How I Store My Makeup + Products

I've only recently starting really getting into makeup, so my makeup isn't collection isn't huge. Although, I still do have quite a lot! I've recently re-jigged my room around a lot to try and organise things better and I'm still in the process of doing that however this is currently how I store my makeup and products!

A few years ago I was given this wooden box by a family friend as a Christmas present and I recently realised that I could use it to store my makeup and nail varnish! I found a similar one here, from Ikea for £17 which you could easily paint if you wanted to. I keep this box on my desk

That is where I keep all of my makeup, it's easily within reach from my mirror and I have easy access to everything inside of it. To store the things on the top in I've used mainly empty candle jars as I find that they're the perfect size. However, to store my cotton pads in I'm using an old jar which I washed out thoroughly, I find that it fits quite a lot of the cotton pads in. And to store cotton buds in I'm actually using a cup that I bought from a bathroom shop for £1. In the top drawer I keep the things I use the most, such as my eye palettes and powders. My second drawer however is a bit of a mess, in here I keep my lip products and things I don't use as often. I keep my lip products in an amazon delivery box that I cut up which at this time, fits all of my lip things in nicely. In the bottom section of this little set of drawers I keep all of my nail polishes, as I've said, this is currently perfect for the amount of nail polishes that I currently own but I'm not sure what I'm going to do when I purchase more!

Next to my mirror on a small chest of drawers I keep the products that I tend to use quite often and therefore need easy access to. I also keep my candles on here so that they don't take up any room on my desk and I have more space. So on here I keep things like makeup remover, the moisturisers I'm using at the minute, heat defence spray, moisturisers and deodorant. 

These final two pictures show the products that I tend to either not use as often or that I grab when I'm running out the door. This is also where I store my jewellery which I'll do a blogpost on soon! In the wicker basket I keep things such as moisturisers which I rarely ever use, but next to that I keep things such as dry shampoo and spare deodorant which I do sometimes use, just not as frequently as the things next to my mirror. I also keep my perfumes and body sprays here as it's convenient to have them right next to the door so I can grab them as I'm running out the house. This is also the darkest area of my room so my perfumes aren't in direct sunlight. I also keep things like chewing gum, little bottles of moisturiser and a spare mirror here just so I can remember to take them when I'm going out the house.

So this is how I store my makeup and products at the moment! This will probably change in a few months as I'm going to be moving house within the next 6 months so when things do change I will do a new post!
