My Makeup Table

Happy March! I recently reorganized my makeup table and I thought I would share with you what it looks like and how I keep it organized. I will follow up with a post on my blogging table. I apologize for the dark photos but today there was no sunlight as it was snowing and cloudy. Oh these wonderful winter days! 



This is my makeup table :) It is actually a computer table with green fabric draped over it. I have decorated it with fake flowers, and my Eiffel Tower shaped jewelry stand (a gift from my brother). I also have some books which I take makeup inspiration from, and little candle holders that I use for my earrings.

This is a green plastic organizer I picked up from the Dollar Tree.  I really love the neon green colour because it reminds me of spring and it matches my green fabric. It has 3 different sections which are perfect for my brushes and make them much easier to find and manage. In the back section I keep my hair styling products. I separate my face brushes from my eye brushes just because I prefer the way it looks (great reason I know).  

I also obviously keep my makeup bag on the table. I only keep the products that I am wearing everyday in my makeup bag. The rest I keep on my blogging desk in my acrylic cosmetic organizer. I will do a separate post on what is in my spring makeup bag.

Next I have a super cute Greek inspired bowl, which I keep my current nail polishes, lip sticks, and extra mascaras in. As well as a bunch of candle holders in which are my earrings and Q-Tips. I like using decorative candle holders to hold all my basics. 


This is the box that I got a Christmas mug in but it was so cute I had to use it. I think it is a great way to disguise clutter. I store a lot of my lip sticks and lip glosses that I haven't worn in a while or are not in season. 


I'll leave you with this picture of the Disney princesses who inhabit my desk.

New Year's Eve Makeup: Kim Kardashian Style

New Year's Eve is the perfect day/night to sport sparkling silver eye makeup, and who better to look to than Kim Kardashian. Eyes: 1. Prep your eye with a base.

For today's Fab February post I thought I would post my makeup wishlist in honour of "Wishful Wednesday".... Yes, I just made that up.... Basically this post is of all the beauty related products that I would like to purchase or try in 2014. Kind of an odd post, but I have read a number of posts like this and I have always found them a useful forum. So if you have tried any of these products or have products that you want to try out in 2014 feel free to comment! 1. Nars Laguna Bronzing Powder . I have heard so much about this bronzer and I think that after my Too Faced Chocolate Soleil Bronzer runs out this will be my next bronzer purchase. 2. Clinique Cheek Pop Blush in Plum Pop.

Urban Decay Naked 2 Palette. I am already in love with the original Naked Palette, and I just kn...
