How I Organize My Collection (pic heavy)

I've been asked about showing my updated collection/how I organize everything. I won't go through piece-by-piece since it is constantly growing anyway (I'll leave that for my collection series), but I will show you how and where I stash everything. I am very quickly running out of space -- I have a very small room, so not only am I running out of storage space, but just space in my room, in general!

** The dividers are all from Dollarama


I know -- it's so cluttered. Half my brushes were just deep cleansed, so they were sitting on my desk drying and not pictured. I had JUST cleaned this area up -- it's normally even messier and more cluttered =(

I got the holder for my MAC palettes from Wendy -- they were originally holders for packages of pilot pens =P They fit in there PERFECTLY! There are eyeshadow and blush palettes in there and I am officially out of space for more =(


Everything in the little blue box is my "everyday" stuff that I reach for frequently.

No more space for lippies -- I've bursted one box before... and this one is about to blow....

The set of drawers I keep almost everything in (office depot -- which doesn't even exist anymore!~ wtf?)... and of course... my sleeping Phoebe ^_^

What sits on top of it all: skin care and necessities

Drawer 1: Face products
Powders/foundations/concealer/primer
(and for some reason... OCC lip tars)

Drawer 2: MSFs

Drawer 3: Blush

Drawer 4: Highlighters/Bronzers
NYX loose pigments/drugstore shadows
gift with purchase Clinique stuff

Drawer 5: Bases
Paint pots/gel liners/NYX jumbo pencils/mascaras

Drawer 6: Palettes/Quads

Drawer 7: MAC/NARS/MUFE potted shadows
MAC Pigments and glitters

Drawer 8: MAC Wipes/ELF/NYX

Drawer 9: Lashes
(a lot are stashed in boxes UNDER my vanity table)

Drawer 10: Extras/Misc.
Disclaimer: everything in this post was purchased by myself.

Coastal Scents: Camouflage Concealer Palette


I've been trying to build my kit (and believe it or not... part of my super mac haul does go into my kit) but have been having trouble finding foundation/concealer palettes as they are super expensive or just plain hard to find (I wanted the bobbi brown one, but i've never seen it in Canada)... and buying foundations/concealers individually just isn't ideal, especially if i have to travel with it in my traincase... so i was ecstatic when coastal scents introduced a concealer palette (that aren't tiny either) for only 16.95!


I haven't tried it on myself yet -- i just opened up the package, but i made some swatches and the consistency is very creamy and seems to dry to a nice matte/opaque finish.... needs to be set with powder for sure tho, as when i lightly run my finger across the swatches, the colour transfers easily (but feels powdery soft).... can't wait to use this palette!
