This Weekend

This weekend I intend to go for a long walk in the snow (if it actually arrives that is!!) and clean and sort my vast makeup collection.  I have so many eyeshadows, lipglosses etc it's quite ridiculous...and there are definitely some clagged up mascara wands in there that need to go!

 

I know it sounds clichéd but since turning 30 I feel like I've really found my groove ; I know what suits me (and what doesn't!).  I've learnt to streamline my makeup and my wardrobe, and as a result I've had a major clothing shake up selling heaps on ebay.  Now it's time to turn to my makeup boxes and be ruthless!

I'm going to use these Pinterest pics as inspiration.......

I particularly like the hair bobbles in the glass jar...I have bobble and clips all over the house!

I'm a big fan of The Beauty Department website; it's a great source for skincare, makeup, hair and nail ideas and tips. 

When I saw this post last week I wanted to go home and have a go myself right away!

I currently keep my nail polishes in boxes in a drawer under our bed.  They are neatly organised in old Glossy Box boxes (their boxes are brilliant for makeup storage, and very pretty).  However, I can't see the colours without pulling out the bottles one by one...and when you have as many shades as I do, this can be rather time consuming!

 

So off I set this weekend armed with white sticky labels and my heart hole punch, painting and punching til every bottle had it's own label topper.

 

ta-da here is the end result!
