How I store my makeup? || Incomplete Mini Vanity Tour

Hello everyone! A while ago I finally decided to organise my vanity and all my makeup. Before I did so, everything was just all over the place and so disorganised. I've been starting to get a lot more makeup due to the fact that companies have been sending me some really amazing stuff. So don't worry, I don't actually buy this much makeup! Most of what's here was either sent to me, gifted to me or from my makeup spree in Malaysia. But anyway, I thought I would do a post on how I store my makeup and write about these really cool storage systems that I've been loving lately. PS: I'm so sorry about the photos, I think it's got a really orange tone due to the fact that I had candles lit up around my room at the time and the natural lighting wasn't too great. I'm not 100% happy or done with my makeup storage and the way my vanity looks but I thought I would show you anyway! My vanity is actually just a 4x4 white ikea shelving system that I put on top of a few glass bricks to make the height perfect for me, there's also a mirror that is drilled onto the wall right above the table.

LIPS

 This is my lipstick carousel that I got a few weeks ago and I've been absolutely loving it. If you've been reading my blog for a while, you know that I've been absolutely obsessing over lippies lately and although it's not full yet, I've got quite a bit of a collection going on. One thing that I really love about this is the fact that it spins around! I'm such a little kid and I love the way that I feel every time I go on to decide what my #LOTD will be. It's like I'm in a little candy shop.

On the top of the lipstick carousel I just like to keep all my lip glosses or lip chubby sticks that are too long to fit in the lipstick slots. Not gonna lie, this is probably my favourite part of my vanity. If you're interested in where I got it from, I'll link all the details down below at the end of the post!

BRUSHES

I actually don't have that many brushes, but I like to keep all my face brushes in that little glass storage system to the right. It came with a lot of little gold beads that you can put at the bottom so that the brushes stand up straight which I thought was absolutely adorable. I also have a little candle holder from ikea to the left that I like to store all my eye brushes in.

EVERYDAY MAKEUP

 I like to have a little storage system in the middle of my table just to store the makeup that I'll be using more often. To be honest, I don't really like the way it looks but I'm not too sure where I'm going to position everything yet so I'll keep you all updated. But personally, I think it makes my makeup table look very cluttered. If you want a more detailed post, just let me know! I just don't want to go in to too much detail as this post would take absolutely ages!

To the left is just a little pot plant container thing from IKEA that has my eyelash curlers, eyeshadow primers and eyebrow gels.

I was gifted this storage solution by my sister a few years ago and it was the first thing on my vanity.

MULTI MAKEUP BOX

I was actually gifted this massive makeup box with a flip top by Rimmel. It was so sweet of their PR company to send this to me. I was so surprised when I opened the package as it was absolutely massive. I actually store this in one of the little shelves under my vanity. This has six compartments and a LOT of room to store makeup.

MASCARA, EYELINER, EYESHADOW

In the first drawer, I like to store all my eyeliners, mascaras and even a few eyeshadows. Just to run through, at the back I have a few mascaras from Rimmel, MaxFactor and of course my holy grail Mascara by Covergirl which I actually have about 2 of. To the left I have all my eyebrow pencils followed by a few of Maybelline's colour tattoo eyeshadows, and a bunch of eyeliners. Once again, I know it's very messy and I won't go into too much detail about my makeup unless you want me to!

EYE PALETTES & EYESHADOW

As you can see, in this drawer I like to store all my eyeshadow/eyebrow palettes which I don't actually have that many of and a few loose eyeshadow bits and bobs that don't fit in the drawer above.

BLUSHES & HIGHLIGHTERS

 In this drawer, I like to store all my blushes and highlighters which once again, I don't actually have that many of. But just to sum it up we've got NARS blush in orgasm, a Tarte blush, Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder, a NYX blush, a Rimmel blush and the Naked Flushed palette which is a blush, highlighter and bronzer palette.

BRONZERS

Once again, very self explanatory, this is the drawer where I have all my bronzers. By the way, one of my favourite bronzers at the moment is the NARS Laguna bronzer which I've actually been using as a blush!

FACE (Foundation, Primers & Powders)

This last drawer is definitely significantly bigger and wider that the others that is why I think it's perfect to store all my foundations, primers and powders. As much as I would like to have it laid out neatly, this is what it looks like on a day to day basis. Just being real with you! Girls, we all know the struggle is real when you're trying to keep your makeup looking all tumblr.





ANYWAY! I hope that you enjoyed reading this and if you were interested in any of the storage systems that I mentioned here are some links. I got the lipstick carousel and brush holder from a really awesome online store called "The Makeup Box Shop" and they sell loads of makeup organisers.  As for the massive Makeup storage that was sent to me by Rimmel, I believe you can get the exact same one from the online store too. The only difference is the fact that mine has a little Rimmel logo at the bottom. Although some of you may find that the storage solutions are quite pricey, the quality of their products are so amazing.
