This was requested a few times since i got my new makeup storage & i guess is a sortof peek at most of my makeup collection (some is still waiting to be stored away..eek)
Yay, i finally feel quite content with how i store my makeup. It’s now easy to find things & i don’t have to delve down to find certain colours etc. *satisfied*

[To some this may be a stupid amount of makeup..& to others a small collection..but to me it’s just right so no judging please.. :)]

Click to enlarge any pics for closer look

This is my makeup desk thing…it’s where i do my makeup :) It looks kinda higgledy piggledy..but i like it.

The Draws

Lipglosses/Lipbalms

Eyeshadows – Incl. Duo’s, Quads, Dazzle Dusts..etc etc.

Blush’s/Bronzers/Highlighters

The Silver Chest

This includes all my foundations, primers, some moisturisers & many fake tans on the left.

D.I.Y Ikea Draws

For all you observant peeps, you will notice i have covered these drawers in the same wallpaper that is on my wall in the first picture…It took me a flippin age. appreciate it! :)
In the drawer to the left i have mostly miscellanious drugstore lipsticks & in the right mostly Mac but other higher end lippies too.

This drawer houses my many concealers & a few eye creams


Left drawer is Mac shadows (To depot..or not to depot..that is the question?) & on the right is everything else eye related.

On top of the Ikea Drawers…

My brushes which are displayed in a sainsburys pencil holder (if you are wondering why i have randomly plonked black there, i actually have some black in the rest of my room as its cream/black)… & the silver mirrored drawers which house…

Bobbi Pins.. ♥

Small clear/black hair ties (perfect for the hair plait braid..£1 in primark) & your average brown hair tie.

My coloured hair clips :)

So ladies…that is my new storage system in place…& its working fabulously..especially the mirrored drawers as i never really had a system with my hair accessories before. Makes life a little easier & faster & i heart my new silver draws from Tkmaxx. Soo much room & i can see everything! The baskets are just on my other desk which isnt really that interesting as it’s just hair/body/face stuff in them. But if you are desperate to see those too i will post the pics up, just didnt think they’d be of much interest. :)

Also, one of my bestie’s started up a blog today after i persuaded her..mwaha
So you should go & follow her please, because i know its not nice to start a blog with nobody following you and you feel as if you’re talking to yourself haha.
And shes gorgeous & lovely too & i love her
:)

Follow her HERE!

Thankyou lovelies.

  11. I have the same wooden drawer thingy! It use to be as organised as yours but now it houses make up I don't use as much….

    I've got three perspex stackable two drawer muji units now for my "essentials"…and there is STILL make up all over the place!

  12. Rachel

  37. I love your storage!! just to let you know, i tagged you. xx

  38. Great, I find it much easier with everything organised into their own drawers and easily accessible.

    Personally, I tend not to use palette e/s as much as singles, so depotting isn't really for me. I don't know why I do that? lol

    I'll be sure to click on your mates blog; I can relate to sometimes feeing like nobody is clicking on you and you are talking to yourself :)

  39. ahh, its so organised! i went to txmaxx and to have a looksee at their storage after your previous post and their stuff is absolutely ADORABLE. im definiately buying some come payday :)

  40. Imo

  41. oh my goddddddd i have never in my life seen so much makeup, i am actually sitting here in amazement!!!!

    I feel sick because my makeup collection fits neatly into one little bag… i need to go shopping hehe!!x

  42. Your drawers are SO cute! I love finding new ways to store my make-up, plus I find I use everything more if it's all laid out so that I can see it all! Check out my cheap and cheerful way of storing my brushes…

    You are so inspiring Zoe!! Love your blog so much.

    Your whole set-up and collection is so adorable and elegant. I hope this doesn't sound creepy, but whenever I'm having a disappointing day, I always visit your blog. It has such great energy! So lovely.

    Love your blog btw x

  45. I love the way you have stored your makeup! It looks really pretty! ♥

  46. Chloe

    Hey Zoe :)just wondering is your make-up bought over the years or just spontanious whims you have in the make-up stores ? :)

  47. M

    Hey Zoe! Love your organization! I am the same way with my makeup…I like it all hidden, but when I want to use it, I want to know where all of one item is so it makes choosing from them a whole lot easier!

    M, from http://allthingspretty-m.blogspot.com/

  48. Where is the mirror from? x

  49. I'm happy with my choice, and strongly recommend them to anyone who is looking for one. This storage place rocks! I only rented for a month and they were totally professional and accommodating.

  50. Management is receptive and helpful. I have been renting a unit here for almost a year, and am always happy with the friendliness of the staff and the cleanliness of the building. I like that every single experience I have had with them was a positive one.
