My Dressing Table

Hey Hey!!

So I thought I'd make my first post an introduction to my little beauty world and what better way to do this than to introduce you to my dressing table?! (please read the disclaimer at the bottom of this post.)
Ever since I bought my first lipgloss (I was 12, it was a sticky, gloopy, cheap little tube and it was one of the happiest moments of my life), I opened the door to a world of beauty storage. At the time my make-up and beauty product storage consisted of cereal boxes with handmade cardboard "slots", shoe boxes, old biscuit tins and one of my all-time lows, an old toilet paper cardboard tube.
......Aaaanyway, moving on, I have now finally achieved my perfect dressing table. Its my little space to experiment and pamper myself, to draw inspiration from and to transform myself into whatever I feel like. 
I designed it myself so the builders bought their own wood. The mirror is from Ikea and the drawer knobs are from B&Q.

Please click on photos to see them bigger and clearer!

Disclaimer: I am inherently quite a nosy person and I therefore love to look at people's dressing tables and find new ways of displaying and organising and it is for this reason alone that I am posting this. I am in no way shape or form trying to show-off about anything I own. Nor was this stuff bought overnight, it has been accumulated over a long period of time. Please take it as sharing abit of my beauty world and nothing more than that. 

SO I hope you like it, would love to hear what you think! If you would like close-up pictures of any of the nail polishes write a comment and I'll try and put one up! 
How do you organise your collection of stuff? Do you like to display it or neatly hide it away? I would be very interested in reading any such posts so please feel free to post a link to yours down below!

  4. Ohmygosh! I LOVE! I need something as cool as that!!
    I opt to put my stuff away in clear boxes/glossy boxes, etc just because I'm quite cautious about dust. How do you deal with this issue? Especially on your brushes which are out? I'd love for you to share your solution to it!
