Storing Palettes

Storing Palettes!

Eye shadow palettes are so handy but they can take up a lot of room when you are trying to store them. While re-organsing I found one solution which worked great for me.

I decided to use a toast holder to organise my palettes! I had one lying unused around the house and saw this as a perfect opportunity to get some use out of it.




It has saved me loads of space on my makeup shelf and I can still see all the different palettes at a glance. 

I hope this has given you some ideas for storing your eye shadow palettes !

DIY Make up brush storage

Storing and organising your eye makeup brushes

An easy way to store your make up brushes is by placing them in a jar with rice or coffee beans. I loved this idea but I decided to replace the rice/ coffee beans with beads left over from my bracelet making days. 

I felt the beads gave it a splash of colour and glam!  Now I can see my brushes easily while I'm doing my makeup. 

Hope this gives you guys some inspiration for storing your own eye makeup brushes!

As always, thanks for reading!

DIY storage for Make up

Easy storage tips

Storing small make up such as lipsticks, lip gloss and eye pencils can be a pain. It is nice to be able to see what is what at a glance rather than hunting around in a box or makeup bag. I decide to try using glass ware to store my products and it has worked well so far so I thought I would share it with you guys.

The two smaller glass jars are recycled yogurts pots that I was hanging on to for ages and finally I found a purpose for them! The larger container was originally a sweet jar.

Hope this gives you some inspiration for your makeup storage. You can guess what I will be using my jam jars for once they're finished! 

Thanks for reading,

Make up Make Up Everywhere...

Organising and Storing Beauty Products

With the new year comes new resolutions and one of mine was to get organised! One of the messiest areas of my room was my make up and beauty products. I had some in the bathroom, some on my desk and some scattered around the room. I was in desperate need of organisation. My main problem was storage space so I put up a new shelving unit and now the only problem was how to sort and store my beauty products on these shelves! I didn't want to spend a fortune on make up dividers and special boxes so I used items I had already.   

File Stands/  Document Pigeonholes

I have a number of these lying around left over from my days in college and decided instead of them being a dumping place for documents and papers which I was too lazy to file away I would allocate them a new function- holders for hair appliances!

It didn't turn out too bad in the end although I'm wondering how functional it will be over time (meaning, after I use my hair dryer will I put it away- or be too lazy and leave it on the floor like I normally do? ) 

I have loads more items to store away so hopefully I will have a few more tips and tricks for you soon :)

I hope this helps!
