Bag it, Box it, Organize it,
Remember the old makeup cases? I always thought they were so classy when my mom and grandma kept their makeup in these cases. It looked so cute and compartmentalized. I love being organized, I love storage boxes, I think every item should have its own case or storage area so you know exactly where to find it. 
Especially small items like makeup who has time to look all over the place for these items. Also, for cleaniness these items should be kept in a safe place. If that safe place is cute and decorative all the more better.
Tips on organizing your makeup
- First off make sure that your makeup hasn’t expired. If it has, toss it, it’s not worth it, especially with things like mascara to risk using old products.
- If you’re using a drawer to throw all your makeup into, drag it all out and sort out the things that you simply never use (yes that electric blue eyeliner would look amazing with the green dress you haven’t bought yet, but it’s been a couple of years so go ahead and let that dream die).
- Sort makeup into eyeliners, eyeshadows, foundation, powders, etc.
- As we’ve mentioned before, we’re not big makeup people but we still manage to have enough of it to clutter up the bathroom counter
- Now go around the house or to the kitchen and round up small bowls or boxes that aren’t being used and sort makeup into them.
- For all the brushes and mascaras into something less frou frou than the makeup itself. But any kind of cup that will hold what you need will do the job.
- This is a great time to wash brushes. Just use some mild shampoo and wash them in lukewarm water in the bathroom sink. Let them dry overnight.
- Find covered containers such as a makeup case, or a makeup box that can hold: eyeshadows, blushes, powders, bronzers, etc in their own box to keep them separated.
Jaqs Makeup Loft is having a big clearance sale on all makeup boxes, cases, oraganizers and the like. We have plenty of makeup bags and cases to help with your makeup organization needs. Take a look!!

NYX Cosmetics Cheap or Good Makeup?
While shopping at the Fox Hills Mall in Los Angeles I could not help but notice there were several NXY makeup displays in almost all of the clothing stores. Although, I have never used this brand I am familiar with it, I know they are very inexpensive. I am not sure about the quality but I could not help but notice the NXY cosmetic line has become very popular in recent years.
After a bit of research, I learned that NYX Cosmetics is headquartered in Los Angles and has been around since 1999. It is also one of the fastest growing cosmetics companies in the US. At NYX, their mission is to provide women with high quality makeup at an affordable price. You’ve got to love that! Also, one cool little tidbit of information is that NYX is actually named after a Greek Goddess and is pronounced “niks”.
The young girls rave about this brand on youtube as well as several makeup blogs. But, i’m not sure if the poor economy is driving this boom since the makeup is so cheap or if it’s really a great product. @ www.jaqsmakeuploft.com we sell highend cosmetics such as Motives by La La, MAC, Benefit and Smashbox. I am very happy with the cosmetic lines we offer I know its great quality and great for the skin, however I wondered if any of my customers have actually tried NXY Cosmetics and what did they think about it.
Have you ever used NYX cosmetics, did you like it?
How is the quality of the makeup?
Is it long lasting, good coverage?
Is it a product you would buy online or buy at your local store.
Please let me know im curious..
Motives for La La Cosmetics
So exciting Motives for La La celebrates it’s grand opening at Jaqs Makeup Loft.
Motives for La La cosmetics brand, includes mineral base lipsticks, blushes, lip shines and more. This line contains eight product types – lipsticks, lip shines, eyeshadows, blushes, foundations, mascara and liners – not only showcase La La’s distinct style, but complement the full line of Motives Cosmetics.
Motives for La La brings the runway look to the downtown scene. Motives for La La is a perfect blend of runway and everyday styles with products uniquely-formulated for every shade of today’s modern woman.

Alani (La La) Anthony was born in Brooklyn, NY to Puerto Rican parents. She began her entertainment career in radio at the age of 16 and went on to cohost the hit MTV shows Direct Effect and today La La has her own production company and has acted in several movies. She is also the star of the VH1 reality show La La’s Full Court Life, which documents her busy life in NYC with husband Carmelo Anthony, star of the Knicks, and son Kiyan.
She recently launched her very own makeup line but, what makes it different? She describes Motive for LaLa as ‘the perfect line for African American and Latina women.
To view the catalog click the link: http://motivesproartist.com/jaqsmakeuploft
The line features eight products: lipsticks, lip shines, eyeshadows, blushes, foundations, mascara and eyeliners. La La and Ridinger have ensured that their prices are lower than the competition, namely MAC and Bobbie Brown in efforts to “reach the masses.” Prices range from $10-$40. La La and her team have invented a secret, mineral-based formula for glowing skin. The line’s foundations were created for Latina and African American women.

This is what caught my eye, out of the entire line:
- Mineral Lipstick: rich, bold, and hydrating –this is my fav from the whole line. What I love in a good lipstick and apparently, La La heard my prayers! The formula is buildable for more coverage, making it perfect for day or night. Hands down, my favorite shades were Naughty (plum) and Red Carpet (dark red) –both can make you look sophisticated in a matter of seconds.
- Mineral Blush: these blushes have six stunning shades that complement any skin color, even my almost-transparent skin! They are mineral based and paraben-free, so you don’t have to worry about clogged pores or putting harsh chemicals on your face.
You’ll notice it looks brighter in the pan, but it glides smoothly and sheer on your cheeks. This product can be also layered for an intense effect.
- Mineral Khol Eyeliner: Find it in black and brown. I always have trouble when choosing eyeliners –the thing is, you’d never know if it works until you try it; especially the khol options. This pencil goes on smoothly for a soft ‘smokey eye’ and can also be precise for a sharper look. Not to mention I didn’t end up with racoon eyes at the end of the day!
- Mineral Lip Shine is highly pigmented, hydrating and not sticky at all, plus it comes with a brush applicator (which helps obtain a deeper color). The fun names such as La Reina, Preciosa and Bella, should be enough to boost your self-esteem!
- Court Mineral Eye Shadow Palette: these shadows were so much more than I expected. Besides their mineral formula, ideal for contact lenses users, they deliver a pretty effect that can be mixed or layered – you can quickly transition from day to night as they are so easy to blend. Shades are neutral, with the right amount of shimmer (no makeup mistakes here, ladies) and work wonders to enhance any eye color.
Bottom line: Latinas, African-American women, Asian women…everybody can wear Motives for La La. Prices are a little bit higher than your average drugstore products but it will be worth it. The quality seems to me much better than many higher end (and pricey) brands out there. Prices range from $14.00 to $39.95. Overall, I really love the products I think the quality is great and they are priced perfectly not too expensive. They are on par with my products and are made with great quality.

Your mother is the queen of your life make sure she looks like a queen. I put together some great fashion ideas for the Mothers Day if she’s attending Mother’s Day brunch, Mothers Day lunch here are some fashion ideas to make her look like the queen she is.
There is no love like a mother’s love,
no stronger bond on earth
Like the precious bond that comes from God,
to a mother when she gives birth.
A mother’s love is forever strong,
never changing for all time
And when her children need her most,
a mother’s love will shine.
God bless these special mothers,
God bless them every one
For all the tears and heartache,
and for the special work they’ve done.
When her days on earth are over,
a mother’s love lives on
Through many generations,
with God’s blessings on each one.
Be thankful for our mothers,
for they love with a higher love
From the power God has given,
and the strength from up above.

What is BB Cream?
What is BB Cream?
BB Cream or Blemish Balm Cream is among Asia’s hottest beauty products right now. Where did it come from and how did it become so popular?
It was initially designed in Germany by dermatologists to help laser surgery patients to protect, soothe and
refine highly sensitive skin while providing light coverage for post-laser scars, acne and other blemishes. However,in recent years BB cream has gained a huge following for its skin-regenerating functions
and is now also widely used in Asia to provide natural-looking skin coverage and now on to America.
- BB creams have been touted to do everything but clean the kitchen sink for example;
Skin whitening or brightening properties
Anti-acne
Anti-wrinkle
Even out skin tone
Lighten blemish scars
Primer under foundation
Replace foundation
Moisturizer
Sun block
Pore minimization
Skin refining
In actuality BB cream is nothing more than a Tinted Moisturizer. Although, it is somewhat more than that.
BB Cream Benefits:
- A moisturiser
A primer
A foundation
A concealer
A sunblock
Covers acne
If you have great skin that requires minimal coverage then BB creams might suit your needs.
If you do not like a foundations at all but like sheer/light coverage foundations BB cream would be perfect for you.
If you like the idea of an all in one product to save time and money in make-up BB cream would be perfect for you.
However, if you have problem skin like broken capillaries or excess redness on your cheeks, dark circles under your eyes or all types of pigmentation or discolouration a BB Cream will not work for you, you will still need a thicker foundation or concealor.
So far most BB creams only come in two shades Light and Medium, however Smashbox has it in 5 differnt shades to cover African American skintones.
It goes on looking gray and then later oxidizes into the skin and blends with your skintone. They range in price from $12.00 to $39.00.
