I don't own a huge amount of make-up as I find although I am attracted to the vibrant colours I don't use them too often. The most used colours seem to be in my M.A.C palettes. They're perfect for myself or others.
This isn't an informative post rather a few pics for the self proclaimed nosey people. After all we like to know how other people do things. Maybe it will give you some ideas...maybe not
I am a bit of an organisation freak so everythig needs a place, these storage trays from Ikea are perfect for storing round jars and tubes, keeping everything neat and visable. I stack brands on top of each other in a colour co-ordinationg manor to help my eye quickly scan the draw to pick what I need.
This section has my Barry M dazzle dusts
This holds my Jesse's Girl, Suds and Sass, Stargazer, O.C.C and Medusa make-up pigments.
Here I keep my Coastal Scents gel liners, Stila smudge pots, M.A.C pigments, M.A.C fluidline and some primers
In a deeper tray I keep my M.A.C pigment samples, I prefer to get these than the jars. I forgot the website I got them from but I searched M.A.C samples.
As these compartments are narrow they make the perfect space for mascara and shadesticks, underneath them are a few quads of complimentary colours and loose eyeshadows I need to depot.
Here anything goes. Illamasqua loose pigments and liquid metal, Nars palettes, M.A.C, Sue Moxley, Grimas, O.C.C, Go cosmetics.
More randoms-Smashbox, Ruby&Millie eyeshadows, E.L.F,Benefit, GOSH, Illamasqua, Milani and at the bottom a Grimas quad.
In a seperate basket I keep some of my smaller palettes, there's quite a few to name but this was from Asda for a cheap £1.70 for 2!
I have more larger palettes by M.A.C and Coastal scents but they're in another area.
That's all for the storage for now, I will move on to face and lips another time. I'm pooped from a day at Butterfly World with 3 very excited children so I am going to crawl upstairs to lay my head down.
Also my internet connection is horrible at the moment.
It takes me ages to do a post so attempting to reply to my comments is a joke. I am going to try and get back at you lovely ladies tomorrow.
Great storage ideas! Where are the white plastic storage thingys from that are in the drawers?x
ReplyDeletelove the storage very practical and you can see what you got. I also have a smaller collection since I buy quality instead of quantity :)
ReplyDeleteGreat storage ideas. I love seeing how people store things :)
ReplyDeletexoxo
thanks for this! i love seeing how other people store things, and also take a cheeky look at their make up collection ;) yours is amazing! xoxo
ReplyDeleteGreat post, thanks a lot. I love how organized you are with the pigments. I find I always tend to neglect them because I can't see the colours from the jars, etc since my jars are all just shoved into a drawer. I'm going to go try and find those trays so I can lay them out!
ReplyDeleteWow how neat!
ReplyDeleteI don't have very many products so they all sit mixed together in two small drawers xD
This is a really good post. Brilliant way of storing make-up. :-)

ReplyDeleteSometimes you forget about the good stuff you have when it's hidden that's why I have mine laid out. Try get stationary desk inserts if you cant get these. x
@ree ree @mercedes @becky
ReplyDeleteThank you ladies, it's best to only really have what your going to use, I use some of this on other people otherwise I prob wouldn't have as much. There's loads of good storage solutions now its really fun xxx
@Yourztrulyjess @andrea
ReplyDeleteThey do dont they, thats what happens in shops they lay it out nice to make you wanna buy it all! :)
I'm not sure what they're called, I couldn't find them on the internet either. I stumbled across them in store a while ago xx
Great storage... People who dont have their makeup organized tend to wear the same things over and over again!!!
