My makeup jar

I love makeup, I never wore it in High School because I went to an all girls school and went to school looking like a slob everyday.  No joke, on an out of uniform day my psychology teacher told me I looked like  hobo -I took it as a compliment.  I was sure that when I started college I would start caring about my appearance.  I was wrong, I am so comfortable in my own skin that I still don't care what I look like when I go to school.  I find that I prefer sleeping an extra 15 minuets rather than getting out of bed and do my makeup.  I still love makeup its just that most times I don't wear it out of pure laziness.

So on the days that I do decide to wear makeup I find that I don't want to waste time seeking through products.  I want everything laid out and to be easily accessible.  I originally wanted an acrylic makeup organizer to lay on my dresser.  I thought this would make it easy for me to grab my makeup.  However I have been busy and have not made a trip to the store to pick one up.  Then I had an idea "I wonder if I could fit everything that I need in a Bath and Body Works candle jar?"

What I need:

1. blush
2. powder
3. concealer
4. eyeshadow - Naked Basics palette  
5. mascara -2 mascaras
6. eyeshadow primer
7. eyeliner (black and brown) -4 eyeliners
8. eyebrow pencil
9. some sort of foundation/cc/bb cream
10. brushes to apply makeup
11. eyelash curler
12. face moisturizer 

Turns out it ALL fit (except the moisturizer, but technically that isn't makeup).

All of my products plus makeup tools- I still can't believe it!  I love how everything fits so compactly, the jar takes up almost no space and it is easy for me to see everything inside of it.  I decided that I do not want to buy the acrylic organizer because it is easier to have less, and I highly believe that less is more.  I do have more makeup than what fits in the jar, but what I really need is in the jar.  There are somedays that I do not even use everything in the jar.  Putting makeup on in the mornings is much easier now that I do not have to search through everything that I have.  

I also am more inclined to wear makeup if it is already lying out in plain sight.  Before I didn't want to wear makeup because I had to take the time to take out all of my makeup and brushes from my drawer, and I didn't even need all of it.  

I'll soon put up a post about my go-to products and why I love them.
