Hello!
Today I thought I'd do a post on how I store my make up,
My friend recently did one of these posts and it reinforced my longing to do one!
My make up storage isn't the prettiest but it's all in one place and not
the typical ikea alex or muji storage so hopefully this will either
interest the nosey people, give you some ideas or
you might spot something you want me to review!
I will list all products right down at the bottom, drawer by drawer,
so you don't have to read through them unless you want to!
So this is the view in my room, I have a long thin room so I don't have too much space,
So I need a super long desk to house my skincare/body care and other things like my bra's
and my hairdryer.
This is the view from the other side, as you can see this is my little brush
set up and where I sit to apply makeup!
The majority of my brushes are sedona lace and they are just stored in the brush holder
that came with the set I bought (it's like nars packaging- it won't clean!)
I also have some real techniques, models own and other random brushes.
I then have a little clear nutella glass that I use to house my beauty blender dupes
& a little decorative pot that is used for tweezers, scissors, nail files...
even a cake fork (just because it's cute)
The tall cabinet next to it is something I picked up at Argos a few years ago,
this primarily houses my make up, although some some is miscellaneous
I thought I'd show you in every drawer.
On top I have my perfumes, If you're a long time reader then you will know
I have a review for all of these! I had a series called
'fragrance on friday' where I reviewed one of my fragrances.. every Friday funnily enough!
The top drawer then holds all my nail polish and polish remover,
I have separate storage for all my nail art, acrylic,
gel and gel polish but this is just the most convenient place for my polishes
that I use weekly!
The next drawer down is mainly my bases, so I have foundations in the top left corner and
in the top middle, I then have face powders in the top middle.
in the top middle, I then have face powders in the top middle.
In the top right I have all blushers.
In the bottom left I have all my concealers -
in the bottom right I have my highlighters and bronzers.
(crammed in might I add!)
In the top left of this drawer I have random bits like a highlighting lotion,
eyelash curlers and a fibre mascara. In the top right I have all my eyebrow products.
in the bottom left I have all my pencil eyeliners, 2 liquid eyeliners and a gel eyeliner.
In the bottom middle section I have my mascaras, some are back ups (hence 3 rimmel ones!
I got them on a 3 for 2 offer)
In the small cube shaped box I have two eye foils, a mixing plate and a cream eyeshadow.
In the longer box below the cube shaped on I have 6 cream eye shadows and two mixing liquids for the foil.
I then have my 'lip drawer' which holds the majority of my lip products, I have a fabric container that I bought on eBay to hold all my lip glosses and lip plumpers.
I then have these plastic lipstick holders off eBay which hold all my lipsticks.
This drawer is taken up by a cardboard slot together divider that I bought on eBay
and spray painted white.
This contains all my random goodies that aren't big enough for their own slot so going from left to right and starting at the top row I have...
Diamantes and stick on things, extra glitters, lip balms, lip tints, eos lip balm,
glitter, eyelash fibres and pout polish.
The next row has my eyelashes separated into individual bags, glue,
all my glitter eyeliners & pigments.
The next row has a kitty glitter, primers, a foundation sample, a highlighter and a lip plumper, I then have all my lip liners in the middle bit and then I have my extra liquid liners
which aren't glitter or black so that's just 2 essence and 2 lime crime,
I also put my shadow insurance in there as there is room.
Along the very bottom I have a cardboard tub from eBay that holds my lip balms and then I have all my random pigment and glitter towers... see below for example...
These are just a few, but I have 12 in total so that's 60 pigments & glitters!
this is a great way to compact products!
It's take up so much more room for me to have 60 separate products rather than these
stackable containers.
I picked these containers up from the boots travel section.
I then just have an extra glitter in the end section of that drawer.
This is my last proper make up drawer, the green and blue tubs are from asda's stationary bit and the orange tub like the other two above are from eBay, all links below.
In this drawer I have my palettes, I have 5 larger palettes in the top left corner and then my smaller palettes in the bottom right corner.
This drawer also holds my super tiny palettes or my individual eye shadows in the top right.
& my giant face powder in the bottom left.
my final drawer holds some excess body care that won't fit in the 'body care drawer' in my desk, my brush cleaner, a photo proof SPF and some extra lipstick containers.
So that's what is in my drawers and how I store it!
Not by any means pretty but it is convenient! :)
So that's all for now!
