I recently updated the storage situation with my makeup and I thought I would attempt to share it with you's!
The above is an overview of my vanity table.
The vanity table is from Ikea along with the mirror. The butterfly decals are from EBay and I think they just make the mirror a little bit more interesting.
The AMAZING Tetris lamp is off of amazon and is a great addition to any room! I did see it in Hawkins Bazaar if you would like to go into the shop to see it before you buy it, I think its going for £30 there. 
On the other side is my advent calendar for this year, I don't eat chocolate that much so I wanted to get something little to open. I went into Primark and found a couple of jewellery calendars so I got it for myself. there is a 24 day one and a 12 days one, I've really enjoyed getting a new little bit of jewellery every day so I will definitely be getting one next year!
Moving on to the actual storage situation. I got all of the clear boxes in TK Maxx, you also get them on ebay and amazon. I managed to put most of my makeup collection in the clear boxes with only a couple of items going into my drawer. I am still waiting on my lipstick box to arrive from amazon!
The first box has 2 big drawers and 2 little drawers and I prefer this one as it can fit my bigger pencils etc in it. the little drawers aren't very good for lip pencils, mascaras or eye liners! In the bottom drawer I have put the eye pallet I use the most, the Naked 3 pallet of course! Then behind that is a some eyebrow products and a Kardashian eye chubby stick thing.
The second drawer up has all of my eyeliners! I have a few but they are for different things! I then have the 3 mascaras that I use, they are the telescopic black one and silver one, I don't know what the difference is but the pretty lids came off of them so they don't look very nice anymore. I also have the Kardashian mascara which I love for every day use. The top 2 drawers aren't used for much. Right now I have my Christmas themed necklaces and some of the earrings from the advent calendar in one drawer and my birthday money in the other.
On top of this set of drawers houses my brushes, my lip liners and my 2 mac lipsticks. This tray for my brushes came with one of the boxes. I wouldn't really recommend it as they don't hold the brushes very well and its awkwardly shaped. I am hoping that the lipsticks tray fits on to the top of the other box so they all fit. (I'll let you know if it does or not!)
The other set of drawers are a little bit more full and organised. Firstly, the top of the drawers has 2 technic lip balm owls that I am giving away in a Christmas gift. The top 2 drawers house my concealers and a couple of highlighters. The third drawer has an old eyebrow pallet that I refuse to get rid of, my Kardashian eyelashes and a heap of eye lash glue because for some reason I always keep the glue even though I throw out the lashes! In the fourth drawer I have my primers and a mac tester pot which I keep for when I'm travelling so I can decant my foundation into it. The bottom 2 drawers are a little bit more fun, the fifth drawer has some eye glitters and balls for my tragus piercing. (They are lip balls from Claire's accessories but they are a lot cheaper and nicer than the studs you get) The last drawer has some of my blushers, the bigger ones are in the drawer under the vanity table.
On top of my mirror is a bit of a mess really. It has my favourite perfume, an A my friend made for my birthday a couple of years ago, the letters to spell out LOVE (obviously) which I got from a valentines last year and a moustache that has all of my cheap earrings which didn't come in boxes. The moustache is from poundland and originally I was going to keep it in my cupboards but I fell in love with it so it gets to stay out!
Thanks for reading this, please let me know if you have any storage tips I should try! Please let me know if you would like me to review any of the products that you see in here!
Lots of Love
