The Makeup Edit - April 2013

On the weekend I did a massive clean and organise of the room I keep all my makeup, film my videos and try to blog from (when it's not covered in shit!).

I'm going to do a post soon on the stuff I bought to tidy it all up and organise it a bit better, so stay tuned for that. I love a good organisational post!

One of the things I bought was what i'd like to call a "dupe" for the popular MakeUp Box or the clear boxes the Kardashians are always using, however mine cost me $16 from Officeworks (I love that place!).

So i've decided to keep this on my dressing table and only put in it things I plan to wear as my everyday makeup, then I decided it would be fun to do this as a series and every month I swap things around and update you guys. It keeps me using different products and stepping outside my comfort zone.

So after that long intro, welcome to the makeup edit!

Rules
  • Some products won't be rotated, this is could be because either they are HG items or I simply don't have something to swap them out with
  • If i'm doing makeup for a special occasion I can dip into my regular collection, what I select for the edit is mainly for my everyday makeup.
  • I will try and rotate around mid month, it works better for my editorial calendar (haha that sounds so pro...) but mainly because beginning of the month is reserved for my favourites.
  • I will always note products that i'm trialling etc and let me know if you'd like a review! I'll also link to any reviews/swatches I may have already done for any products already in the edit.

  2. Do it!!! It's been great for my "Everyday" makeup and makes my mornings a bit easier just having a small selection of things to use. I'm excited about picking next months!
