Fun Makeup Storage

Makeup storage can be SO boring. just plain white sets of plastic drawers or worse just a box full of everything all getting lost. Here are a few more fun ideas to brighten up your makeup storage

Small Storage:

This is an adorable little hello kitty tin I found at TK MAXX. If you have just a small amount of makeup it's really good for just putting everything you need in. Its sits on your desk and looks so sweet :3

Here I've put just a few of my favourite items in so they're always on hand.

Another good use I found is to store my barry M dazzle dusts in. This would also work really well for MAC eyeshadows or pigments and glitters or any other brand of round eyeshadow of small pigment tubs. I also found it was good to fit nail polishes in, I got 14 average sized ones to fit.

The other thing I like is this rack, its supposed to be used as a letter organiser. but I find its great to fit palettes in!

Usually I just use it to hold the 88 matte/satin and shimmer palettes but I put two of my urban decay ones in too, just to see in they fit. Also sleek palettes work nicely

I got that at TK MAXX which I would really recommend if you're looking for fun storage, there's all sorts of cute boxes and drawers in thereand anything can be spiced up with a little creativity.

These for example were plain ones that I found in Asda (walmart) WhichI spiced up with a tissue paper flower and some cute sparlkly black butterflies I just stuck on.

In here I keep my eyeliners and bases, my mascaras brow stuff and tweezers, and my back up drawer.

Hopefully you found that helpful for ideas and tips on makeup storage ad how to make it fun. Because makeup should make you smile, and it cant do that if its all stuffed away in a drawer!

Lady Gaga Inspired Makeup

Hey all :)

this is something a bit different. Ive done a few reviews but never any actual makeup before...for all you know I've never worn any of the products Ive bought!

BUT...itsjudytime, a really lovely youtube makeup guru is holding a contest, giving away a pair of Lady Gaga headphones...now while I do like the Gaga, I could POSSIBLY live without her ....... the boyf however is obsessed... Yes he is straight (we think) but he likes nothing more than to dance around to Bad Romance every now and again. So with his birthday coming up I thought Id give her contest a try.

I had to create a look inspired by Lady Gaga...of course the first thing most people think of when they think 'Lady Gaga makeup' is that well known lightning bolt affair with the pink eyeshadow.

Of course the bolts are an important part of Gaga's style, but I wanted to make it a more interesting look, incorporating different aspects of her style.

This is the look I finally came up with:



The trademark lightning bolt has been laced with sliver glitter liner, showing that flashy 80s vibe she has going on. The red little lips are a nod to the old paparazzi video and the beautiful dirty rich video and of course the finer details such as the porcelain complexion, UBER contouring and long full brows are there to round it off

Im now going to bore you with a list of what was used:

Lighting bolt:

Urban Decay 24/7 liner in Zero
Urban Decay eyeshadow in Perversion (applied with a wet concealer brush)
Barry M Glitter Liner in Silver

Lippies:

MAC studiofinish concealer
Barry M lip pencil in Dark Pink
MAC Ruby Woo lipstick

Eyes:

Sleek 'Dip it' Eyeliner in Black
Lancome Hypnose Mascara

Face:
Barry M natural dazzle compact (contouring)
Maybelline Dream Satin Liquid
E.L.F under eye concealer and highlighter
MAC studiofinish concealer

and thats all :) not a lot, all very dupeable and VERy simple to do nut look really rather good if I may say so myself.

I hope you enjoyed this...whatever it was.

thankyou for reading :) xx
