The organisation nerd in me guarantees that there will be little change ups in my storage every now and then. Changing what goes where and which bits I'll have right in front of me. While I used to love losing time to make up collection videos on YouTube, I've always kept mine rather modest. Those items that aren't regularly used and definitely not my colour get given away to friends of Give & MakeUp where possible.
For the past few years I've settled with my wooden Ikea drawers - seen here - filling them with a whole lot more than I was using.
Christmas is my ultimate organising time, so I switched everything up. I cleared everything out and was impossibly ruthless with old, disused, unsuited make up and tried to reduce what was on my 'vanity'.
I replaced the dominating white drawers with my prettier items, storing my lip products in an old Tiffany box, daily jewellery in my new tea cup and I may make it a mission to constantly have fresh flowers out. Lilies being first choice every time.
The products were then cut down to my daily or very often used edits, old Glossy boxes were finally put to use after being saved for no apparent reason. Face in one, eyes in another.
For now I am loving this set up, although I'd rather have my lipsticks hidden along with the rest of the product.
I'm sure it won't be long before something changes.
How are you storing your make up at the moment?


lovely makeup-storage :) I did the same like you with my little chaos in my ikea drawers. I threw away all my old unused stuff..and now I feel so much better. But i still have tons of products to use xD
ReplyDeleteI love your table, it's so neat and tidy!! I especially like your tea cup and the fresh lilies look lovely x x
ReplyDeleteWell done on being ruthless and cutting down your collection. I watch some videos on YT and just dont understand why someone would need 50+ blushers - unless you are a MUA! (Although I cant talk I do have 18!) Im currently in the process of downsizing, but doing it one step at the time. I started with nail varnish, and now need to choose another product to sort out! Maybe foundation... although I dont actually have that many!

I love your setup! I'm still using my IKEA drawers (exactly the same as yours) for my make up and perfume, but I got a make up caddy for Christmas that has my daily products in, that I try to rotate around every so often! x
