I commented a couple of days ago but I had to add that I'm loving your shelving. I'm working on organizing my makeup. My first goal for 2012.

[dustyohunter]

@msneechie I'll post a video on this setup sometime. The shelving units are from IKEA - I adjusted the pegs on a number of them so the shelf slants lower in the back/higher in the front. This creates a bit of a bowl-like shape so things don't spill onto the floor. The mirror behind him is actually my favorite piece though - It was a total by-chance find. It's an old hairdresser's station from a salon that I picked up used for $15.00! It's got the mirror, a cabinet and a pull out work surface :)

Is there a particular code for Terra Firma Cos Eye Paint?

When I tried to order, it kept saying $15 each even if I have

4 in my cart. Do you know if this was a limited promotion?

[dustyohunter]

@crissylex I don't see it on their website anymore. It must have been a limited promotion. Since it was so recent, try emailing or calling them on Monday and ask them about it. Maybe they still have it and I'm just not seeing it. It's worth a shot! :)
