Beauty/Makeup Storage

I've wanted to do this post for quite a while now but always put it off as I thought: 'I'll find a better way to store my makeup soon' or 'I haven't finished organising yet'. But I've finally done it! and even better, this post idea came from MakeSpace, an on-demand self-storage service that picks up, stores, and delivers all the items you need. So basically for this post I'll just show you how I store my makeup and beauty stuff and what I use to store it, so lets get into it...

Firstly I keep all my makeup brushes, which are mostly Real Techniques, in this cute little pot from Ikea. They're quite popular, so I'm sure you've seen them all over instagram as they're just so cute!

Then I keep my sort of everyday makeup, lipsticks and mini makeup in this acrylic makeup organiser from amazon as it's just easier to get to things and it looks pretty.

Onto the main part, I keep pretty much everything in these ALEX drawers from Ikea as they are just perfect. In the first drawer I keep most of my makeup, in the second drawer is nail polish, lip balms and palettes, the third drawer is hair products and bath and body products and the last drawer is skincare.

I used to want to get the MUJI storage dividers as they're such a good size to keep all your makeup in and fit perfectly into these drawers, but I didn't really want to spend money on them when you can honestly just use takeaway containers. So that's what I use to keep everything organised as they're free and all you have to do is wash them up!

Iceland Travels

I recently got back from a school trip with loads of my friends to Iceland, which was amazing. I have only ever properly been abroad once before and that was when I was eight years old and my family and I went to Portugal. So as I have recently added another page to my blog about travel, I thought what better to do then make a post showing you all the photos I took when I was there. We stayed there for five days and in that time visited so much and it really was one of the best experiences of my life! So be prepared, there are lots of photos (I did have even more, but it really was ridiculous so I deleted some!).

Blushed Nudes Eye-Shadow Palette | Maybelline

I got this palette as a birthday present form my best friend and I've used it so much since. I actually haven't had an eye shadow palette like this before with more pinky toned shades in and I had been wanting one for the summer and this palette did catch my eye a few times but I never got round to actually purchasing it. So I guess you could say my friend did very well with this present ;)

So for todays post I thought I would do a little review of it and show you some swatches of the shades as they are very beautiful.

Top Row in palette - Left to Right

Bottom Row in palette- Left to Right

Overall there are twelve shadows and they all blend out so well and most of them are really pigmented. They are mostly shimmery but I also love that some are matte and it comes with a little brush with a sponge applicator on one end and a brush on the other, which is handy. They also stay on for a reasonably long time there isn't too much fallout when you apply them.

On the back of the packaging there is also little guides of which shadows to use with others and you can see how versatile they all are and its just a really helpful guide, especially if your are just starting out with makeup.

Thank you for reading!

Zoella Beauty Sweet Inspirations

Zoella's new product range, 'Sweet Inspirations', came out a few weeks ago and since then I've been dying to try them out as the packaging looks amazing! I've also tried lots of her other products and they are all amazing so I had high hopes for this range. I only have a few products from this new range but I thought I'd do a review on them anyway. The scent of them is inspired by sweet macaroons which I do really like, however not as much as the scents of her other ranges. So here are my thoughts on them.
