My MAC collection *Pic heavy*

I've had so much fun looking at everyone elses make up collections, so thought that I would share mine.

I've collected MAC on again/ off again since about 2003, my first love being pigments!

My Storage Solution/ bedside table! I finally accepted last year that I needed a serious storage solution, and after much discussion in Ikea, decided on this. Its a small part of a wardrobe unit, filled with the shallow drawers designed for accessories.The unit has 6 drawers, 1 holds my jewellery, 1 my non-mac makeup, and the other 4 are dedicated to MAC (although the drawers are starting to get a little crowded, so something might have to make more room for MAC soon!)

Drawer 1: Foundations, face powders, MSFs, blushes, pearlisers, palettes, quads, eyeliners and shadesticks. I like to keep the boxes for everything, I'm not sure why, I just like it better that way!

Drawer 2: My personal favourite- the pigment drawer. I organise my pigments in alphabetical order - a bit Obsessive Compulsive I know but then at least I know if somethings missing and can pretty much narrow it down, although there's not much danger of things going missing, considering I only live with my boyfriend- but he's always threatening to do some finger painting with my pigments!

The pigments without boxes/ vials/ samples are stored, in no particular order in the corner compartment.

Drawer 3: Eyeshadow/ Paint/ Lipstuff drawer. The pretty pigments gave me a bit of an obsession with eyeshadows, so I've gathered quite a few of these. I've only really just started building my lipgloss/lipstick collection, as I've never been much of a wearer of lipstick.

Drawer 4: Sets of things. I put my charged waters/ fix plus/ heirlooms/ lip sets in here because they wouldn't fit anywhere else!

My brush collection. I got given the heirlooms face set last year, but haven't got around to using it yet!

My postcards. I don't actually go out of my way to collect these, but get them as mailers or when I go and buy things, and I don't like to throw them away!

Various face things, foundations/ charged waters etc.

Very nice collection!! I can't believe you keep all the boxes..it looks like a little MAC store when you have everything in the drawers..lol..but it must be a pain taking everything out of their packages all the time, hey?

I keep the boxes, but not keep the products in them!
It makes your drawers look just like the store though.

I never even thought about the boxes until now..... it always seemed like a logical solution for me - although thinking about it, maybe its a subconscious link to the MAC store!

The only time I've found the boxes a pain was taking all the products out of them to take the photos! Other than that, I find that my most used stuff ends up out of the boxes, to live in my make up bag, or I press some pigments and keep them in my palette, so the boxes don't prove too much of a hindrance.

It's part of a PAX wardrobe (the smallest cabinet 50x58x77). It comes as an empty frame and then you fill it with the drawers/ combination you want. The drawers are Komplement drawers with dividers - they only have these in the 100cm option on the website, but are available in the 50cm version in store.

I chose a birch effect because I really wanted the Komplement jewellery box, and this was the only colour it came in!
