So those who know me know of my addictions. It's better than most but still a real issue. Hello. my name is Whitney and I'm addicted to makeup! Now let me clarify, its not one of those things that I am addicted to having to WEAR the makeup all the time because lord knows I leave the house plenty either without makeup on or my makeup looking like a hot mess. I am addicted to purchasing and trying all makeup. I love a good bargain and I will try anything once (twice to make sure I didn't like it). So I have my makeup sites that I love to stalk to see new products and sales...majority of all of my makeup was bought from 2 places: ELF (eyeslipsface.com) or cherryculture.com. I have pretty much everything from ELF that you can purchase. I LOVE that site and their products. Everything is $1, $3 or $5 depending on the product lines. So of course I was sold right away!
But anyways I bought and refurnished a desk for a makeup vanity so last night I reorganized my makeup and storage so I decided to take pics and show my collection (my baby) to the world...I'm very proud to say I have enough for at least 4 teenage girls...you'll see!
Enjoy!! xoxo whit

BEFORE
I bought this on Craigslist for $20 and paid about $30 in supplies
AFTER
So for about $50 I was able to have a super cute, super girly makeup vanity!
(sorry about the pic quality, light in the corner washed it out slightly)
These are little mesh office bowls I guess you would call them. I keep them on the right corner. They hold all of my loose glitter and "MAC" pigments. I bought them from Ebay for .99 cents and yes I knew they were fake...I'm not dumb but they are amazingly beautiful and great quality so well worth it!
On the left corner I keep all of my brushes and my eyeliner pencils that I use daily.
Drawer #1- Foundation
I have a large collection of drug store and online foundations.( bottom right) Being so pale makes it hard to find a color to really fit my shade so I have to switch out frequently. Then I have my concealers and color correctors..same goes with finding a good color and coverage for my dark circles. (upper right) And lastly I have face primers and some loose face sponges.
Drawer #2- Face
Face powders (left) & blushes (right) These blue containers fit perfectly into the drawers and made it so much easier to organize.
Drawer #3- Lips
I have WAY too much lip stuff considering I use it maybe once a day then leave the house and never use it again. Bottom left is all lipsticks, right side is lip gloss tubes and upper left is lip liners and taller lip glosses and lip primer.
Drawer #4- Eyes
This drawer has backup eye liners,eye brow powders and gel, mascara, eye lasher curlers, pencil sharpeners and eye shadow primer.
Drawer #5- Bases
This is a variety of cream bases I use to make the eye shadow pop and stay during the day. On the right is bronzers and luminators.
Drawer #6 is not filled yet. Not sure what I want to do yet.
Before the desk I just use a 2 shelf bookshelf with decorative photoboxes that you can buy from Hobby Lobby or Gordmans. Now they hold all of my eyeshadows and over flow..
This is a dish holder that has slits to hold the palettes upright. In this pic there are approximately 12 palettes.
In this tub, I have all of the ELF palettes except for the 3 large ones. Probably about 17 palettes in here. All eyeshadow.
More random eyeshadow palettes.
All of the ELF studio line single eyeshadows.
LA Colors. Bought them all from Cherry Culture. Very cheap but pretty great quality surprisingly.

Misc loose pigments and eyeshadows. In the top white bin is ELF pigments and matte shadows.
Bottom view of same box. MAC eyeshadows.
Bottom right is left over lip stains and glosses. The rest is Amuse eyeshadow palettes or singles. Most are matte and pretty good...great find!
Misc drugstore eye shadow palettes.
Left is ELF mineral eyeshadows. Right is ELF duo eyeshadows and cream.
Box full of extra products.

Right is ELF $1 eyeshadow quads ( they are what started it all!) Left is homemade face primer and eye liner.
