I received an email from one of my readers requesting a voyeuristic gaze inside of my skincare stash. I did include a single (
very messy) drawer of makeup of some makeup that I'm either testing out, or that is in rotation at the moment. I didn't include pictures of my far more organized makeup stash, the items in my desk drawer waiting to be photographed, or the drawers filled with other skincare products. Also the contents of my shower and my beloved Clarisonic are not shown.
The cabinet that you see in these shots is an old built-in in my
bathroom that is from the 1920s when the house was built. It is very
deep, and was intended for linens- so it isn't the most efficient space
for the bulk of my skincare products- but until I come up with a better
solution it will have to do.
You thought that I was joking when I said I had every single Sunday Riley skincare item- didn't you?! I'm completely obsessed. While I do test out other things periodically, Sunday Riley is my go to line for skincare. I have repurchased every Sunday Riley skincare item shown numerous times over the years that I have been using the line.
Cleansers, primers and some of my finishing products.
I try to keep things organized by type- so my body care products are grouped together.
A closer look at my finishing products. I keep them in here for ease of use after applying my skincare products.
A few backups, and a few things that need to get a little more attention.
And my brushes live here too. The large bamboo container in the back holds most of my brushes. The first two-thirds from left to right is exclusively Hakuhodo. The final third on the right is a mishmash of Rouge Bunny Rouge, Bobbi Brown, Guerlain, MAC, La Prairie, Eco Tools, Chanel, Alan Goolman, MUFE and a few other random brushes. The shallow bamboo tray in front holds Hakuhodo, MUFE, Eco Tools, and Chanel brushes as well as my metal makeup mixing palette and a small Hakuhodo brush cleaner.
This disorganized nightmare represents the things that I was either testing out, or reaching for often when I took this picture about a week ago. I think of this as Grand Central Station-- things are in here for a while, and then are put back into my very organized drawers where things are very easy to find. This is located right below the cabinet shown above. I have got to find a way to harness this chaos- because once it is over a layer deep it becomes very difficult to find what I am looking for! I'm open to suggestions!
Don't be shy- ask, if you have questions! I welcome and enjoy your comments! How do you store your skincare & makeup?
