Organization & Storage | Lipsticks, Lipglosses, etc.

Hi everyone, today's post will be my organizational method for storing my lip products. Since this year I vowed to use products up I think it'll be wise if I actually knew what I would be working with (the only lip products I've purchased this year was from my previous post) and organize them in a way that would help me use my products up. When I gathered up all of my lip products, I was surprised I had so much. I had more than what my storage container would allow and since I didn't want to purchase another container I had to work with what I got.


I got this container from my local Ben Franklin and I was previously using it. I thought I had about 3-4 more lip products hanging about that and that I had enough room to squeeze them in there but I was wrong, so wrong. Since I'm pretty familiar with what type of Mac lipsticks and glosses I have I decided to organize them.

Left: Non-everyday use lipsticks
Middle: Everyday use lipsticks
Right: Glosses

The rest of the lip products are put in a separate cosmetic bag. I need to go through which products I'll be keeping or will be giving away.

This was a real eye opener because of all of the makeup products I would think I wouldn't have this much lip products primarily because I don't like the residue of lipsticks and lipglosses on cups, I hardly venture far from nudes, and I've never run out of a lipstick/lipgloss. Oh what a dose of reality.

Haul | Mac

-->
 

Hi everyone, today I have a haul to share. I’ve been through makeup phases, like a phase in which I was obsessed with eyeshadow palettes. The one phase that I haven’t been through is a the phase of lip products. I have full lips and I’m pretty self-conscious of them. So I stick to my natural/nude shades because I don’t want any attention on them. Lately, I’ve embraced my full lips and now love them:) To celebrate I got a Mac’s lipstick in Diva and lipliner in Currant. I also picked up a pro long wear in Black Ice and pro long wear concealer in NW30. 

 

FOTD: 3 eyeshadows to smokey blues

Hi everyone! Today I have a FOTD post. I haven't done this for awhile. To be honest I hardly wear makeup, a maximum of once a week?

So here is my first FOTD ..

Introduction

So this is my first blog, geeezzz I thought I gave up blogging and webpaging a long time ago...Guess not! How rude of me, let me introduce myself I'm Shayna! I go by Distinque, don't know why but it sounds catchy? lol it's actually spelt Distingue and it means Distinguished in appearance, manner, or bearing..tyte shit huh? the 'q' looks better than the 'g' so I switched it. I should notify webster to change it huh?

Well I'm 21 and I live in Hawaii. I'm starting to blog well because of my makeup addiction. Yes, I am an addict! I wanted to do tutorials and reviews on certain product lines..mainly MAC because of their endless promotions and it happens to be one of the most popular makeup lines if not the POPULAR one. I just wanted to share my thoughts and I would like to hear yours also (if anyone is reading this) and maybe I'll share some tidbits of my life. Here's a picture of my collection...just the mac products. This was taken early this year and it really needs to be updated! Since then it has probably doubled? I also have Lancome, Clinique, etc. but majority of my collection is Mac (90%). My collection is small compared to others I've seen....Crazy!!!!



I placed an order with Maccosmetics a few days ago so I'm expecting a mighty big haul! Which includes the Antiquitease,Alexander McQueen, Mattene, Matte2, Lashes, Smoke Signals and Bluestrom. Sorry so late for some of these lines but it's better late then never? So I'll keep you posted once I received that shipment from them. By the way, Mac's website has additional information + pictures on the 2007 Holiday Collection! So check them out!
