Makeup and cosmetics collection complete organisation!

Now as my collection has grown so dramatically in the last 6 months my makeup was desperate need of some proper storage and organisation!

History of my makeup collection:
Now it wasn't until the last year that i really got into makeup and started to wear it every day. As well as this as i now have more money i am able to get more makeup that i was perviously. In the beginning my makeup collection lived in just a small makeup bag that i believe i got from Primark or something. I then increased this to two makeup bags as they were getting full.

Following this i got a wire cutlery tray which fitted all my makeup in well, well until that got too full. I then progressed to some little tiny draws that i got from poundland. Now i found that these worked really well, they were just the right size for makeup but didn't fit a lot in them if you had say more than a few blushes you would have to put them in more than one draw, which annoyed me.

Ok so finaly to now: I took these little draws out of the holders and placed them into my desk draw, now this worked really well because my desk is an old school desk it has a thin draw underneath it. But i did find this looked a bit messy. So here comes my DIY skills (with no help from my brother honest...)
I painted the inside of the draw a with a test paint pot from homebase and then brought MDF and made these deviders with slats of wood that had cut outs in them so that they would slide into one another. This ment i was able to design the different compartments exactly how i wanted them and it gave me much more space!

I also decided that i needed to find somewhere better to put my nail varnish rather than in a plastic box so i went to Wilkinsons and got this glass bathroom shelf for £8.

I then organised the top of my desk a bit, most of the items on my desk such as the tins, old books, mirror and brush holders are vintage/antiques.

And finished off with a sort of my cosmetics draw, the dividers in this were from B&M and are just like plastic boxes that you put together.

Yay clean and tidy! You have any questions about anything i have mentioned in this post or any others then please email me at rutterland@gmail.com or comment bellow!
