My new vanity area. That's my Chanel sign I got an an antique shop. It lights up too!

This is a nail polish rack I got off Ebay that I keep my palettes/other shadows on. I have to be able to see all my stuff or I won't ever use it!
The first palette is actually the Hello Kitty Too Dolly palette. I committed a sin and de-potted it because I never used it because I couldn't see it! I put a Hello Kitty sticker on it though haha.
Rest of the palettes left to right:
star violet, pink venus, hepcat, jest
passionate, stars and rockets, cranberry, plum dressing
shale, satin taupe, beauty marked, sable
sketch, honey lust, mulch, swiss chocolate
mythology, expensive pink, woodwinked, amber lights
lucky green, plumage, sumptuous olive, green smoke
contrast, birds and berries (yes i depotted), electric eel, steamy
shroom, rice paper, vex, nylon
black tied, print, club, knight divine
Mineralize Shadows:
Its a Miracle
blue flame
illusionary burning ambition
And one single to the beach pot, shimmermoss which i will probably depot too lol.
Nars Palettes
rated r
south pacific
silent night
and deep throat blush
Also on the rack is my Chanel foundation and my MAC studio fix fluid nw20

Love the Chanel sign...just a fyi, I think all MUFE e/s can be used as blush or e/s so that may explain the signage on yours..I don't have any MUFE e/s personally so dunno if they all are like that lol :p

yeah i just use them as eye shadows. one of them is like leprechaun green so i've always been confused as to why its labeled blush. i recently learned that theres a such thing as blue or green blush to neutralize unwanted redness on your face but i don't know.

not to go on a tangent but i need advice too... i love having my mac shadows in their individual pots but i'm starting to think about palettes. if i did, i'd stick with quads because i like that they are see-thru (right?) and i clearly don't have very many anyways. i just figured out that the pans for palettes are only $11 (right??)! BUT call me crazy but i think palettes are kind of ugly.. what do you guys think? cuteness over money-saving? also i FINALLY got my pro card in the mail today so i'll be saving money with that too

I think it is very personal. Some people do prefer pots over palettes, and some others prefer palettes over pots.

I personally prefer palettes because I think they look more organized that way. The pots I own are LE, and I'm just too afraid of trying to depot them.

I think most of the MUFE shadows are labelles as a blush. The majority are filed under blush on the Sephora website. They can all be used as e/s & hey i'm not complaining as they are so big

Your collection is wonderful! i wish i started off small with good quality products! so envious that people bought mac and nars when i probably spent the same amount of money trying to buy tons of drugstore stuff and end up not liking half of it !
