How I Organize and Set Up My Makeup

What Simple Beauty Minerals products am I using right now. 

I am not a makeup maven. Not a makeup junkie.

A collector of makeup fads, I am not.

That said...

By definition, I am a makeup maven.

Wikipedia defines a maven as 

"a trusted expert in a particular field, who seeks to pass knowledge on to others...".

So, in that sense, yes I am a healthy beauty makeup maven. 

But when I think of the image the term "makeup maven" conjures up, I think of one who has to try every single new cosmetic fad that comes along. 

One who spends all her discretionary income on the latest and proposed greatest new gimmick.

I don't have that urge.  Fads need to prove themselves to me.

Then, and only then, am I loyal to them.

(Yes, I always share them with you.)

Like mineral makeup. Proven. Done. It's got me. 

However, I do LOVE makeup. 

In a sensible, orderly kind of way. 

You know what I mean? One blush at a time. Only a couple of lipsticks in my drawer, and one in my purse, (OKAY, there is also a gloss and balm in my purse, ya know, I gotta have all my bases covered). I simply don't have tons of pots and jars in my makeup drawer.  

I need to be organized! 

Now, don't get me wrong.

I am always trying out new colors & products to offer up to you, my customers.

These lovelies have a special place all of their own on the counter. Oh boy, I only wish you could come over and play with me!

Here is what I currently have on my makeup vanity:
