Show Me Your Beauty Collections!💗

[Tamara76]

Hello, beauties!!!💗💗💗

We had a fabulous collection thread on the old BT that didn't seem to migrate over to BIC and since I love looking at collections, I thought I'd start a new thread.

This is a space to share your beauty collections - makeup, lipstick, nail polish, perfume, whatever you've got!

I'll start off with a few of my collections.💗

Too Faced:

Melt, Huda Beauty, MAC:

 Can't wait to see yours!!!💗💗💗

Thanks! I definitely recommend the hardware organizer method to anyone who needs a sample storage solution. It makes it a lot easier for me to actually use stuff and not build up clutter in my apartment!

[faeriegirl]

Your collection looks fantastic @Anonymous!

Thanks! It’s gonna be expanded after tomorrow when I take advantage of that 10% discount. 😊

@Anonymous I love your nuts and bolts container for sample storage!

[Anonymous]

Thanks! I plan on getting a label maker to sticks the categories on the front of the drawers too, I just haven’t gotten around to it yet. But soon!

@Anonymous  My advice: use the wall. I keep all my makeup in the bathroom and I’ve hung some of it on the most usable wall in there. I don’t have a makeup vanity: I either stand in the bathroom or use a folding stool to sit at the counter. 

If you don’t want to hammer lots of nails into the wall to hang shelves and things, try hanging one or two very large sheets of metal that magnets will stick to. Then stick magnetic containers on the metal. That was my original plan, until I realized the studs in my bathroom wall are metal. So instead, I bought a Perch magnetic wall system: a few metal plates that attach to the wall with Command Strips and hold various magnetic containers and Perch shelves. (Command Strips are my best friends; I rent and have no desire to fill 100 nail holes when I move out. 😂) 

You’re already repurposing things for makeup (hooray!), so think more along those lines for wall-hung items. Something like a wall-hanging file/paper/magazine holder could work for large eyeshadow palettes, makeup wipes, etc. I keep all my liquid lipsticks (liquid mattes, glosses, liquid satins, toppers) in 2 in-drawer spice racks inside a large bathroom drawer. 

Also, I love your sample organizer! That’s a good idea... I should do something like that for all the samples I save to give away. Right now they’re all stored in categorized plastic baggies and shoe boxes. The samples I know I’ll use are kept in my countertop acrylic drawer stack. I also really like your painting. And I understand keeping sentimental items nearby to boost your mood. I do the same thing. 🙂

Ooooh the magnetic organizer is a good idea. That would probably be ideal. We’ve tried to put nails in the walls before in this apartment and it goes miserably. These walls just do NOT wanna take nails for whatever reason so everything we have hung is either on nails that were already there when we moved in or command hooks.

I used ziploc bags for my samples originally but then I encountered the problem of storing the bags! I had all of them shoved into one dresser drawer and because I couldn’t see their contents easily I never used them. Hence my enormous backlog of samples now lol. I still have some stuff from January 2018. 🤭

I also just realized I completely forgot to take a photo of the organization I did in the bathroom and me and the boyfriend's skincare/bath & body stuff. Let's just say I don't think he can ever give me grief again about having too much makeup because he owns twice as many skincare products as I do! It took me longer to sort and organize his stuff in the bathroom cabinet than to do my own stuff. (Not to mention there was no room in the cabinet for any of my stuff anyway; his products took all the space! So my stuff is hanging in a basket on the back of the bathroom door.)

Time for some much needed organization.

[ThommiP]

This is where I would fail. I would start out organizing which would then turn into swatching which would then turn into trying on which would then turn into getting the wine from the fridge and queueing up some YouTube vids. 

[Anonymous]

is that all makeup, skin care, nail art etc? if it is then I'm falling eay behind lol

[JaneanBT]

Ahhhhhhhhh, okay I’m both twitching at the huge mess and eager to see the before and afters!  @DeeBBY3469 

[Lazybeautybeast]

[faeriegirl]
