College Makeup Collection and Affordable Storage


My makeup collection is not huge, nor is the storage glamorous, but it works! When I move into my apartment in August I plan on getting a nice mirror and the Alex 9 Drawers and more grown up makeup storage. But for now this will do :) 
I store my makeup brushes in cups! 
This first glass is my eye brushes. I have more, but I put away the ones I don't use often or don't like (from my old makeup brush set) Some in that set, I kept though. So this is a mix of MAC, Sigma, and Shany Cosmetics Brushes.
 This cup is ugly, but it fits my face brushes decently well. It is a mix of my new Sigma brushes, Shany, a Real Techniques Blush Brush, and a knock-off MAC Hello Kitty brush (I thought it was real on ebay...silly me) 
I love this desk organizer that I got from Target!! I was like 5 dollars, and it holds my palettes, my everyday use items, and my eyeliners,brow pencil, some mascaras, and my lip liners. Plus, room for more palettes ;) 
I have the Coastal Scents 10 Blush Palette, The three Urban Decay Naked Palettes, Lorac Pro Palette, and TheBalm's Nude' Tude Palette. 
In my commonly used items section I have my Too Face Milk Chocolate Soliel Bronzer, my ELF bronzer and blush duo, my UD Naked Basics Palette, BH Cosmetics Concealer palette, BH Cosmetics brow kit, NYX Illuminator in Narcissistic, and Rimmel London Stay Matte Powder in Translucent 

I got my drawers I use for makeup, in the storage section in Target! It does the job mostly. The drawers are pretty messy. I'll have to find containers to hold things nicer when I get the Alex 9. 


Sorry these pictures are blurry! I can do a more detailed and nice makeup collection in the future. I just wanted to give a nice overview of how I store makeup in a dorm room. 
This top drawer is filled with various face products. Lots of blushes, concealer, foundation, and powders. 
This is my miscellaneous drawer! Samples, foil packets, masks, primers, other lip products, lashes, back-ups, etc. 

This is so blurry :( 
But it is my single eyeshadow and small palette drawer, I also have a few mascaras! 
I have a lot of MAC, and many other brands( NARS,Mica, BH Cosmetics, Stila, NYX, Smashbox, Benefit, etc.)


On the top of my organizer I have my lippies!! and some other important products. I got this container really cheap on Ebay.com. I have various lipsticks and stains, my face lotion, lip exfoliator, balms, Primer, MAC Fix+, an ELF powder, and usually my Beauty Blender (I took it down so it wasn't blocking the lip products!)
