Beauty Inside Art

This Oriflame makeup bag has been in the first drawer of my desk for about six months. The majority of the products have stayed the same, throughout that time. My desk is where I normally apply my makeup on a daily basis. The rest of my makeup is kept next to my bed in an IKEA organiser (Makeup Organisation post here). Since the rest of my makeup has some distance from my desk, that a lazy girl like me doesn't like, I keep a bag with my go-to makeup products for easy access. So today, I will be sharing with you what these products are and why I use them so often.

Hello everyone! I hope you've all had a great weekend! Yesterday, I was cleaning up my room and decided to apply some changes to the way I store my jewellery. Today, I wasn't sure what to blog about, and then it hit me that I should share my jewellery organization and storage with you. I always love seeing how people store their accessories and I hope this post will be interesting to some of you.

As you can see from the photograph above, I store most of my jewellery in clear cases. To be more specific, I store some of my arm candy in a Ferrero Rocher empty container. (I don't particularly like those chocolates, but I love the boxes they come in. ) My bangles are stored in a clear, round vase, that I used to put my makeup brushes in. As for my earrings, I used a white, shoe box lid which, I wrapped around it a pair of white, old tights and I just place the earrings in the the fabric. Now, I can't take credit for this idea, because I found it on youtube, a couple of years ago.

Today's blog post is all about shoes! I used to be the kind of person that wouldn't buy a lot of clothing, but spent on shoes, but that person is long gone, now! As you can see from the photos below I don't have a massive collection of footwear. Recently, I threw a lot of shoes that I just didn't wear and didn't like, among with some clothes and I blogged about that. On that post, I only showed you my newly organised closet and someone asked me to show my shoe organization and here we are!

The way I store my shoes isn't the best and many people might not like it, but it works for me. So how do I store them? In big, soft boxes purchased from a shop called Jumbo. These boxes are made out of some sort of hard fabric, I think. You see how great I am at explaining things? I don't even now the material I'm talking about! Anyway, I separate my footwear in the three boxes I own. As you can see from the photo above, the box with the orange lines has my flats. I have converse, ballerinas and sandals in here.

Starting from left to right we have one of my favourite polishes from China Glaze called Solar Flare. You might have seen me use this before. It has gold particles that are medium to big in size, in a clear lacquer. For this product, it would be best if applied with a base colour underneath.

Moving on to a shade that I have actually blogged about, a while ago. The so originally named Purple from Leciel Paris. This is a perfectly balanced purple. Not too red, not too blue. I just love it!

Today I am going to share with you my new and improved makeup storage. Do you remember my nail polish storage post? I mentioned there that I had gotten a new organiser from IKEA for my cosmetics. 

So here is what it looks like now. I had to change my makeup drawer since the one organiser I purchased was too big to fit the one I was using. I moved my collection to another furniture from IKEA. In addition, I kept a grey organiser I bought from a book shop for my lip products.
