time to get a train


i told you recently in a post that one day soon i might show you my makeup collection. 

well today is the day. aren't you excited? woo hoo!

i decided to share this with you because my makeup collection recently went from looking like this . . .

to this . . .

hallelujah. 

so i thought i'd share a step by step on how to transform and organize your makeup collection. 

it's pretty difficult. take notes.
step 1. 
sephora-store

by plane, train or automobile get yourself to a sephora, ulta, target or wherever you buy your makeup.

step 2.

 upon entering these enchanting stores you must self-induce tunnel vision. seriously. trot right past the above temptations
and get yourself to these beauties . . .
step 3.

now pull out your pocket book and get yourself a makeup train case.

i've been wanting one for sometime now and as you can see from the top photo i've desperately needed it. i finally took the plunge and my makeup has been thanking me ever since.

a place for everything. and everything in it's place.

my brushes and blushes have never been so happy. 

if you lack drawer and closest space in your bathroom like me i guarantee if you get yourself a train case it will solve all your problems in life with storing your makeup.

Fabulous!! I just recently began working at Sephora and was looking at the train cases. I am always interested in organization. :)

This is cracking me up. As my boys and I were walking through Target yesterday, I pointed out a train case and told them to tell their father that I want one for Christmas.
Organization is key.

While I totally think this is amazing....I'm laughing REALLY HARD, because allll of my makeup would fit into one of those little trays.

okay, i seriously need to get one of these. not only do they just make you look so profession when it comes to make-up but it's just so convenient. how big is it?!

I am an absolute make-up freak myself! I use to do it professionally, and I am addicted. I have about 3 of these cases LOL
What a fun post! AND now I have your button, so so sweet blog!!!

haha, I could store craft bits in there. I only own one tube of tinted moisturizer and maybe 2 colors of eyeshadow so my makeup would look sad and lonely in that big ol' case. Yours looks very pretty and organized though.

Loved this post! My makeup drawer is a DISASTER! I would love to have this awesome train case to organize all my stuff! Falsies! I like that mascara! :) Was it expensive?!
