In my recent beauty storage tour, I said i'd most likely be giving you guys a tour of my Muji storage as I finally have it all organised and I thought i'd show you guys my everyday drawers, as those are the ones I use the most and the other drawers just have random bits and bobs in. 

As you all enjoyed my beauty storage post, and all of my previous storage posts that I have done I thought it was about time that i'd continue, by showing you how I store all of my cleansers and masks.

Usually I store my cleansers and masks in my bathroom, but the lighting is so bad in there that it would be near impossible to take a half decent picture. I like to have them stored in my bathroom as I use them pretty much on a daily basis so it's nice to have them to hand, rather than rummaging through drawers upon drawers of stuff. 

I store all of my cleansers in the Ikea Skurar Bowl (£7) and it is literally the perfect size for everything to stand up nicely in, although if I purchase anymore skincare I may have to move things around. I try to keep everything somewhat organised in the bowl, with my favourite cleansers at the front, such as The Body Shop Vitamin Cream Cleanser (£8.50), and the Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish (£13.25). I have my more spotty/breakout cleansers at the back such as the Ren Clearcalm 3 Clay Cleanser (£18), and the Eucerin Dermo Purifyer Cleanser* (£9.50). Then finally my masks more towards the right hand side of the bowl, and i'm really loving the Jurlique Moisture Replenishing Mask* (£43) at the moment.

All in all I really like how i've got my cleansers and masks all set up, and the Skurar range really does make everything look so much more appealing and generally tidy.

How do you store your cleansers/masks?

As some of you may have seen, this past week or so i've been really switching up my beauty storage and it's finally at a place where I feel like I can share where it's at right now seeing as not much is going to change, and some of you have been asking me so many questions, so I can hopefully answer a few of those for you in this post.

Let's kick things off with the furniture as these are the main focus of my storage. Both are from Ikea as they have some amazing affordable pieces and usually the white versions are the cheapest, who knew! For my main beauty storage I have the Billy Bookcase (£25), which you can see here on the left and to the right I have the Kallax Shelving Unit (£45), which I have an array of different storage boxes hoarding all sorts of stuff inside but the top works great as a makeup desk area.

For a while now i've wanted to switch up my makeup storage to acrylic storage, mainly because it looks really tidy and it's a fun way to store your makeup, whilst also being able to see where each product is. So this weekend I took the plunge and purchased my first piece of acrylic storage...

Todays post is again, a continuation of the storage detail kind of posts i've been doing recently and one thing I don't see much within the blogosphere is us bloggers talking about the fashion/beauty reads that we have, so I thought i'd share what ones have earnt their space on my bookshelf.

As you can see, i've completely devoted this shelf just for the more fashion/uni/beauty books as I find them a lot more visually appealing than my other random books and these are the ones I reach for the most, especially when it comes to any design or layout kind of work i'm doing for uni. I've tried to arrange them in height order just make them appear neater on the shelf and more visually appealing for me. 

Now onto the books themselves, i'm not going to babble on about every single book or review them as such, as some of these I haven't fully read or used as much as I should to give them a review, but i'll give you a little rundown about the ones that I use the most. 

So first off we have 9Heads, which if you are a fashion student you SHOULD own this book. It's amazing for all sorts of figure drawing and drawing of clothing on the body, with step by step guides and helpful tips, this book has come in so handy over the three years i've been at uni. Moving to more textiles with this book, but Practical Textiles Techniques is a really good book if you are studying textiles. It gives a run down on all the different textiles techniques, and I used this a lot during college. The next book that has come in pretty hand is the Making and Breaking The Grid, which is all about layout and typography through the use of various grid based design. I've found this really helpful when producing trend books where i've had to really consider the layout of the pages and all of their elements. Next up is the Essential Fashion Illustration, which is similar to 9Heads in the sense that it's all about fashion illustration and figure drawing but isn't as extensive as 9Heads, but still really useful. This book is probably the most obvious choice, but one that just looks so good on a shelf and that is Alexa Chung's IT. I haven't fully read this, more like flicked through it but I couldn't not mention it and I can't wait to give this a proper read. Again, another obvious choice with the Lauren Conrad Beauty, but this book is so good especially for those who, like me don't know that much about beauty. It covers all things from makeup to skincare and is definitely worth a read. Another Lauren Conrad book and this is actually from her series of books with L.A Candy being the first, and only one that I own. I read this a good two years back or so now, but i'm definitely going to pick it up again and maybe purchase the next few in the series. Last but not least is Luella's Guide to English Style which I was recommended during my second year, and it's a great little book covering various different aspects of English style, it's hard to explain but really worth picking up.

So that is all my fashion/beauty reads! I hope you guys liked this post as it is a little different, but I thought i'd try it out!

Do you own any of these books?

Following on from my recent Bedside Table Details post and after so many of you really enjoyed that I thought i'd sort of continue with the little storage details around my room. So today i'm going to talk you guys through my perfume collection and show you how I store it in my room!

One thing I don't talk about all that often on here is perfume and up until recently I didn't really have a collection as such, mainly because I went through perfume like there was no tomorrow but i've since allowed me collection to grow and i've learnt to save perfume rather than use it like a body spray.

Let's start off with the storage as that part is quite easy and quick to talk through. I basically store my small perfume collection on the top of an old Glossybox lid, which sits on top of an Ikea draw system where I keep all of my nail polish. I really love the floral pattern of this lid and it somewhat ties in with my perfumes as they all have some sort of flowery/summery vibe to them, from the packaging to the scents themselves. Now, even though it looks like my perfumes are in direct sunlight, they actually aren't.. I just moved them for the purpose of the picture taking.

Now onto the perfumes themselves. I've reviewed a couple of these but this first one I have never really spoke about and that is the Marc Jacobs Daisy, which I got for Christmas. I'd wanted it for so long after always giving it a sniff in Boots and it's delicate subtle fruity floral scent always made me lust after and let's not forget the packaging.. how cute! Next up, sticking with Marc Jacobs is the Marc Jacobs Honey* which is hands down my favourite fragrance seeing as this bottle is almost empty, i'm trying to save this as I love it so much. I've done a full review of this here, so if you want to know more then make sure to read that. Last of the Marc Jacobs fragrances and this next one is the Marc Jacobs Dot*, which just adds to my love for Marc Jacobs perfumes! I love it's light yet sweet floral scent and is definitely one i'm saving for summer. This last fragrance is one i've repurchased over and over, whilst also being one that I recommend to all the girly girls out there. This perfume is the Vera Wang Lovestruck Floral Rush, which I knew i'd love after loving her Princess range. I've done a full review of this here, so head on over to that post to know a bit more.

So that is my fragrance collection and a little about how I store it in my room. I hope you guys are liking these kind of posts and I think i'll try to do a few more like this.

What are your favourite fragrances?

For a while now i've wanted to do a post somewhat related to my room and the area's of storage that I have. I've seen a few bloggers talk about their bedside tables, showing what they store on them and in them, which I really enjoy reading so I thought i'd jump on the bandwagon and show you guys what my bed side storage looks like.

For my bedside table I have the Ikea Hemnes Bedside Table, which I chose as it only has one drawer meaning that it wouldn't just become full of junk and it also has a little shelf in between the legs which is super handy and works well to store my makeup bags.

As you can see I keep the surface area quite minimal and tidy as I hate having random clutter taking up space. Just like any bedside table I have a Lamp, which isn't actually pictured but it just your bog standard lamp with a pink shade on it, which does the trick for you know giving me some light. I also have a little Cup Mat, or whatever those things are called, but I love the cute floral print as it ties in well with my room aesthetic. At night time, I always just chuck my iPhone on my bedside table whilst it is charging, but I thought i'd put it for the sake of the picture ha! As for beauty bits I don't have an awful amount of things as they'd just take up space and look messy. At the minute I have my trusty Bioderma, as it is too fat to fit in the drawer and I use it most nights to remove my makeup before cleansing. The nail polish i'm wearing at the moment is Topshop Celestial, so I like to have whatever shade i'm wearing out for quick touch ups. As I suffer with dry lips I always have a lipbalm handy and at the minute i'm loving the Nivea Lip Butter in Vanilla & Macadamia, so that is just chilling on my bedside table as ease of use. 

As for the drawer, I use this to store all of my skincare bits that aren't cleansers or masks as they are stored in my bathroom (even though you're not supposed to store them in your bathroom, but I still do). I've made use of an old Birchbox to house the majority of my skincare bits including my trusty Origins Ginzing Moisturiser, which is honestly my favourite moisturiser, Hydraluron, which is a no brainer really and the Caudalie Beauty Elixir, which I love to use during the summer. I also have a few samples and random things like spot cream and eye creams in there which I use every now and then. Next to that I have the bigger bottled items, such as my Pixi Glow Tonic and the L'oreal Eye Makeup Remover which is underneath the La Roche Posay Hydreane Legere, fabulous products! The only thing that is annoying about the drawer is that it only opens halfway, meaning some products can get lost at the back but other than that I really like it and makes a really good way to store my skincare bits.

So, that is my bedside table! I hope it gives you guys a few ideas on what to do with your bedside storage and I hope i've managed to give you a few skincare recommendations whilst I was at it.

What is your bedside table storage like?

Today instead of posting a review I decided to show you all how I store my nail varnishes and my collection at this current moment seeing as I bought a fair few new varnishes whilst I was in London. Now I did recently have a clear out of the varnishes that I either didn't ever use or those that had bitten the dust and could not be saved so they needed to be thrown away.

This is the box that I store all of my nail varnishes in and I actually recieved this at Christmas from my friend Amber which if you have read my blog from the start you may have seen this before. It's the perfect size box at the moment for storing my nail varnishes and hopefully I won't purchase any new varnishes until the Spring/Summer properly hits the UK.

So this is how all my varnishes are organised, pretty much all the same brand grouped together but I don't bother putting them in colour order as i'm not that OCD about organisation. I need to put the colour of each varnish on the lid really as it will make it so much easier for to tell which varnish is which.

Below I'm going to list the majority of my varnishes by brand and I'll list what each shade is for you all with a little rundown of the varnishes performance as a whole.

Nails Inc.

L-R: In Style Candy, (the rest are Crackle Top Coats) Clapham, Islington, Brixton, The East End, Camden, Hackney

L-R: Turquoise, Mint Green, (unknown), (unknown), Coral.

L-R: Diamond Glitter, Ridley Road, 311 Nail Effects, 315 Nail Effects, Atlantic Road.

BarryM is a brand that I love but for some reason I don't own that many shades which I find so hard to believe! I love BarryM because they are so affordable with prices ranging between £3-£5 which for a nail varnish is so cheap and these nail varnishes apply so easily with a couple of coats and last for a good few days without chipping. Not to mention a few of these shades I've had for a few years and I'm still able to use them, they haven't even began to go gloopy at all!

I have reviewed the Texture BarryM Nail Effects here.

Topshop Nails

L-R: Easy Breezy, Awol, Stolen Sapphires.

For those of you who don't know I love Topshop's Nails range! Even though I only own a few shades, I am unable to purchase these on a regular bases as my local Topshop does not stock the Topshop Makeup which is probably a good thing otherwise I would own a lot more! These nail varnishes are priced at around £5-£6 a bottle which is still fairly cheap but they come in so many shades with every colour in 4-5 different tones as well as glitter and metallic shades also. They apply so easily and last a good few days without chipping. 

Essie

Sweet as Sugar, Black Cherries, Hot & Spicy, Sky High, How Do You Lilac It?

Another brand of nail varnishes I love and that is Rimmel which is honestly my favourite high street brand as many of the products I use on a daily basis are from Rimmel. Their nail varnishes also live up to Rimmel's go-to-highstreet brand status as they are fairly cheap and come in a good range of colours from pastels to brights and glitters which is what you would want from a high street brand. They also last a couple of days without chipping, apply really easily with a couple of coat and dry super quick!

Avon, Revlon & Collection

L-R: Sunshine, Coral Beat, Sheer Peach, Charming, Go Retro!

Starting with Avon, I've had these for a few years now and to be honest I don't know why I still have them as I never use them. I find the formula way to thin and watery making it so difficult to get a good coverage that doesn't have lines through it and they take forever to dry. I have juzt convinced myself to throw these away!

Next onto Revlon, I really like these two that I own and I'm always mooching at Revlon's nail varnishes as they have some really pretty colours but I just never end up buying them which I don't know why as I love the two shades I own. They apply really easily with a few coats and dry super quick and last a good few days without chipping. I'm not sure what they are priced at but I can't imagine them being much over £3-£4.

Finally Collection/Collection 2000 (whatever they are now called) I only own this one shade but I felt it was worth mentioning as these remind me of the BarryM Gelly Paints even though I do not own any I have used some of my friends before and they dry pretty much the same with a slight sign and super quick. They go on super easily and as it's from Collection these nail varnishes I would have thought are pretty cheap.

O.P.I

Hello everyone! I hope you are all enjoying the fact that it is friday, the weekend has begun!

Today I went out to Ikea and Boundary Mills and picked up a few bits and bobs, also when I got home my ASOS order had arrived. Until 9am this morning ASOS had an amazing offer of 30% student discount so I snapped up a few things that I had my eye on.
