Affordable Make-up Storage

I find it difficult to keep my make-up tidy.  I'm a student and I can't afford a huge vanity dedicated to make-up and I don't have enough make-up to fill one (I'd like to!).

 

So, I'm still not happy about the way I keep my face products and eyeshadows, but I think I've found a good way to keep my brushes, lip products and eyeliners.

I keep my lip products and mascara in this jar.  I can see what's inside and my products are standing up which is great! I found this jar at a pound shop for about £2, but I'm sure you can get these jars in supermarkets!

I know storage must be practical, but who said it has to be dull.  You can buy any tea light/candle holder of your choice.  I chose this one. It's from Vinegar Hill. It was about £4 in the shop, but I'm not sure if you can get this online.

I keep my brushes in this mug.  This mug is absolutely HUGE and so pretty. I bought this mug in TKMaxx for £4.99. Any pretty mug will do, but I suggest if you want a pretty mug that's a bit different I would go to TKMaxx ( with a good home department), HomeSense, Dunelm Mill or something similar!

 

I hope this has given you some inspiration to do some spring cleaning!

Maybelline Color Tattoo in On and on Bronze/Bad to the Bronze

Hi all,

 

Today I want to share my favourite cream eyeshadow with you!

It's a very pigmented, warm bronze colour that if very flattering.  You can wear a little or a lot of the eyeshadow and both effects are beautiful.  Some people use it as an eyeshadow base but it's a pigmented enough to be an eyeshadow on it's own.

 

You can see how much I've used.  I think this eye product is one of my favourites because it's easy to apply and it's a quick if you're in a rush and don't have time to rush.

I also own the shade Eternal Gold which is nice but I prefer this colour.  I'm happy to say there are more colours coming out in the UK because the US seem to get a huge colour range compared to us! I hope they release a nude, but at the moment I'm eyeing the shade "Light in Purple".

At £5 each, I don't think you can go wrong, some people have complained that it dries out quickly. I've had mine for 7 months and it's still going strong.  If yours is dry I recommend turning it upside down so that the moisture can come through from the bottom!

 

Have a nice day!
