makeup collection&storage

Sunday, 10 July 2011

This post is completely, 100% devoted to my makeup collection, and it is quite possibly the most exciting post to me that I have ever done, sad but true.

I have been building up my makeup collection over about 3 years, and although is it by no means as large as some other giant collections, I am actually weirdly proud of all my makeup! Generally, I buy all my products myself (with exceptions on birthdays etc.) and this post is aimed to show my readers my collection, not to brag about what I have!

I have organised all my makeup into different sections using two large 4-drawed towers from ASDA...

Makeup Tower 1

I also store hair bands, clips, keys and perfumes on top of it.

Makeup Tower 2

Down the side I store palettes and magazines.

Blushes/Bronzers/Highlighters

Lipsticks/Balms/Glosses

Eyeliners/Mascaras/Things too big to go anywhere else!

Foundations/Concealers/Powders/Primer

'Everyday Makeup'

Things I use all the time.

Small Eye Palettes/Single Shadows/Pigments/Liners/Primers

Miscellaneous Lashes/Tools/Old Cases

Products I Never Use

Face Brushes/Eye Brushes

Both stored in old cups and in rice to keep them standing up!

I hope you liked this little insight into my makeup obsession! If you have any questions about particular products or want more detailed categorised collection posts feel free to comment below!:)

Nice collection! I've only been interested in makeup for just over a year, so my stash isn't nearly as big as yours. :)

Anyways, in the picture for Foundations/Concealers/Powders/Primers, there is an item by Natural Collection. I'm curious, what is it? I don't recall seeing it.

I love how organised it all is, I'm trying to sort mine out at the moment and looking for some boxes like that! What do you do with the products you don't use, I'm always pretty gutted if I buy something and its rubbish I like.... what do I do with it know :/
