Organization of cosmetics

Do-it-yourself cabinet and drawers for cosmetics

In this video tutorial, you will learn how to make a makeup cabinet with your own hands. All you need is cardboard, frame, wrapping or colored paper, glue, paint and your patience and desire. Let's not forget fantasy. The most difficult part is the frame of 4 shelves. You can find it in the store, or you can make it yourself or ask your young man, brother or father. Here's how lucky anyone is. From a very light stencil with a playful finger cavity, we make compartments for your cosmetic safe. Next, we glue your box and frame with wrapping paper to your taste and discretion. So it turned out to be a very roomy locker in which all your cosmetics fit.

DIY cosmetic box

And this is just the embodiment of girlish fantasies. Everyone is familiar with jewelry chests? And now the same chest, but only with your own hands. Standard set: cardboard boxes, silicone glue, cloth, wrapping, or you can also a piece of wallpaper, lace, beads and ribbons for decoration.
This chest consists of two sections, but you can stop at one. If you decide to go to the end: take boxes of the same length, but one should be inserted into the other. We glue them with paper or cloth. We glue a mirror on the top cover in order to immediately evaluate the make-up or any other cosmetic product, insert the smaller box inside on special plastic levers to make a multi-tiered chest. But the last stage, the most pleasant, is to decorate your chest with ribbons and lace. The result is very Jane Austen style.

This video will tell and show you how to style an existing jewelry cabinet. Everything is very easy and simple, you only need scissors, tape and wrapping paper. We carry out the necessary measurements, cut out the necessary strips of paper and simply glue your locker. And for an updated locker, you can also update cosmetics - a great reason to buy something new.

Brush holders

Well, now - a stand for cosmetics, or rather for your cosmetic brushes. You will need a transparent container or vase, silicone filler (holofiber), glue, paint, and glitter ribbon for decoration. Put your litter inside the container - this will allow your brushes to stand upright. And now decorate your container as you wish. In this video, the blogger used a leopard pattern, very beautiful. As you can see - very easy and simple!

How to make coasters for cosmetics

And again the stand, only now for your lipsticks, glosses and varnishes. Use a photo frame or a piece of plywood as a base. And then we glue several rows of fabric pockets to it. All this is decorated with lace and beads. Everything is ready - you can lay out your glosses and varnishes. And if you add volume to the pockets, larger cosmetics will fit there.

We hope our little tips will help you organize your cosmetic battlefield. After all, every day begins with the fight against imperfections with the help of cosmetics. Therefore, the correct organization of cosmetics is an important step on the path to success.

General rules for storing cosmetics

Want to guess what's on your bathroom shelf? At least cream, serum, washing gel, micellar water, tonic, enzyme peeling tube. And in the cosmetic bag are lipstick (three), mascara (two), foundation and BB cream, as well as blush, primer, highlighter ... Pot, do not cook!

In general, there are a lot of cosmetics. And it's good if each remedy is used and ends before the expiration date. It's bad when there are too many jars. In this case, you inevitably postpone something for later, forget about something. And when you remember, the product may already be overdue.

Why is it all? In addition, it's time to figure out: how much cosmetics can be used and how to store it correctly so as not to shorten its service life?

All beauty products have a certain shelf life.

• Until the package is opened, the product retains its qualities and properties for exactly as long as the manufacturer claims.
• After opening, when the tightness of the package is already broken, the shelf life decreases. When reacting with air inside the cream, processes of oxidation and bacteria reproduction, invisible to the eye, begin to occur.

• Manufacturing date. Usually indicate the month and year.
• Expiry date. Be careful here: if the product is valid for less than 30 months, such information is indicated; if more than 30 months, manufacturers are not required to indicate an end date.
• Open jar icon and indicating the number of months, for example, 6M, 12M, 24M. The number means how long the product can be stored after opening - no more than 6, 12 or 24 months, respectively.

As a rule, organic cosmetics have a shelf life of no more than 6 months after you start using them, while other skin care products have a shelf life of 12 to 24 months.

Is it possible to store cosmetics in the bathroom

The most convenient location for the beauty arsenal is the bathroom. There we start the day with washing, there we end with the application of night care.

But convenient doesn't mean it's right. “Living conditions” for cosmetics there are not the most favorable:

• high humidity;
• frequent and sudden changes in temperature.

All this leads to the fact that creams can deteriorate ahead of time. Therefore, we suggest storing only shower gels, scrubs, shampoos and hair conditioners, as well as facial cleansers in the bathroom.

Can you store cosmetics in the refrigerator?

Another common misconception is about the benefits of storing creams in the refrigerator. This is not safe for the integrity of beauty formulas, and therefore for your skin, which will interact with these formulas.

Low temperatures transform the properties of the ingredients:

• solubility;
• structure;
• particle sizes.

After cooling, the textures may delaminate, change color and smell.

Creams with SPF lose their properties most quickly under the influence of cold: crystallization of filters under the influence of low temperatures reduces their effectiveness.

Perhaps the only thing that can be put in the refrigerator for 5-10 minutes before use is eye patches and a sheet mask. If you need to quickly refresh the skin and remove signs of fatigue.

Cream

The best choice for cream jars is the darkest place in the room (cosmetics organizer, box, container or closet with a door).

Nail coatings live 1–1.5 years. Then the varnishes most often delaminate and it is no longer possible to use them.
