Maquillage

I have a nice little spot in front of the window in my wardrobe where I do my makeup, with a lovely padded floor cushion and good light. But I don’t have a suitably tidy approach to my makeup. I have four different bags in different states of tattiness. Less-loved items get relegated to more stained cases, while the favourites get to live in an oilcloth Cath Kidston purse with stars on it that my ex-flatmate gave me. It’s ideal in size and waterproofness when it comes to carrying a few bits to work and back, but isn’t fulfilling my needs at home.

I saw this case from Etsy today via an article at Tfs about how to store makeup. It would cost $100 or more with postage (not feasible with the exchange rate as it is) but I love the idea and it suddenly occurred to me my makeup isn’t being treated with enough respect and probably isn’t all that hygienic. I have a lot of nice makeup from when I used to have money and I much prefer posh brands like YSL and Benefit. Sorry budget makeup lovers, but I just prefer it. I’m not saying I look any better but frankly I probably take more work in facial upholstering terms than you do. I have complimented you into submission.
