Acrylic Lipstick Storage

Lately I've been trying to figure out a way to store my ever growing lipstick collection, on many a beauty blogs Muji acrylic drawers are almost always the answer. I'm not too keen on displaying my entire makeup collection so I opt to have my dressing table drawers organised instead, much more appealing but the lipstick stand did however catch my eye whilst scrolling through Amazon and as I had spare money on a gift certificate (it was only £2 or something) I thought why not and purchased it. 

Since they were coming from China (I think) or maybe Hong Kong, the postage and packaging was estimated around a month later however I was pleasantly surprised that my parcel arrived just over a week later, talk about quick! They were a little dusty when I first unwrapped them but nothing a bowl of fairy washing up liquid couldn't fix and its now sitting on my shelf looking brand new. 

At the moment I've just filled my stand with drugstore lipsticks (bar the one Mac and two Illamasqua) that were floating around my drawer so that I'll be able to get more use out of them. I can see that this will defintitely be changing around at a later date, one that I'll probably be much happier with and more aesthetically pleasing ;) I think its just going to encourage buying more colourful and brighter packaged lipsticks if I'm honest! Since this is my first item of acrylic storage I'm sure I'll be set on picking up a few more pieces in the future too. 

What do you think of acrylic storage? How do you store your makeup bit and bobs?

Weekly Ramble #4

This week has been hectic for me, for the past few weeks I've basically been living in my bedroom revising with the occasional trip to the fridge but as soon as my exams were over and done with on Monday, my week and social life managed to do a serious turn around and fill up leaving me with a jam packed week. 

As you may have guessed from the first couple of pictures, I've done nothing but revision for the past say 2 weeks, I started to go a little crazy I'm not going to lie / I dread to think how many cups of tea or biscuits I've consumed (and yes that is a One Direction cup, I have no shame) / I let my hair do its own thing for once and it dried naturally to look like this, waves and crinkles galore! / We made my friend a birthday cake for his 21st and surprisingly it tasted quite good / We also got a bunch of other snacks to stuff our faces with which all went down a treat / I actually brought my camera out for once so a fair few photos were taken with my friends / Also I was able to start bringing some of my stuff home from my uni house woohoo! still debating where this cute little lantern can go, time to redecorate I think / Oops a lot of snapchats were taken / Made a cheeky MAC purchase while Debenhams had a sale on, can't wait for it to arrive / Ikea trips are the best, I finally got something to organise my drawers with / And finally I had thee most amazing cookie, it was massive and amazing and I definitely need to get some more.    

This is definitely a short little post, I managed to get a lot done in the space of a week, I think I've been quite productive! I also managed to sneak in a few unexpected trips to McDonalds, watch the final episode in the series of The Vampire Diaries - I don't know why they thought it would be a good idea to end it how they did. I can't cope not knowing, I won't spoil anything don't worry :) And lastly we booked our coach tickets to go to Croker and more importantly ONE DIRECTION so now it actually feels more like we're going. The excitement is kicking in already eek! #5days
