Organized? Not a word I’m normally familiar with, but my bad habit of clutter has deemed me to a few helpful tips.

When I think of my make-up bag, I try to only keep the things I know I use on a daily basis. I am normally in a rush in the mornings and I don’t need the aggravation of shuffling through a dozen 3 month old mascaras that I have been ignoring. I try to go through my bag weekly, if I can’t remember the last time I wore it, or it’s past its due date, pitch it!

I also try to keep in mind, just because I don’t want to wear it every day doesn’t mean that I never want to wear it again. I keep the things I know I might wear sometimes, like my red hot lipstick, in a separate bag. When I know I am going out for the night, I look in the separate bag and carry it along in case I need to reapply throughout the night.

The most important reason for going through your makeup periodically is a safety precaution. After a certain amount of time mascara can harbor harmful bacteria that could lead to eye infections.

I hope you can benefit from these helpful hints!
