My Make-up Storage!

I am so sorry that I haven't made a post in a while! It was my birthday this week and I have been sooooo busy. I got quite a few beauty related presents so I may do a post to show you what I got (let me know in the comments if you would like to see that)! Anyway, I am going to try to keep my posts more consistent so I am going to post on Saturday evenings and then one day during the week! I still have one more review to do for my 'Hot Cloth Cleansers Face-Off!' and that will be published very soon.

I thought that I would do a post showing you my make-up storage as I am really proud of I and I would love to know what you think!
My bedroom is very small so it is extremely hard to find furniture for it. When I saw this 1950/60s fold-out table, I was so excited. My mum spent almost an hour ripping the skirting board off my wardrobe to try and get it in, but I think it was worth it because I absolutely love it!!! I bought it for the ridiculous price of £12 and It has a 'Vanson' label on it which I have never heard of. I can fold it out if I need more room and it has a shelf underneath for extra storage.

From left to right:

I have a ceramic celery pot which I found at my local car boot sale. I keep my hair brush and my nail files inside.
I have a ceramic owl plant pot which I also found at my local car boot sale. This stores all of my foundations.
I have one large and one small confiture jars. The first stores my mascaras, concealers and an eye primer. The next stores the majority of my make-up brushes. I bought these from the same shop that I bought my table from.
I front of my jars I have a little glazed ceramic owl which I keep my smaller eye brushes in. My mum surprised me and bought me this from the same curiosity shop and I love it!
Next is my jewellery box which was my Mum's Grandma's and my Great Nan's. I love it for its sentiment but also I love the fact that old-fashioned style jewellery boxes have come back and it can experience a whole new life of appreciation. I have a lot of jewellery which I have been given over the years but I am rubbish at wearing it!
On the end I have my latest purchase and probably my favourite piece! It has a mark on the bottom which says 'Flora Keramiek Gouda Holland' and it is a white vase with bright orange flowers and green leaves. This is where I keep my lip and eye liners. I spotted it yet again at my local car boot sale and before I had time to speak, my lovely Nana had scooped it up and said 'I'm buying that for you!' She's the best!
I also have a small magnifying mirror which my Nana also bought me ages and ages ago. I never thought I would use it because I wasn't into beauty at the time but it is so useful now. I also have my perfume and some perfume bottles that I have collected from local antiques fairs. The one in the middle is a vintage Avon one which is shaped like a pineapple! Finally, I have two pink and white spotted ceramic dishes which my Auntie bought me for my birthday one year. I keep my everyday make-up items in them like my powder, blush , primer etc.

On the shelf underneath I have two storage baskets from Argos. They come in a set of 3 and I also have the bigger ones and they are so useful. I keep my make-up bags and anything that I want to review in the one on the left and my lip balms and hand creams in the other one. I have an owl lunchbox in the middle where I keep taller bottles of toiletries and my owl hot water bottle is next to it (are you noticing a theme?)! I then have my deodorant and daily moisturiser and store some of my shoes and owl slippers!

The mirror at the top is a convex mirror which I got from my local car boot sale and my Mum painted cream. The mirror underneath was a flea market find and I just instantly fell in love with the shape. Oh, and I also have three owl key rings hanging on top! I also have the Mcfly boys looking down on my as I do my make-up!

This is the alcove above my bed and I have a retro radio which I picked up at a car boot sale. I also have a few mugs stacked purely for aesthetic purposes as I don't drink hot drinks! I then have a purple spray painted wicker bowl - which I will find a use for one day - and a green glass plate and bowl set. I keep all of my lip and powder products in this wicker set of draws which I found at another car boot sale and my Mum spray painted cream. The photos are 1950s French fashion photos which I picked up in Portobello Road market on my visit to London last year. The frames are cheap ones from The Range!

I put some scrap floral material in the bottom of the draws and I store all of my lip products in one and all of my powders in the other!
I hope this was inspiring and thank you so much for reading!
