Catching Fireworks

Did you see any fireworks tonight?
These were the ones from my window, I just leaned on the ledge and filmed them, then cut out the boring parts and just kept in the most amazing and beautiful ones.

The best part? I got to be all snug in my jammies while watching a beautiful light dance in front of me

I was far enough away to have an amazing view, and not to get deafened by the bangs but close enough to see every fleck and burst of colour crystal clear.

If for whatever reason, you couldn't get out to see a firework display tonight on Bonfire night then I hope that you enjoy this and feel like you are right there watching too!

　

Unlike other fireworks that dissolve away into the night never to be seen again, these are caught forever and will re-glitter and re-burst into colour over and over again!

Acrylic Makeup Drawers

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!

Storing up nail polish!

Sometimes the best, and easiest way to decorate your bedroom, is to use the things already in it, but arrange them in a decorative way!
You may have read my 'tired of untying your necklaces?' post, where I show you how to store your jewelerry while decorating a blank wall.

Well here, I give you....

The nail polish rack!!!

What do you need? A spice rack and a pot of paint.

If you're a little less patient you can use a spray can .

You could but a new spice rack, get one from a second hand store or even from ebay to really keep costs low.
