Organize Bobby Pins

Organization is very important to me because I feel it boosts efficiency and makes day-to-day living just that much easier. Pinterest is a great place to browse for great tips & tricks for optimal organization. I recently tried out this great tip for storing bobby pins.  I know I am not the only one who has bobby pins scattered here and there! Okay, no need for me to ramble any further as the photos below are pretty self explanatory.

I don�t have much in this drawer, but it already looks messy:

After organizing (ah, much better):

I used a magnetic strip with an adhesive back (sold as a roll at Staples), but you can use any magnet and adhere it to a side of your drawer. You know those magnets that realtors and advertisers send? Re-use them! : )

Voil�, there we have it:

Happy Organizing!

PF Shimmer Strips Swatches (Smoky Hazel Eyes)

The lovely Jenny sent me this Physician's Formula Smoky Hazel Eyes Shimmer Strip palette in one my my love packges (Thanks, Jenny!). So I thought I'd share the swatches with you all.  She noted that this was her favorite neutral eyeshadow palette prior to the UD Naked palettes � and so far I�m loving the shadows/colors in this palette, too! 


The 9 colors included in this palette range from dark to light � making it a very versatile palette where you can easily create both day and night looks with just this one palette.  Moreover, the packaging is very compact � making it great for traveling.

Here are the swatches -- they're all nicely pigmented and beautiful neutral shades! They also apply smoothly and fall out was minimal for me. Creasing is minimal when used on top of an eye primer (I use Too Faced Shadow Insurance)

The only con of this palette is that there are no matte shadows. The darkest color (on the furthest right) is almost matte � so it can be used to set your eyeliner � but all other colors are shimmer shadows.

Overall, the PF shimmer strip for smoky hazel eyes is an amazing palette that I would definitely recommend to others. Plus, it�s a drugstore product, so super affordable!
