Summer break may be coming to an end, but if you live in a country where there’s more days of sun than rain, this guide might help you out all year long!
Starting the year off with product empties! These are what I've used up in the last few months.
Spent half of the holiday season stuck at home (because y'know, Pneumonia), but that wouldn't really stop me from picking out my favorites for the month! These are my picks for the last month of the year!

Uhm, me? Talk about makeup? Hell yes!
A few weeks ago, what started out as tidying up my room ended up
being the BIGGEST destash I've ever done. I've been wanting to clean out my
vanity after a while, but it never occurred to me that it'll be something as
major as this. I mean, I've done it before on clothing... but
makeup?!
For the past year, I've invested so much in my makeup artist kit,
that I've completely forgotten about myself. Heck, I haven't really bought
anything for myself in quite a while now. I think the last time I
remember buying makeup for myself was back in 2015! Now that my MUA kit is more
or less complete, I'm stoked to be focusing on my own collection again!
So in this post, I'm going to briefly walk you
through with what's left of my vanity, and how I plan to organize my future collection.
I had this vanity customized a few years back, which was
supposedly inspired by the Ikea Linnmon-Alex Table. It's not
an exact replica of what I wanted, but I was still super happy with how it
turned out! I recently had it repainted, and added a glass table topper to add
to the 'vanity' table aesthetic. My room is a bit cramped for space so I had to
put my TV on it.
On the right side of the table is where I sometimes work with my laptop (or
really just endlessly watch series or youtube videos) and do my makeup. Set up is a
small LED mirror, and my "moodboard". Although, I do plan on
replacing that LED mirror with one of those gigantic vanity mirrors with light
bulbs!
The table has 4 layers of drawers, to which I divided into
sections for my storage. First two drawers are dedicated for makeup, third is
for skincare, and the last drawer's currently empty since I still haven't decided
what goes in there. Backups, maybe? Though I don't really keep backups
so I guess it'll just probably be an extra drawer?
Like I said, first two drawers are for makeup, which I divided
into more sections using these plastic organizers I bought at our local
hardware. The first drawer holds my base products - primers, foundations,
concealers, powders and makeup tools. As you can see, that's what's left in my
top drawer: a Bourjois foundation given to me by my mom, my dirty Beauty Blender, Mac 217 and Shu Uemura lash curler.
Second drawer is for everything else - eyes, cheeks and lips. So,
that would include eyeshadows, mascaras, eye liners, brow products, blushes,
bronzers and contour powders, highlighters, lip balms, lip gloss and lipsticks.
I allotted more space for my base products since they generally take up more
space considering their sizes. These ones take up lesser space, so I can fit
them all here.
Here's what's left of my vanity. A few bullet and liquid
lipsticks, lip balms, a highlighter and a brow pomade. I never really fully
parted with my lip products during my clean out, hence still having a handful
left. As for everything else, sayonara!
...and that's it for this post. Can't wait to start filling up my
vanity again!
