Let’s Talk - Makeup Organization

Lately I’ve been pretty obsessed with acquiring different brands and kinds of makeup and skin care (getting old). They make me happy just looking at them. Does that sound kooky? Well, probably. Guys have their gadgets while girls have their makeup. and shoes. and bags. and clothes.

My vanity is getting crowded and I needed to do something. The solution?

I got this at Muji for Php975. I’m very happy with this as it keeps my makeup organized and keeps the clutter at bay.

Let me show you around.

The first drawer from the right is my Lip Drawer.  It contains my lip balms, lip glosses and my unopened lip products.

The middle drawer is the Cheek and Eye Drawer and houses my mini eye shadow palettes, single eyeshadows, eyelash curler, and sharpener. On the top are my blushes.

The last drawer is the Stock Drawer.

The first compartment contains bronzers and a highlighter. The one on top contains all my stocks – unused, unopened makeup.

I haven’t given up on my old lipstick organizer from my Caboodles set:

I put it beside the Muji organizer and it houses all my lipsticks, eye liners, mascara and concealers. There are prettier lipstick organizers out there but this one is still in good shape that’s why I’m keeping it. Plus my grandmother gave me the Caboodles set.

This organizer is very versatile. You can also put it up right, standing up but I prefer it horizontal as I’m paranoid that it will fall and break all my precious makeup.

Another thing that makes me happy is the light that MB installed on my vanity. It really lights up the space and makes everything prettier. So, thank you MB! When are you going to install the other lights? Haha!

My collection has since grown and I’m thinking of other ways to organize them. How about you, how do you organize your makeup? Share!

    I found the Muji organizers to be a bit price-y. Is it worth the extra bucks?

    I would say, it depends. For this particular organizer, I already scoured the Metro and didn't find anything like it so I shelled out P975 bucks for this. It's well worth it.

    There are other Muji organizers that have cheaper counterparts in department stores, saizen and Japan home center so I would advise that you scour these shops first before going to Muji so that you have an idea of what's out there and how much they cost.

    i don't have the make ups, hahaha, but at least i organize my toiletries same way you did with your cosmetics. just lip balm, lip gloss, concealer, loose powder, and perfumes are what i have. and some facial scrubs, toners, moisturizers, and stuff too.

Soul Notes: For Your Journal Tonight

Come sit with me for a while. I have my journal open, and tonight I’ve been thinking about something I suspect I do more often than I realize. I turn healing into another thing I need to accomplish. I want to know when I’ll be over something. When I’ll stop thinking about it. When something that hurt will finally stop hurting. When I’ll feel like myself again. And somewhere along the way, healing quietly becomes another deadline. Another invisible date on a calendar. Another thing I can somehow be late for. But maybe healing doesn’t work particularly well under project management. Maybe there are things I will understand quickly and things I’ll have to revisit again and again. Maybe I’ll feel completely fine one day and unexpectedly tender the next. That doesn’t mean I’ve gone backwards. It means I’m still moving through it. I remember one day, many years ago, when I had fibromyalgia. I lived in constant pain. I just couldn’t get a good day. And then one day, in the office...

Used to the Last Drop: The Ones I’d Already Told You About

  There’s something particularly satisfying about finishing a product you’ve already written about. Not testing it. Not forming first impressions. Not wondering whether I’ll still like it three weeks from now. Finished. My Molang Honey sheet masks and this body scrub both made it all the way to the end. (Finally for the Molang sheet masks, right?) I’ve reviewed both before, so I won’t review them all over again here. But perhaps using something until there is nothing left to use is its own kind of review. Beauty products come through my bathroom rather frequently. Some are lovely for a week. Some get pushed to the back of a shelf. Some simply stop working for me. And then there are the ones that quietly disappear because I kept reaching for them. Maybe an empty container is the shortest review of all. I liked it enough to finish it. If you want to read my thought about these products, just type them on my search bar. —- With elegance and quiet fire, Lady E Founder, Glow by Lady E...

Part 1: I Finally Had Enough of My Dry Feet and Did Something About It

  I have been annoyed with my feet for months. Not because there was anything particularly wrong with them. They were just dry . Really dry. And you know I have a problem with dryness (hello skin, lips). And somehow, despite noticing this constantly, I kept doing absolutely nothing about it. The moment that gets me every time is when I’m waiting for my son at piano class. I’ll sit down, cross my legs, look down at my slip-ons or sandals and there they are. My dry, flaky feet. Then I become painfully aware that there are other people sitting beside me who can probably see them too. đŸ˜‚ Every time, I think, I really need to do something about this. And then piano class ends, life resumes, and apparently my feet are no longer part of my jurisdiction. Eventually, I had enough. I found this Mond’Sub Chamomile Foot Peeling Spray at KKV and decided that my poor neglected feet were finally getting some attention. The process wasn’t glamorous. There was peeling skin involved. There were bits...
