My Makeup Collection


Hey Guys! So Today I wanted to just do a blog on how much my makeup collection has changed over the past few months! I store it pretty boringly in boxes in drawers of my desk and it is by no means a huge collection but I think its way more than any average person needs! but I love trying it all out and being able to mix things up every day and I love art and I see makeup as a form of art and expression. So Please don't be negative. I was thinking of doing a makeup collection on youtube but I don't think its big enough yet!



So This is my makeup collection back in June. At this point in time it all fit in the one drawer, it didn't even fill the drawer as you can see I have body butters and random things in a big box in the back and this was kind of what I already had in my collection plus a few things I'd brought since getting really into different makeup and since I got my job and could afford to spend more on my makeup. All in all its still more than most people have because I am a bit of a hoarder but this was back when it was pretty much all the stuff out of my makeup bag into the drawer so I could see it all properly.
 This was in august. as you can see the products fill the whole drawer now and I have accumulated a lot more makeup! I moved a lot of stuff around, took out the nail polish and body butter stuff and I really liked how it looked for a certain amount of time. This set up only got changed because as you can see there started to be a lot of products on top of other products and as far as blush goes I was running out of room completely! So I created my current set up!
This is my current set up! To make the whole thing neater I split it into 2 drawers but as you can see it doesn't take up the entire 2 drawers. I've basically managed to make separate sections for most products and stop the stacking issue that was annoying me soo much (appart from lippies)
I have separate sections for mascara, eyeshadow, eyeliners, face powders/blushes/bronzers, concealers, foundations, lipsticks, lipstains/liquid lipsticks/lipgloss/lip liner, and finally lip balm.
I have an amazing vintage Dairy box tin which stores all of my hair bands and hair pins and it was brought for me by my auntie! I love it so much!

Anyway, I'm quite happy with my current set up. Ideally I'd like to find some sort of acrylic storage drawers for my makeup as I love those and I've seen so many makeup collection videos on youtube with them in and I think they look so good! but for now my set up works for me and Its easy for me to grab products in the morning!

If theres anything you want to know/see or any video requests please feel free to leave a comment! I love hearing from you!
