Acrylic Makeup Drawers

Sunday, 29 July 2012

It's a tough job to find makeup storage that is good, accessible, effective, large and sleek looking. I'm yet to find a company that makes really effective long term ways to store cosmetics, I find any storage cases are either not big enough, horrible colours and look clunky on surfaces or make it difficult to actually see what I have.
I'm still searching and still haven't found 'the perfect' way to store my makeup, perhaps it doesn't exist!

But here's a little something that helps..



I spotted it in stationer Rymans, I often find that stationers are the best for cosmetic storage, that and sometimes homeware storage places like IKEA.
This acrylic drawer set was in a larger size but it was a little too large so I thought I would use it to store my odds and ends that are more peculiar in terms of size so that they finally have a 'place'


 In the bottom drawer I have my concealer, Fluid eyeliner, a pore concealer and paintpots go in here too
In the middle I can stash my mascaras, I have a mascara sized eye primer in there too and some of my larger lipglosses


In the top I've kept my clear lidded vegan eyeshadows from Madison Street Beauty because I felt they looked so pretty all together, and in the top drawer they can be seen all the time!


This acrylic drawer case was a little over £10 all in all!

Pretty Pastel Nails

Saturday, 14 July 2012

I treated myself to a new set of acrylic nails, and when the lady asked me what I wanted I said a ranbow! Then I specified pastel, and I was so delighted with the results!

All the polishes were OPI but as for names... I really don't know, I'm usually much more of a Barry M nail polish wearer.




They make me feel so happy to look at, it's like having ice cream dripping from my finger tips!
I think they'll chip off pretty soon though, I'm quite tough on my hands.

The colours make my pastel rings looks so much cuter, and I love the way that the acrylic makes the nail look thick, does that make sense? It makes them look more yummy and plastic-fantastic!
