Okay so I haven't posted since last JUNE! So I thought I'd do a post which I like reading about on other people's blogs/YouTube. Makeup collections!
Not that anyone will probably care, but I just want to say that I am NOT a professional AT ALL! This is just my pretty small collection of products that I use on myself (or that gather dust). I am in no way trying to show off, I just thought this would be fun.
Please excuse my crappy commentary under each photo!

The drawers I store my makeup in are from Officeworks. They are the clear Keji drawers and are $13.98 if I recall correctly. I have two sets - and they are stackable as you can see! They have three small drawers and one large one.
This is all of my beauty related stuff (minus hair products and a few different deodorants!)
On top of the drawers I store most of my moisturisers and perfumes and some palettes stored in file organisers. The palettes I have up here are 3 coastal scents (shimmer colour/matte colour/warm colour) and the Urban Decay Naked palette (original).
In the top drawer I keep all of my mascaras, eyeliners and fake lashes. As you can see this drawer mainly consists of drugstore products, but I have the occasional Stila Smudgepot and MAC Fluidline. Also... I have lots of unopened/unused things in this drawer! I rediscovered a few mascaras by doing this blog post!
Next, I keep my smaller eyeshadow palettes and single eyeshadows as well as my eyeshadow primers. This drawer consists of a mix of drugstore and high end palettes inc Nars, UD, Smashbox, Chanel, Dior, Stila and Sephora. Favourite high end would probably be Chanel Ombres (?) in Nymphea (unfortch discontinued!) and UD Jones. Favourite drugstore is the Maybelline Diamond Shine (I think it's called) in the orangey/bronzey shades.
This drawer has all of my 'face' products, minus foundations. So, blushes, bronzers, illuminators etc are all in here. In case you are wondering, the 3 NARS shades I have are Crazed, Orgasm and Luster.
I feel like this is my drawer of Sin. LOOK AT ALL THOSE FOUNDATIONS! I will NEVER get through them all! Holy mother. And hidden up the back there are TWO unopened MAC foundations. One Studio Fix Powder in C4 and the Studio Fix fluid in NW25. I was matched in store to NW25, but it oxidises like crazy and makes me oompa loompa ish. My powder colours I have are NW25, NC25 (2 of those!) NC30 (opened but unused) and C4. I don't know what it is about my skin but it sure seems to fluctuate! Sometimes the NWs look way too pink so I use an NC, sometimes NC looks awful and NW looks best.
Now, my Lips drawer. Probably the product I have least of. I am useless at applying lipstick. Absolutely useless. So, I just have a random collection of lip products I've accumulated over the years. Only one real high end lipstick there, Chanel Rouge Coco Hydrating Lip Colour (phew!) in Teheran. As I suck at applying it, I tend to go for drugstore products so I don't waste my money! Oh, oops, just spotted a YSL Golden Gloss there too. That's high end. These are very nice.
This drawer is full of my eye brushes. Stila, Sigma, Ecotools are the main brands I have. Along with Priceline cheapies.
Here are all my 'Face' brushes. Not a very extensive collection as you can see. Favourites here are the small Ecotools kabukis. I use one for buffing liquids, and the other to buff my Studio Fix. Traditional foundation brushes pale in comparison!
Here are all my nailpolishes. Lots of them are Ulta3 and BYS which I find are both excellent as long as you use a top coat!
So, there you have my makeup collection. Nothing impressive, just thought I'd put it out there!

Hmm, personally - finally in my last semester of UNI! Yay! Nothing much else is new.
EM.
