current makeup

Wednesday 6 February 2013

I'm always moving and changing up my makeup storage. I'm never fully satisfied unless I find a mess free way of doing it. Over the past few weeks, I've done a lot of clearing out and organising my room so I hit up TK Maxx and I found this storage tin. I loved the vintage-y effect of it so I thought it would be a great way of storing the makeup that I currently use. Lets delve inside...





  • Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua Foundation: I'm currently rationing this foundation so I can save up enough Boots points to purchase another one. One of my favourite foundation and is so light to wear.
  • Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation: You can read my full review of this foundation here. I love this foundation for daytime use. Great coverage and it's so inexpensive as well.
  • MAC Lustre Drops - Pink Rebel: Amazing liquid highlighter. I like using it in the Spring/Summer time especially for that extra bit of glow. You can read my full review of this product here.
  • Garnier Roll On: For those mornings where I've only had 5 hours sleep. Wakes up the under eye really well but if you're looking for a full coverage under eye concealer, this probably won't manage to do the job.
  • Revlon Just Bitten Balm Stain - Honey: You never hear much about these nowadays do you? It's like they came and went as quickly as people were churning out their reviews. I still love mine, mainly for the fact it smells minty.
  • Topshop Cream Blush - Flush: One of my favourite cream blushes of all time. Love this in the Summer months.
  • Rimmel Eyebrow Pencil: For eyebrows. 
  • HD Brows Palette: I got this in a Glossybox AGES ago. I didn't like using it at first because it was in the completely wrong colour for me but I use the darkest colour with a light hand and it's fills in my brows quite nicely.
  • NARS Cream Blush - Penny Lane: Current blush love! It was on my wishlist for a very long time and with my very first paycheck, I popped this into my basket and skipped happily away :)
  • MAC Quad - Quarry, Naked Lunch, Satin Taupe, Vanilla: My most used MAC eyeshadows. I hit pan on three shades so I pretty much use them whenever I wear eyeshadow. Don't quote me on the last shade though, I can't quite remember what the name of it is.
  • Majolica Majorca Cream Eye Pencil: One of my best finds in HK. I probably won't buy another brand of pencil eyeliner after using this!
  • Maybelline 24 hour Colour Tattoo - On and On Bronze: My lazy day must have. One swipe of this on my eyelids and I'm ready to go!
  • MAC Painterly Paint Pot: I use this mainly as an eye base before apply any eyeshadow. Acts as a great eye primer if you're not into the more liquid eye bases.
  • Maybelline The Falsies Mascara: Been testing the waters of this mascara and I'm not quite sure how I feel about it yet. The jury is still out on this one!
  • Shu Uemura Eyelash Curler: My eyelashes are typical Asian eyelashes so this is an amazing eyelash curler that actually does what it is meant to do. 
I rarely switch up my makeup. I have the 'use up what you already have before buying any more' mentality so this little makeup kit does me quite nicely!

What are your current makeup products?

  1. I love your storage tin it's adorable :)! I love my Honey Balmstain, still wear it all the time. Current most used is probably my Rimmel Liquid Liner. Quick black flick is my fast route to feeling "done" :) x

    1. I wish I could pull of liquid liner, I have really wonky eyelids but I admire those who can pull off an amazing eye flick :)

    1. I love the muji drawers! I wish I had enough space to store them though. Surprisingly, I actually have photos for the blush review but I just keep putting it off! I'll definitely do it though *notes in notebook* :D

    1. It serves me well! I really don't see the need to have so much makeup, I don't wear it enough to justify having so much.

  5. Aw this is the cutest way to store makeup! I remember enjoying the effect of The Falsies although it did flake and clump like crazy on me x

    1. I'm not liking the major smudge factor of the mascara after a couple of hours, plus like you said, it's kinda flaky. Yeh, made up my mind. :) I don't like it.

  6. I love your make up storage! I seem to have acquired so many products I'm beginning to feel a little overwhelmed every time it comes to put my make up on, I'm going to take a leaf out of your book & use what I have before buying more! <3

  7. When I initially commented I clicked the "Notify me when new comments are added" checkbox and now each time a comment is added I get three emails with the same comment.
    Is there any way you can remove people from that service? Thanks a lot!
