Another tip for lipstick swatches for those who may not want to rub their lipstick on paper, like me. Take a closeup picture of your lips wearing the lipstick. Print all the lip swatches out, laminate them, then put them on a key ring. When you want to know what lipstick to wear with a certain outfit or makeup look you can just hold the card up to your lips. The color will be more true for you.
Em Cee not really. You can just arrange then on a word doc and then print out all the sheets and laminate the sheets. If you have a paper cutter you can cut a bunch at once. You're local library should have one you can use.
Marguerite Moreau yes, you could do this, but the colors would be muted. Also, the purpose of doing what I suggested is for anyone who may feel they'd be wasting lipstick, especially the costly brands.
My daughter is 13 years old and we watched you every day this week during Spring break. Right away she worked on her room, we went to the Dollar Star. What a great lady you are! Funny, inspiring, so cute with your husband, beautiful on the inside and out. Great role model for a mom and a girl learning how to make it growing up!
The dirty brush container is gonna be a game changer for me! My “solution” has been to lay dirty brushes down on a tissue on my vanity 😐 Thank you! Btw if you don’t have a pastel-specific sketchbook, you can use a regular one & when done swatching your lipstick, use a light coating of hairspray to set it!
lol. When I clean my dresser he said the same thing "you have your things all nice and where's my stuff 😂. This guys want to mark their territory too lol
You genius of a woman! I've been trying to do the whole lazy Susan thing for a year but I can't find them in store or online for a decent price. I am sending you the biggest high five and hug !!!
you rock!!! when I saw the time on this video I thought to myself " I don't have time to watch this vid", but in watching it next thing I know I was at the end of the video. thanks for posting and I will definitely use these ideas:). thumbs up and new subbie!!!.
Omg I was trying to look back and figure out when I found you….and I found this little gem instead. In your apartment!!! Making crafts! So cute!! And Ryan making a little appearance at the end. And seriously, you haven’t changed one little bit!! 😮 That really speaks to skin care working. 8 years is a long time. And two pregnancies and a wedding and buying and decorating a house. Anyway, it was later than this, just had to watch for fun. When I found you Carter was a baby. Now I have to watch more of your realllllly old videos. You’re adorable!
I love this video! Im in the long process of organizing allllll my cosmetics. I love these ideas! I did the lazy susan with the marbles and it works sooooooo well and you can decorate it how you want!! Im doing the thing with the boxes and toilet paper rolls next! :) So cute!! I can tell you put a lot of effort into your videos. :)
OMG Thanks you! this is a revelation for me! I didn't know where to store my palettes, now I do! and that is thanks to you :) quite a blast for the first time on your channel!
Been searching high and low for a video like this! Cant wait to go to the craft store and get started!!! Thank you so much my dear.. may god bless you and your family! 😘😘😘
Aathmika Krishna yeah it's actually the home organizing wit Alejandra idea but she didn't gave her credit she used it as her own idea which is not!! Just saw the video!!
Wanza Beauty, you may not realize there could be 50 video's on YT which refer to the DIY Lazy Susan (cake pans w/marbles). That idea is as old as Alejandra. Unfortunately she won't be recognized as the inventor often.
Wanza Beauty Alejandra is annoying as all hell. I'm sure she isn't the original creator of it. isnt very hard to come up with it. also Alejandra steals ideas all the time anyway so it isn't a big deal.
I love the lazy Susan idea! That's geniuse and so versatile for different uses in the house. I made 2 of them and making 1 as a gift for my sisters vanity...
5th day of 66 days for the new habit of your ORGANIZED lifestyle. video 5. 2015. now it is 2018! so AWESOME that you are still makin' videos for us! MERCI I do not "do makeup" like you're accustomed to doing, so this video is not as useful to me as your others have been, yet always a pleasant experience to watch you be creative and helpful!
Zainab Abdul Ghani thank you! I like that this version has high sides so the foundations don't fall over the edge when you spin it -- most i've seen have a flat edge -& super easy to make!!
I have never commented on "ANY" TH-cam video I have viewed. But I want you to know I LOVE YOUR organization ideas, tips and creativity. You are awesome!
Emily Olson thank you! PS I think I'm going to do your 2014 favorites tag as a blog post this week, I really liked the questions - I just have all of my videos pre planned through the end of Feb!! ♡
BlackXS2108 thank you! At first I wasn't sure about it, was it worth the time to make, but i've been using it almost every day to pick out my lipstick shade and it's SO helpful to have. Also helped me realize I have about 6 lipsticks that are almost the identical color ...I need to lay off light pinks haha!
I love how you are able to come up with these cool ideas for organization and that you will share with us and I just love how you used those boxes and made that makeup container.
OMG, the best video ever! I am such a clutter bug and I am going to the store right now. They are so easy, even I can do them thanks. Cute idea dude stuff:)
Definitely I love these video, my favorite DIY is the first one, the storage for makeup brushes!! And my second favorite is the "hair, body and nails cart" that's one of my favorite solutions 💜 hope more videos lime these xoxo -Valeria 🙋🏼
Btw this video and your dos video from last year made me a subscriber a few months ago :) I just did your swatch book! I also used my empty Birchboxes to create storage! My dresser is so clean now! I feel so calm
Hey! So recently I've been buying way more makeup products,brushes.etc and I think all these ideas were good and it'll help me get everything beat and organized.thank you!
for the swatch book, why don't you just write the color name and brand before swatching? makes more sense for a lefty, so you have less chance of rubbing it off. or put the color on the right hand side of the page.....
Hahaha he does have a point! Lol And that would be helpful. I have my hubby & 2 sons that need organized! I love the ideas you shared today & look forward to the series! P.S. What is your nail color in this video. Very pretty & neutral.
Karri Case Yea his stuff was actually more disorganized than mine- he needed a little help too! As for my nails I get shellac now (bc I film videos and my chipping nail polish was a constant struggle). I'm not sure the color name I will ask next time I go in :)
Hello, fellow lefty! I've found the easiest way to handle the left-hander's smudge situation is to write your description first, then smudge your lipstick afterward (I realize it's too late for you now, but maybe if you re-make your smudge book, it's something to keep in mind). You could also put the smudge on the right-hand margin instead of the left. I often find that it is super helpful to do things "backwards" (inspired by Leonardo DaVinci) to be a lefty in a right-handed world.
You are brilliant! I am so thankful that you make these videos because I refer back to them over and over You have movie star good looks and should be on a major network. You will be discovered. Love the end of each video too, because my husband can relate
Also the makeup catalog is amazing . Idk how many times i have bought the same shade and brand at the drugstore. Its nice so i can see the colors but i love it because i can see what i already own.
Love love your idea with the cake pans , brilliant !!! All you seem to find is wooden or glass , love the idea of the metal !!! And the simplicity of the decor , amazing !!! Thank you , very original :)
This video was amazing! Very simple yet ingenious ideas! I'm moving in with a roommate soon who is a very clean/tidy person and this video is perfect for me to get all of my things organized! Thanks for sharing!
I love that unlike some gurus you put care into your DIYs and make sure they look precise and pretty and well done! I especially loved the first DIY! You have definitely earned a subscriber! Thank you for a great video!
This is probably the best DIY makeup storage videos I've ever watched! Such cute ideas!!! I really love the makeup brush boxes - gonna have to try that asap! Thanks!
I'm so happy I found your channel! Your DIY makeup storage is brilliant. I have the same storage problems, if I see my palettes I'll use them and constantly knocking over the foundations and primers. OMG I have the same plastic containers and yes they are too bulky and not easily accessible. Thank you!
I believe this is the first video I actually watched of yours and this is the one I absolutely fell in love with you! Keep doing what your doing! Your such an inspiration!
love ur videos. I use your storage ideas just not in the same rooms. back story: my skin went crazy so little old lady me goes to dermatologist for first time in my life. She examed my skin and asked "where do you store and/or put on your make-up?" uhhhh "in bathroom" she stopped her exam and gave me very gross info that made me go home and move everything out of bathroom but cleaning supplies and towel closet items. so, back to all ur organization tips. anything that couldn't be washed was remade and planned with ur vids. Reorganized my bedroom, and, although not quite finished yet, you literally saved me so much money for things I could easily remake or organize using your ideas and I swear iit is looking fab..... cause of you. A cute washable basket is filled w bath products to take when I shower, etc, and comes back out when through. My skin has already cleared up. No clutter on vanity. I have a library of your tips, tricks, organizations and no more skin issues. thanks for sharing. Washed all brushes, containers, and made a swatch book for lip sticks, glosses, foundations and nail polishes. Took longer to dry and I used a 3 ring binder with sectioned off areas and painted the cover with acrylics. thank you.
Just found your channel and this video was so amazing ! Your tips were so helpful and I'm definitely going to make some of the DIYSwhen I recover from my surgery ! Do you happen to have another video like this with more tips ? Because I'd love to see what else you have up your sleeve ! Have a lovely day !
I enjoyed your organization!! I like to use mason jars and old silver creamers from thrift stores. polish them up and they make your beauty tools look very pretty. I love the mirror idea... my next thrift store hunt! Thanks!

great idea...lots of work though haha
Em Cee not really. You can just arrange then on a word doc and then print out all the sheets and laminate the sheets. If you have a paper cutter you can cut a bunch at once. You're local library should have one you can use.
SingDea cool idea- that's definitely taking it to the next level!
Marguerite Moreau yes, you could do this, but the colors would be muted. Also, the purpose of doing what I suggested is for anyone who may feel they'd be wasting lipstick, especially the costly brands.
SingDea or you could use a lip brush to transfer the lipstick on paper.
My daughter is 13 years old and we watched you every day this week during Spring break. Right away she worked on her room, we went to the Dollar Star. What a great lady you are! Funny, inspiring, so cute with your husband, beautiful on the inside and out. Great role model for a mom and a girl learning how to make it growing up!
The fact that Ryan is as supportive as he is and is part of her videos is awesome! These were great DIYs..thank you for sharing!
Angie Huerta I know -and poor guy I always ask him to film after a long day of work when he's super tired too. What a trooper :)
Indeed! That's is love right there! =D #happysunday
👍
that homemade lazy Susan idea is pure genius!
I was thinking that!
+Tifani Powers yessssss

Tifani Powers I
Lol the end with your husband was adorable by the way
The dirty brush container is gonna be a game changer for me! My “solution” has been to lay dirty brushes down on a tissue on my vanity 😐 Thank you! Btw if you don’t have a pastel-specific sketchbook, you can use a regular one & when done swatching your lipstick, use a light coating of hairspray to set it!
I would have NEVER thought of the diy lazy susan...VERY smart!!!
Cute idea for a lazy Susan. A candle in the center would be pretty!
lol. When I clean my dresser he said the same thing "you have your things all nice and where's my stuff 😂. This guys want to mark their territory too lol
+Gladys Rios The lazy susan idea was great but you could also spray paint it to coordinate with your bathroom as well.
Thank you ! 😉😉 for the idea
You genius of a woman! I've been trying to do the whole lazy Susan thing for a year but I can't find them in store or online for a decent price. I am sending you the biggest high five and hug !!!

Omg I was trying to look back and figure out when I found you….and I found this little gem instead. In your apartment!!! Making crafts! So cute!! And Ryan making a little appearance at the end. And seriously, you haven’t changed one little bit!! 😮 That really speaks to skin care working. 8 years is a long time. And two pregnancies and a wedding and buying and decorating a house. Anyway, it was later than this, just had to watch for fun. When I found you Carter was a baby. Now I have to watch more of your realllllly old videos. You’re adorable!

Hello, fellow lefty!
I've found the easiest way to handle the left-hander's smudge situation is to write your description first, then smudge your lipstick afterward (I realize it's too late for you now, but maybe if you re-make your smudge book, it's something to keep in mind). You could also put the smudge on the right-hand margin instead of the left. I often find that it is super helpful to do things "backwards" (inspired by Leonardo DaVinci) to be a lefty in a right-handed world.
Jaja the dude's stuff lol 😂😂😂
And your son was born in January so that's a huge reason to look forward to The month🙂😍👶🏼
Who is watching 2016 March
Me
The rolling carts you got from Ikea is genius to use for your hair body and nail products!!
I wish it was possible to subscribe twice...or three times...
You are brilliant! I am so thankful that you make these videos because I refer back to them over and over You have movie star good looks and should be on a major network. You will be discovered. Love the end of each video too, because my husband can relate
Lefties Enemy: Spiral Notebook :-X
what i mean is if ur left handed you will have struggle to write in spiral notebook :D i just found it on yt
+Trinity people who write with their left hands are lefties. So spiral notebooks suck cuz your hand always runs on the metal spiral.
Omg you make the best DIY videos! They are so cute, creative and easy! Please make more soon! I find them super helpful.
Hahaha! Love the "dude stuff"
Also the makeup catalog is amazing . Idk how many times i have bought the same shade and brand at the drugstore. Its nice so i can see the colors but i love it because i can see what i already own.
Love love your idea with the cake pans , brilliant !!! All you seem to find is wooden or glass , love the idea of the metal !!! And the simplicity of the decor , amazing !!! Thank you , very original :)
OMG, you saved my life!!!! This makeup storage ideas are HEAVEN! I´m gonna do them myself AS SOON AS I CAN!
I just watched 7 different diy makeup organizer vids and yours by far is the best..Thank you for such great ideas. The lazy Susan was my favorite.
This video was amazing! Very simple yet ingenious ideas! I'm moving in with a roommate soon who is a very clean/tidy person and this video is perfect for me to get all of my things organized! Thanks for sharing!
Love the lipstick book idea 😍
All of your ideas blow my mind! You're amazing!!!!
love the studs/pearls you added to be decorative
I don't have many lipsticks, but i have a lot of nail polish. So i just used the swatch book idea for that! It works very well.
I love that unlike some gurus you put care into your DIYs and make sure they look precise and pretty and well done! I especially loved the first DIY! You have definitely earned a subscriber! Thank you for a great video!
Ahhh I'm soooo using your swatch book idea, the utility cart, and the rotating table! I'm in love with your ideas haha
January is one of my favorite months because it's the start of the new year and I was born exactly 3 weeks into it!
This is probably the best DIY makeup storage videos I've ever watched! Such cute ideas!!! I really love the makeup brush boxes - gonna have to try that asap! Thanks!
I'm so happy I found your channel! Your DIY makeup storage is brilliant. I have the same storage problems, if I see my palettes I'll use them and constantly knocking over the foundations and primers.

That lazy susan idea deserves an award! Thanks for the inspiration!

Wow every single idea I will be using!! This seriously was amazing! Please come up with more! The foundation idea was absolutely genius!
Oh MY Goodness!! I love the SWATCH BOOK!!! Bravo!!! Inspirational!!!
I am so in love with these! Especially the DIY lazy suzan.
Loved the idea of using energy bar boxes for makeup storage.
I believe this is the first video I actually watched of yours and this is the one I absolutely fell in love with you! Keep doing what your doing! Your such an inspiration!
