My Eyeshadow Collection

Listen, I know I have a lot of eyeshadow. I realize that I only have two eyes, but I can't help myself. I seriously love the endless possibilities that eyeshadow brings! I love watching tutorials with fun and vibrant colors, smoky eyes, and so much more. As you will see, I'm a huge Ulta fan. They make up the majority of my collection. But have you seen the kind of sales they have? About 90% of my collection I bought myself, the other 10% were gifts. See, other people contribute to my problem too!

Makeup Storage: How I Store Mine

When you're limited on space, storing your makeup can prove to be a difficult task. Although I have a decent sized office, it's also where I workout. Because of that, I don't want extra furniture taking up space. My desk and shelf already do enough of that. My dresser is actually in my closet, which is good because I put all of my makeup and hair tools on top of it. 

If you're looking for an easy affordable way to store your makeup, that is easily accessible and doesn't require much space, this is for you! 

I got these photo storage cases from Hobby Lobby. I love them! I got each case for about $25, with a 40% off coupon! That may seem like a lot, but for the amount of makeup I have, it's a great deal. Each have 16 smaller compartments inside where I separate my makeup by category. 

In the box on the left, I store all of single eyeshadows, liners, mascaras, lashes, and half of my face products. The box on the right contains all of my lipsticks, lipgloss, lip balms, and the second half of my face products! 

For all of my palettes and brushes/tools, I use this little 3 container storage set from Target. I got it during the "back to school: college" time. It's the perfect size for all of my palettes and I love that I can basically disassemble it and take with me only what I need. 

The bottom container holds 2 Z Palettes, and both of my Urban Decay Naked palettes. 

The second container holds a mini Z palette, 3 mark. palettes, 2 Avon palettes, 1 Sephora smoky eye palette, and 2 tinted moisturizers from mark. that wouldn't fit in my bigger cases. 

The top container holds all of my brushes and tools! Minus the ones I keep in my everyday bag of course.

Review: Urban Decay Naked and Naked 2 Palettes

My two absolute favorites palettes are the Urban Decay Naked and Naked 2 Palettes. Both are available at Sephora, Ulta, and the Urban Decay site for $50 each. They both come with 12 eyeshadows, with only one, half-baked, repeating between the two and a shadow brush. There are more shimmer shadows than matte shadows, but I'm a huge fan of shimmer shadows, so that works for me. The quality is amazing for both! The shadows are very pigmented and look amazing! Naked is definitely warmer than Naked 2. You don't NEED both palettes, unless you're like me and will find some way to justify having both, which is perfectly fine. Naked comes with a sample size Primer Potion, which I have become extremely obsessed with! Naked 2 comes with a sample size Lip Junkie plumping gloss which is the perfect size for travel. 

Naked Colors: Virgin, Sin, Naked, Sidecar, Buck, Half Baked, Smog, Dark Horse, Toasted, Hustle, Creep, and Gunmetal (Toasted and Dark Horse are my favorites!)

Naked 2 Colors: Foxy, Half Baked (repeat), Booty Call, Chopper, Tease, Snakebite, Suspect, Pistol, Verve, YDK, Busted, and Blackout (Suspect and Pistol are my favorites!)
