Makeup Vanity Collection&Storage

MAKEUP VANITY SETUP  *old update coming soon!!!

MALM

Occasional table, white

I love seeing everyone's setup and collection! I am going to share with you how my setup looks and the storage pieces only on the top of my vanity.... We will all see the drawers and whats stored on the wall real soon!. I'll be uploading a video within the next week or two to show what's inside!! A video seems easier or else i'd find myself needed to upload a ton of photographs! Look out for the upcoming video friends :)

P.S. I would love to see your setup so if you have one posted please link me below. Thanks Have a lovely Sunday night :)

Lovely glass rose that my mum gave me I put it right on top of my 4 drawer mirror storage :) Thanks mum!

I love the mirror pieces I have on my vanity I think they are stylish and hide within the unexpected all the while looking sleek & classy.

There are random bits and pieces... but some great things hidden within this space. 

Oh &&& I love NARS packaging most people hate it but I like the uniqueness of it. The little crystals surrounding are from the gem show I went to a few weeks ago with my sister and some friends. I think they are pretty. One is even shaped like a heart <3 Strobe cream is to the back right hand corner I'm trying to still yet decide if I like this on my skin or not? hmm

MAC Beauty Powders & MSF'S, yes please! I keep them all in safe keeping right on top of my desk in my mirror treasure box so they can  be showcased as they should be lid opened or closed!

.. du do duuu a peek inside the top drawer?

I'm keen on the idea of storage for everyday items to apply such as Cotton pads and Foundation touch up sponges. I placed them in these glass jars found at my nearest bed bath & beyond. I also leave one of my juicy tubes in there because while sitting at my computer I seem to apply it often and these jars are just to the left of my screen :) so I have easy access this way! ;)

I love the packaging and quality of Rock & Republic! ... the collection just grew and grew and ... grew! I hope to get some of the blushers soon as of now I only have shadows and face powders. 

As far as foundation... I find myself more willing to try different sort of brands no matter the price. I've been using this Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua SPF 15 foundation for about a month now and I love it. My skin has been dryer due to the chaining seasons but yet more so clear because of the hot days leaving. This is a very sheer foundation yet evens out my skin tone perfectly. It's light weight and makes my skin look smooth and flawless no lines or visible skin imperfections. This always makes it's way to the top of my vanity during the week days.

Oh! Not to forget these firefly jars! I have some of my favorite powders in them. They are at the end of my vanity/desk to the right of my computer.  the lid catches product and protects the product inside them swirling my brush in the lid seems to pick up just enough rather then placing my applicator into a pile of product. I think they look nice. Always looking for new ways to store products!

These beads happen to be the colors of this beauty room :) My starting point!

I love storage that is mirrored this clinique palette is camo next to it very cute! I have on top of my my desk mirror.

I really want a set of sigma brushes but have not got a chance to buy myself a set yet. I plan to get some in the near future but AI'm happy now with the few good brushes I have :) I have a MAC brush belt that they are all in this is wrapped around my vanity hair on the back. I think it a swell place for it.

***Well I think that's it! I have a giant "&" on my desk but other then that it's just my computer :) hehe Hope you like my vanity top! Oh! the giant mirror on the wall is lovely! I don't know how I ever went without it!

What products are you loving right now?!

I think from now on I will post my favorite products every month. They do change frequently, the color tones however do remain the same. I work in an office so fun colors are 

not what you'll find in my makeup bag.

I find that these days I carry more makeup with me then I should. I have outlined the products I have have with me always even the the flow of other cosmetics is different. Perhaps I should do reviews on these products as well? I do have a Green by Nature Review coming up shortly,very excited for that :) I do love the products I own from the company! :)

                                             

Haul: Hard Candy Intense Color

Hej vänner!
Titta vad jag fick under helgen!! Jag kommer att göra en översyn på dem inom ett par veckor eftersom det finns elva och tid kommer att behövas för att ge min ärliga fulla mening.

Har du provat dessa? Tankar tack :)




Site Says: Painted Lady - Manic Shine, Intense Color
A creamy, long lasting lip color leaving no shade unturned. Each piece is a work of art.

Hej Friends!
Look what I got over the weekend. I have seen a lot of reviews on these lipsticks. I was iffy on trying them only because the ribbon does not thrill me nor does the design. I love a more simple sort of packaging sleek and durable. I couldn't pass these up however because they were so incredibly cheep on a sale that if I didn't like them much I could get rid of them and if I did depotting would not be so hard. I will be doing a review on them within the next couple weeks as there is 11 and time will be needed to give my honest full opinion.

Have you tried these? Thoughts please :)

Review: Avon Ultra Color Rich Lipstick

(Left - Right) Wink, Pink Sunset,Posy Pink, Sheer Naturale, Canela Nacar, Blonde Ambition

Price:
$6.50 - $12.00

Pigmentation:
Depending on the color and line you are picking from it varies.
The regular Ultra Color Rich Lipsticks apply evenly and pigmented as you can see from the photograph. Each swatch was only one swipe across. The two lighter ones are actually tinted plumper's. They are sheer yet buildable and do leave color upon the lips. I think Avon Lipstick's are very under rated!

Packaging:
I think the packaging is pretty sleek. They always keep it simple.They have a label at the very bottom with the color and brand name. The sticker is at most times the shade of the lip color. Inside they are embossed with the AVON Plate. They carry a good weight to them as well.

Texture & Application:
The texture for all lipsticks I have tried by Avon have been smooth and creamy. They apply very easily. With only a bit of product you can cover your lips. They last a few hours depending on what you are doing throughout the day. They have never gave me problems. I have never seen them bleed with or without liner. None of the above lipsticks are matte or hold sparkle, they are just a nice creamy color. They look gorgeous when you add a gloss over them, they don't seem to streak on the lips.

Extra Supplies Required?
These lipsticks are very moisturizing on my lips. Sometimes I throw a balm on underneath if the weather requires it but otherwise they are fine all on their own!

This review was based upon my experience of AVON Lipstick's. I choose only 6 colors to focus more on my favorite shades by the brand. I will also say if you plan on trying the lipstick I hope that you will check into the lip conditioner they have within the line, it is amazing :) Hope this was helpful!

My Thoughts...


Packaging:
The packaging is gorgeous! It is a great shade of purple royal like really. I guess the crown that sits on the tip top of the lid suits it well. I like the packaging and that the color is told on the bottom of the lipstick however I don't like that it is a bit light in weight. I wish it were a bit heavier in hand to feel of better quality!

Scent:
It does hold a light scent. It reminds me of the smell you get when sniffing a fresh bouquet of flowers. I don't mind it because it's not over baring at all.

Texture:
It is smooth on the lips. Creamy texture! It is nice in the way of not having to apply a balm on my lips with the color.

Application:
Speaking for this shade it applied well on my lips. It is pigmented enough to cover my berry color lips so in my book that's a +! I love it and the shade is perfect for me for the everyday. It stays on my lips according to what i'm doing eating or drinking of coarse takes a bit off but for the most part I get a few hours out of it! very nice. It has no sparkle in it yet it is not matte. I would say a creamy sheen is what it gives. I like that it has a great pimentation, it's not sheer so I don't use so much product when I apply it, Love it!

My Go To Lipsticks

MAC: Creme D´Nude - St Germain - Myth - Bombshell - Pink Nouveau - Snob (Creme D´Nude) There is this huge worldwide craze over this color!! I love this tone actually I would go on to say I adore it even, as it is the perfect nude lip shade.

NARS: Love this brand! I stick towards the matte and silk formula type. Admittedly, I am a nude/pink product addict this stuff does go above and beyond expectations. It's versatile and has a great formula. The shades are so beautiful and it seems like they are one of a kind. Overall, a good investment & ofc great quality :)

YSL:#1 Nude Beige - #2 Sensual Silk - #7 Lingerie Pink
I don't know what I would do without my YSL lipshades out of all of them I ofc had to pull this one aside for one of my favorites. It is better to apply this with a lip brush so your lips dont look to light. I apply a nude lipgloss or a pink one to finish it off. Gorgeous !!

FOTD 07.21.10 Yoga Session

Hi friends :) I got a tweet to do a FOTD that was done using affordable products. I have a lot of drug store brand makeup along with department.
