Pretty storage..

Picked up this lovely cut glass jar from the Boots Sale - reduced from £12.00 to £6.00. As you can see I'm storing my cotton pads in it.

Not only is it super cute with it's little green bow but it fits in perfectly with my other makeup storage. I have a few cut glass bowls and jars, that I keep a few bits in from hair clips to my everyday moisturizer and toner my my bed. They're things I need easy access to everyday but that doesn't mean I need to see them (if you get what I mean). I'd much rather have the pretty glass jars on show - pretty and organised.

Beauty Storage Part 3

Hey,

This is the third and final part of my Beauty Storage series, you can see the previous posts here.

This part of the series is about how I store all my essential bathroom items such as shampoo, shower gel and the little ones stuff. To store all of this (and there's a lot) I have two black basket units from Argos.
They each have 4 drawers and are available at Argos for £19.99, they are available in four colours (Black, Apple Green, Ocean Blue and Super White). I have them sat either side of my sink so it makes everything easy to get at. We have divided the toiletries in the bathroom between these draws, spilt out by mine, Hubby's and the little ones.

I love these units for the price and make my bathroom a lot more clutter free...

Do you have a favourite way to store your beauty products?

Thanks

Beauty Storage Part 2

Hey,

Here is Part 2 of my storage posts, for those that missed Part 1 see here.

The second part of my storage posts features my draw units that holds my actual make-up.

Now I got my two plastic storage units from B&Q from £12 and £8 I think. I am sorry but I can't seem to see them online to show you a link. I know they are not the prettiest make-up storage ever but they are a good size, easy to clean, and can be on my bathroom window sill without the worry of them getting wet. I was sooooo happy when I found them!

The smaller of the two units has two draws the same size and a flip-up compartment on the top.

This one tends to hold my make-up palettes and miscellaneous products. The flip-up compartment contains my go to moisturisers and eye creams. It makes this very accessible to easy to find the one I want to use.

The second unit has 4 draws, 1 big one and 3 smaller draws. I have separated this out to have:

1. My face product such as foundation, blusher and concealer in the bottom.




2. Mascara and eyeliners in the second from bottom.




3. Eye shadows in the second from top.




4. Lip products in the top.

I mainly only keep my go-to items in these draws I do also have a large make-up bags full of stuff I don't tend to use (I probably should look to sell these bits). But I do use most of the products that I store in here.

They are certainly not pretty to look at but I love them, they fit loads in and they are easy to maintain and clean. As I put my make-up on in the bathroom I was lucky that they are the perfect size for my bathroom window sill (it is quite wide).

Part 3 will be about my storage for bits such as face care and other fun items! I hope you like having a nosey at my storage, what do you use?

Thanks

Beauty Storage Part 1

I had done a previous post back in December last year on my make-up storage that I had in my bathroom, I have recently just update a lot of this so decided to do another post. I have done the post in two parts, starting first with my nail polish storage.

My old storage was rubbish for nail varnish I couldn't fir them all in, I could never find anything in there and it had garb handles either side so they used to fall out of them....all in all rubbish. But I found this great box while shopping in Ikea the other day.
It retails at £3.05 comes with adjustable, removable dividers you can see more about it here.

Most of my nails polishes actually stand up in it such as Models Own, George, E.L.F, Barry M, 17, Rimmel etc. Unfortunately some have to lie down such as No & and OPI but again they fit well.

I have only got one box so far but I haven't been able to fit them all in so far so I need to get another 1 or 2 boxes as soon as!

Part 2 of the storage will be on my new make-up storage boxes that I found while D.I.Y shopping!

How do you store your nail varnish?

Thanks

Make-up and Products Storage

I don't particularly have much room for storage in our flat especially after having our little girl. I tend to get my make-up on in the bathroom and recently I have been trying to get everything organised in there, as it kept getting really untidy (and it's getting on my nerves). So I thought I would just show you how I am currently storing all my make-up, below is now how my window shelve in the bathroom looks.

I have recently just found this unit at the back of my wardrobe, though it is missing a draw (I just can't find it) its perfect for my make-up. I have found this really handy to use. I was just using a basket before for my main essentials but I could never find anything but now I can get to everything I want and it keeps everything neatly away. I have tried to separate out all my make-up by eyeshadows, lippies, foundation/face, mascara/brushes/eyeliners. I do still have abag of items that I rarely use as well but I can't squeeze them in just now, hopefully I can find the other draw. I now just need to get my husband to paint it plum or grey to match in with my bathroom.

The two baskets below are from Next and they hold my essential moisturisers, eye make-up removers, tweezers, some lip balms, eye creams, and my current cleanser and toner. These cost me £10 and you can still get them from here, they also come in different colours as well.

My favourite item in the bathroom is the jar below it is from Ikea and I had got around 8 of these in the summer for my wedding as we had a sweet buffet, these come with a lid and are 59p so a bargain. L now wants one for her bathroom as well, currently our poor mum has them all in her attic. After having soooo many left I decided it would be handy to use for my cotton wool in bathroom. I don't really have any room to use them in my kitchen, again we struggle for space in there!

I am still trying to find the perfect storage for all my make-up and cosmetics, or as husband would say 'crap'. These will do me for now but any ideas or suggestion would be great! But I still need to get a make-up brush holder and something better for my nail varnish.
