My new storage sollution (half finished) UPDATE!
UPDATE MAY 24

Ok, so I finally got my chest of drawers 2 days ago, and I managed to put it together all by myself! This is how the final result looks:





Inside the top drawer. My boyfriend's stuff is at the bottom right corner, the rest is mine


Makeup section:


Brushes and stuff!


---------------------------------------

I went to Ikea today and bought some stuff I got the mirror (STAVE), the lamps (MUSIK), the plastic storage thingies (ANORDNA LYX), cups (VITSKÄR) and I also got some fabric boxes (KOMPLEMENT) that will fit into the chest of drawers that I'm going to buy but couldn't afford today (MALM). So until I can afford it, I'm using my old chest of drawers.

My mum's bf helped me install the lamps and put up the mirror. The cords won't be visible later when I've got the new chest of drawers, since it's 5 cm wider than the mirror on each side of it (80 cm, the mirror is 70 cm wide) and it's 100 cm high so it will end 10 cm under the mirror.

This is how it looks now:



as you can see, the cords aren't that pretty but they will be hidden behind the chest of drawers later. This is the chest of drawers I'm buying:



The plastic boxes will fit into the top drawer later, along with the four smaller boxes from the KOMPLEMENT set (I got it in black though):



I painted a picture of how it will look when its done =P



Close up of my stuff:



Right side drawer (this one has plastic lids with holes in them so that you can turn it into a lipstick/gloss stand, I don't own that many lippies yet though so I don't use them). It contains my foundations, primer, powder, concealer brow colour, lipstick, fluidline, pencil sharpener, lip butter, tweezers, eyeshadows, sponge and neutral/brown pigment samples:



The upper of the two left drawers. It contains blush, sculpt & shape powders, the rest of my pigment samples, q-tips and cotton pads:



The bottom drawer contains misc stuff that I rarely use:



The cups, with all my brushes in the left one and eyeliners, lipliners, mascara, lipgloss, udpp etc in the right one:



picture taken from the side:



sorry about the heavy ammount of pictures, I'm just so happy about my new stuff :P I will update once I've gotten the MALM chest of drawers!
