Make your life more beautiful: ORGANIZE YOUR MAKEUP with Five tips-BBW Makeup


We are sharing the tips, tricks and all the best there is to know about living your life beautifully. In this edition of the series, Brit Morin of the Beauty Squad rounds up her favorite ways to organize makeup.

There’s nothing that stresses me out more than being in a rush and not being able to find a particular eye shadow or lipstick that I need to complete my look. That’s why I’m always searching for ways to organize my products so that it’s easy to locate what I need. Plus, I want them to look good! These five makeup storage ideas are some of the best ways I've found to keep my beauty stash nice and neat.

THE CUSTOM PALETTE

I’m going to start with one of my favorite solutions. It’s simple to put together, cuts down on the space needed to store your makeup and makes it easier to find what you really need. Just pop your favorite colors out of all your old makeup palettes and glue them inside a new storage case. You can use a pencil case, old CD case or even an Altoids case. Toss it in your purse so that you have all your favorite colors while you’re on the go!


 2,THE MAKEUP KIT
Jouer's name means "to play" in French, and that's exactly what you can do with the brand's products! They’re designed to snap and slide in and out of each case, enabling you to create a customizable makeup kit with no set size.




 3,COUNTERTOP STORAGE
This is a relatively simple idea, but really effective. All you have to do is buy a block of foam used for arranging flowers, then carve out holes to hold your brushes and gussy it up however you wish (I’m loving the studs). It’s perfect for displaying your cosmetics on the counter, and I’m betting it would also work great to organize your makeup inside of a drawer.






 4,THE MAGNETIC MAKEUP BOARD
One of the biggest problems about stashing makeup in a drawer is that you have to shuffle through all your products just to grab the one you want. This quick fix solves that problem and puts your products on display in an aesthetically pleasing way by repurposing an old picture frame. Just get a sheet of metal cut to the size of any old frame and cover it with fabric. Then add small magnets onto all of your beauty essentials for easy, removable hanging.




5, THE PORTABLE ORGANIZER


This is an incredibly portable way to keep your makeup organized. Each of your products comes in a tube that fits into the slots of the cylindrical holder. The product number and color are displayed on top so you can quickly grab the item you need without having to take any of the others out. I’m obsessed with the lid that serves triple-duty as a mirror, powder case and, well, a lid.

Big Beautiful Women Date-meet guys that like plus size women

Voice from Maria:
You all probably already know what a BBW is - Big Beautiful Woman.  That's another name for us larger ladies.  But it generally goes farther than that.  It's a term used by those who are overweight and proud of it, and those men who love them.

There was a time, many years ago, that I had given up on myself and the thought of ever losing any weight.  I just didn't think I was able to do it.  I never had before, I didn't believe I was strong enough.  So, I thought I'd jump on the BBW bandwagon.  I wanted to learn to love myself just as I was, fat and all.  I joined websites, AOL groups, read books about it, whatever I could find.  I even was on a talk show on the subject.

There's nothing wrong with any of that, except some people in this "movement" support weight gain.  I draw the line there because I'm for acceptance of everyone as they are, not if they lose or gain weight, color their hair, wear the right clothes, etc.

I was in my middle twenties then.  I had never had a date or been kissed.  I signed up with some of the BBW dating sites and started talking to men online.  That sure was an education!  These "BBW Lovers" had different size requirements for their women.  I was too small, too big, too short.  One man actually asked me to gain weight for him.  I quickly let him know I wasn't gaining OR losing weight for any man.

After awhile, I came to a realization.  I don't want someone to love me just because I'm big any more than I want someone to only love and accept me if I'm small.  I'd really prefer being loved for me, exactly as I am, no matter what.  Is it really too much to hope for to find a man who will love me for myself, exactly as I am?  What if I get sick and either lose a ton of weight, or gain a ton?  What if I'm in an accident and get scarred?  What about when I start getting wrinkles?  




 Love sees Beauty that the naked eye cannot.  I believe beauty is on the inside.  I believe in true love.  I believe love is forever. 

What do you believe?
