[yarig93]

[LuciousLipz101xm2]

[THEKIMYKOTOKYOSHOW]

You're so organized! Awesome!!!!

[RandomMollyxo]

Hey girls! i have beauty videos myself! including a makeup collection & tips! i would appreciate it if you could come check out my channel,and videos,and subscribe if you like them! Thanks grils i appreicate your support! happy valentines day! XOX-molly

[siire23]

I wish we had target or walmart in England, they seem to sell everything!! Great video, thanks for sharing :)

[Itsallaboutmybeauty]

I just subscribed! You have an amazing setup I need to do this.  I hope you can check out my channel and tell met what you think.

[blexi731]

I love how you have reused boxes from other items :)

[dramaqueensince1998]

Is it only a bad idea to store ur makeup in the bathroom if you take showers in there?? I have my own bathroom and I dont take showers in it I take them in my other bathroom so can I still have my makeup in there???

[DaNellyExperience]

i love your vanity :) I so many mag i really need to organize lol

[tang3rinet0rnad0]

@0511honeybee Its unsanitary, bacteria grows and it can damage your eyes...but honestly, i have had mascara for longer that three months >.<

[crazed4lena]

Probably the best DIY i have ever seen. i LOVE it that your whole setup is DIY from the ground up. Thanks for sharing with us!!! you now have a new subbie(:

[Bluesparks229]

This is perfect because I have soo much makeup and no where to put it and I found a bunch of stuff around the house I Can use

Thanx

[jassmineoea]

I am wondering how much did you spend on all these makeup items !!!!!

[jassmineoea]

I have the same perfume from Ralph Lauren :D

[MsLola107]

really thank you for concentrating mainly on the storage part:)

[hXctney]

You are awesome! What a great idea to use packaging, it makes so much sense bc that is how they fit so much into store displays, why not use it at home.

[miskevinjonas]

so many great i ideas i had to write them down because i couldnt remember all of them love the cotten ball idea!

[islandBesosMakeup]

you are so brilliant!!!! I love how you created a table with that old coffee table top!

Great job and thank you for sharing :)

[ClaudiaSwann]

Thanks for these ideas! I'm defo going to re-use the make-up packaging to make holders, i'll cover them in some cute wrapping paper, what i have left over :D double recycle.

[Caseyo01]

"you don't need to go buy brush holders, unless your a freakin' baller.."

haha, that made ma laugh.

[iamAmraAmni]

Loving it and your cats so fluffy I'm gonna die!!

[SistaBlunt]

@iamAmraAmni i havt this thing where i congratulate everyone that makes an awsome dispicable me reference.

congrats. you did good.

[chocolate12u]

Very nice!

[paolaschwebel]

hey may I ask an off the subject question? what are pigments

[sweetishfishy]

@paolaschwebel pigments are mineral eyeshadows also known as loose eyeshadows instead of pressed: )

[gatoLiv104]

Why don't you buy a few nice expensive cosmetics instead of tons of cheap ones??

[ClaudiaSwann]

@gatoLiv104 expensive =/= nice. She does actually have quite a few bits of 'expensive' make-ups. You can never have too much make-up, unless you don't have enough room for it, and as you can see she has enough room.

[gatoLiv104]

@ClaudiaSwann enough room?? She cannot even put her legs or small chair under her vanity. Her room is so tiny as you can see. I replace my make up every 2years. If she replaces all her make up every 3 years, I bet most of them just goes to garbage. totally waste!

[ClaudiaSwann]

@gatoLiv104 What does that really have to do with things being expensive. Her "vanity" is all used for storage, who says she wants to get her legs under it/sit by it - She doesn't have a chair there so i'm going to assume she doesn't.

[saucemeister123]

@gatoLiv104 for some of us, shopping for clothes/shoes/accessories doesn't give a thrill, but buying a new makeup item does. and also, some of us prefer to get 3 palettes for $50 instead of 2 high end eyeshadows. everyone is different.

[MakeupMahal]

I use packages as storage containers too ! :) lmao my mom calls me a "neat hoarder"

[naughty7817]

"A freakin baller" LOL hilarious

[Chelsfofo]

you need to buy naruko products because the boxes are beautiful to turn into other things :)

[SexyGothicKitty]

u have the white Flip i have the black one!! hahahaha

[deanaj6]

Loveee!

[lizamsilva]

I like how you explained all of your storage ideas and didn't use it as a stage to talk about all of the products that you have...I've seen some of these videos and instead of talking about storage ideas, they talk about what makeup they have in those storage boxes....Well done to sticking to the topic...

[sstrongnproud]

12 messy people!

[Mimiisawesome1398]

"some" magazines :)

[EllionVcall]

Wow scary, that's a lot.

[Rosebud1058]

I'm thinking about making a YouTube make up channel write a comment to me if u think I should or not

[BabyLuvzVlogz]

@Rosebud1058

make one xx

Check mine out if you have the timse:) I started about 2 months ago x

[naturesuphoria]

Please make morevideos like this!

[rahrahritaa]

i love that you re-use things and make them useful!

i've never seen anybody  use a cd case as a palette

[jkjkmjhb]

Wow that's a lot of makeup

[TravaTalksSmack]

I liek sexy kittehs... the cats are cute too. ;)

[susieeerawrbeast]

i have those ikea nightstands :) yay

[xXJulia4QueenieXx]

oh my god one of your cats looks just like mine! great video btw :') <3 xxx

[brandi13blondish]

How often do you buy makeup? And how much do you end up spending?

[sunnieLUVSalo]

thank you for showing...i like some of your ideas...might even steal a couple...=)

[CrazyMadZombie]

Thank you :) And I know what you're saying about buying more, looking at youtube guru's makeup always make me want more makeup even if I do have enough

[inuyasha525612]

thanks to your storage ideas, i've literally been organizing everything in my room(=

[theGoonieChick]

i am so jealous of how much you have...

[FarAway5319]

You seriously use a lot of the same make up products as I do! Totally subscribing to you!

[Macismylove321]

A makeup case with smaller makeup cases inside.

It's a case within a case.

CASEception..

[mMm1990]

LUV how earth friendly you are by using old jars & containers/boxes~_~

[zoebaby31]

You have inspired me so much. <3 I'm almost 15, and starting public school once again ina few months , so I'm making a vanity in my room :) Could you possibly do a back-to-school video? All the ones I have watched aren't great. I'm hoping to be a make up artist when I'm older =^-^=

[scyanogen]

I _love_ your storage + re-use/recycle ideas! Thanks for doing these videos - please keep them coming!

[Pearlsinferno]

This was awesome!!!

[ninataubes]

Can you make a video on the cd cases?

[ilivace]

"unless you are super baller" hahahahah!

[missemilyyang]

I meant to say I got one as alresent for graduation and I wanted some ideas on how to wear it during the day and evening. :)

[missemilyyang]

you should do a makeup tutorial using your tokidoki soda pop palette. I got on

[pandaweige]

your outfit is adorable in this video... just saying

[busydefyinglogic]

wow very innovative.. you've totally inspired me to organize everything. xD i keep all my old boxes too... mainly because i'm too lazy to throw them out.

btw could you do a video on how you wash your brushes? :D

[bahuka91]

I heard that make up should be replaced every few months, especially eye shadows and mascaras.. and yet, so many make up gurus on YouTube have tons of make up.. How often do you replace your make up?

[YaYaLifestyle]

@bahuka91 It's only mascaras that have to be thrown out every 3 months, not powder products like eye shadows. They last at least 3 year :)

[bahuka91]

@YaYaLifestyle Good to know! Thank you!

[thipi1213]

@YaYaLifestyle not tru, eye shadows and powder products last one year

[kitkatkaittt]

you are really creative with your storage. i love all your diy tips. it always amazes me, though, how much makeup gurus have. yours is not bad compared to some of the collections i've seen, but that is probably a couple thousand dollars' worth of makeup. almost my entire collection can fit in a pencil box haha.

[sweetz917]

love that you re-purpose things; very creative!

[MsSkysakura]

I love watching all your DIY videos! They are really creative and inspiring!!! Please do more of these videos! Like storing textbook, schoolwork, letters, clothes, closet, etc etc. Love them!

[PurplePlatypusPoop]

you're sooo pretty! and i really like your DIY ideas:)

[btfulmom1]

WOW!!! You have a lot of make-up. Very neat idea and I applaude you for going green. Keep those DIY ideas coming...love it.

[disenchanted1982]

i love your diy tips!!!!!!

[butterflygirl174eva]

i was wondering how you offored all this i would like to know ur secrects please and thank you (:

[fashiongirl123456789]

what nail polish are you wearing??

[Gabbyxxzz]

Im getting some stuff from dollar tree.But i need a area for my stuff.

[TheKhoil]

[applejaykay]

HOLYMACARONI ! SO MUCH STUFF!

hhaha :D

[dhodi123]

[faboox3]

lmfao "unless you're a freakin baller"

[yuppicoha5]

i just LOVE you for not going out and spending a sh!t ton of money on new drawers like some people ><

[anubis4life134]

Can u make a DIY vid on how u made a palate with a cd case

[NormalBadGood]

oh, how did u make ur own palletes with cd cases?,x

[orangeyumpop]

yaya thanks for showing us. U got really good ideas

[RandomFunStuff101]

know what? you should give away all your make-up in a contest. LOL jk :P

[msbeautyn3rd]

Can u do a lip product collection video pls!

[xcarriecx]

i wish i was HALF as organized as you are!

[jackiieCee]

Dayyyum. You have a lot of makeup! I'm jealous

[xxArinachii]

What's on your nails D:

[kutekandy719]

You are so innovative!! I wish I could do things like this, but I don't have enough makeup :(

[Macismylove321]

Holy shiettt that's too much makeup 0.o

[nasutar]

You sound a bit like Marcel the Shell with shoes on

[chelsisms]

Hey girl!

I just wanted to take the time to stop and say that I absolutely love your channel, you have no idea what your videos mean to me! These DIY videos especially are a great help, since I recently got engaged and we are moving into an apartment together. I have such respect and admiration for you. Thank you so much for doing what you do!

Much love,

Chelsea

[bbnique1234]

Love ur storage ideas!! Now I can make all my makeup and hair stuff look nice and neat!! Ur the best!!!

[s3xybabypinay]

I cannot tell you how much I love and respect you and what you do :] You truly inspire me <3

[YaYaLifestyle]

@Legallyblonde311 It's probably not as bad as storing it in the same room as your shower, but your sink room may still be a bit humid if it's connected to the shower room. The best place for your makeup is somewhere completely away from humidity such as your bedroom ^__^

[Krazy4Kookiez]

Man.. If all that belonged to me... I would be overwhelmed by the endless possibilities o.o

[caramelapple098]

where did u get the tokidoki palette?

[stephany1800]

@caramelapple098 toki doki is sold at saphora

[xBr0oklynBeautyx]

I love such videos.. Because it makes my room look more spacious and better because these tips on using things from yur home and redecorating reorganizing makes it soo much funn :)

[heirloomessentials]

I LOVE your ideas--I work hard to re-purpose things. My goals are to save money, keep things out of the landfill AND to have something different from the cookie-cutter things everyone else has. Great job!

[rightshoe21]

best storage video ive seen yet :)

[emmy4559]

you onley know how to make ur own starage cause ur asian. no offense! its truee

[tes310]

daammmnnnnn that's shit ton of makeup!!! i really love ur storage ideas.. i do the same thing kinda, save all my boxes of all diff sizes.. i always end up using them one way or another! =)

[lionamax]

Super cute storage :D loved it!

[OHbabe574]

LOVE how you use what you already had..........great ideas, I'm going to go reorganize my stuff now!

[MBLydia]

i saw you have the elf zit zapper, what do you think of it ? :)

[YaYaLifestyle]

@MBLydia I bought that when elf was having a 50% off sale, but I haven't really used it lol...My favorite thing to use for my breakouts is tea tree oil =)

[Aa4vr]

@YaYaLifestyle Wear do you get that? Do you just put it on or do you leave it on for awhile?

[YaYaLifestyle]

@Aa4vr You're referring to the tea tree oil, right? I get mine from Trader Joe's, but I'm sure you can find it at most pharmacies and vitamin stores.  To use, simple apply full strength with a cotton swab on your pimple after cleansing. I leave it on overnight and usually find my pimple(s) less swollen :)

[orangeyumpop]

@MBLydia i have it and it does not really do anything

[dearliza1220]

why is it bad to store makeup in the bathroom?

[monmon102]

It would be really cute if you used like wrapping paper to cover the packaging to make it really cute when you re-purpose the packages. :)

[chloes9704]

6:00 is a shot glass !! They are ALOT smaller in Britain haha !

[alyssapotz]

You have A LOT of make up. I am jealous.

[NanaaaLove]

veryyyy creative w/ storage ideas.

helped alot(:

[okayhii]

haha omg.. SO MUCH MAKEUP. this was awesome nevertheless. i was in total shock lol.

[swtalohagurl]

love how you organized your make-up, especially how you re-purposed the packaging! great ideas :)! thank you for sharing with us! thanks also for replying to my other question about the kabuki brush. i will be on the look out for the brush you suggested. thanks so much! *hugs* steph :)

[Fetztu]

Wow, you have a lot of beauty products! =D

[10lovestar]

wow u have loads of make up xx

[kayrayz]

[BerriKitti]

[bubzNC15]

[MiraHenai]

Hayley williams watched thiiis :D

[puxpuxify]

Hayley Wiliams reblogged this on tumblr :)

[YaYaLifestyle]

@puxpuxify I was kinda shocked when my friend told me lol...feel so honored!

[redhotchiliepepperz]

@YaYaLifestyle omg can i have some of your gel eyeliner? haha lol jk ^___^

[HayleyW1fan]

Hayley send me here, :D

[zirtaebmil]

she's really organized!

[jewlf4]

how old are your makeups?? I tend to throw away my old makeup. I'm afraid of germs and bacteria...eck... Sometimes I do want to keep them cuz I did buy them with hard earn money ........

[YaYaLifestyle]

@jewlf4 I know what you're saying. don't use any makeup once it's expired. Powder products like eyeshadows and blushes will last for at least 3 years and I only started really collecting a year ago..so I still have some time hehe

[jewlf4]

@YaYaLifestyle ooh really...thanks good to know...so i can keep my powder product for a bit longer...thanks :D Now off to the store for more basket/containers lol

[UrLocalAsian07]

Lol here's my pill I take before I go to bed >.<

[nevroth]

lol, you are so funny! "My pill that I take before I go to bed." LMAO. I use one of those spice racks that look like stairs to put all my body spray/perfume/lotions/creams on- that way I can see them all since they're not hidden behind each other. I also have a 3 drawer plastic mini storage for some items and use a clean tealight candle holder to keep clean Q tips handy & one for brushes & another for eye/lip liners. I need to do a bit more organizing though, thanks for the inspiration!

[YaYaLifestyle]

@nevroth Thanks for your ideas, too! :)

[Joyceline]

your cats are sexy!

[laughalot89]

I would just like to say thank you, you helped me organize my room which means a organized room is a organized life. I saw this video this morning and i had a room that you couldnt even see the floor it was a mess then i told my mom she got a desk out of the garage and some boxes from random things and i did this. i will post a video tomorrow but i copied you and actually cleaned my room. im 13 i dont like to clean but this inspired me! now it is clean and im so thankful for the idea!

[YaYaLifestyle]

@laughalot89 Wow I feel like a proud mama LOL It's comments like this that keep me wanting to do more vids :D

[linds122]

how many eye lash curlers does one girl need?? hahaha

[YaYaLifestyle]

@linds122 Haha you would try all kinds if you have wimpy lashes like I do.

[PeachesHerb]

Can I have your make up collection?? haha Love the video

[da818valley]

Ha u have Soo much make it's lyk a STORE IN YUR ROOM hahha

[16cookielover]

i have 2 of those white plastic containers i put all miy nail polishes  in there... :)

[myohmy8264]

how to you store your hair tools? cause u have alot. lol

[KatestheOrange]

You have more makeup than I have ever seen in my life, yet I've never seen a makeup tutorial from you!  Thumbs up if you want her to make some!

[KatestheOrange]

You have more makeup than I have ever seen in my life, yet I've never seen a makeup tutorial from you! Thumbs up if you want her to do some!

[Koocoo4cocopufss]

you've inspired me to re-organize my makeup now! :D thanks!

[ascl24]

omgggg haley williams from Paramore reblogged this video!!!! :DD yelyahwilliams.tumblr.com

[kuko2193]

this is a great way of organize your garbage for something useful. THERE IS SOOOOO MUCH MAKE UP omg...

[Skind88]

I love your organisation ideas. I also love how your collection doesn't revolve around MAC. I think the quality of a product (no matter what brand) should outweigh buying something purely for the name (if the product is crap).

[popcorn10124]

hayley williams from PARAMORE watched this video and said she was going to reorganize her stuff because of this!

[jadorehappiness]

hayley williams sent me here! how cool! haha

[THEimaginista]

Thanks for the ideas...I have changed my vanity area a couple of times, but then I buy more stuff and my setup no longer accommodates the new items...I'm frustrated :) I'm sure I have some items around the house to use like you suggested.

[jonerusyl]

thats a lot of make-up o.o

but i love your storage ideas :)

[khelsey1234]

i love how u re-use

=)

[SADE230717]

loving the ideas. u gave me sum nice tips sweetie an i always see those lil baskets at the dollar store an never get them next time i will tho

[danniekim]

wow these are some great storage ideas :D can you do a tutorial for the cd case palettes?

thanks for the video! :)

[MsLovin2010]

Great set up.

[chicazemer]

What stores do you usally shop for your make up and storgage baskets?

[123FreeFaller]

Do you have a DIY video on your CD pallets...?????????

[Buttercupjoy1988]

Great idea creative. It's good to use items around the house saves you money. Thanks for sharing

[rikiricochet]

do you like the elf products you've bought?

[xloveshelly]

You are super organized and neat with everything. O_O

You have a lot of makeup, did you use like everything?

I like your vanity and the CD makeup palettes.

Favorite line: "You really don't need to go out and buy brush holders unless you're like... a freakin' baller."

[paulkenn875]

where can u geta toki doki watch? pleez reply it wud mean the world :)<3

[YaYaLifestyle]
