Alixpress brushes!

Hellooo my lovely reader,
How is everyone this Sunday? I am very good, the blog is a little late today because this morning I have been out doing some practice for my Gold DofE award which I am canoeing for. I am going on Wednesday and won't be back until Sunday so next weekend there will not be a blog. Very sorry but just think i'll probably be out in the rain canoeing while you'll your still in bed, so I think you guys are lucky. 

So I was told about this amazingly addictive website the other day. http://www.aliexpress.com/ 
This website sells everything and they are all sold at amazing prices with no shipping. So as you can tell I brought a lot. Brushes, makeup, sponges! I just couldn't stop shopping. Today's blog is about the brushes that I brought. 






This is the first set of brushes that I brought. This set cost me £9 with no shipping and they are so soft. I got 10 brushes and they are all different. The top picture shows all of the larger brushes. From left to right we have a face brush, an angled flat topped brush, an angled face brush, a flat top brush and a domed brush. All of these brushes are perfect for foundation and face makeup. They are super soft and apply your makeup amazingly. The bottom row of brushes are the smaller brushes in the set. They are basically mini versions of the large ones but are great for applying eyeshadows and concealers. All the brushes have the same packaging, shiny black handles with a gold top to them with their Maange logo on the bottom. 



This is the second set of brushes I got. This is only a set of 4 but they are just as good. They are the same brushes as the other smaller ones from the first set which I did not realize but it is always good to have spare brushes. They are just a soft and apply makeup just as well. I like the packaging more on these brushes because they have a matted handle with a gold top. This set only cost me £6 which is amazing for the quality of brush. 

I just placed them into the extremely cute pot which just helps to keep them all together and makes my room a lot more tidy. I would definitely recommend having a look at the website because they do some great things for such great prices. The only disadvantage to this website is that it does take quite a long time for the product to arrive but if you are ok with waiting them go check them out. 
Thank you very much for reading and please like and share, it would mean a lot. 
Love you all <3

New Makeup Shelf!

Helloooo guys, 
How is everyone today? I know i have missed a few blogs and I am really sorry :( I have had so much work from college and I was in Dorset last weekend on a school trip but I am trying my hardest to keep up with it. 
So forever I have had all my makeup on my bedroom desk but since starting college I have needed that to do work on so we went to Ikea and brought a new shelf and draws and set it all up in my room. I am completely in love with it because it is so much easier to keep it all organized and it looks so pretty perched on my wall. 

This is the shelf!! Isn't it so pretty! This shelf cost £60 in IKEA and the mirror cost £27. The boxes in between the shelf are two different sizes. The small singular box cost £5 and the double boxes cost £7. They fit perfectly in the space and they are great for the smaller makeup items. 

 The whole shelf. All organised and neat. 
 This section of the shelf is where I have all of my storage units. I brought most of them from TKMaxx and the small one with nail vanishes in, is from Tiger. They are perfect for storing lipsticks and foundations. They help to keep everything neat and tidy and also makes it much easier to find the products when I want to use them.

 This section of the shelf is for all of my brushes, nail vanishes and mascaras. These beautiful white pots are also from IKEA and the large ones cost £3 and the small ones cost £1.50 which I think is such a bargain for how beautiful they are. They are perfect for all my brushes and nail vanishes because I have a ton. They help to keep everything organised. I would definitely recommend getting some because they are just so helpful and they look so pretty. 

 In each of the boxes I have many different products. From left to right - in the first box I have a mix of BareMinerals products and other powders. The next large double box is full of blushes and bronzers and finally the next box is full of liquid and pencil eyeliners. The boxes help to put my makeup into categories and help to keep it all organised. 

The next three boxes again from left to right - The first box is full of singular eyeshadows in many different shades. The middle double box is all of my pallets. This is completely full so i have had to keep some out on the top of the shelf as you can see in the picture and finally the last box is full of lip glosses and lip balms. 

Thank you very much for reading, I know it was quite a short blog but I hope it gave you some ideas about how to organize your makeup or even a completely new makeup shelf idea. 
Again thank you very much for reading and please like and share, it would mean a lot.
Love you all <3
