What's in my Beauty Box?
Hello Guys!
Many of you have wondered how much make up I have and where I store it all, and that is a a good question :) So when user 'SuperHotFemale' asked me for a little peak into my private make up stash and where I store my things, I thought it was a good time to compile a little something for you beauties...
I recently moved into a new apartment with my boyfriend and wanted to create a nice work station/storage for myself this time around :) As some of you might know, make up is one of those things that just accumulates over time; you buy stuff yourself, you get presents etc. So my old place had bits and bobs of make up in every room which really annoyed me!
Essentially, my make up is divided into 3 places: my two make up cases, which I bring out to photoshoots, and my make up shelves in our bedroom. I also have a stash of make up products and brushes that I use for my everyday make up and those are stored in the bathroom. (On this note: If you'd like to see an everyday products post or a post about my brushes, just hit me up in the comments below)
But anyway, I usually keep my make up very organized as I am super clumsy and lose stuff all the time by misplacing it! I love having my brushes in glass containers as they look super pretty and stay nice and fluffy that way. I used to keep them in my brushbelt, but that just got too tight the more brushes I got so now I only use the brushbelt for shoots or special occasions where I need it. My lipsticks are my most precious possessions. I have everything from MAC/Sleek MakeUP/LimeCrime/Ives Saint Laurent/Sisley/p2 Cosmetics/Clinique/Essence and Catrice. As I don't get sponsored, I have to pay for everything myself and that obviously cuts into a budget, so I am not scared of trying out cheaper products.
It's the same with brushes; I buy a lot of things from Ebay which really helps :) Powder and Foundations are things I ALWAYS try out before I buy! As you know, I am super pale and I absolutely can not wear products with a yellow undertone. On the other hand, products that are 'too rosy' make me look orange. But more about that in a future post maybe!
For my eyeshadows, I adore the Sleek MakeUP palettes! I have quite a few and find their colours and consistencies to die for! I am not a gal who goes out and buys one eyeshadow... I'm a palettes or stack gal for sure! I have a lot of Dark Heart Designs pigments as well as loads of pigments that I got from Ebay, which I really really love. Another BIG love of mine are lashes! I buy those in bulk as I love putting on a fresh new pair each time... So that is why I never buy the 'good' ones as I simply can't afford them.
So, I hope this explained everything for you guys! If you have any questions or want to see a post about a specific product/series, feel free to leave me a comment down below and I'll get to it! :)
Lots of love and snuggly kisses!
Your Beauty Pig xoxo
