Models Own lipsticks…a hidden gem of the makeup world...

If I said to you 'Models Own', then chances are you'd come straight back at me with the response 'Nail Polish', right? Same here - Purple Grey is one of my holy grail, all time favourite nail varnishes which I'll forever re-purchase. However when I was looking for some new products to test out in my pro makeup kit, I decided to delve into the world of Models Own makeup and see what they have to offer. To cut a long story short, I love these. I picked up 10, in a range of shades, and although a couple are a little more sheer than others, I absolutely love all the ones I picked up. They all have a glossy finish, there are no matte shades in the range which is fine for what I wanted. 

(left - right) Plum, Red Wine, Pinky Red, Scarlet, Coral, Hot Pink, Nude, Baby Pink, Deep Fuchsia, Coral Pink.

Stand out shades are Coral Pink (a slightly more pink, glossy version of Mac Lady Danger), Nude (one of those perfect brown toned nude) and Coral (which I'll admit is going straight into my personal stash, it's PERFECT for summer!). 

Anyone else tried these? Are there any other Models Own unsung hero's I should try?

You know you're a makeup addict when a dressing table brings this much joy...

So yes, I know the Ikea Malm and a ton of Muji storage is a bit of a beauty blogger cliche, but it's a cliche for a very good reason! My collection was starting to get a bit out of hand, and I was sitting on the floor in the darkest corner of my bedroom when I was putting my makeup on so it was time for a change...

As much as I love my clear Muji draws, I love having the large draw in the Malm dresser to hide away some more of my unused makeup and keep things looking a bit tidier. 

Yes, I'm sorry, but I own One Direction One Moment. Before you hate me, just go and smell it's deliciousness! I love displaying perfume bottles on a dressing table - it's like having very useful ornaments!

My brush collection is mainly made up of Real Techniques, Sigma and Elf, and I found these pen holders in Ryman and Wilkonsons to store them all in. 

I display all my favourite lipsticks in holders like this from TK Maxx. I have another three of these further along. Yes I have a problem (see below).

So because 4 acrylic lipstick holders just isn't enough, I have an overflow box in my large draw….

And then a dedicated three draws to the glosses/ stains/ creams/ balms etc etc etc. Can anyone say lipstick addict??

I'm so happy with my new makeup corner and all of my storage….I highly recommend the the Malm dresser if you have the space for it. And even if you don't, a set of the Muji draws is a perfect way to keep makeup organised and cleanly displayed. 

How does everyone else store their makeup?
