Hi everyone!
Kind of a random post here. Because of my recent nail polishing hauling, my 4 plastic drawers can't fit in any more new products. And I had already thrown out one entire drawer full of polish that have dried up (usually those filled with glitter chunks), gave away polish that I don't use anymore etc. But the situation is BAD.. and I went to IKEA and bought this drawer thingy, which I am sure many of you would recognise it, cos it's so IKEA... you know? Got the bf to lug it home, and got my bro to assemble it for me - guys come in real handy for situations like this.
And then I spent maybe 2 or 3 hours organising my stuff, throwing out my old bed side table, organising, etc etc... and this is what I have by my bed now. I am too lazy to rotate the picture, but you get the idea. A ittle lamp on top, fancy furry mirror which my sister bought in Japan earlier this year. This is a HUGE improvement from my old bed side table which is filled with all sorts of stuff. Not pretty at all. So I am happy with my purchase. I have only used up 4 drawers (2 for all my nail polish!!!) so far. And the old plastic drawers thing which is on the shelf, I am using them to store my contact lenses and hair scrunchies stuff.
In one of the drawers dedicated to my nail polish, I have all the misc brands (Sally Hensen, the odd bottles of Essie, The Face Shop, Barry M), top coats, nail files, chanel boxed nail polishes etc.
And in this drawer are all my China Glaze, OPI and MAC nail polish. I prolly still have space for another 20 bottles at least inside. Cos the 2 boxes you see are empty, and I just left them there so I don't have to put the bottles all the way inside.
So that's all I want to say about my new storage solution. This isn't a collection thing... and I do need to post my latest nail polish haul, and continue my little series on the overview of colours etc etc.
And then I bought pressies for my BFFs at work! One of them is moving to another school, and I got her something from COACH, to match her bag. Cute paper bag. And another friend at work is having her bday next Sat, so I got her a Two Faced bronzed trio palette thingy, SUPER CUTE. I think I am pretty generous when it comes to buying pressies for people I love! :) makes me happy.
Because the Sephora bag they gave me is kind of cheap and ugly looking, I went digging around in my cupboard and found this sleeker looking Sephora bag which I think either my BF or the sis's BF got during one of the US haul... and I put her pressie inside instead. And holly molly, look what I found inside the bag. A BRAND NEW UDPP!!! Now this bag has been lying around in my cupboard since last year. I knew it contained some empty MAC boxes, but I didn't know the Urban Decay box has the product still in it. But since I am using my TFSI (which is lasting me almost ONE year already).... I don't need to use it yet. And I also have back ups of TFSI.. so.. I am happy! :)
Will post my latest haul from transdesign next. Thanks for reading!
I love when you're organizing or looking for something and you find things you didn't know you still had - it's like shopping all over again!
