A Cute, Money-Saving Way To Store Your Makeup

If you are addicted to makeup, you are familiar with the struggle of running out of space to actually put your makeup. This can often lead to some of your favorite lipsticks or eyeliners being misplaced, and that is a heartbreaking thing to even think about. Makeup organizers can often cost a lot of money and not cater to your available space. For reasons like these, a great way to organize your makeup is to simply DIY your own organizers. Here are a few ideas.

1. Glass Containers

Glass containers like these are a cute DIY that require very minimal effort and are great for storing brushes. All you do is find the containers of your liking, fill them with pebbles, beads, marbles, or whatever other filling you choose, label them with stickers, and stick your brushes inside of them.

2. Magnet Frame

This magnetic frame is a great way to organize and store your smaller makeup items. To make this, all you need to do is choose a frame, wrap the back piece with some decorative paper, then buy and stick on mini magnets (such as the ones in the bottom picture) onto your makeup products and the board itself (before covering it in paper).

3. Mason Jars

Mason jars are a classic way to organize just about anything you can think of. One way to use them to organize your makeup is to buy whatever size you'd like and use sharpies to decorate them. You can even draw little faces on them like the one pictured above. This DIY won't cost you more than a few dollars per mason jar.

4. Shoe Organizer

This DIY takes the trophy for the easiest to do. All you have to do is buy a shoe organizer and stuff all of your makeup in the pockets. Could it get any easier?

5. Holders

These plastic holders are simple, but are great because they can be made into a pyramid such as the one above. All you have to do is crazy glue them in the formation you want, let them dry, and place your items wherever you'd like them.

6. Letter Holder

This DIY, just like the shoe organizer one, is as easy as purchasing something and using it for a different purpose. Buying something like a letter holder is a great way to store your eye shadow palettes that lay stacked up on your bureau or vanity.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
