Makeup Area tour/ Makeup Collection

I have been dreaming for my own ultimate vanity. My makeup collection has grown so much in the past year that I really needed a way to organize it. As soon as I moved into my new place I have been brainstorming my dream vanity.

I started out with an Ikea magazine of course. I love Ikea. As soon as I laid eyes on these shelves I knew this is what I wanted. It all just came to me after that. I decided I wanted a nice clean mirror long to see everything. Of course, lights! Lots of lights all around the mirror. Before I got this ultimate vanity I used to use the sunlight way early in the morning. I used to try and rush to finish my makeup before 8:30 am because that was around the time started to rise high and it would completely blind me. I definitely needed some good lights. I went on a big Ikea trip and bought everything I needed all at once. I got the lights just as I envisioned them. I got the perfect long mirror and I got the shelves.

I admit I procrastinated a bit because I installed everything about 3-4 days after my Ikea trip but I am so happy with the outcome. After installing the setup like I wanted it next came a little more procrastination until I finally organized everything.

Here are pictures of my setup and with it comes a little bit of a makeup collection as well. This makeup is my favorite products by the way. I have more makeup that I use in my makeup kit for clients. There's no reason to display that stuff.

Anyway here's the photos:

Weekly Inspiration Finds.

This is one of those posts where I repeat every week different inspirational pictures I come across. Whenever I do my makeup or nails I first skim thru lots of different pictures and find ones that inspire me to create a look. I'm more referring to makeup other then my eveyrday makeup style. When I want to go a little crazy I take inspiration from amazing makeup artists.

I have to say my absolute favorite makeup brand is MAC cosmetics! They're eyeshadow is so blendable that I don't know why I tried any other eyeshadow. I still buy other brands now and then but my first choice is always MAC. I also love the different lipstick choices they have. I just have nothing bad to say about MAC.

Here are some pictures I came across and found inspirational. (most are screenshots from my instagram)

Museum of the Moving Image

I checked out this museum a couple of days ago and I had a ton of fun. I was itching for some inspiration, some knowledge, something new. I browsed the Time Out NY website for a list of museums and the Museum of the Moving Image caught my eye.

I've never been and I've only heard about it from a handful of people. So I decided to troop it in this blistering NYC cold and see what this museum is all about.

NEW* NEW* NEW*

Yes, all new everything! I recently followed some new blogs and got inspired to change my blog look completely. I'm not yet done with it but this is just the start of it. I have brainstormed lots in the last few days and there's so many new things coming. I am excited to announce these new things I have in the works. But not yet. Not until every idea is well executed will I finally announce this.

I am going to pretty much use this time to bring this blog up to date. (list form)

New Year's Eve

Ah.. New Year's Eve. A night of saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the fresh and new. Up until this year it has been a family event where I spend the night with my family and ring in the New Year at home. Not this year. This year I worked.

I wasn't going to work but they kind of needed me there. The party was sold out and it was packed! I have to admit I had a LOT of fun working that night. The customers were great and the night was full of serious fun!
