How to Organize your Jewelry

I have been doing a lot of organizing lately and my jewelry stash was not to be left out. Time after time I buy new items only to discover when I got home that I have something similar or in the same colour all because I didn’t realized what I had already. My jewelry items were all over the place and hidden away in boxes. I had gotten this little lady as a Christmas present so she assisted me with the main users in my stash. She holds earrings and short chains. These I have noticed a lot lately in the malls.

Milani Luminous Blush versus Luminoso Baked Blush

I really discovered the brand Milani last year. They came out with some wonderful products. Let’s not talk about their Liquif’eye metallic eyeliners . It’s to die for kind of makeup. Now I had the so called dupe for the cult favourite Nars Orgasm; Milani’s Luminous powder blush and couldn’t resist getting the new baked blush in Luminoso to compare.
