VUESET Pro Palettes and Cases

Hello my gorgeous readers. Today I bring to you an awesome review on the awesome palettes from  VueSet. The lovely Brenda contacted me some time ago about these awesome palettes and if you all know me by now, anything that is going to help keep my makeup stash organized clean and neat I am all over it. Not to  mention I have been building my makeup artist kit and we all know how organization is everything in our kits.

 So let me fill you in on all the awesomeness of these palettes. There are 6 palettes to choose from and each and every one of them give you the versatility you will need to to have everything on the go, safe and secure in either your makeup bag or makeup kit.

As you can see they are completely clear and sturdy so you can see everything. They are made of quality grade acrylic and best part is that they are stackable as well!

Overall Opinion:

 These are absolutely essential for all of my Type- A Personalities and Obsessive Compulsive neat freaks. My only complaint is how hard some of the smaller compacts are to open. Otherwise as you can see I have my work cut out for me in terms of filling them . I am still trying to decide which cream foundations I want to put in these to be honest which is why mine are empty at the present moment . 




Also these fit very well in any size Zuca bag for those of you using them for your makeup kits. Here I layer them out in the small and medium sized bags and as you can see fit safe and secure and neatly. I don't have to be concerned with product fall out or items breaking in them because well I pack my things a certain way to avoid that (will cover in another post) but they close very well and don't pop open. 
Recently when I went to the Makeup Show NY I found some of these in one of the booths! I was so excited to see these palettes there for all in the industry to use!
I hope you enjoyed this post and look forward to hearing what you guys think of these awesome palettes. Please head over to Vueset and get your kits in order ! These are great gifts and stocking stuffers (6 months away !) These are great for anyone in the beauty industry or just for travel as well for that person in your life whose makeup bag is a disaster. These will keep it all in one place, aren't cumbersome and travel friendly.
Come Say Hello!!!

Sherrieblossom ICEbOx

Hello my gorgeous readers. Today I decided to share with you all a little project I worked on today. As makeup junkies we sometimes have a bit of a hard time organizing our beauty products and being able to use them all. In my case if it is out of sight it is most definitely out of mind. I am guilty of always reaching for the same products if they aren't easily accessible or stashed behind or on top of one another. 

 I was given the opportunity to share with you all an awesome makeup organizer that is an absolute must for makeup artist or anyone looking to find a better way to access and organize their beauty products. 

  The Sherrie Blossom Ice Box is a gorgeous acrylic makeup organizer that is an absolute must have for anyone that lacks organization and want a clean crisp look to their diva space.





There was so much detail  put into the craftsmanship of this organizer. The handles are one of the features that I was impressed with. The way they were made it is so that you can see completely through the drawer and gain access to everything inside.From the hinges to the seams this makeup organizer is simply perfect. It isn't only important that it looks great, but that it is also functional, stable and worth the investment.

 Ok so on a daily basis being as I like every other person am working and always on the go, my makeup station and area can get a bit messy and I lack space period in my little area. I tend to keep reaching for the same items not showing others love because  well either I cant see them my vanity is cluttered etc etc.

I am very much a neat freak but this weekend I was away so didnt have the chance to put some items away but as you can see there on the right I have my little tubs filled with products blocking my muji drawers and is annoying having to move them to get into them all of the time.

 Now some of you may remember my post some time last year about my muji drawers. Check out that post here if you haven't had the chance. Now I will say the Muji drawers a good alternative for the price and are functional . However I have a love hate relationship with them. I like that they are affordable, but dislike the face that you are limited to the size of products you can put in them hence the reason why you may need multiple sets of them like I did. 

 In my set up I have 2 5 drawer Muji's and 4 3 drawer mujis setting me back about $150 give or take without shipping. I know they are super popular and for a while was hard to even get your hands on them . I love the larger boxes and yes even though they may set you back a little more financially, you are getting quality, and more space and no need to get a bunch of other organizers to get your items to fit. 
First let me tell you that delivery was smooth and tracking was a breeze. The Shorty Wide organizer I received came inside of a huge box and inside of that was the organizer in another box. The amount of bubble wrap and protection this little guy had was amazing and was so greatful for the fact that it was well protected during shipping.

This is the Shorty Wide Ice Box by Sherrie Blossom 



Mama.. I'm Home!!!!  I love it!




You can see here that the top lifts and has an "X" Insert on the top.


One of the drawers with inserts for smaller products and easier to customize to suit your needs.


This is the Novus Starter Kit to keep your Sherrie Blossom Ice Box free of any scratches, dirt, and dullness. It is important to not use a household cleaner like Windex for this particular organizer as it may  dull or ruin the acrylic. Also keep away from direct sunlight to keep its lustre.

 Ok so here is my 2 5 drawer sets of muji filled to the max with lip products.


Here are the 4 3 drawer Mujis that also had lip items and some face products that I just could not access. So that is a total of 12 drawers I was able to empty and still have space to add other items to my new Sherrie Blossom Ice Box



Ok without further a due....

Here is my Shorty Wide Ice Box all filled! Isnt she gorgeous! You can see right through the handles and see everything all in one place!

My 1st Drawers I used a few of the customizeable inserts to put some of my squeeze tube lippies and my Maybelline Color tattoos and L'oreal Infallible shadows. I love how I can see everything and the amount of space I have.


2nd Drawer has all the lip items that were in my 3 drawer mujis along with some lip liners etc. I still have space to add to it but again I like to not stack more than 2 items on top of one another because I will not see and forget the product. 


3rd drawer holds my cheek products and some highlighters.

4th Drawer a few more blushes and face products along with my NYX Jumbo Eye Pencils , liners etc.

My Vanity Clear of Clutter and can access everything I need. Still need to tweak a few things here and there but as OCD as I am I have to say I am pretty happy with the turnout. 

 Head on over to Sherrieblossom.com and check out the different varieties in organizers to suit your needs.

Updated Makeup/Nail Area and extras

Hello my gorgeous readers. I have been a bit of a mad woman lately and well mostly because so many amazing doors have been opening for me in the bloggersphere! That being said I have been quite the busy bee behind the scenes her and figured let me update you all on a few projects going on .


For starters I tend to get kinda bored and tired of my apartment. So from time to time I like to rearrange my little spaces and make it a little more fun and girly. Yes I always keep my husband in mind of course too, however being that we are limited to certain spaces in our place I have to make due with the space I have. Due to recent projects I am finding the need for ample working space and am having a hard time here. Moving is not an option at the moment so I am making it work for me instead of against me.


I recently took apart my entire nail area and re did my makeup space as well. I knew these were gonna be one heck of a project but a much needed revamping was in order.


You can see Here what my makeup space look liked a little while back. Not too bad but I am very limited to space in our bedroom .


 As you can see here quite a difference from my last set up. I picked up some snazzy decor from one of my favorite stores Target. I loved the wording and they are self adhesive so you can move them around as needed without damaging the wall. The lettering, the zebra mirror circles, and the other round mirrors etc were all from Target for $20 each pack.



One of my sets of Muji drawers. I like it this way better so that I can actually reach all of my lipsticks better and see them all and use them more frequently.


I get asked all of the time where I bought my brush holders. I made them myself with magazines and vase filler etc. I did a pictorial here a while back so go and check it out if you want to make your very own. Yes I actually do use all of these brushes and only keep the ones I use in them !


My other set of Muji drawers with more lippies and blushes etc.


I picked up this little organizer from Michaels recently because they had all their craft storage for 50 % off and with all the projects I have going I needed some more space. I had only wished it was in black but not a big deal for me and was small enough to slide under my vanity table.


I sit this little organizer from target right on top and has some of my primers, eyeliners, and other odds and ends I use frequently in them .


This actually wasnt so bad to put together and love the dividers and the shelf.



On the other side of my vanity is a small table I bought at walmart for $12 . I put an organizer I wasnt using and filled it with items that are for upcoming reviews/posts etc so that I can keep myself on schedule etc. 


I didnt go into elaborate details of my whole collection but its an idea I am playing around with in the future.



Ok so I needed to change my nail station a bit as well. I had a desk my husband had passed along to me and was a bit big and took up some space in my dining room. I had actually contemplated taking down my nail area, simply because I just didnt like that when company came over it was out in the open and well lets just be real some pass judgement , or think Im nuts. I then decided it you know what this is MY house. I dont want to hide my things or change my  work area around to please others I sure wouldnt expect them to.

So we cam up with a plan that we needed something that in the event we needed to move it to accomodate guests , that was easier than the bulky desk I had. I went to IKEA and I had already done my research on the Helmers from other beauty blogger and nail bloggers. These ran me $40 each and used a cutting board I had in storage as my table.





My racks fit perfectly over them and a little lower than before but thats ok and I like it better. 







Yes these did have to be put together. If there is anything I despise about Ikea is that need to put everything together. But is one of the reasons their items are so affordable.

Rumor has it that these Helmers hold anywhere up to 400-500 Polishes each! There are also alternatives to the Helmers called Melmers aka Michaels version of the Helmer . Just google it and you will see what I mean!






I still need to organize these drawers some because I havent had the chance to so I just placed all of my polishes in random drawers for now.


A sterilite container in between my 2 helmers for other crafts.




Hello Kitty Binder Holds all my Stamping plates.





So all the pics are pretty self explanatory. It has been fun creating my new spaces.


Some other projects I am working on:


** Latina Lifestyle Blogger Johnson & Johnson Campaign**


** Pretty Addictions looks and posts**


** Ambassador for Bloom.com . Be sure to check us out its like Facebook but for Beauty and its just an awesome site!**


** Contributor for This That Beauty. I get to work with the awesome Felicia Walker Benson Chief Editor for Bergdorf Goodmann. Updating you all on everything beauty and dental related.**


As you can see I am hard at work for all of my fellow beauty lovers! I am truly enjoying all of these projects and looking forward to even more doors that may soon open for me. 



“Find something you love to do and you'll never have to work a day in your life”




I believe I have and I am blessed. To some may seem nonsense and I get asked quite often why I do it. I do it because I love it and it is my hobby and passion. Judge me if you will but I am happy and all that matters to me in the end! 


Love and Lip Gloss to you all and thank you for all of the support you all show me !
