My Makeup Collection

Note: This is a picture-heavy entry. Click on the pictures to enlarge.

Inspired by Geekchic to do this post, I’ve finally taken pictures of my entire makeup collection and posted them here. My current makeup collection you see here is half of the actual amount of makeup that I own; the rest are still in Malaysia, which I couldn’t bring with me due to baggage space and weight restrictions. Note that this was a draft I came up with a couple of weeks ago. As a makeup addict, there have been new additions to the “family” since then.

My makeup collection is very mismatched. I do not have the latest collections of anything, nor are they expensive. I don’t buy makeup from just one or two well-known brands as I love to try anything and everything.

Most of my makeup are of drugstore brands, because I don’t believe in spending much on a single makeup item (the money is spent on skincare, which, in my opinion, is far more important than makeup). This is with the exception of foundation and primers; these are barriers that protect the skin from makeup, so I’d prefer to spend more on better quality ones. Having said that, there are a lot of gems in drugstore and cheaper brands for these too.

“Huh? She calls herself a beauty blogger? Look at all the cheap stuff she uses!”

Bear in mind that I’m not even close to what Paris, Geekchic, Jojoba or other beauty bloggers out there have, so don’t be disappointed when you see my humble collection. I’m just a girl who likes my makeup

This is my dressing table. Nothing fancy, no mirrors (no need for one, as our built-in wardrobe has a mirror which is from ceiling to floor), just a chest of drawers from IKEA. I’ll be doing a post on the skincare products I use in the near future. For now, we’ll stick to the makeup.

This is where I keep my makeup. I don’t keep them in a train case simply because I don’t have one. Have been itching to get one for a very long time now. It’s a pity that train cases are so expensive. For now, I keep my makeup in small plastic drawers for the ones I use regularly, drawstring bag and makeup bag for those which I seldom use. The drawstring bag was actually a lunch bag used to store lunch boxes which I bought in Japan. The makeup bag was a freebie from Kanebo.

So there ya go, that’s my current makeup collection. Not very impressive as you can tell. But I’m pretty proud of it. I shall be updating this from time to time when I do a review of any of the above makeup items. And also maybe a part II, when I build the collection up.

This isn’t a tag, but I’d love to know what your makeup collection is like. Go on, take some photos of your makeup and share, share, share!
