How I Store It...

OK so you've been asking how I store it.

I bought a couple rolling totes from joanns (Crop In Style, $99 each) and also have a caboodle thingy. My stuff needs to be portable cause I always have to take it with me when I do shoots or weddings.

What it looks like from the outside:

my brush belt (minus a few brushes that are in my purse)

The inside of the caboodle -- dedicated solely to blushes, loose powders, and lipmix palettes

The 2 Joann's crop in style cases stacked (i bound them together so I can more easily travel with it)

The inside of the top case. the pouch to the right of the drawers holds my pro longwears, and the two pouches at the bottom hold most of my lipsticks.

A look at the drawers in the top case:

Inside the bottom case:

The drawers in the bottom case:

my dupes:

a side note: since I took the first pics of my collection on the floor, i moved all my cream color bases and glosses to lipmix palettes so that's why you don't see them here. "

Wow! I didn't realize you were a make-up artist. I should have realized it from your FOTD pics. How often do you have gigs/ shoots?

Gorgeous ! They are all MAC ! !

Wow, that's quite the collection! Since you need it to be portable, I'm curious why you keep your eyeshadows in their pots? It seems palettes would save you a lot of space.

I hate palettes

I feel like theyre so messy when you use them and the dust gets everywhere, but it's getting to the point where I've started depotting little by little in order to save room because to lug that big thing around is just a pain! depotting my blushes as well.

Ive had them for several years. Theyre really a good buy, way cheaper than any cosmetic designated case
