My Updated Makeup Storage.

I am really happy with how I store all of my makeup, it's taken me a while to sort everything out.

So I will start with my brush holders.


I got these holders in Dunne Stores on sale for 1.50 each, in the bathroom section. I would have liked black but they were more expensive so I think these are great! You can always get a good deal in Dunnes. 
 I got this next piece in Muji I love this, I use it for my everyday makeup.


A stack of two clear drarws are around ten euro and the single draws are 5 euro.

In the top drawer I have my essential face products, primer, foundation and concealer.

In the second I have my eye stuff, mascara, eyeliner and primer.

In the last I have my cheek products and my kabuki brush.

I have a four drawer case that I got for Woodies for 9.99



In the first drawer I have eyeshadows that are in pots or pans. These include MAC, Inglot, Nars, Illamasqua,

In the second drawer I have eyeliners, mascaras, eyelashes, coloured eye bases, I have minis of Benefits liquid blushes/highlights.


In the third drawer I have blushes, face powders, concealers, foundation, highlighters.

In the fourth drawer I have all my lip products, lispticks, liplosses, lip balms.

This storage unit is great the drawers are quite deep so you can get a lot in them! (Well as long as I don't buy too much more makeup I'll be fine!)

 If you see anything you want me to review or talk about let me know in the comments.

 Thanks so much for reading :)

Redo: Effy Stonem Skins Look.

I have decided to redo the Effy from Skin makeup that she wore in Episode 8. 

I really like this make up the tutorial will be here so be sure to check it out! 

On the lid is Illamasqua's Servent Eyeshadow
On the lash line is smoulder eye kohl
In the crease is Inglot's Black eyeshadow #63
Under the eye is MAC's Teal Pigment

 This look takes a lot of blending so it will take a while to do I did it in just under a half an hour so I think it's more of a going out look than an every day look :P 

I really love the teal underneath it's gorgeous!! 

Hope you enjoyed the look and thanks so much for reading!

Models Own Nail Polish First Impression.

I have never tried models own but I saw this colour and I needed it!

It is Mystic Mauve, a beautiful metallic pink, lilac. I have never had any pink shades so it was very unusual for me to like it.

 

  I think it's good, one medium coat and it is really opaque. 

I do in face love this shade! It is quite pricey though! 7.50 a bottle? Like really! Barry M is like 5/6 euro.

Also on another ridiculously overpriced nail polish! Nail's Inc..what? 18 euro for the magnetic nail varnish? Are you joking! 
I am going to wait until I can get it cheaper anywhere else but Dublin!


I want to try more Models Own stuff, it seems really good!

Do you have any recommendations?

Thanks for reading!
