A Little Porn Makes the World a Better Place


I have gotten a few emails asking me about makeup organization and stash pics so I figured I would show you all how I keep my beloved pretties organized (I use that term in the loosest sense possible)

These are my Helmers that I got from Ikea. Ikea is one of my favorite stores ever! It's full of quirky and stylish furniture and doo dads. Plus the food is awesome. The Swedish meatballs make you want to slap somebody. The one on the right has makeup and left has nail polish, hair and body products. The sterilite drawer set has miscellaneous tools and what not.



Drawer #1- Foundation, Concealers, Powders

Drawer #2- Blush
There are three MAC blush palettes there. The one on the top has the insert removed and contains blush pans that came with the NYX Rep Kit. F.Y.I Jane, NYX creme, and MYX Mosaic blush all fit MAC blush palettes. My palettes are a mix of those and MAC. I think that lone Cargo blush may be the beginning of a love affair. It is Cable Beach and it is glorious! But that's another post.


Drawer #3- Mascara, Liners, MAC Pigments- The mascaras and liners are in interlocking trays similar to these. The liners are supposed to be separated by color. Blues, greens purples in one. Everything else in the other. My creme liners are tossed in there.


Drawer #4- Shadow Bases and Pigments - This photo does not have my Mehron Paradise Palette in. I just sit that on top of the eye crayons and keep it moving.


Drawer #5- Eyeshadow Palettes - There are a total of 7 MAC palettes that have a mix of MAC Milani, Jane and what ever other brands that I bought that fit MAC 15 pans. In the back of the drawer are my NXY Rep kit eye shadow tester pans. The container on the right has has HIP duos that I haven't depotted. MAC Mineralize shadows, Ulta singles and a Lancome Shadow that I love and I don't want to misplace. The big black palette in the first picture is an 88 pan palette like the ones the Coastal Scents sell. It just sits on top of everything.


Drawer #6 Lipstick and Lip gloss- I am still working out the kinks on this drawer. It's not an ideal way to store lip products because I still have to dig around to find what I am looking for. It will work for the time being though.

I keep my loose eyeshadows in this handy dandy storage tower.


This is what it looks like open.


Well... That's about it. I didn't show brushes, lashes and few other miscellaneous tools because they're kinda boring. Once you've seen one you've see 50-11. I keep those items my top dresser drawer. Let me know if you have any questions on individual items or anything.

B.B.
