Updated: How I currently store my makeup

Hey guys! Back in January, I took everyone through my entire, well majority of my makeup collection. I showed how I used to store my makeup. You can see that original post here. I had everything stored in my empty Birchboxes. It was working for a while until I went to two makeup shows and I didn't have a place for everything! As I was cleaning one day, I saw that had this tall storage bin with stuff that I don't even use anymore and thought it would be a great place to store all my makeup and still have it organized. Here is a picture of where my makeup is currently stored.



I believe I purchased this 7 drawer unit at Walmart years ago and glad I kept it! It has come in handy. I'll take you through what is in each drawer. I'll start with the top of the unit where all my brushes, setting sprays (that I haven't used yet lol), OCC lip tars( I couldn't find anything to store them in but that red cup lol. I'll have to decorate it later.) and other items are.



In the first drawer, I put all of my primers for my face and eyes, setting powders, concealers, powder foundations, BB creams and Tinted Moisturizers. 


In the second drawer are all of my eyeliners including pencil, gel and liquid liners, mascaras and brow products.


The third drawer contains all blushes, bronzers and highlighters.


Next in the forth are most of my eyeshadows. Didn't realize I had so many!! The swatches of all my MAC shadows are coming very soon!!


The fifth one has all lip products including lipsticks, lip glosses, lip liners, lip pencils and lip crayons.


In the sixth one is the rest of my eyeshadows that couldn't fit in the other drawer, lashes, pigments, glitters, and extra lip glosses. 


And lastly are all the palettes that I have!



I'm so surprised that everything fit in here! I was so happy to get this organized and I think I'm all set with makeup for a while lol! Didn't realize I had so much of it. It should motivate me to use it more often. Let me know if there anything you would like to see swatches of or a review on. How do you currently store your makeup? Do you have a lot of it like I do? Comment below and let me know!!

    I have a very simlilar setup! I have 2 of the smaller 3 drawer storage things with an mini 3 drawer one on top of the other two. I have a large vanity/dressing table that they sit on. Then one of my vanity drawers olds some hair stuff like elastics etc and the other drawer holds all my palettes. I must admit, the drawer is packed to the max and I need to empty out the other side for more palettes lol

      Thank you Pilar! I really like both VS bronzers I have. I dropped one of them and have to fix it. They're not too shimmery and give a nice glow.

    I have my makeup in some acrylic containers (3 drawers) but I definitely need something a bit bigger and where I can see everything...

    Your makeup storage is almost identical to the one I had before I upgraded! I also kept my brushes and other things on top of the storage units haha. You have a great makeup collection! I spot a MAC RiRi Hearts palette in the last drawer. I also bought one from that collection and it's still a favorite. :)

Sometimes its hard.....

You know when you keep thinking of something and you just feel like you have to get it out? That was me before sitting down to write this post. I had something else planned to write but I kept thinking...sometimes its hard and it just evolved from there. We all heard the sayings, life isn't fair, life is hard and so on. Sometimes life can be hard but we don't experience it for long. There are so many things that I want to do but I know I can't do a million things at once. I can't just pick and go anymore, I'm someone's parent now. There are times I want to but I know things have to be planned out now. I will get to those place I want to go, just have to be patient and plan it out. It seems like we focus so much on what is hard about life that we forget about the easy stuff. We forget sometimes about all the good things that happen and to be grateful for getting through those rough patches. You may not like your living situation but you have a roof over ...

On a personal note....Update on Blogging and Personal Goals

Happy Football Sunday!! I hope everyone has been enjoying the weekend and getting ready to celebrate Thanksgiving!! I can't believe it is this week! I can't wait to spend time with family! I thought about giving an update to the personal and blogging goals I set for myself last year with the Resolute Beauty Blogger series. You can check out my results post  HERE!!  I completed this in May of this year so let's see how I've been doing since then. Blogging Goals 1. Attend A Blogging Event- Since then I have not attended another event. I was so happy when I did find my one event to attend. I have been keeping in contact with those bloggers I met and reading their blogs. I have been finding events but there are scheduling conflicts. I hope to find another one very soon. 2. Set A Blogging Schedule- I am still sticking to my Sunday, Thursday and every other Friday schedule. It has been really working with my hectic schedule I already have. 3. Change Up Current Style-...

Taking a break.......

On Tuesday I did mention that I had some exciting news to share. I have been working part time for a while and searching like crazy for full time work. I was starting to get a little frustrated but never gave up. Well a full time opportunity came up at my current job and I am now full time status!!! I was just so overjoyed and thankful. I will have a more stable income, I can go back to school and start to make some moves. Then I started to get a little overwhelmed. How was I going to juggle being a full-time working mom, grad student, blogger and balance everything else. It has been a while since I had a full time schedule and based my blogging schedule around my days off during the week. I start my full time hours next week and just need to take a small break away from Naturalle Drea. I really didn't want to because I love this so much but I need to see how to handle everything. I will most likely change my blogging schedule around. Thank you to those who have been encouraging to...
