What's inside the Mother of all Makeup Cases!

I recently bought a huge makeup case from Yazmo.com.
The previous post has all the details of the case.

Here's what I filled the case with.

The smaller of the two pieces hold some blushes and some eyeshadows what are not in palettes, in the two sliding trays.
Under that, in the deeper compartment, holds a lot of my palettes, including eyeshadows, blushes, concealers and powders.
It also has my clear and pink Sephora bag, which has various moisturizers, setting sprays, etc.
I also keep the foundations for my airbrush makeup machine in a small bright pink bag.

The second piece, that bigger one with wheels, holds some of my brushes. It also has a deeper compartment which holds:
Makeup remover wipes, makeup brush belt, Kleenex, and my airbrush makeup machine.

There are 8 smaller drawers that hold:
1) primers (face& eyes)
2) mascara wands, eyelash glue, scissors
3) flash lashes, -individual and strips
4) foundations and concealers
5) powders and highlighters
6) eyeliners
7) lipgloss and lip liners
8) lipsticks

The sides of the bigger case also have mesh zip pockets. I have my makeup face charts in there with some business cards. :)

I love using this case, it has really helped me organize my beauty products!

December Loose Button Luxe Box

I got my first Luxe Box today! I've been super excited to receive it! It's basically a box filled with 4-5 deluxe samples, sometimes even full sized products!!

I joined the subscription on www.loosebutton.com. It's available in Canada only. It costs $12 per month and shipping is free.

I love the packaging. It comes in a sleek black box and the tissue inside is held together by a silver sticker that says my name on it! How cute is that?! Since I live in Ottawa I got my box rather speedy, the head office is in Toronto. I really liked that they sent me an email over the weekend to tell me my Luxe Box would be shipped this week. There was also a tracking number that I could use.

Here's what was inside my Luxe Box:

1) Two fragrance samples from Nina Ricci. The first one is L'Air du Temps and Nina. The second is L'Elixir. Both are spritzers, which I do prefer. Full sizes retail $72 & $65.

2) China Glaze X-Mas Nail Polish (Full Sized!) in Champagne bubbles. This would look great with a glitter polish over it. I love that I got a full sized product! Retail $8.

3) DDF Advanced Firming Cream. Promotes rapid surface cell turnover to help reverse the appearance of aging. This sample is worth $41!! The full size retails for $130/48g.

4) Kerastase Elixer Ultime. Promises shine, nourishment, and deep conditioning. The full size retails for $50.

I also got a chocolate dollar made of Belgium Chocolate. It has a cute Loose Button logo on it!

The box also comes with a detailed card describing all the products inside.

I am so excited to get my January luxe Box! Hope it's as good as this one!
