orange and is a bit to glittery for my liking... I really enjoy Jergens self-tanner, and I like a certain amount of shimmer on my legs,...
