My Make Up Collection And Storage!

  Hello my lovelys, I thought my first proper beauty post should be something interesting and let you know what products I really love using. So you might of guessed that this is a post about my make up collection and storage. Now I do release my obsession is extreme and I have collected a wide range of makeup from my favourite lipsticks to fewer blushers. I do know to some people this may be very small but to me this a very large and has been collected over a couple of years!

Lets start..... The actual storage is from IKEA and is still in stores I can't remember exactly but I do believe it was under the 100 pound mark. The mirror does fold down but I leave it up for last minute checks in the morning(can't have me running out the door with overdone blush or a tango line). It comes with 6 draws which are all full with interesting things so lets get started.

So the big box which has a vintage look is a gift from my mother when she went paris, it currently holds all my nail vanish. The purple base is a scarf as the base was actually really ugly brown colours. This scarf makes it a bit more girly for my liking. Now the brushes at the back are in a old lollipop tin which looked very abstract and then a little rose jar which contains my every day brushes. Standing on its own is one of my favourite powder brush from Ted Baker. I then have some very simple basics such as eye lash curlers and pencil sharpener.
The first two draws I keep books and my hair extensions which are generally very boring so I won't be showing you those. Now the third draw is wear the make up begins.



This is the first draw as you can see it has a range of things in, but overall this is the complexion draw containing foundation, highlighting,concealer, lashes , face masks and moisturisers.

 At the back you can see a tin this contains unused foundations, concealers, primers etc. Some brands include MAC, the body shop, Nars, Revlon etc.

The second tin closer to us, is products I use on a frequent basis so my favourite foundations, highlighters etc.

Then some bits and bobs such as mirrors, face masks and eye lashes dotted around the draw
The second draw contains eyeliners,mascara, lipgloss,lipliners,lipsticks,single eyeshadow and pigments. In the jar to the left side is where I keep my mascara and liners.

Next to that is a tin which I keep lipsticks on the left side and slowly work to lipgloss and lipliners.

Then I have a box which was from sephora and I have just all eye products everywhere from a range of brands.

Brands may include, Barry M,Natural collection, urban decay, Mac etc.
This is just a quick close up of the tin I use , It did infact use to be a biscuit tin. It had such a vintage feel I didn't want to through it away so I recycled it and turned it a box full of non edible goodies :)
So just a close up of another thing a recycled for my eyeliners and mascaras is this jar. It originally came with sweets in but as I gobbled all the sweets I washed it out and placed my eyeliners and mascara its just something I felt was original and sweet.





This is the second to last draw, however the last draw of makeup. This is where I keep blushers and palettes, as you can see the blushers and bronzers are at the back and compared to lipsticks I have very a few. With brands such as natural collection, mac and my favourite NARS. 


Now in the basket I keep my palettes , which range from Mac,Dior, sleek etc. The ones along the side are my bigger palettes so thats my beloved pixi palette and mac palette. And finally my Elizabeth Arden Palette.


Now the last draw is just full of hair products which I don't use and is a complete mess and will not be showing you that draw. So here it is my collection, so if the pictures are dark its due to no natural light as it is day but Britain decided it wanted grey dark weather today :(! hope you enjoyed
