Makeup Organization
This morning I reorganized my makeup (which was previously scattered all over my bedroom dresser) in one of my dresser drawers. I used berry baskets, tea cups and small bowls to break up the space inside the drawer and then added all my makeup! I'm really happy with how it turned out.

I swatched one coat of each LuxeEffects over a neutral nude polish to showcase the difference between each topper. Sand Tropez (not included in the collection) is a beautiful khaki tan creme polish from Essie’s Spring 2011 A French Affair collection.
I used less oil and honey than described. There was a thick layer of honey just sitting on top of the sugar when I let it sit in the jar so mixing in more sugar will prevent that from happening. by mightyhedgehog Oct 14
