When it comes to makeup storage i find it SO hard to find anywhere that has something suitable. I don’t know if thats because im too fussy..
I always look in stationary shops & just never have any success.
At the end of the day, if it’s your bedroom, you want it to look gorgeous :)
I accompanied my mum shopping today.
We went to TkMaxx (TJmaxx in america i think)
& the selection of storage is massive compared with anything i’ve seen before. They have SO many different styles , sizes & colours at the moment. I was actually torn between a few different things but i do not have the money to go all out and buy everything (even though i happily would have)
So i settled for this gorgeous set of silver draws.
The different drawers…
I am SO pleased i found this. It’s perfect, it even has the different compartments.
Before i went into Tkmaxx, i went into the pound shop to buy some latex gloves for self tanning…can you believe they sell them as a 25 pack? 25? we have 2 hands…Surely an even number would make more sense?
Anyway..
I found these little plastic drawers for £1, i don’t think they are very pretty but they are very practical & inexpensive, & thinking i wouldnt find anything else, i picked up the last 2 they had.
So if you are on a bit of a budget, or are not too fussed with what your storage looks like i highly reccommend scouring the poundshop. :)
Also, in Tkmaxx they had these gorgeous little baskets. I wanted something like this to put all my body lotions/hairsprays/hair serums in.
They have SOO many different designs & sizes of these. Lots of cute floral ones for you Cath Kidston fans (even though these arent the real deal) & at £2.99 & £4.99 you can’t go wrong.
Now onto my Sunday Bootsale finds…
It wasn’t an overly successful trip, no makeup, no bath/body items. But some cute jewellery.
This necklace was 50p. It has a garden gnome, a fork & a little boot on it…SO cute, i love it.
This is how it hangs. Quite low, and don’t panick..i know it looks silly with my outfit, but i was just modelling the length for you because im nice like that :)
This one was also 50p.
I got this because it’s just damn cute.
Sorry for the boobylicious shot..but this is how it hangs. This one is quite alot shorter. I love it.
Then, i saw this book. & yes, i saw it & picked it up because it had my name on it, and then on further inspection i notice that it is infact all about everything i love & its such a fab book. There are so many tips & tricks that i’m thinking i will share with you all.
This was £1.
Bargainus!
And before i end this post. I will share with you a pair of sunnies i also picked up in Tkmaxx (seriously ladies…tkmaxx sunnies are amazing)
These are Vivienne Westwood (one of my favourite designers) & i fell in love with them.
But do you know what made me love them even more?
they were £19.99!
I am usually SO fussy with sunglasses. If you havent noticed already, i am petite..which means that i find watches to be a mission (as my wrists are tiny) & i also find it hard to get shades to fit my head! haha I actually really like the shape of these & they feel so unbelievably comfy..maybe because i am used to cheap £2 ones from Primark.
I havent ever owned a decent pair. So these will be my special ones. haha
My mum also picked up some amazing roberto cavalli ones.
Have a goofy picture…
What do you use for storing your makeup & where do you buy it?
Hope you’re having a lovely evening ladies. How blummin amazing was the weather today? 30 degrees! Loving it but feeling a tad sticky.

I have those white drawers and I agree they ain't pretty but their damn useful! I have 6 in total which means 18 different categories of make up…but I'll stop there 'cos I'm flaunting my OCD for all to see!
Beautiful sun glasses :-)
all of those boxes are SO cute!! id love to see pics of your makeup IN them.. im weird like that haha!! its fun to see others collections :) and i looooove that little outfit you have on! its adorable!
I need to get some drawers for storage because it's either in a big box under my bed, in a bag or out on my desk – when I'm trying to do my work. lol
I've only just started reading your blog but I love it already! So glad to see I'm not the only person whose mum gets them up at 7am to treck around a field bargain hunting! Keep up the good work x
haha, i love rachel zoe!
I'm so jealous now! I purchased 3 storage units that are like yours, but they're pink. I bought them here in the US at Target and that's how I store my makeup. Love your blogs!
I love the silver drawers!! I'm going to check to see if the tjmaxx near me has them! And I love the sunglasses as well :)
adore the sunnies, they have that vintage look about them (: the drawers are so fab, i need a new set. which tk maxx do you go to ? xoxo

Anyway just wanted to say ive been a subscriber from the start and i love reading these blogs with you talking about wether you will or will not make a youtube and now we just celebrated 4 million subscribers! I just wanted to say, if youre reading this, that since the day i first watched one of your videos, youve been my idol, not only have you inspired me to 'just say yes' but i am also a different person to what i would have been without you. I cant thank you enough and i shall be one of your many subsribers till the end. <3

Hey Zoe!
I was wondering but you say you are tiny..
I thought you were 5 foot 4 ? Thought i heard you say that in a video
I'm just wondering because i am 5 foot 2.5 (1.58 meters? lol)
Also, I really like those baskets, I'm Trying to find almost those exact same baskets for my make up and hair stuff.
