Storing your makeup brushes

For a while now, I have just been throwing my makeup brushes into a bag and hadn't realized how much damage it was causing my brushes. I thought I would share with you how I store my brushes.

The Marilyn Monroe boxes were a gift and I store my brushes in the last box. I keep my everyday makeup in the middle box and small things (cotton buds, cotton pads, swabs, etc) in the top box. I usually keep the perfume I am currently using on top so that it is convenient. On the right, you can see that I try and keep my brushes neat so that they do not lose their shape.

I found these ideas online and I thought they were clever!

MAC Favorites

MAC has always been one of my favorite beauty brands and today I will be sharing my favorite products with you.

I use all of the products above on a daily basis. Ruby Woo is the perfect shade of bright red to compliment my skin tone and because it has a matte lipstick, it does not transfer off your lips. Their creme blend blushes are indreibly pigmented. I am currently using a shade called "Posey". The Fluidline is a gel eyeliner which is easy to apply and the shade "Blacktrack" is a very deep black. It doesn't smudge at all. Opulash would have to be my favorite mascara because it makes my lashes look naturally longer and thicker without any clumping. The 168 Contour brush is perfect for applying powder products onto your cheeks (I do not use this brush for the creme blend blush).

Do you have any favorite MAC products? Are you lusting after any?
