For the last couple of months my make up has been kept in my living room in my make up case and glossy boxes hidden down the side of the couch, the reason for this? because there was just too much and I had no idea where to keep it. The thought of trying to somehow squeeze everything into my teeny tiny dressing table was enough to bring me to tears but my husband announced that he was sick of seeing my make up and it was time to go.
It took me a good few hours but after alot of blood, sweat and tears all my make up now has a home.
What do you think?
I picked this dressing table up for £20 at a local charity shop and fell in love with it straight away, its not perfect but I have some plans to refurbish it, the stool was from Ebay and cost me about £3.20 and again I'm going to get some nice fabric and making this look a little bit gorgeous too. I know they are not to every ones taste but I love them.
The two drawers are pretty small so I used to Glossyboxes in each and put everyday products that I always reach for in each, we have lipsticks, mascaras (these are all my mascaras that are under 3 months old, I may have a problem), Face products and tools.
The eyelash curlers are my new Mister Mascara ones, I absolutely adore them and they are by far the best curlers I have ever tried, I will be doing a review on them shortly.
On top I keep my hair spray and dry shampoo, Mac brush cleaner and Fix + , my perfumes and a few other bits and pieces. There are some brushes that I very rarely reach for, my mirror and a jewellery holder.
I then just keep my big box underneath my table because there is no way on this earth that this was ever going to fit but I have had a big sort out and I think it looks a lot better since I did this post on my everyday make up box.
If you spot anything here that you would like a review on just comment below. If you have done any posts on your make up area put a link below and I'll take a look, I love nosing around other peoples storage.
I've been looking for some new blushes for a while and spotted this little beauty on New Looks website of all places. Priced at £9.99 I thought it was rather a good deal for 3 blushes. I've had Sleek blushes before and found them to be extremely good quality. They are highly pigmented and last a good 5/6 hours before they start to fade on me, which is better than some higher end blushes I have tried.
The palettes are actually smaller than I expected, I thought they were going to be a little bigger. Here is a picture next to one of the Sleek eyeshadow palettes for comparison.
I picked up the Lace palette which are some lovely very vibrant orange colours.
The shades are Crochet, Guipure and Chantilly. I have to say, Guipure does remind me a lot of Rose Gold, another Sleek blush that has been talked about alot and seems to have been out of stock everywhere for some time.
Again for comparison here is the Rose Gold blush next to Guipure, pretty similar, do you agree?
Here are the swatches of the blushes, as you can see they are really quite bright but the good thing about these are you can have them as just a slight wash of colour or build them up to a much heavier colour if you like.
Overall I feel like this is a really good buy for £9.99 and definitely worth a look, another fantastic product from Sleek.
