Become a beauty pro with these 4 genius storage ideas

It’s the summer of Pinterest, and Pinterest has definitely been taking over our lives here at the GL beauty closet. We’ve been newly inspired (after a few well-spent hours of browsing) to take our fave beauty goodies lying around bathroom counters (or in shoeboxes) and finally tidy up using these ingenious organization ideas. Take a peek!
 
Storage solution #1: Place a magnetic strip under a table (or some other secret place) so you can hold onto those disappearing bobby pins and conveniently reach for one whenever you need to tuck in those flyaways.

Storage solution #2: Take a pretty picture frame and place a decorative magnetic sheet inside it. Once you put magnets on the back of your eyeshadows and blushes, you can stick them onto the frame. You can even hang this beauty up for display!  (Psst: Perfect for lockers!)

Storage solution #3: Who knew picture frames had so many ulterior uses? Place a piece of colored paper or fabric inside and you have a vintage-looking, beautiful vanity tray. This is just too pretty!

Storage solution #4: Repurpose pretty cups and glasses into gorge nail polish holders!

These tips are really good, especially the nail polish one, an the vintage looking vanity tray looks SO cute! I will be sure to try them both!

My beauty storage solutions are to hang necklaces on my bedposts and line nail polish along the frame of my mirror.

im skinny & really tall, but i suck in my stomach ALL THE TIME! its not REALLY bad or anything, but its just a bit more of a gut than i want. sometimes during sitting/slouching: i appear to have 'rolls' which look bigger than they really are.) my stomach tends to get larger at night, after eating, & "that time of the month". i get really insecure about it sometimes when its as big as my chest- or sometimes even bigger! i dont wanna lose weight or anything, but i really want some more muscle in my lower abs to hold in the stomach a lil bit.
any advice?




Hey girl-

Honestly, we all feel like we have that issue. And I've yet to see a girl who NO rolls when shes sitting or slouching! If you wanna tone your tummy, check out an ab routine or take a pilates or yoga class! Running is  great way to tone your abs as well.




good luck!

Where am I gonna find all those items? If I could find them, that would cost me a fortune. Well, I guess it doesn't matter anyway.

I got the email for the 7 day shampoo challenge from buzz babes on the 30th. It said it should get here within 2 weeks. Today marks 2 weeks and it hasn't came yet!. Should it be getting here soon or is it just taking longer cause I live farther away? I live in Minnesota. Thanks!

 

Hey girlie! Send your Buzz Babe question to buzzbabes@girlslife.com.  Someone will let you know what's up! xoxo

MOD! If I wanted to shrink my stomach (just a little bit) how many pounds should I aim at losing?

 

Hey chica! It isn't about pounds, it's about how you feel and how you look.  Don't focus on the scale, just focus on how healthy you feel and whether you look healthy (NOT whether you look "skinny", which can be dangerous and lead to over exercising or an eating disorder). xoxo

Hey! Do you have a ton of nail polish or nail sets.. But not enough room? Well then here's a great idea that works for me: I have a lime green plastic bin that i use to hold all my polish,nail files, nail clippers..etc. It works great and is easy to carry from room to room! Plus the color matches my room! 😊

Hey texgirl12345, I think that's kinda cool. And she does have a point girly. Brand name things aren't always the best for you. Before you say you dislike the stuff she's making, give it a chance. Sometimes homemade things are the best. Xoxo

Hey gracie206, you can try rubbing some tomatoes on your face, let it sit for thirty minutes then add some lemons without rubbing the tomatoes off for another 15 minutes and then rinse your face with water. Do that every day even after school starts until your face is clear and smooth. You just have to accessorize with the stuff you have. Layer your necklaces and find cute shirts you already have to wear with your shorts. Try doing your hair in different styles, maybe braids or a messy bun. Hope this helps! Xoxo



MODMODMOD 2 questions 1.school starts on monday for me and i just looked in the mirror and i have bumps all around my face is there anyway i can get rid of them by monday ps i cant buy something 2.all i have for school is some shorts i dont have anyskirts and i have alot of tees i really wanna look awesome for school i have some necklesses but thats it how do i put it so it wont look bad?

Hey katiekakes8, well you didn't mention anything about accessories. Wear cute necklaces and bracelets, hair clips and headbands, and carry fashionable purses to make your outfit stand out. Even polishing your nails will give a little pazazz to your uniform. Hope this helps! Xoxo

I wear a uniform at my school, and it includes a polo (color of choice) and khaki skirts or pants. We arent allowed to wear bright colored belts, patterned leggings, we have to wear not super bright colored shoes but there are exceptions, and we have to wear a certain color of socks (white navy or tan) but we're allowed to wear knee socks in those colors. I know its a little strict, but do you have any ideas or links to help my uniform be a little more original??? thankss in advancee Xx

Hey teenspirit234, I always get my copies from the supermarket. Hit up the magazine aisle there and see what you find. I don't think that GirlsLife is available on iTunes. You can always download the twitter app and follow us on there. Hope this helps! Xoxo



MOD MOD
I live in Connecticut and I want to buy the new issue of GL, but I can't find it anywhere. I've already checked Walmart and Target, and I can't subscribe for the magazine. What are some stores in Connecticut that sell GL?
And also, can I buy it on my Ipod touch? Lynae P.
