Perfume Organization/storage (sprays + roll-ons)

Here's how I have my perfume organized. Most of it is organized close to my jewelry, so you'll get a peak into how I organize some of my jewelry too.

This is where all the yummy smelly stuff is. The mirror on the wall has 3 shelves where I keep my spray perfumes. There is a silver perfume tray on the left of the dresser that has more "regular" perfumes you can buy just about anywhere. To the right of the chest is my lotions and deodorants that I use daily. All my other scented lotions are in my bathroom. The chest is where I store my roll-ons and most of my jewelry. To the right on the wall, I use an old neck-tie hanger for my longer necklaces so they don't get tangled. The chest was a Christmas gift from my husband. It's a tool chest for storing old antique tools. :-)

Most of these are Cleanse Your Soul, Isle of Eden and Skindescent.

Chest needs to be stained to match the rest of my dark furniture!

The hubby helped make the little dividers to keep the perfume from falling over (was like a domino effect without it!). I made labels for some of the roll-ons so I could read them without having to take them out to see what they are.

Jewelry in the rest of the drawers

Most of these are "regular" brand perfume, most of which were gifts. They are quite dusty as I don't use most of these very often.

So there you go. This is how my perfume and some of my jewelry is organized. :-)

Nails/NOTD: Zoya - Edyta

This is my first time trying Zoya. It's very opaque and fairly easy to work with. I really love this colour too. It's like a grey with olive green sparkle.

Rainbow Glitter Party Makeup look!

So the rainbow isn't that this really looks like a rainbow, but more that this glitter has every colour of the rainbow. It's insanely sparkly! Something in this glitter stained my lids (light pink dots on my lids when I washed this off)...makes me wonder if the glitter is even eye safe. Never had a glitter stain my lids before!

I wore this look out with some friends to a club. Was a lot of fun. Will post pictures from the night soon!

I made zee necklace. :-)
