Jesses Girl Cosmetics haul

I keep randomly talking about Jesses girl here and there, but im slacking on making an actual review! HELLO! haha. Im going to get on it, i promise. They are so worth review. I know times are tough, and if you dont do makeup professionally you might not want to spend tons of money on it, this is for sure a great purchase for your money! Jesses girl lose eye shadows go for about 3.99 a piece at most drug stores.

The ones pictured above are from the first round i purchased a while ago. I got these few because i had heard good things about them but wanted to try them out for myself before i went and got every single color lol.


They come in lose form, and are SUPER pigmented. For 3.99, these are a steal because umm they are WAY up there in color pay off. The only downfall is that i hate lose powder because its kind of messy, but these are worth it.

After loving my first round, i decided to go back and get some more. I had a list of like 16 colors that i wanted to get, BUT umm i'll split it in two more rounds because geesh if i get all of them i'll be overwhelmed and wont try them. i LOVE these new colors i got, they are GORGEOUS! I had the hardest time choosing only 8 because i really, really wanted them all. They have a great selection of colors. Here's a closer look at the new ones....


this has to be my FAVE! "trouble maker"

"kiwi rose"

"key lime"

"fruit punch"

"sunlit cactus"


"pink glitz"

"antique green"

"ultra violet"

All are super gorgeous and well worth their money. I cant wait to try these out. Maybe i'll do something funky with them tomorrow. Go and check these out girls they are so worth the money. I think i got these at brooks to be exact, and payed around 30 something for all 8. They also have an eyeshadow primer that works pretty good as well. You can also get these online on the Jesses Girl website.

Sallys Haul...again lol

I really need to stay away from Sally's. i feel like every time i drive by it, i HAVE to stop and check what they have. I guess its because bank of America is right next to it. womp womp haha. Anyways, after getting all that nail stuff, i decided to go again and get more.

i got these adorable flowers, and more watermelons.
i got this clay art wheel but i don't know how i feel about it. i only bought it because i liked 3 or 4 of these flowers, and the rest are BLAH. They had these GORGEOUS butterflies that i must get next time I'm there.

Since I've been buying so many clay art things, i went and got these little jars since not all of them come in a jar. Thank god i found these because i had no clue how i was going to store these. The wheel thing sucks, every time i turn it at least 5 flowers fall out, or fall into the other compartments. wahhhhhh!

Sallys Haul

when will me endless money blowing on girly stuff end? GEESH. i really need to budget myself...or try never leaving my house lol. i went to pick up my contacts today and i decided to stop by sallys since it was on my way home. i initially went in there for a nail polish thinner because i have a couple polishes that are thickening up. i really need to stick to my plan A lol. as soon as i walked in there i was WOW'ed because they now have a whole wall just for nail art stuff, how could i resist?!!!! there were a million and one things i wanted to get BUT i took a deep breather and told myself "you can always come back next week for more" lmao. so these were my chosen few....




yes, i went a little nail art crazy, but what can a girl do?
i also found the perfect chocolate brown color that i have been looking for everywhere! i had a mani done at the salon and i got this gorgeous brown color; but i couldnt find a brown like it anywhere ....till now!! its by finger paints; dont know the name off the top of my head but if you want to know just askkkk away.
i also FINALLY found a dotter!! i've been looking like crazy for one of these puppies but sally always seems to be sold out -angry face- so there were two left and i wasnt going to let history repeat itself! i needed it now!

the dotter also has a detailing brush on the other side; hmm double yay! all in all today was a very successful purchase day! lol im going to give myself an adorable manicure and pedicure today; and i shall post up pictures tomorrow!! WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? GIRLLLLLL GO GET SOME NAIL ART GOODIES FROM SALLYS!!

PT 2

so, last but not least is my cute little cube; which i adore. i purchased it at walmart in the back to dorm section for $3.00 and its worthhhhhhh every penny.

On the tippy top i have my hand sanitizers; and eye makeup remover; those are a must!
it has a cute little compartment where i put my handy dandy scotch tape that i use to keep eyeshadow fall out from happening.

in 1 of two little bins i have all my eye liner pencils, liquid liners, lip liner, etc

and in the other i have all my liquid foundations, tinted moisturizer, and face primers.

and of course; cant forget the sexy man that watches me get ready every day; rawr lmao

do you have any ideas on how to better organize makeup? or do you want to share how you organize yours? send pictures to rexinpink@gmail.com !!

Makeup Organizing pt one

So, as mentioned in the previous blog; i bought two new containers for my ever growing makeup collection. I try not to stock up too much because i barely use makeup on myself(like heavy duty eyeshadow + concealer) and it DOES expire so i dont want to waste money. I am however starting to buy more things for my kit(the makeup i use on other people); so i needed a new system that helped me organize my stuff aside from the stuff that goes in my kit. I randomly decided at like 11:00pm that i was going to fix all my makeup stuff up and switch some things around. (you can enlarge the pictures for a better view by clicking on them!!)

so, this is the area where i try to keep most of my stuff. it was taking up so much room before because i kind of let it get out of control; but it seems to be working so far. i keep all my nail art stuff separate because egh that would just be TOO much clutter for one side of the room. i usually dont do my makeup here; i tend to do it in my moms room because she has a wall to wall mirror and better lighting; or i take it over to the bathroom. p.s i know you guys LOVE my Edward Cullen life size stand up haha!

this is the first shelf. i honestly dont remember where i got this; its been that long. it comes in handy. im always changing around what i put on here but for now this seems to serve its purpose. the round box is just where i put random papers and mail that i haven't opened.

first shelf: this is where i keep things that i use on a regular. my little magnifying mirror, face lotion, contact water, my contact case, my toners, and that to the far right is a specimen cup from work haha that i use to put alcohol in so i can disinfect my makeup. handy dandy huh? lol

second shelf: these are the nail polishes i use the most. i use to keep them in boxes, but egh it got annoying having to open and close; and just the storage wasn't working for me because i paint my nails ALOT. so i figured i'd put the nail polishes i most frequently use on a shelf. i do classify them by brand so that they are easier to find.

this really works for me because i have them in my face; which encourages me to use them. also it reminds me what colors i have. another thing is when i had them in the box, sometimes i would forget to even try the new polishes and they would just get lost in the sea of colors. this works so much better; i love it!

the third shelf; is just where i keep my color scheme books, my portfolio book, my makeup look scrap book, my bobby brown makeup books, baby wipes, a cloth to wipe off my brushes, ear cleaners(in the container), and mascara and lipstick disposable wands for when i do other peoples makeup.

this little section is for my nail art stuff/nail tools. here i keep nail clippers, cotton balls, manicure/pedicure tools, nail art polishes and stickers etc.

in this little container i keep all the nail art stickers, and anything else that is nail art related.

this is my second little section where i keep most of my makeup. Edward guards it with his life lol. muahhh i love him lol.

in this little basket i keep a jar with my face brushes; blush brush, all over face powder brush, and a foundation brush. i also have nail polish removers, nail dry spray, my vitamin E oil and my tea tree oil. the green case in the background is where i keep my falsies.

i had all my brushes in a pencil case; but that was no good because some of the bristles were getting messed up; so i stuck them all in a second little jar.

these range from every kind and brand you can imagine. you can never have too many eye shadow brushes because they all work differently.

here you see some cotton swabs that i use for cleanup; rubbing alcohol that i use to disinfect my makeup, and a spray bottle that i use to spray my stuff with alcohol.

in this little pouch i keep my falsies. i dont really have more than 5 pairs at a time because i dont wear them on a regular. i tend to have more around prom season time for the girls to chose from if they decide to go with falsies.

to the left starts my little glorious tower of makeup storage bins. i got this white one at either target or walmart; but i highly suggest going to walmart during the back to dorm season because they go down in price like crazy. i payed around 10 bucks for this one, and found one yesterday for five!! they are very handy and comfortable!

in drawer 1/3 are all my single eye shadows. they range from mac, to loreal HIP, to sephora, to everything else you can imagine!

in 2/3 are all my gel liners, mascaras, brow gels, concealers, and some liquid liners. basically anything eye related will be in here.

3/3 is all lip stuff. here i have lip balms, chap sticks, lip sticks, glosses. you name it, i got it lol. brands range from high end, to drug store. i love them all.

the next tower is this blue organizer that i recently bought.

drawer 1/3 holds all my blushes

2/3 holds all my palettes and duos.

and 3/3 has all my face powders and bronzers.

the next stacker i also purchased from either target or walmart. this one was around 5-7.00$ to the side of the tower is my MAC fix plus that i adoreeee!

drawer 1/5 is makeup wedges

2/5 is samples of things i want to try before i buy

3/5 are my jessies girl eye dust; which are awesome so this will be FILLED soon!

4/5 holds all my cream eye shadows; primers; and bases.

and 5/5 holds misc brushes that are too small to fit in the jars.

this last stacker i bought at walmart for 3.00$ in the college dorm section yesterday! i adore it, its just so darn cute!! lol
