This is where my make up lives. I'm sure there's something living at the back. This is the result of my shoving envelopes and boxes in there without actually bothering to unpack anything. As a result, I couldn't find anything! If I needed to find that one Coastal Scents palette I wanted to photograph, or that one Fyrinnae sample to wear today, I had no chance.
Something had to be done!
Staples sell something pretty cool called The Really Useful Box. I've used these to store my make up for years. They come in a range of sizes and stack up. After work one night I went and raided the storage section of Staples. I came home with a few of the 5 litre boxes (these are the ones with the picture of shoes on the inside) and some 1.6 litre boxes. The 5 litre size also works well for nail polish. I already had one filled with all my polishes. It's tall enough for OPI and China Glaze.
I don't think I have enough boxes!!
In progress! This method clearly required pyjamas and fuzzy socks. The open box is filled with Coastal Scents stuff. I had no idea that much was hiding in there! In the end, it filled that one box.
It's all done! Now I can actually find stuff. The bottom box on the right is filled with Coastal Scents, the one above it has quite a bit of unused MAC that was lurking at the back of the cupboard. The boxes on the left contain various mineral brands (including a full one of Aromaleigh!) and I gathered up all the mascaras I haven't reviewed yet. When I just shoved envelopes in the cupboard, I had no idea just how much Aromaleigh I'd managed to acquire.
