Thank you Glammy!!I read my less then fav blogger suggestions for makeup storage yesterday. I have the clear acrylic towers I got from eBay. They are the best. Each brand has it's own drawer and/or the cream blushes are in one drawer, the powder ones in another, Chanel e/s, Dior e/s, TF e/s, Chanel d'ombre, Armani e/s, etc. Mascara is lined up so I can see the end labels for the color in the flip top. I hate to stack my stuff in rows like you would files. Can't see what it is unless I flip through the stacks. For lipsticks I use a tray I got from Frontgate, with sections for each color group. I have another Frontgate 2 drawer with a top tray to hold my lip glosses, and the top to hold my various foundations and brushes I rarely use. It also has a tray with 12 holders for lipsticks which can be removed. My brushes I use all the time I use the Trish McEvoy snap cases. One for eye brushes and one for face brushes. Yes, I have different brands of brushes stuck in together. I have a thing about dust and brushes I use everyday. My OCD is showing.....
Those acrylic boxes are just great and very pragmatic but I hate the way they look

I live in a house built in 1928, closets, what are those???? Plus it hides any new family members quite nicely. If I had a closet the size of a bedroom, sure use something else. But in 1928 I don't think the builder was thinking of the future makeup addict.....just building a house on the lake for summer.I read my less then fav blogger suggestions for makeup storage yesterday.

Thank you so much Mango. I do enjoy the Seductive Rose quad. It's not my favorite of all of my TF quads but I
really do like it. I've paired it with shadows from my Orchid haze quad on occasion. I took it out when I read
your question and was surprised that I have indentations in both the pink & burgundy shadows, which attracted
me to this palette. I don't reach for it often enough------product overload is real!!!

What's your favorite quad? I was first eyeing Orchid Haze, but some reviews said that the purple shade blends away into nothingness and then I started looking at Seductive Rose and it just looks so beautiful. I'm really feeling like I need some purple shadows. I'm getting rid of my Dior Stylish Move because I hate the application so much and I would just love an easy to use purplish palette. Are the glitters consistent with the usual TF quality? THANK YOU!!!!!!

My fav TF paletes are not in the purple family---Burnished Amber and Cognac Sable are my true loves. I did not have that blend-away-to-nothing experience with OH.
I also have Crushed Amethyst & Violet Dusk, both of which have burgundy & purple. I don't know if they're still available---I've had them for quite some time.

Do you have Silvered Topaz? Is it a good neutral pallete for work friendly looks? I'm just scared that it would be too cool toned. I don't like cool greyish eyeshadows, I look a little tired when I use them (maybe because I amSounds like my doggie could ride your's.
