eDiva Acrylic Makeup Organizer

Makeup hoarder like I am? Need to organize your products a little more better! I was so excited to get to review one for you guys so check out the Duchess acrylic Makeup Organizer by eDiva

Consistenty of 5 drawers the Duchess will give you around 1,200 cubic inch of space in each drawer to fit all your beauty products inside! Best of all its clear so you can see whats in each drawer all around! The exact dimension of this organizer is 10" wide by 12" height

Another nice thing about the Duchess Organizer is its very sturdy

Want to see how I organized my Duchess Makeup Organizer?

I wanted to show you how you could store a variety of beauty products from nails, face, eyes, and lips!

To give you a better idea I will go through each drawer to give you ideas on how you could best utilize your space!

I know a big question people were asking me is can I store my nail polish in it? For the duchess you can but unfortunately you have to do them flat as they are not deep enough to store standing up. But I might add that the other organizer offered by eDiva, the Princess includes a 4" deep bottom drawer for nail polish. Here I placed some Hard Candy, theBalm, Illamasqua and CND polishes! Not bad at all but if you want them standing up I suggest the other one and you could probably fit way more in that drawer than having them lying down like mine.

Included with your order is free bonus X dividers to seperate products within each drawer.

This came in handy with some of my face products where I seperated concealers and different types of foundation by either brand or types. Now if you want to utilize the whole drawer you can certainly just put them all together but I liked the idea of seperating them!

Have a bunch of palettes? No problem I was able to stack 2-3 palettes depending on the height of each. I put two Urban Decay palettes which are a little more bulkier on one side while I was able to stack 2 theBalm palettes and the Make Up For Ever Flash Palette. Finally at the back I put both of my Naked Basics and Flushed palette and could have def stacked another one on top!

What about blushes? As I have blushes of different brands and shapes I utilized the X dividers as well. You can easily fit stick blushes like Benefits Fine One-One as well as circle blushes like Tarte's Amazonian Clay and Urban Decay or NYC ones.

Are you a lippy fanatic like me? I actually never was one until Jess at Love for Lacquer kept teasing me with lippies that I had to give them a try and now I am def a lippy hoarder! What is nice is that you can stack lipsticks lying down and still have room to put another one on top. You can def fit alot of lippies in a single drawer!

**disclaimer-this product was provided to review for my 100% honest opinon**

Overall, I love my Duchess Makeup Organizer from eDiva. It makes my makeup look nice and saves me time when I am on the hunt for that one blush and/or lippy. As a student, I know that it is quite expensive for this organizer ($198) but if you can afford it go for it! eDiva also has pay plans of 3 montly payments of $66 and you get free shipping on all purchases!

Zoya PixieDust Collection

I am so excited to do my very first Zoya review! How exciting to show you the all new PixieDust collection! These polishes leave nails with a matte, textured and most importantly sparkling look!

You simply apply this polish on with no base or top coat. I know what your thinking are you crazy? Trust me I thought the same thing!

There are 6 polishes total in this collection! Let's check them out now....

The first three polishes are the green-blue ones: Vespa, London and Nyx. All swatches were done as instructed with 3 coats to receive full coverage

Vespa is a light mint green color. Honestly they look even cooler in person! I usually only wear regular nail polish so this def opened my eyes to trying diff types of nail polish. This one was one of my favorite colors bc it looks so well with my skin tone!

London is a charcoal grey nail polish. Kind of reminds me a tire color.

Nyx is a blue color. Kind of reminds me of a darker cinderella color. Really sparkly and pretty

The last three polishes are Dahlia, Chyna, and Godiva

Dahlia is a black polish that kind of reminds me of the road color!

Chyna def reminds me of Dorothy of the Wizard of Oz ruby slippers or a pomegranate. Or even a ruby lol so many things! It just pops out the most out of all the color!

Godiva is nice beige color that is another one of my favorite colors! Looks really well with brown skin tone as well!

Overall, I was really impressed with both the matte and textured look these polishes gave! Even without a base or top coat they still look pretty good on! If I had to pick three of my favorite of this collection they would be Godiva, Chyna and Vespa for sure!! 

What are your favorite colors of the PixieDust Collection

Flash Color Palette

Remember when I took part in the Make Up For Ever Bag remix event? Well I got a few Make Up For Ever products to try out! One of these products was something I heard a lot about, the Flash Color Palette!

Consisting of 12 different colors, these palette contains creamy extremely highly pigmented colors. I swatched each color for you! You can either get a flat makeup brush or apply colors directly with your fingertips.



The first 6 colors on the left hand side of the palette. Brown, light green and royal blue followed by black, tellow and pink

Instead of using my fingertips I used a flat brush to swatch colors. As you can see the colors are super pigmented.

Here is the black, yellow and pink colors! I usually don't like yellow but its nice!

On the right hand side is red, white, silver, light blue-green, peach and gold

The red is super rich and would make an amazing lip color, the white would make a nice base for all the colors. silver would make a nice color for the base

The light blue-green and peach color are amazing spring colors! The silver also would be nice around the eyelid.

So what can you do with this palette you ask?

Well you could apply colors directly to the eye to creat a look. But honestly it was hard to creat a uniform look so I don't recommend that

Instead use the colors as a base will allow each color to really pop. Here I used #75, yellow 2, #92 and #18 on top of the creamy colors in the Flash Palette. Def makes a difference huh?

So what other things can you do with this palette? Well you can create lip gloss looks and blush looks with it. To create my look I used the peach and gold color and mixed them!

Blend until you get the consistency you want! Then you can either use it as a blush or in this case a lip gloss.

I simply brushed the mixed peachy-gold glitter color on my lips to give me shimmer and color.

Then I took a clear lip gloss and tada! Homemade lip gloss! Pretty neat huh?

Overall, this palette is amazing! Not only can you make some sweet looks with it but you can use it for more than one thing! Can't wait to play around with it more to create even more cool looks with it!

Price- $99
