My Make-Up/Vanity area

I recently re-organized and cleaned up my vanity area.  I found a container I didn't know I had and moved a LOT of things around.  If you follow me on Twitter and/or Facebook, you saw the picture below from Instagram.

I also did a little video tour to show it a little more in depth. 

Unfortunately, I can't find the Sterilite containers or the shelves on Walmart.com at all. I'm not sure if they're still available.  Also, the items from abcdistributing.com are no longer available.  Sorry :(  BUT, Wal-Mart, Ikea, & The Container Store have lots of organizational things & sometimes you can re-use what you already have. :D


What does your make-up stash look like?

My polish stash & video

I meant to do this a few weeks ago, but finally just did it today.  Previously, I showed pictures of my manicure area that I have set up, but didn't really go into too much detail with everything, so here's the video.

I put links in the info bar below the video to anything I may have referred to within the video. 

If you have any questions, just ask. :D

My Melmer & updated stash

This is what MY STASH looked like before. 

So, for Mothers Day I wanted a Melmer.  Since I'm a SAHM and it was the first weekend of the month, I had to wait a week since a lot of bills were due at the first of the month.  We went to Michael's, got it 40% off ($20 and change), and picked up some acrylic paints to decorate it with. 
 

I didn't assemble it right away because I wanted to make sure I didn't have any paint dripping or any issues getting it painted.  So, last night, I open the box.  Here's what it looks like.....

I then grabbed my stencils, paint, brushes, etc. and got my little area set up on the couch.  I took the top piece (even wrote top front ^ on it) and went to painting.  This is what it looked like....

If you click on that bottom picture, you can see some feathering issues I had from both the brush and from accidentally swiping it with a paper towel.  It was easy to scratch mistakes off though, so I quit painting.  I didn't want to waste any paint and I didn't get any clear spray to put on the top.  I decided to go ahead & assemble it to get it all out of the way and off the couch.  I may go back later and paint it or try another type of paint, or maybe even just get stickers to decorate it.  I have bumper stickers all over my computer tower & I think it looks kewl.

Back to the Melmer.  It was easy to assemble, but took forever because I kept taking breaks to eat, get my kid to bed, check facebook, etc.  I also have been having some slight pain in my right arm, and trying to put the screws in was a pain.  The man took over for me.

The noob that I am didn't pay attention when putting the outer part together and put the top piece that I painted on the bottom by mistake.  LoL.  SO, now I have a clean slate for painting. 

Here's what my stash now looks like, and keep in mind I don't have all of my tools/nail art stuff in there as I need some of those short baskets to keep them in. 

 

Bottom drawer = round & some odd shaped bottles.  Wet N Wild, China Glaze, Orly, Revlon, Nina, Del Sol, Sally Hansen, Finger Paints, NYC, Sinful Colors, OPI

 

Middle Drawer = mostly square bottles.  Zoya, Color Club, Pure Ice, Maybelline, Random

 

Top drawer = top coats, treatments, tools, stamping stuffs.

Here it is all together.  I have it set up in my dining room on top of a cabinet/bar area as I have no room in my bathroom without putting it on the floor under my vanity. 

If you want to know what anything is, just ask and I'll go look.  OH, and here's an updated list of MY STASH


TOODLES Y'ALL!!!

My Polish Stash!!!

I've been cleaning the past few days a little bit at a time, and decided to take a break today.  I figured it was a good time to go ahead and make a spreadsheet of my "stash" so I'd know what I have.  Now I just need to go through my wishlist and take some stuff off, then add more of course.

So, here's pics of my stash.  Right now I'm using 2 of the drawer shoe boxes that you can get at Wal-Mart until I get a Melmer. 

Round & other shape bottles

Square shape bottles (and the Maybelline)

Even though I took all the ELF bottles out and put them in the "don't like" bucket, both of these are still full and the Maybelline are no longer in the square one.  I have no more room unless I just place them in there.

Now, after entering everything except the ELF, topcoats, treatments, etc......I have 87 polishes(click the link to see what I have).  That also doesn't include the ones I have in my giveaway stash. 

How many do you have?

TOODLES Y'ALL!!!
