The absolute first thing I bought when we moved was this lovely desk (£10 from ikea! ) I haven't had a home for my makeup for a while and the idea of a dedicated place to sit and put it on literally made me squeal with excitement!
The mirror was a Christmas present from my mam (also a bargain £20 from Asda) and is the perfect size, so no more straining to fit my whole face into a small compact mirror yay. I already had the little Perspex drawer unit, it was a jewellery box from marks and spencer about 6 years ago, I'm always ahead of the curve me! It now holds all my flat items like blushers and eye shadow palettes and my gorgeous daisy by marc Jacobs and secret wish by Anna Sui on top, these are two of my favourite perfumes ever but I do have a few more that haven't been unpacked yet so ill have to remember to rotate the best ones.
I love my little cotton wool jar I bought it from Matalan for £2 it had lots of mint humbugs inside which Phil is now enjoying and the label peeled off really easily, practical and pretty what more do you want eh!
Finally my actual pride and joy, the amazing cupcake stand from dotcomgiftshop (£8 in the sale from £26!) On the top I have a glass saved from an old Yankee candle now storing all my lip products, the middle is all my skincare products and the bottom has the rest of my make up and brushes some of the smaller bits are in cheap glasses to avoid falling through the gaps in the metal. I haven't got a huge collection although I do have a huge wishlist so as it grows I will probably end up moving the skincare elsewhere and taking over that shelf too!
Hope you like my lovely dressing table (I'm not sure that anyone cares as much as I do about things like this but maybe you do!)

I love your make up storage! That cupcake stand is so cute, I think I need one of those :) xxx
ReplyDeleteI have the same cake stand and use it for storing my nail varnishes! I love Matalan for nice jars and really must go there again. Last time I went I picked up a plain glass one for holding Lush bath bombs, but your one is lovely and I've decided I need it! x
ReplyDeleteI love the cupcake stand its such a clever idea xx

I love your idea of storing your makeup on the cake stand! It's beautiful and looks really inventive and unique :) I'll also definitely be hunting down a couple of those sweet jars in Matalan!
