Pam's Makeup Storage/Collection.

Hello Lacquered Lovelies and Makeup Freaks,

As most of you know I am not only passionate about nails but also makeup. Without makeup I am sure that I wouldn't have gotten into nails. I have done very few makeup posts on my blog because I am not sure if that is something you all like. Maybe I will make another blog dedicated to makeup only.... Maybe? Or if you guys are into that I will keep posting them here.

Today I am going to show you how I store my makeup and kind of tell a little bit around the brands and items that I have and why I organize my makeup the way I do.

First off my makeup all fits into a 5 drawer organizer that is from Sterlite, I believe this was around $5. I know I went back to the store and check the price not too long ago and it was $10. I have split mine into a group of three and two. Three drawers are on top of my nightstand and two are in the little cubby. Under the group of three I added a black board to make the top of the nightstand bigger because without it the surface of the nightstand is about a third of the size. 

What is on the left side of the top

What is on the right side.

 The first three drawers hold things that I grab for more than anything. This includes foundations, powders, eyeshadows, mascara, and eyeliners. On top of the storage drawers I have a container that I keep my brushes in, my mirror, and a few hair items.  Along the left side of my drawers I keep my Naked palette, lotion, brush cleanser (homemade I can make a post about it if you all would like), perfumes (not from Bath and Body Works), and a festive candle. On the right side I have all of my Bath and Body Works body splashes, another candle, and a lip tin. If you want a perfume collection please just tell me.

In the first drawer I have moisturizer, primer, foundation, concealer, and powders. 

-Clinique Dramatically Different Lotion

-Rimmel Fix and Prefect Primer

-L'Oreal True Match Foundations in W1 and W3

-Almay Foundation

-Benefits Erase Paste in #2

-Maybelline powders

In the second drawer I have eyeshadow bases and eyeshadows. I am not going to go into depth about these but I will say brands.

-Wet N' Wild Trios and Palettes

-ELF Quads, Pigments, and Palettes

-Maybelline Quads

-Essence Duo

-Benefits RSVP Creaseless Cream Shadow and Liner.

-Revlon

In the third drawer I have eyeliners, mascaras, eye primers, glitters, eyelashes, and glue. Again I am not going to go into depth with what colors or details.

-Revlon

-L'Oreal

-Maybelline

-Wet N' Wild

-Sally Girl

-NYX

-DUO

Then in the second part is things I don't grab for often but I want to keep them to use later on or when I am feeling on wearing these items. On the left side of that I keep my hair sprays, smaller Bath and Body Works Lotions and Sprays, and bulkier makeup like Revlon Mineral Powder and L'Oreal Blushes and Powders. If you want a Bath and Body Works Collection Post please just tell me.

In the first drawer I have lip products this includes a chapstick, lipstick and lipglosses. I am not going to into depth about these but I will say the brands.

-Liplicious

-Revlon

-Maybelline

-Wet N' Wild

-NYC

-Sally Hansen

In the second drawer I have random things. Things that don't fit somewhere else in the collection or bigger things that I don't use as much.

-ELF Blush and Bronzing Duo

-ELF Blotting Paper

-Wet N' Wild Blush

-Wet N' Wild Mega Glow

-LA Colors eyeshadow

-Revlon Eyeshadow

-Extra foundation

As for my brushes I have Sigma brushes, I actually got mine for free through Luuux. I have some ELF eyeshadow brushes and the brush from the Naked Palette.I actually don't use all of the brushes. 

Well that is it for now I might get more makeup in the future but as of right now I think I have what I need. There are things I would like but I am content. I want more high end stuff because I only have a few things.

Thanks for reading.

Enjoy yourself

XOXO

Nail Polish Storage :)

Since this is a blog about anything nail I figured a lot of people are going to be eager to see what I am working with.Note I am not trying to brag in anyway, I know I love looking at collections so that is why I am posting it.
All of my nail polish fits into two Sterlite plastic shoe boxes, but as you can see from the second bin I need more. I was just in this place, I had to go out and buy the second box that was around 3 or 4 months ago.
In the first bin you can see that I have organized it by brand and by color. So I have my "higher end" polishes in this bin which includes OPI, China Glaze, Orly, Finger Paints, etc. Oh how I wish I had Butter London or Deborah Lippmann <3.
In the second I have a lot of drugstore brands like Wet N' Wild, Revlon, Sally Hansen, Sinful Colors, Pure Ice, etc. I have tried to organize this one but since it has a lot of polishes and is a tad bit over flowing I just gave up. This one also smells heavily of polish.

I love to store my polishes right side up because this makes it so the polishes can't leak or "glue" themselves shut.

The purple dotted basket was the first thing I used to hold all of my polishes. As you can see I only had a few. This was back in November of 2010. I am looking back and just awed about how much I have grown. Then I had the plastic shoe box that is below you can see that I did get a few more.

Next I have the two baskets that I had used before the two shoe boxes came along. In the first basket I have all of my top coats, nail art stripers, acrylic paints, thinner, rhinestones and brushes.

Then lastly I have the basket that holds all of my color wheels which I will include in a different post. You can find those at Sally's Beauty Supply for around $5. It has my acetone and non-acetone nail polish removers. I also put all of my acrylic stuff in there. I do acrylic nails on other people not me, I personally don't like acrylic nails, they look cheap to me.

Wow this is a long post. I am sorry it is such a long one. I would sit down and write all the names out but that would be over 100 polishes to go through. One day I will sit down and make it a point to do just that. If you have a question about a color or if you would like to know the name please just ask me and I will be sure to answer.

Enjoy yourself
XOXO
