Organizing your life... (kind of)


Hello fellows..

I know it's been quite a while since I last posted anything here buut.. I am gonna make it up to you with this extra helpful post.

Oh, summer. A three-month vacation for most of us but housework never seems to end, does it?
So, today we are going to talk about ways to store your things and how to leave behind those dark days of hoarding. Firstly, I will present you how I store mine and why have I opted for this method.

Just to be clear, this post is about storing your beauty products my ladies so in case you are looking for life saving tricks concerning your clothes or your work files, this post won't be that helpful. Shall we begin?


Those are my makeup boxes. Aka "The gates of paradise". 


 Being a perfectionist is a mixed blessing. When it comes to storing, this attribute will help you get the best results. I keep my beauty products in three different wooden boxes each of which is used for different things. The big one is used for my face products (such as foundations, bronzers, blushers etc.). The last two are used for my eyes products ( like eye palettes, mascaras, brow kits etc.) and for my lipsticks, respectively.



This is where I store anything that has to do with my face.
There are bronzers and highlighters, foundations and powders.

Eyes... I am in love with eyeshadows palettes as you can see.
But here there are also things about eyebrows and eyeliners.


And last but not least...


Lipsticks! Yay. Don't ask me how many there are. Probably over 60.
As I told you before I am not a fan of those plastic cases for lipsticks - even
though they seem to be helpful - but this suits me fine.




  As you can see from the pictures, they might be a bit messy inside but once in two weeks I clean the inside of the box and I put everything in their right place. I have never been a fan of the makeup bag because you have to place everything you own in it, so in the end it's a total nightmare when you try to find that single eyeshadow. So, for me the best option you've got is either a couple of boxes to store you things in or, as a last resort, there are plenty of plastic cases or boxes as you may know, that plenty of YouTubers have on their boudoir desks.

 Belive you me, the way I have my beauty stuff has saved me so much time because whenever I am in a hurry to get to university or to go out and all I need is a specific lipstick ,for example, I just pick the right box (on the right). No more time trying to find a single piece in a huge bag where everything is messed up and your lipsticks are wide open.

This is it. This is your time to sit down and tide up your things. It will only take a 
couple of hours tops but you will thank me later. Plus, it's a pretty good oportunity to get rid of that mascara you've been keeping since secondary school or that lipstick you bought for Halloween 4 years ago. You have to keep your things "healthy and knit". You can:

  •  google hacks of how you can store your things 
  •  try DIY ideas 
  • or contact someone who's not afraid to deal with bunch of things like MakeSpace who put up with hoardings.  Be sure to check out their locations for storage to see if they're near you. It totally worths your notice. Mark my words.
You can pick you favourite way to organize your things according to your needs but I think you have to do it sooner or later. The more you buy, the bigger the problem gets. Oops!

It's never the right time to do it but excuses won't save you time when you're getting ready for that date. Plan your day ahead and spend some time organizing, categorizing your things. I know it sounds boring and tiresome but the joy you get after it, it totally worths it.

That's it guys! This post is over... I hope I helped and motivated you enough to get started.
Please leave any comments below sharing your ideas and your own ways of storing and I'll be glad to discuss them.

So long beautiful creatures.
