Ice Cube Tray storage and Big Collection Pics
It's been a year since I've last posted collection pics. My how things have changed since then.

I went on a shopping spree this past weekend... for ice cube trays! I love being able to easily access my makeup without digging around too much for it, so I thought I would share how I organize it all. Then I got carried away and took pics of the rest my collection too

All the ice cube trays I have:



My paint pots
Top row: Iris Eyes f/l (what I was hoping Nice Vice would be), Otherworldly, Stray Grey, Layin' Low, Perky
Bottom row: Electro Sky, Pharoah, Girl Friendly, Groundwork, Greenstroke



Most of my fluidlines (excluding my top favs, Blacktrack and Lithograph as well as Bobbi Brown Sapphire Shimmer and Galaxy)
Left row, top to bottom: Graphic Brown, Ostentatious, Macroviolet, Shade, Sweet Sage, Uppity
Right row, top to bottom: Frostlite, Brassy, Delineate, Non-Conformist, Royal Wink, Jadeeye



Other random stuff in a tray meant to make ice sticks: Formal Black 2006 Warm and Smokey, random 4-pan of Body Shop Eye shimmers, Fashion Frenzy, Afterdusk, Hipness, Sephora Blush Me in Rose



Lipglasses, glitter liners, and lippies, all in an Ikea ice cube tray (which I ended up not using in the end, but hey, it may work for you!)

Row 1 (starting from left), top to bottom: Snowgirl, Cultured, Crystal Rose, Magnetique, Flashmode, Palatial, Totally It, Venetian, Pure Vanity
Row 2: Boldheart, Atmospheric, Jewelbright, Sex Ray, Pink Patina, Electro-Lush, Lust, Spite, Spirited
Row 3: Bronzibar, Entice, Flashtronic, Oh Baby, Revealing, Nymphette, Perfectly Pink, Fancy That, Petit Four
Row 4: Ignite, Lovin it Light, Topper, Bronze & Brazen, Most Wanted, Mousse
Row 5: Make Up store Choco Lux, Body Shop blue, Body Shop silver, Blitzed, Lime Dandy
Row 6: Paramount, Satiate, Cherish, Blast o Blue, High Top, Fun n Sexy
Row 7: Clinique Raspberry Glace, Clinique Maple Sugar, Lady Danger, Russian Red


Woops, forgot a to take a pic of the tray with MSFs and powders, but I have to say it's the one that inspired me to buy more trays, since I keep them organized from darkest to lightest, I pretty much have their positions memorized.




All of my collection, some of which I reorganized since the batch of ice-cube tray pics, after I figured out how to maximize my space:


All I have space for on my vanity: Eye brush cup, Loose Powder in NC15, Sunspill Beauty Powder, Hundred Degrees Pearlizer, 181SE, Face brush cup


All my brushes neatly washed for pics:
L-R:
Sephora #16 powder
Sephora #3 bronzer
188
187SE
129SE
190SE
168SE
209SE
219SE
316SE
266SE
239SE
275SE
252SE
217SE
212SE
194SE
208
231
222
Sephora #19
Sephora #20

And since Valentine's Day just passed, a closeup of my Lovestone, how very a propos ~


The powders/MSFs I forgot to take a tray pic of:
Clockwise from Sculpt and Shape: Accentuate/Sculpt, Warmed, Northern Lights, Shimpagne, Lightscapade, MSF Natural in Medium Dark, Gold Spill, not pictured is Blot Powder in Medium


The lippie holder I ended up going with:
The names listed earlier in the red Ikea tray


Rest of the random stuff, some in a plastic sock and underwear organizer:

MAC stuff:
Brush Cleaner
Concealer palette in medium
Dig It Eye Khol
Heirloom Eye Kohl
Lightful Protective Moisturizer SPF 30 (Asia only)
Lip Conditioning Stick
mini Fix+
mini Strobe Cream in Peach
Prep + Prime Refined Zone (Asia only)
Plushblack mascara
Redd lipliner
Spice lipliner
Strobe Cream
Select Foundation in NC30
Studio Moisturecover in NW20
Studio Finish NC35

not pictured:
Gently Off Eye and Lip
mini Cleanse Off Oil in Tranquil

I have virtually no counter space on my tiny vanity, so the rest of my stuff has to live in a fabric Ikea box underneath. I carry this whole thing from my bedroom to the den to play with in front of the TV when I need to destress


Phew, that took about 2 hours of my life. Hope you enjoyed and I think I'll wait for another year before I attempt this again.

Re: Ice Cube Tray storage and Big Collection Pics
I LOVE the storage ideas!! I find I'm starting to have a few msfs and blushes and laying them down takes up quite a bit of space in these plastic drawers I have. I love it!!! And the lip storage thing too--way to go!
