Nail Polish Collection - I got a melmer!!

Hello hello ^-^

Guess what guys? I got a melmer!! Yayy I got it for 60% off at Michael's thanks to their black friday deal. This was the only thing I bought this year for Black Friday.. I'm a po girl now..

Anyways, I really like it! I wouldn't have bought it at its original price, but the sale price was worth it.

The assembly part had some interesting directions, but it came out fine at the end. :D

This is how I store my nail polish before: I used shoe boxes and souvenir boxes, and stacked them up. It was sort of a hassle because I had to lift and spread them all out on the ground to choose colors. I haven't counted all my bottles, and I don't plan to.. I'm going to stop buying a lot of nail polish now, because I can only manage so much..

Yayy this is the top drawer of the melmer. It has Sally Hansen, Zoya, Orly, Modi, Petite, and my top and base coats and nail polish remover and other supplies. 

The second drawer has my huge collection of Sinful Colors, Revlon, Essie, Wet n Wild, NYC, The Face Shop, and some other random smaller bottles of nail polish from drugstores usually.

The bottom drawer has most of my upper brands, like OPI, China Glaze, Nicole by OPI, butter london, and other random polishes that I don't have a lot of like Ulta and Hello Kitty and Essence and Urban Outfitters. (I like to organize by brand, because it looks nice that way. heheh...:D)

I know, I have wayyyyy too much nail polish. T^T That's why I'm going to stop. I used to buy colors I didn't even really like, just because they were on sale. Now I'm going to only buy things that I realllyyyyyy want. I haven't bought any nail polish from the winter collections this year (I think) and I'm hoping to keep it that way. I usually buy from the spring collections more.. But yep! I'm happy I got a melmer, because it is a way better storage system for me than my shoe box method. It looks a lot cleaner and neater too. :D My goal for the rest of my life is to not exceed one melmer full of polish, unless I get rich-wait what?

'Til next time!

My makeup collection

Hello hello~

Today I wanted to share the makeup collection of a total makeup noob. I think I have enough makeup to last me for a while, since I don't wear makeup on a daily basis. I'm more into nail polish.. huehue -_-;; But I haven't actually tried all of these products yet, because I don't like to open things if I'm not going to use them right away..

This is where I store all of my makeup.. I like to keep in here because I don't exactly have a set place to do my makeup. If I keep all my supplies in here, I can conveniently take it to a place where there's a mirror.

Yup.. lotsa stuff... I bought everything here just this year. :P

False eyelashes: I have a pair of half-lashes and a pair of dolly-ish lashes for cosplay. I bought the Revlon precision lash glue, which works extremely well. I like false lashes, and I'm planning to buy a pair of more natural looking ones. :D

The top pencil liner is Wet n Wild's Coloricon eyeliner in black.. I haven't used it yet. T_T

The second one down in the metal casing is Physician's Formula liquid eyeliner in black. It's really good for detailed lining, because it has a thin, felt tip. 

The third one down is Milani Liquid Eye liquid-like eye liner pencil in black. It's a very nice, creamy pencil liner that is retractable, so no sharpening! 

The Wet n Wild gel liner in black works very well, but I prefer liquid or pencil. I'm just too lazy to clean the brush after using gel liner.. I heard it's a nice drugstore alternative to Bobbi Brown's gel liners.

The one on the very right is Wet n Wild Mega liner liquid eye liner in black. It is a brush tip that is much thicker than the Physician's formula one, but you can still get clean, sharp lines. I didn't buy the waterproof version so I could practice with this one and easily wash it off with water.

These are all of my eyeshadows.. 

Revlon Colorstay eyeshadow pan in Brazen: I don't really recommend this one, as most of the colors were chalky and crumbly, with lots of fallout.. I regret buying it.. T_T

Wet n Wild Don't Steal my Thunder: has nice colors.. I haven't tried it yet.. -.-

Milani Shadow Eyez in Brown Deluxe and Winter White: Very pigmented, long lasting eyeshadow pencils. I just have to buy a jumbo eye pencil sharpener now..

Physician's Formula Natural nude and Classic nude palettes: These have some very nice colors. Most of them are shimmers, with a few matte colors.. I bought these for BOGO free, and probably wouldn't have bought them without that deal. I tried it a few times, but the color payoff wasn't very impressive. I might try them with primer next time.

Maybelline Color tattoo in Barely Branded: This would be a great all-around base color. I haven't opened this one either.. I don't like to open things unless I'm going to use them right away..

Chantecaille: This black eyeshadow is a matte black that I found in my mom's very small makeup stash.. She doesn't wear eye makeup, but I use this for shading in my brows.. it works! haha...

Clinique lash doubling mascara: I got this mascara as part of a sample set. Haven't tried it yet..

Covergirl lash blast length water resistant mascara: This really does lengthen your lashes! It's really noticeable, and paired with a volume-increasing mascara, you could really make your lashes thicker and beauuutifullll.

Maybelline Great Lash I See Blue mascara: I really wanted to try a colored mascara, and reviews for this shade were relatively positive. I'll try it soon.

Elf smudge brush, eyeshadow brush, and eyelid primer: I bought these because they were inexpensive and work pretty well. The eyelid primer I haven't tried yet, but I will soooon! 

The mini brush in the middle came with the Wet n Wild gel liner, but I use it to fill in my brows. hehehe..

So yup, this is my makeup stash. -_- I don't plan on getting any more, because I'm saving up for the Naked 1 palette. Oops I forgot to include my Missha Perfect Cover BB Cream, and my Revlon concealers.. I don't really plan on wearing makeup every day, because I'm super lazy and I hate removing makeup, so I'm going to try very hard to keep my makeup stash as small as possible. This amount is perfect for a noob like me.

'Til next time!
