My Vanity table

Hi there and Happy Pride!

So recently I got around to cleaning my vanity table. The first thing I did was have a clear out. So 10% of things either went in the bin or in a care package for a friend or in my vanity case. When that was done it was time to tackle the main issues - getting foundation all over my white table, having a load of brushes but not an efficient system where I can easily access my most used ones. On top of that I needed a system for being able to quickly access primers and end of day skin care stuff. Basically I needed to create a station that enabled me to do my face within ten minutes and take off my face within 5. In addition I needed it to be easy to clean and cat proof. Cosmo sometimes thinks of my vanity table as a little play station so I needed to make it difficult for him to steal things and run away with them!

Craftivism - Brush candy jar!

So a few weeks a go I was watching a youtube video on make up  collection organisation. For some reason I really find those types of videos calming/ satisfying lol. Well I like make up and I like cute organiser stuff so I guess its a match made in heaven.                                                   

Anyway one woman had a candy jar that she put her brushes in. I thought that was a great idea, because I sometimes go away for long periods of time, I have a nosey cat and I'm concerned with dust and dirt settling on my brushes. So at first I bought a glass jar but it was too small, then I got a plastic two litre one and it was way to tall. Then I was like whatever I'll cut it up and this is the finished result :) BTW why does glitter take forever to dry!!

Take care!

Storage solutions for makeup you use every day

Good Morning beauties,

I just wanted to share a new addition to my vanity desk that some of you may like too! So the back story is that I got sick of digging through my large make up travel case pull-out shelves to find what I wanted to wear so I asked my makeup pals how they stored their make up. Acrylic draws seemed to be the number one shout. They are cute and stylish and you can see what you need. Filling mines up I was able to see what I actually have. I am guilty of buying multiple things because I just couldn't find the one that had before. I know you can get these draws (well the bottom half anyway) from MUJI and i do love MUJI but I got my set off eBay for £14.99 :) 

Take Care
