Make-up Storage @ Home

I promsied ProjectVanity that I would show her how I store my make-up. So here's a picture of my make up. I got the white soft boxes from Dimensione. One pack comes with four soft boxes, you'll see in the pictures later.
Here, I store all my lipsticks along with my liners and foundation. Sometimes, I usually take my foundations or tinted moisturizer with me whenever I do my make-up in the car or wherever. These are all the lipsticks/lipglosses that I have. Some are from Revlon, NYX, MAC, The Face Shop and Clinique. I also use Nivea's lip balm. That Paul & Joe lipstick-looking tube is actually an eye primer. I just put it there because its the same size as my lipsticks.
I used the bigger box for all my face and eye makeup and most of my palettes. This consists of eye palettes and lip palettes. It's easier to see them this way because I can just get them outright without having to dig for them. That's why the palettes are upright, not lying down. Here's how they look like. The two other boxes are full of perfumes, nail polish, etc. So, what do I usually store in my make-up kit which I usually bring with me everyday? Of course, my blush from Chanel, my pressed powder from YSL, a lipstick, a gloss and sometimes my foundation from Revlon. There are also instances where I bring some pencils. It really depends on my make-up for the day.

Here's my first review of make up which I own and actually use everyday.
I got this one last December in the Macau Duty Free in the airport while waiting for my flight back home in the Philippines. I had some more money left and my mom said it would be best to spend it than to save it because it would be hard to exchange Pataca in the Philippines. So, I went to the cosmetics section and I looked for something I like. Since I was running low on blush-on, I decided to get one but I wasn't sure what brand to buy until I saw Chanel.

I always wanted to try Chanel cosmetics not only because of it's name but also because my friend said it was a quality product too. So, I searched for the perfect pink hue which would compliment my fair skin.

I use this as a part of my everyday make-up since it's not too glittery and it has just that perfect tone of pink for everyday use.

Another plus point for this product is that although I use it quite often, it's as if it's still brand new. Meaning, it takes a while before it would be completely finished. I love that about make-ups because it means I got my money's worth with this one!

One thing I don't like about this is the brush. I don't like the texture because it's not as soft as I expect it to be. Also, it's too small. What I do is I usually bring with me a bigger brush for application.
