This post will showcase how exactly I organize and style my vanity and the top of my dresser. I won't go into too much depth about the products and pieces of jewelry I have since I might end up doing a youtube video on that subject. Just depends if I can scrape together time to film and edit it later.
First off we have my dresser, which I've had for as long as I can remember. Last year my husband refinished it and put on a dark stain which made it look 100x better. Still not sure if I will change out the original hardware or not, my husband doesn't want to but we'll see. On top of my dresser holds a good portion of my jewelry, all my rings and stud earrings. I also use it to display my perfume. Currently I just have a tea towel underneath everything so the wood doesn't get scratched. I will been on the look out for a nice lace doily or table runner to replace the towel.
This miniature bust I received from my brother for Christmas last year and it has become the home for my bracelets. It came with adorable little pins that you can arrange and I just hang my bracelets on them. Next to it are my cuff bracelets, a vase of fake calla lilies (my favorite flower) and two little bird figurines I also got form my brother for Christmas one year.
This little contained I've had ever since I was little, can't remember where it came from...but its the perfect little dish for my bobby pins.
All my stud earrings I pace in the black damask dish, all my rings are in the middle bowl and some hoops and smaller dangly earrings go in the white damask dish.
Currently my beautiful rose gold watch, which was a birthday gift from my husband, is sitting on my dresser as well. It's still in the box as I need to take it in to have a link removed.
My perfume collection consists of Calvin Klein Euphoria (which was my go to fragrance when I was in high school), Dior J'adore, Chanel Coco Noir and a roller ball of Nirvana by Elizabeth and James. I also have an antique looking purple glass perfume bottle that is empty at the moment. A compact my sister brought me home from Paris, a paris tin which holds some keepsakes and a fancy soap also are on display on my dresser.
My vanity is my favorite piece of furniture in my room. I've had it for a long time and am just now coming to appreciate the beauty of it. This is where I sit daily to do my hair and makeup. On top my vanity sits the majority of my makeup, makeup brushes, my stand mirror, a couple hair products, my straightener and some more fake Calla lilies with my wedding fascinator clipped onto them.
The majority of my makeup I keep in this acrylic makeup container. Last year I decided to purge my makeup collection and start investing in good quality pieces and build from there - much to my husband and bank account's dismay.
In the front left section I have all my bronzers, blushes, and a few of my good lipsticks. Brands include The Body Shop, Dior, YSL, NARS, Rimmel, Milani, MAC and Loreal.
Front Right section has my MAC Prolongwear foundation and concealer, a few MAC eyeshadows, Loreal Infallible eyeshadows and my Milani brow kit.
Back Left section has some more foundation, concealer and BB creams
Middle and Right sections have all my mascara and eyeliners. I have a lot of mascara because i got a Sephora Favorites mascara kit for Christmas last year, I need to purge soon!
My bottom drawer is kind of sparse, just holds my extra lip products and glosses, fake lashes, eye liner pencil sharpener and my eye lash curler.
The top drawer has my palettes, my Hourglass Ambient lighting palette, a couple Rimmel quads, my two Naked palettes and an old Lord and Taylor color palette.
The two side drawers just have my body butter and more hair products such as pony tails, clips etc.
The rest of my jewelry is displayed on the wall. This is my favorite corner of the room, I set this up with my mom just the other week.
My necklaces I have displayed on this adorable Paris hook.
And all my big earrings (which I haven't worn in ages - babies and shinny dangly earrings do not match!) I have hanging in this frame. This little DIY project I found on pinterest and I love the look of it.
So there you have it, a glimpse into my makeup and jewelry collection and display.
Let me know if you'd like to see a video on this!
The baby is crying! I've got to run!
See you next time!
