I love your organization, but when I hit the pics of your BPAL collection my mouth flew open! That is just fantastic!

Thank you!

Yes, they are vials of perfume oil, made by a company called Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab. =)

Amazing stash. Love the hidden wall art. Very discreet but great at the same time!!! Now I think I've picked up a few ideas!!

Wow, your setup is SO gorgeous. I have so much less than you and it's all so disorganized...now I want to run to IKEA! The perfume unit is definitely the star though, your boyfriend is really talented and super sweet to make a custom unit for you!

Wow! *droolls* I was looking at this page when my husband took a glance over my shoulder and asked, "is that all.. is she a make up seller or something?" lols, pardon him.
But really they all are very very well organized and super clean and shiny! Awesome collection and storage setting! And that wall art disguise, brilliant! You have an awesome bf! ;D

I know this is Specktra (so I'm taking the risk of getting black-listed - JK - sorta), but when I read this, all I could think was:

..."werd", as in "word"(?) Wait, that face looks totally wrong - I'm just sayin':

Thank you so much! The hubby is pleased that folks like his storage. He worked his butt off making it. :p

I need to update the pictures soon - more stuff! ;)

Should I post a full collection pictorial, or would that be redundant?

I am all for a whole new set of photos because I love your collection so much! :)

Aww, thank you!

I edited the drawer pictures to reflect their current set-up, but I have to wait for a sunny day for the top of the vanity.

I'm kind of sad that I has to remove the ice-cube trays from the eyeshadow singles drawer, but it was getting too tight in there to keep them. The hubby is building me an office/makeup room in the basement this winter, so hopefully I'll be able to expand to three Alex units and spread out a little more.

That was the first thing I noticed and thought the same. It is a fantastic way to store things, but the extra parts of the cube tray takes up a lot of room. I am presently struggling with one of my drawers and debating back and forth on a few ice cube trays. I have them, they look nice, but they eat up a lot of room! I love your collection!!

Beautiful collection~~~ more envious~ haha~~~I saw some Rock and Republics!!! I love the packaging for them!! (yes... of the entire collection, that's the first thing I noticed! haha....) So many palettes~~ How do you keep track of everything? Do you sometimes buy duplicates?!?! I'm going to look at your collection again... it makes me happy~~

Lol! I haven't bought a duplicate yet, but it's come close a few times. =)

The RnR stuff is so awesome! It's really too bad they discontinued the line. I regret not getting more blushes when they were on hautelook.
