my own stash and storage

i'm posting this first to possibly inspire any other collectors of makeup on ways to store it all, and secondly to hold myself accountable in pictures of the amount of makeup i have hoarded, hopefully before i buy anything new i can at least look back at this pics and maaaayybe resist another purchase.

my home is small so i've always been very organized, and i rather like putting things in their place (i am the only one in the family like this however

)

so here we go:

jewelery armoire (from target), but i keep makeup in it, its tall and slender and fits just between the sink vanity and the bathtub in my very tiny bathroom:

brushes need cleaning...someday:

top drawer of the sink vanity (about 10 years ago, ALL my makeup fit in just this little drawer

):

next are the pics of the drawers of the tall jewelry armoire, top to bottom:
stuff i use every day in the top drawer:

lipsticks and way too many mascaras:

variety of eyeshadows:

more lipsticks

some e/s pallettes:

fluidlines and other eye stuff:

more eyeshadow and toofaced quickies:

ummm...but there's more....

there was makeup overflow, and i had it crammed in hatboxes and a traincase. but with it smushed away and not readily visible i never used much of it. soooo, i bought this jewelry armoire from pier 1 imports and its in the other available space in my bathroom.....sigh, now, i really do have a chance to actually possibly eventually use everything at least once a year.

armoire #2 closed:

top open, milani and mac eyeshadows:

nyx,ulta,etc eyeshadows in the next drawer:

lipglasses and slimshines,a few other lipstuff:

blushes,beauty powder/bronzer compacts:

more foundation, my skin seems to change so much im always using a different kind:

bottom drawer, makeup bags, the plastic container contains miscellaneous makeup, mostly more eyeshadow:

thanks for looking!

i suck at picture taking....but here's the last, this is ummm, the jewelry armoire that actually holds jewelry in my bedroom, just outside of the bathroom of makeup...when i have time (rarely), i sit here to put on my makeup

an overflow of junk jewlery necklaces (love them!) hang on a tie rack:

and this last thing (a desk organizer) in the bedroom holds all my eye and lip pencils:

NOW, im done
