Another tip for lipstick swatches for those who may not want to rub their lipstick on paper, like me. Take a closeup picture of your lips wearing the lipstick. Print all the lip swatches out, laminate them, then put them on a key ring. When you want to know what lipstick to wear with a certain outfit or makeup look you can just hold the card up to your lips. The color will be more true for you.
Em Cee not really. You can just arrange then on a word doc and then print out all the sheets and laminate the sheets. If you have a paper cutter you can cut a bunch at once. You're local library should have one you can use.
Marguerite Moreau yes, you could do this, but the colors would be muted. Also, the purpose of doing what I suggested is for anyone who may feel they'd be wasting lipstick, especially the costly brands.
My daughter is 13 years old and we watched you every day this week during Spring break. Right away she worked on her room, we went to the Dollar Star. What a great lady you are! Funny, inspiring, so cute with your husband, beautiful on the inside and out. Great role model for a mom and a girl learning how to make it growing up!
The dirty brush container is gonna be a game changer for me! My “solution” has been to lay dirty brushes down on a tissue on my vanity 😐 Thank you! Btw if you don’t have a pastel-specific sketchbook, you can use a regular one & when done swatching your lipstick, use a light coating of hairspray to set it!
You genius of a woman! I've been trying to do the whole lazy Susan thing for a year but I can't find them in store or online for a decent price. I am sending you the biggest high five and hug !!!
you rock!!! when I saw the time on this video I thought to myself " I don't have time to watch this vid", but in watching it next thing I know I was at the end of the video. thanks for posting and I will definitely use these ideas:). thumbs up and new subbie!!!.
Omg I was trying to look back and figure out when I found you….and I found this little gem instead. In your apartment!!! Making crafts! So cute!! And Ryan making a little appearance at the end. And seriously, you haven’t changed one little bit!! 😮 That really speaks to skin care working. 8 years is a long time. And two pregnancies and a wedding and buying and decorating a house. Anyway, it was later than this, just had to watch for fun. When I found you Carter was a baby. Now I have to watch more of your realllllly old videos. You’re adorable!
I love this video! Im in the long process of organizing allllll my cosmetics. I love these ideas! I did the lazy susan with the marbles and it works sooooooo well and you can decorate it how you want!! Im doing the thing with the boxes and toilet paper rolls next! :) So cute!! I can tell you put a lot of effort into your videos. :)
I love the lazy Susan idea! That's geniuse and so versatile for different uses in the house. I made 2 of them and making 1 as a gift for my sisters vanity...
lol. When I clean my dresser he said the same thing "you have your things all nice and where's my stuff 😂. This guys want to mark their territory too lol
Been searching high and low for a video like this! Cant wait to go to the craft store and get started!!! Thank you so much my dear.. may god bless you and your family! 😘😘😘
5th day of 66 days for the new habit of your ORGANIZED lifestyle. video 5. 2015. now it is 2018! so AWESOME that you are still makin' videos for us! MERCI I do not "do makeup" like you're accustomed to doing, so this video is not as useful to me as your others have been, yet always a pleasant experience to watch you be creative and helpful!
OMG Thanks you! this is a revelation for me! I didn't know where to store my palettes, now I do! and that is thanks to you :) quite a blast for the first time on your channel!
I love how you are able to come up with these cool ideas for organization and that you will share with us and I just love how you used those boxes and made that makeup container.
Emily Olson thank you! PS I think I'm going to do your 2014 favorites tag as a blog post this week, I really liked the questions - I just have all of my videos pre planned through the end of Feb!! ♡
Zainab Abdul Ghani thank you! I like that this version has high sides so the foundations don't fall over the edge when you spin it -- most i've seen have a flat edge -& super easy to make!!
Aathmika Krishna yeah it's actually the home organizing wit Alejandra idea but she didn't gave her credit she used it as her own idea which is not!! Just saw the video!!
Wanza Beauty, you may not realize there could be 50 video's on YT which refer to the DIY Lazy Susan (cake pans w/marbles). That idea is as old as Alejandra. Unfortunately she won't be recognized as the inventor often.
Wanza Beauty Alejandra is annoying as all hell. I'm sure she isn't the original creator of it. isnt very hard to come up with it. also Alejandra steals ideas all the time anyway so it isn't a big deal.
BlackXS2108 thank you! At first I wasn't sure about it, was it worth the time to make, but i've been using it almost every day to pick out my lipstick shade and it's SO helpful to have. Also helped me realize I have about 6 lipsticks that are almost the identical color ...I need to lay off light pinks haha!
I have never commented on "ANY" UA-cam video I have viewed. But I want you to know I LOVE YOUR organization ideas, tips and creativity. You are awesome!
You are brilliant! I am so thankful that you make these videos because I refer back to them over and over You have movie star good looks and should be on a major network. You will be discovered. Love the end of each video too, because my husband can relate
OMG, the best video ever! I am such a clutter bug and I am going to the store right now. They are so easy, even I can do them thanks. Cute idea dude stuff:)
Hello, fellow lefty! I've found the easiest way to handle the left-hander's smudge situation is to write your description first, then smudge your lipstick afterward (I realize it's too late for you now, but maybe if you re-make your smudge book, it's something to keep in mind). You could also put the smudge on the right-hand margin instead of the left. I often find that it is super helpful to do things "backwards" (inspired by Leonardo DaVinci) to be a lefty in a right-handed world.
Definitely I love these video, my favorite DIY is the first one, the storage for makeup brushes!! And my second favorite is the "hair, body and nails cart" that's one of my favorite solutions 💜 hope more videos lime these xoxo -Valeria 🙋🏼
Hey! So recently I've been buying way more makeup products,brushes.etc and I think all these ideas were good and it'll help me get everything beat and organized.thank you!
Hahaha he does have a point! Lol And that would be helpful. I have my hubby & 2 sons that need organized! I love the ideas you shared today & look forward to the series! P.S. What is your nail color in this video. Very pretty & neutral.
Karri Case Yea his stuff was actually more disorganized than mine- he needed a little help too! As for my nails I get shellac now (bc I film videos and my chipping nail polish was a constant struggle). I'm not sure the color name I will ask next time I go in :)
for the swatch book, why don't you just write the color name and brand before swatching? makes more sense for a lefty, so you have less chance of rubbing it off. or put the color on the right hand side of the page.....
This video was amazing! Very simple yet ingenious ideas! I'm moving in with a roommate soon who is a very clean/tidy person and this video is perfect for me to get all of my things organized! Thanks for sharing!
Love love your idea with the cake pans , brilliant !!! All you seem to find is wooden or glass , love the idea of the metal !!! And the simplicity of the decor , amazing !!! Thank you , very original :)
Btw this video and your dos video from last year made me a subscriber a few months ago :) I just did your swatch book! I also used my empty Birchboxes to create storage! My dresser is so clean now! I feel so calm
I believe this is the first video I actually watched of yours and this is the one I absolutely fell in love with you! Keep doing what your doing! Your such an inspiration!
I love that unlike some gurus you put care into your DIYs and make sure they look precise and pretty and well done! I especially loved the first DIY! You have definitely earned a subscriber! Thank you for a great video!
This is probably the best DIY makeup storage videos I've ever watched! Such cute ideas!!! I really love the makeup brush boxes - gonna have to try that asap! Thanks!
I'm so happy I found your channel! Your DIY makeup storage is brilliant. I have the same storage problems, if I see my palettes I'll use them and constantly knocking over the foundations and primers. OMG I have the same plastic containers and yes they are too bulky and not easily accessible. Thank you!
Also the makeup catalog is amazing . Idk how many times i have bought the same shade and brand at the drugstore. Its nice so i can see the colors but i love it because i can see what i already own.
love ur videos. I use your storage ideas just not in the same rooms. back story: my skin went crazy so little old lady me goes to dermatologist for first time in my life. She examed my skin and asked "where do you store and/or put on your make-up?" uhhhh "in bathroom" she stopped her exam and gave me very gross info that made me go home and move everything out of bathroom but cleaning supplies and towel closet items. so, back to all ur organization tips. anything that couldn't be washed was remade and planned with ur vids. Reorganized my bedroom, and, although not quite finished yet, you literally saved me so much money for things I could easily remake or organize using your ideas and I swear iit is looking fab..... cause of you. A cute washable basket is filled w bath products to take when I shower, etc, and comes back out when through. My skin has already cleared up. No clutter on vanity. I have a library of your tips, tricks, organizations and no more skin issues. thanks for sharing. Washed all brushes, containers, and made a swatch book for lip sticks, glosses, foundations and nail polishes. Took longer to dry and I used a 3 ring binder with sectioned off areas and painted the cover with acrylics. thank you.
I enjoyed your organization!! I like to use mason jars and old silver creamers from thrift stores. polish them up and they make your beauty tools look very pretty. I love the mirror idea... my next thrift store hunt! Thanks!

great idea...lots of work though haha

SingDea cool idea- that's definitely taking it to the next level!
Marguerite Moreau yes, you could do this, but the colors would be muted. Also, the purpose of doing what I suggested is for anyone who may feel they'd be wasting lipstick, especially the costly brands.
SingDea or you could use a lip brush to transfer the lipstick on paper.
The fact that Ryan is as supportive as he is and is part of her videos is awesome! These were great DIYs..thank you for sharing!
Angie Huerta I know -and poor guy I always ask him to film after a long day of work when he's super tired too. What a trooper :)
Indeed! That's is love right there! =D #happysunday
👍
My daughter is 13 years old and we watched you every day this week during Spring break. Right away she worked on her room, we went to the Dollar Star. What a great lady you are! Funny, inspiring, so cute with your husband, beautiful on the inside and out. Great role model for a mom and a girl learning how to make it growing up!
that homemade lazy Susan idea is pure genius!
I was thinking that!
+Tifani Powers yessssss
Its actually home organizing by Alejandra but she didn't give her credit for that!!
i know ...other ideas too, she says "I had this Idea..." lol I'm like ...pintrest?
Tifani Powers I
Lol the end with your husband was adorable by the way
I would have NEVER thought of the diy lazy susan...VERY smart!!!
The dirty brush container is gonna be a game changer for me! My “solution” has been to lay dirty brushes down on a tissue on my vanity 😐 Thank you! Btw if you don’t have a pastel-specific sketchbook, you can use a regular one & when done swatching your lipstick, use a light coating of hairspray to set it!
Cute idea for a lazy Susan. A candle in the center would be pretty!
This is actually the best diy organization video I've ever seen and I am going to do everything you said!!
I wanted to like this video a million times. Subscribed! 😊 😍
You genius of a woman! I've been trying to do the whole lazy Susan thing for a year but I can't find them in store or online for a decent price. I am sending you the biggest high five and hug !!!

Loved this video, so creative! You always have the best ideas. Ryan is always entertaining as well!
BlinkFly thank you! I spend a lot of time thinking of ideas (it's what I think about in the shower haha), so that means a lot!!
Omg I was trying to look back and figure out when I found you….and I found this little gem instead. In your apartment!!! Making crafts! So cute!! And Ryan making a little appearance at the end. And seriously, you haven’t changed one little bit!! 😮 That really speaks to skin care working. 8 years is a long time. And two pregnancies and a wedding and buying and decorating a house. Anyway, it was later than this, just had to watch for fun. When I found you Carter was a baby. Now I have to watch more of your realllllly old videos. You’re adorable!
Definitely doing some of these once I've finished my vision board!
U deserve so many more subscribers than u have, u will definitely be a huge beauty guru in a few years

I wish it was possible to subscribe twice...or three times...
Great diy for cosmetics! I'm definitely doing some of these, my makeup counter is a total disaster! Thanks for your great ideas!

Lefties Enemy: Spiral Notebook :-X
what i mean is if ur left handed you will have struggle to write in spiral notebook :D i just found it on yt
+Trinity people who write with their left hands are lefties. So spiral notebooks suck cuz your hand always runs on the metal spiral.
as A lefty, I feel you. I start from the back of note book. Recently the mr. gave a lefty pen he purchased form amazon. love the videos
This video was amazing! Very simple yet ingenious ideas! I'm moving in with a roommate soon who is a very clean/tidy person and this video is perfect for me to get all of my things organized! Thanks for sharing!

That lazy susan idea deserves an award! Thanks for the inspiration!

This was INCREDIBLE! I love, LOVE your ideas and how accessible the materials are. Will be starting on these..thanks so much!
I enjoyed your organization!! I like to use mason jars and old silver creamers from thrift stores. polish them up and they make your beauty tools look very pretty. I love the mirror idea... my next thrift store hunt! Thanks!
I loved the lazy Susan idea! Will do! And the dudes stuff is priceless! He was so happy! Good video
Loved the idea of using energy bar boxes for makeup storage.
January is one of my favorite months because it's the start of the new year and I was born exactly 3 weeks into it!
I love all the time and energy you put into your videos! These are some great tips, thank you for sharing. ♡
I loved the "sample" notebook thing!! 😍😍😍😍😍😍
Brilliant DIY for the eyeshadow palettes & brushes! Love it!!
