Make up storage

Why hello there!

Recently I had a massive room clear out and got rid of a lot of clothes from my wardrobe and some of it I gave to a charity shop. I like to think I'm quite good at decluttering and I managed to free up a lot of space including two drawers. A my old make up box was getting old and somewhat overflown I moved all of mu make up bits into a drawer in my wardrobe. I have sectioned everything neatly using boxes that different Boots three for two sets came in like their Ted Baker boxes. 

Wardrobe drawers. Everything is a lot easier to find now. 

A girl can never have too much make up, right?

All my nail varnishes are now stored in a Hugo Boss perfume box set. 

I swatched every colour and if I'm looking for a specific one I wrote the name and brand on it too (organised much?!?) 

In another box I've stored all my eye makeup including eye shadows, mascara, eyeliners and a sharpener. 

In another box I've stored all my lip stuff including, balms, scrubs, lip pencils, lipsticks, lip glosses and because there wasn't enough room elsewhere I put my jazooli contouring kit in here too. Beneath this I put all my brushes in between. 

I also put all my powders, foundations, primers, blusher and bronzer together in this box. 

Behind all this I put all my body butters and other things I didn't know where to put..

This is where Mr body butters and Mrs body scrubs live. 

Other body butters, hand creams, lotions and nail pens live here. 

In this last box I have put all my nail stuff like false nails, nail glues or nail transfers. 

I picked these funky falsies up in Primark for 50p! 

I also keep these eyeliner transfers in here too. I haven't used them yet even though I've had them for quite a while. 

I got these ages ago in Topshop and I think they look really cute. I'm just waiting for the right occasion to use them.

Miners foundation

Hello! 

So Miners Cosmetics have launched a new range of foundations called Fresh Faced Foundation. I got sent the Almond, Ivory and Buff shades and I think that as foundations go they are very good. They cost £4.99 and I think that its great value for money.

These foundations are mineral based and they blend in really nicely to your natural skin tone to provide a lovely even coverage. 

The one above is the almond shade and I would say that its for darker skin tones. It has yellow undertones so it didn't go with my skin tone. The liquid came out nicely and was really easy to rub in and didn't take too long to blend either. 

This one above is the ivory one which suits paler skin tones i.e me! I really liked this one, it blended in really nicely and didn't feel too thick and heavy on my skin either. 

And finally, Buff.

Buff would suit people with a tanned/olive skin tone so would look great on my sister. I really like the easy application for these as it takes about 30 seconds to apply and blend. It produces a really nice coverage and it feels really light on too! 

They are also perfect sizes to pop in your handbag if you want to do your makeup on the go or want to do a quick touch up on a night out!
