Choose the Best Make Up Case

Make up storage and in particular a make up case is essential for everyone's make up collection. It helps you to organize your prized cosmetics, protect them from dirt and contamination, and makes it easier to find what you need. It also helps to  keep your place tidy, since make up items can be so small; keeping them in one place can seem an impossible task. But when you place everything in segmented compartments of a case however, it should at the very least become an organized chaos.

Depending on your budget and needs, there are many make up storage cases to choose from. You can select a big one to hold more stuff, however, it would not be convenient to carry for photo shoots or outdoor events. For travelling purposes you can choose a smaller size or something with wheels underneath.

Most make up cases come with foldable tiers. It depends on what items you want to place in them though to know which is best. You can place your lipsticks and eye pencils on those with smaller dividers and shallow pans. Liquid bottles for foundations or spray cans would require a deeper container and probably less dividers.

When you select the material, make sure that it has a sturdy base that would not fall off easily. You might think you got a good bargain in buying from a selection of cheap make up cases but usually they are actually heavier than the others. Also sometimes the corners get rusty or the fabrics peel off. Since you would be using it for a long time, it is better to invest a bit more on an expensive case.

The best places to look are the make up stores. At any one time, someone will be having a promo that they come free with make up supplies. Plastic storage stores also have great selection for a cheaper version. They usually have kits meant for household utensils, medicines etc.

In choosing a make up storage case, look around at what other people use for their collection. Based on this advice, you will surely then find the right case for your precious make up.

Makeup Makes the Perfect Gift

I'd always been the type of girl that liked going all natural. I felt that wearing makeup meant hiding my true self and that I didn't have the time to wear it. My mom was the same way and no one ever bothered to teach me any beauty tips and tricks so that I'd know how to use it right. As I've gotten older though, I've realized that makeup can be fun. Seeing celebrity before and after photos show that makeup doesn't have to be used to make someone look different just better.

I was fortunate enough to receive makeup as a gift for Hanukkah last year. My sister-in-law bought me a starter kit and a gift card to get anything else I may need. I went in to a specialty make up store and had a lesson, got some free make up tips, and I'm amazed at how great I look. I still look like me, but don't feel fake. It was just a matter of knowing how to apply it to make myself look good.

Now I love it and am slightly obsessed with creating new looks. It's just that it can get expensive, and so I've started suggesting that my friends get me different specialty makeup products as gifts. We have girly makeover nights where we all try new looks and we shop together to create new styles. We cover everything from eye, lip, face and cheek makeup to skin care products, hair products, you name it.

When I first received the make up as a gift, I was surprised, since I wasn't used to receiving it as a gift. But now, it's one of my favorite things ever and I get super excited anytime anyone chooses to give me makeup or cosmetics as a gift. It's fun to get all dolled up and pretty, I even asked my husband to go shopping with me and we played in the store and he bought me some products that he especially liked. It really is fun to be a girl and get all fancied up, but it's way more fun when someone else is buying!
