A small makeup haul

Not really been shopping for aaaaaages, as I am trying to be good with my money. But let's face it, that couldn't last forever, and on Saturday I decided to treat myself to some makeup goodies that I have been lusting after for while :)

NARS powder blush in Sex Appeal - gorgeous soft peach colour, which suits my ultra pale (!) winter skin perfectly (£20.50).

Bobbi Brown gel eyeliner in Granite Ink - I love the gel liners from BB. They are super easy to work with and lasts ALL day (£15.50).

Models Own nail polishes (3 for 2 offer on in Boots) in Nude Beige, Utopia and Blooboo - Never tried Models Own before and fancied some new polishes. These colours appealed to me instantly (£10.00).

Did you haul this weekend? :)

NARS Penny Lane

This is my favourite blush of the moment!

This nude pink cream blush is absolutely gorgeous on my (now) winter pale skin. It is so creamy and easy to blend, it works as a blush on its own or as a base for a powder blush, and it gives me natural and healthy looking glowy skin. New FAVOURITE!!!

And I use this brush from Sephora to apply my dear Penny Lane:

#45

Together they are magic :D

What is your current go-to blush?

A must-have!

NARS Sweet Disposition Set

A collection of three mini multiples for eyes, lips, and cheeks.

Shades:

♥ Orgasm – Peachy Pink With Shimmer

♥ Luxor – Iridescent Pink

I know it's a mini set, but 3 multiples should last you a while, and for just £32...amazing deal!!!

Somebody please give me this for Christmas... :)

Updated makeup storage using my new MUJI drawers!

I owe you all a HUGE thank you for your tips on my Blogger Help post the other day.

A lot of people told me to go and look at the MUJI website, and sure enough there they were, the storage drawers that I have been hunting for!

I tracked down the shop (in the Trafford Centre, for those of you living near Manchester)

and purchased a set of 4 double drawers (£7.95 each).

I am SO happy with them, but of course I waaaaaaaay underestimated the amount of drawers I need to house all of my makeup, so I need to take another trip to MUJI and buy some more soon :)

Anyway, for now I am using the clear drawers for my everyday/go-to makeup of the moment,
as it is so easy to find and organise.

Some pictures:

Now I just need to buy drawers enough to store all of my blushes, which are still kept in the old box...

And the remaining face and eye products that I don't normally use on an everyday basis...

I will probably need another 5-6 double drawers :D

How do you store your makeup?
