my preciouses (fairly pic heavy)

[moonrevel]

Instead of taking a nap like I meant to, I decided to reorganize my makeup collection. While I was at it, I thought I'd take some pics for you lovelies, since everyone's doing it.

Here's where everything lives:

I'm weird about my eyeshadows, so the ones I've purchased in pans, or the shadows I don't use often and depotted are in my 15 pan palettes (which I arrange in an order that only makes sense to me!):

Thus, the vast majority are still in their cute little pots, plus all my pre-made quads:

Lipsticks (I didn't realize until doing this that I think I have way too many lipsticks, hehe):

Blushes, Skinfinishes, CCBs, and other random face stuff:

Paints, pigment samples and vials, and the lipstick bags:

Brushes, Disney TLCs, Fluidliners, LE palettes, Glitz Glosses:

I highly recommend these organizers, the idea for which I stole off someone on lj (thanks if you're reading!) The left one has all my pencils, some Lipglasses, Pro Longwears, Chromeglasses, and random stuff. The right one has more Lipglasses, Shadesticks, Glitter Liners, Lipgelees, Lipglass Stains, and some other random things:

All the pigs, all lined up:

And my Urban Decay eyeshadows and Lancome Juicy Tubes, so they don't feel left out:

So...
Dear Fireman,
If my apartment is ever on fire, forget about me, grab these plastic drawers. I keep them right next to the door for this reason. Thanks.
Love,
Heather Marie.

I got them at Office Depot. Any office supply store should have them, and they have all different kinds of useful organization things that are great for makeup storage!

Heheh, I quite literally have it all planned out if there's ever some emergency in my apartment. I'll chuck the stuff on top into the bottom drawer and run!

Hahah, so much of my life is disorganized that I try to express my OCD tendencies by alphabetizing my books and efficiently storing my makeup.

 

[niecypiecy]

I love your lip storage!

 

[afterglow]

Haha, I love the blurb you wrote at the end!
And I'm in love with your organization... and your massive amount of mu!

 

[lostcaligirl]

Your collection is awesome! I love the way you put l/s outside drawers. They look like bullets to me. LOL! And it's like you're so ready for some battle. Love your letter to firemen too! Hilarious! LOL!!

Hahah, you know, I was thinking the same thing when I laid them out. When you look at one individually it just looks like a lipstick, but for some reason when you have a bunch of them together, they really look like bullets!

I don't remember exactly because I just sort of randomly laid them out, and the flash made everything look a tad lighter than it really is, so if I had to take a stab at it, I'd say maybe it's Ingenue Blue?
