My Makeup Collection

It's been a while since I filmed my last makeup collection so I thought I ought to do an updated one. My makeup collection has changed massively since I did my last one and I think that's mainly due to having my room decorated, I've got brand new furniture so have changed the layout of my makeup collection. Not only that but I'm a bit of a makeup collector (or should I say makeup addict) so as you can imagine my collection has grown quite a bit, it also doesn't help being a Makeup Artist (hello 35% MAC discount!) 

I store my makeup in the Ikea Malm 6 draw chest which sounds pretty hefty but as you'll see from looking at the photographs below, I need A LOT of storage. 

I store my everyday makeup brushes in these cute little Sigma containers, they quite roomy so fit in a lot of brushes which is handy for me! I keep my spare (unloved) brushes in a separate bag just so I don't mix up the two sets. 

The top left drawer is my face drawer and in there is foundations, concealers, highlighting pens, eye/lip/face primers, lip balms, skincare and other bits and bobs like cotton buds and cotton wool pads. 

The top right drawer is another face drawer and in there is blushers, bronzers, powders, sculpting creams, skin-finishes, highlighters and setting sprays. 

The second drawer is basically my palette and lip drawer, in there is lipsticks, lipglosses, lip stains, lip paints, lip pencils, eyeshadow palettes and eyeshadow quads/duos.

The third drawer is my eye drawer and in there I keep eyeliners of all different sorts, cream eyeshadows, powder eyeshadows, pigments, glitters, mascaras, eyebrow products, eyelashes, misc products including eyelash glue, glitter glue, tweezers, eyelash curlers and sharpeners. 

The fourth drawer is mainly dedicated to my hair products because as you all know I'm also a Hair Stylist as well as a Makeup Artist. In the fourth draw I store my tongs, straighteners, conical wand, hair dryer, bun rings, clips, pins, brushes and other hair things. I also keep my SFX makeup and kit foundations in that drawer too. 

The final drawer is full random things including my makeup/fashion/nail books, pro charts, perfume, Sigma cleansing and polishing tool, brush cleaner (IPA) and other bits.

I hope you all liked my makeup collection and if you have any questions about anything I've shown, please feel free to comment below! :)

Thanks for reading/watching!

Wishlist: December 2012

I have never written a wishlist post before so I thought I'd have a go at writing one. I've seen so many things I need.. want this month so thought I'd show you what's on my december wishlist.

Where To Buy:

1. Joulis Stud Check Shirt - £24.99 - Missguided

2. Black Studded Chain Denim Shorts - £45.00 - River Island

3. Cream Ears Beanie Hat - £13.00 - River Island

4. Gold Tone Heart Diamante Earring Pack - £7.00 - River Island

5. White Colour Block Bowler Bag - £37.00 - River Island

6. Studded Block Heel Chelsea Boots - £19.99 - eBay

7. Spot Print Playsuit - £39.00 - Miss Selfridge

I know the majority of the things on my wishlist are from River Island so I'm sorry if you're not a fan of that shop but I've been really loving the River Island fashion this season. The clothes and accessories have been bang on trend and so super stylish, I have to say that River Island have done me proud this season and judging from the online preview of the S/S collection, they're going to do me proud next season too. 

One thing on my wishlist that I'm definitely going to be purchasing with my Christmas pennies is the studded shorts because I absolutely LOVE them. I love anything with studded or funky detail so when these popped up in the 'New In' section of River Island this morning, I knew I needed them in my life. They're going to look perfect with a plain t-shirt, a leather jacket and a pair of boots, I just hope they don't sell out because I will actually cry.

Another thing I'll probably end up purchasing is the boots because I've been searching for the perfect pair of studded heeled boots for a while. I wanted a pair that go with pretty much anything and I think these beauties fit the bill. My Missguided studded boots are super nice and I do love them but I find they don't go with everything because there's a lot of detail on them and I find they look odd when paired with certain clothes and patterns. The eBay boots aren't too plain or too detailed so I think they'll be perfect for wearing with anything, from leggings and trousers to dresses and skirts.

I also hope to buy some other things on my wishlist but whether my pennies will stretch that far is another question!

Have you seen anything on my wishlist that catches your eye?
