Now that spring is in full swing, you're probably really excited to experiment with new makeup trends. Before you start, you must organize your makeup bag. If you do this properly, your daily beauty routine will go a lot smoother and your expensive products won't go to waste.
Throw away old products. If it's smelly, dried up, separated and leaky, it's time to say au revoir. Be sure to check the shelf life of each item. Remove anything that you haven't used in months - you most likely won't wear it again. Clean your makeup brushes and place them upright in a glass.
Beauty April 2, 2012 I had reviewed Caroline Chu's skin care in the past and had learned that she recently launched a new line of eye shadows. Available in six tropically-themed palettes, each Flying Colors Eye Shadow contains two gorgeously blendable shades that are paraben-free. I happen to love the Amazonian Love (chartreuse/teal green) and Coco Harris (shimmering gold/chocolate) duos. It was also featured in the April issue of Lucky Magazine.
