Makeup Storage

A while back I wrote a post about how I store my jewellery (you can read it here) and I have been intending to also share how I store my makeup but, until now, haven't managed to get round to it. However, since finishing college I have had a lot of time on my hands so I have finally got round to doing this post which I hope you enjoy.

I bought this tin from a vintage shop in Rochester and, since then, all of my nail varnish have gone there to serve out the remainder of their days. 

Also, I did try to tidy up these nail varnishes for the post but it just wasn't happening. 

I keep my basics in this makeup bag which I have had for ages and have no idea where it came from. I keep this on my shelf and I like to just have my foundation, mascara and powder in there so when I woke up at 7:15, 10 mins before the bus left, I could jump out of bed and grab what I needed. 

I was given this little pot, which was originally filled with truffles, for my birthday and thought that it was really pretty so decided to use it to store my lipbalm. 

I got this vintage cigarette tin recently at a car boot sale and I have used it to store things like hand cream. I have recently been able to fill it up with more things.

Finally I have my big box which I got from a charity shop. I put all the items in here which aren't in my basic makeup kit and also some backups of foundation etc. 

I hope you enjoyed this post and liked seeing where I store all my makeup. I would love to know how you store your makeup - especially if you have any unique tips.
