Makeup Collection/Storage

By icyabstract · March 3, 2009 · 22 Comments ·

I figured since I spend like 9 hours or so a day at work sitting infront of a computer with access to the internet, why not upload videos during this time, right?
After all I've got ample time to let the video upload, so no more staying up at night just to upload videos anymore.

Alright, now to the point of this entry, my makeup collection/storage.
This had been requested quite a number of times on youtube and such so I've finally decided to get my parent's handy digital camera out and take a quick video. On top of that, I've also taken some photographs of my stash, however these photos were taken like a month or so after I've made that video so these pictures are a little more updated then the video is.

To see the video, click the link below:

And I know my stash isn't too big and I don't have all the fancy brands and stuff. Most importantly, I'm only showing my collection on here and youtube because it had been requested many times and I am not in any sense bragging or trying to show off. Just to get that straightened out.

So, on to the stash (:


The dresser. Not much of a mirror left but oh well. And not all drawers contain makeup of course.


My brushes. The face brushes on the outside and the eye brushes in that blue box.


MAC Brushes. Lol at the mummified 217. That's how I 'wrap' it when I'm not using it so it keeps it's shape


Other face brushes


Kabukis and Eyelash curler.


Eye/misc brushes in the blue box


Palettes, though from this lighting you can't see them too well.


Misc eye stuff, eye primers and mineral shadow samples


Gel and liquid liners. My MAC Powerpoint Liner is in here cause I use it everyday and it's easier to find.


Tier sets and some cream shadow/sticks


Foundations, concealers, makeup base etc.


Lipglosses


My lipsticks, lipliners and canmake lip concealers


Blushes, bronzers and highlights


Eyeliners, brow stuff and mascaras


Eyeshadow drawer 1


Eyeshadow drawer 2

 

So that's that. I didn't take the stuff out to photograph them individually because like I said, I'm not big on showing everything I have in detail but I understand some people might want to see an entire collection and photograph the shades/colors I own for review purposes so if you wish to see a sole collection like for example all my lip stuff photographed, simply request for it.

Thanks (:

Makeup Porn!!!

Look at all the stuffed drawers, esp the glosses, eyeshadows,liners... it would be fun to play with your stash. Haha.. Thanks for showing Smiling And "not much of a mirror left" is so LOL.

Do you share a room with your brother?

I wish I have a dresser!! I have broken so many mirrors cos I don't have a proper dresser and I place my mirrors wherever I happen to be doing my MU.

retail_therapy: Haha! Makeup porn, omg I love that phrase.
You're welcome Laughing out loud Yeah it started out like a full-length kinda thing where I can sorta see my attire in the mirror when I'm getting ready. Guess I can't now. Lol.
Yeap sadly I do. It's too much trouble to vacate the study room and move everything so oh well.
I hate my dresser area though. The light only comes from one side (the window) so I have to keep using a pocket mirror (and turn to face the window) to check if my makeup is even on both sides. Lol.

theguiltshow: I got them from a few places. I don't quite remember it all but I believe I got the one I have my eyeshadows and stuff in at Giant, a super market. The big grey one I have my foundation in was one I had for over 10 years already, I just relocated some stuff. haha.

clarachan: Yeap it's a Maybelline kabuki (: You can get it with a the purchase of their mineral foundation or blush. I wouldn't say it's the best in quality and all though.

Fiend: Haha, aw, it's alright. So long as your makeup does what it's meant to do (beautify you) it doesn't matter about the size Laughing out loud

Hi Sara! I just found your blog and am loving it! Smiling I know this post goes way back but I wld really love to know where you get those plastic 'sleeves' for your brushes? I am using brush guards but dont like it that my brushes can slide up and the bristles get caught in the netting & go haywire. :S

sleepyskies: Aw shucks I don't actually know to be honest since most of the drawers were purchased by my mom because she saw the mess I had created at my vanity. Lol. As for the plastic sleeves I got mine from brush sets since they came with it but I'm not sure where you can buy them from though, sorry!

Natisawesome: The plastic covers usually came with brush sets so i never bought them individually and wouldn't quite know where to find them, sorry about that!
