So with it being the start of a new year, and my also having moved into a new flat, I thought I’d share with you my makeup collection & storage! And also do a bit of a stock take, so that at the end of the year I can make a comparison and see how my collection is getting on!
My makeup is stored in the IKEA Alex 5 drawers and the acrylic organisers are from Amazon! My lipsticks are stored on my desk top, in acrylic drawers… also from Amazon. I really like how my makeup is set up in my current flat and I can’t wait to see how my collection develops in this new space!
Please note, these photos were taken at the end of December, and I have since added in the things I got from my advent calendars, so the numbers do differ slightly from the photos… but do let me know if you want any details on anything!
Face Base Products
Drawer one has face base products in it… so we’re talking foundations, primers, concealers, powders and one lonely setting spray! I think my collection here is pretty reasonable! I have a smaller selection of complete favourites! And to be fair to myself, I feel like I really do rotate through these products…!
Primers – 5
Foundations – 5
Concealer – 6
Powder – 4
Setting Spray – 1
Face Powder Products
I love a good bronzer, blush, highlighter or face palette and this is where they all live! I am loving my collection of these and am really finding myself rotating through everything I own! They’re all so beautiful and this is the part of my collection I’m really enjoying growing… but, as you can see, I’m quickly running out of space!
Bronzer – 7
Blush – 10
Highlighter – 7
Face Palettes – 10
The Eye Drawer
This is the drawer I’ve never quite known how to organise but I’m definitely getting there! We have mascaras, brow products, face tools (if you see what I mean), eyeliners, some of my mini eyeshadow palettes and of course my nail polish! Another part of my collection that I feel hasn’t got completely out of control and I love everything in here!
Mascara – 8
Eyebrow Products – 5
Mini Palettes – 3
Cream Eyeshadow – 1
Eyeliners – 15
Nail Polish – 16
Eyeshadow & Lipstick
Oh hey. The part of my collection that has seriously gotten out of control. But they’re also my passions in life! I love playing with eyeshadow and mixing up my lipsticks on the daily and I LOVE my collection! But I know it’s a lot, and I’m sure it’ll probably end up growing, but meh!
Eyeshadow Palettes – 32
Lipsticks – 27
Lip Pencils – 10
Liquid Lipsticks – 21
Hope you enjoyed a little deep dive into my collection! As always, I know its a lot, but it’s what I love to do!

Wow you have a great collection! And we have the same drawers haha. Loved seeing your eyeshadow palettes 😊
Hahaha they’re just a classic drawer!
Oh I so wish I was this organized. I use pill bottles to store my eye liner in (embarrassing!)
hahaha! if it works it works?! x
I love your collection and mostly how good they look in the drawers! I will have to invest in some organisers too x
They do work out a lot, but it just felt like the right time for me! x
I seriously need to upgrade my makeup storage

I love this post! One of my favourite things is finding cute and fun ways to store my many make-up items and collection. Thank you for sharing x
Awww no problem! Thanks for reading x
I loved getting a look at your array of items and seeing how you organized your drawers. It is so nice to know exactly where everything is when you want that one item. 🙂
Your collection is way more manageable than mine. I love the way your organized everything and wish I could get mt hands on the Alex 9 drawers.
Aww thanks, I’m a bit of an organisation freak! haha x
I love make up and you have a wonderful collection. You have a whole lot of makeup and they are so organized! I loved looking at your face base products and I love Dior a lot. Great post x!

Beautiful and organized!

Awww thanks! x
Finding the perfect makeup storage solution took me forever so I fully relate to the satisfaction when you get it right. My makeup collection is the complete opposite, I have more foundations than anything else x

Aww thanks! x
Oh my goodness! your shadow palettes are goals! I’m not big on makeup but I hope to be one day. I’m embarrassed to say that all of my makeup was bought from the drugstore on sale/discounted haha The one thing I can’t live without though is falsies! Do you wear fake eyelashes? I didn’t see any xo

That’s ok! I bought most of mine in sales on Look Fantastic or Cult Beauty! haha
And I really can’t get on board with falsies, I really don’t know why! x
You have such a great collection of makeup! I love love love how well organized you are!
Awwww thanks! That’s so sweet! x
