Staying Organized

How do you all store your makeup? I used to have a nifty set up of small drawered containers that I set up on a folding shelf, but just don't have the room for it since I moved out of my loft (tears) Any suggestions? Now I have random beauty supplies all over and in diffrent bags, baskets and containers. I need to get organized and STAT! Especially if I keep adding to my collection.

I think it is also time to go through my stuff and throw out anything that is old.
The shelf life of makeup depends on the product, but here are some good rules to live by:

Powders: 2 years
Creams: 1 year
Mascara: 3 months
Eyeliner: 3 months
Nail Polish: I year
Lip Gloss: 18 months
Lipstick: 2 years

If you can't remember when you bought it or the last time you used it--THROW IT OUT!
And obviously if it smells funky or the texture has changed--THROW IT OUT!

Summer Lips

Here is what I am currently loving for kissable summer lips:
Fresh Sugar Rose Lip Treatment
Just a hint of color and shine. One swipe and you've got healthy looking lips. Expensive, but a real treat. Sephora.com $22.50

Laura Geller Lip StripPut a dab on dry lips at night and scrub, scrub, scrub. Has a fresh and minty taste/feel and will leave your lips soft.
