My Makeup Storage

My makeup storage is definitely something I've been working on for years & I'm finally happy with what I now have. I've gone from having it in boxes to being in drawers & sitting on the floor to now having a beautiful dressing table where I can be comfortable & fully enjoy putting my makeup on.

I love seeing other people's makeup storage & collection so I thought that I would share mine :)

I love how my dressing table is set up. I have the IKEA Malm Dressing Table & the Nils Stool. My skincare & makeup brushes are easily accessible & all of my makeup products are safely hidden away :)

Square brush holder - MUJI

Circular brush holder - MUJI

In the first two boxes (which are MUJI for anyone who is wondering) are my foundations, concealers, bronzers, highlighters & powders. My favourites at the minute are the YSL foundation on the left & the Prep & Prime MAC powder on the right.

We then move onto primers, eyeshadows & brow products. Having a variety of primers always helps me (as you will have read during previous posts that I've had a love/hate relationship) because I can choose which primer (if any) suits my makeup that day. I also love having millions of eyeshadow palette's so that I can try a different look each day :)

In the middle are lots of mascara's & eyeliners of different shapes, sizes & colours. I frequently change my mind on which mascara & eyeliner are my favourites so I always think it's good to have a few options!

And finally, at the end are all of my lip products. I love having a variety of balms, glosses & lipsticks in the mix as it depends on my mood as to what to wear!

It's currently a bit messy as I've recently bought a load of new stuff & had to quickly find room for it all but I'm hoping to sort it all out when summer is over & I change my most used products around.

American Adventures in Washington DC

About a month ago, I got back from travelling around the USA with my fiancé. I had the most amazing time & got to see so many places that I never thought I'd be able to :) 

The first stop was Washington DC where my fiancé is living at the minute. I spent the first week sunbathing by the pool as he had to work but at the weekend we had the opportunity to go into DC to explore! 

The White House was amazing! It looked so calm & serene but I did expect it to be a bit bigger than it was if I'm honest!

My gorgeous fiancé & I

Our first house together :)

(I wish)

Stephen then gave me a history lesson as we walked around which I did listen to but might have forgotten since... (sorry)

Finally time for some lunch, we headed to Five Guys for some tasty healthy food :)

I love how they offer peanuts for free!

Ooo it was so damn tasty!

We may have also stopped for some Oreo ice cream!

Whilst staying with Stephen, I went to meet him in Reston where he works & they had some delicious food trucks for the first time :)

I had a delicious cajun prawn wrap!

I had such a great time exploring the DC area & had to show you this ridiculous sized car that Stephen had during my first week...

I actually had to use the step to get in because it was so big!

After having such a great start to my American adventure, we packed our bags & got ready to jet off to San Francisco! 

See you there :)
