Bombsite

 I apologise for being a terrible blogger lately. My depression has been quite bad lately and when it's bad I don't have the energy to do anything, even just typing up a post is too difficult. And now I'm feeling better but have to tidy my bedroom.

Tidying my bedroom is a hellish and dangerous job that comes up about once a year (because I am a complete slob). Everytime I've managed to tidy it I think 'I'll never let it get this bad again!' but I'm just lying to myself. I managed about 4 hours today (though I actually started tidying it about 2 months ago, did several days of work and then got fed up with it seeming to go nowhere and gave up) before I started worrying I might lose an arm and had to go have a big glass of water. I probably have another week of work to go but I will prevail!

You may think I'm exaggerating, allow me to prove you wrong! These photos were taken after about 3 hours of work:

Oh God the horror D:

But I will be blogging again soon and I will have the worlds biggest blog sale as I need to clear space!

Storage

For ages, due to my incredibly messy nature, my makeup was scattered all over the place. I usually just had a cardboard box or plastic bag which i kept my 'day to day' makeup (like mascara, blush, powder and various lip products) in which would hang around the front room, and the rest of my collection was either just spread over my vanity table or in a fancy makeup artists case thing (is it called a train case?). But i got fed up and wanted to organise it all so i would always know where to find things.
I had a look through lots of blogs and videos to see everyone's different ways of storing their stash and decided my favourite was some stationary drawers from WH Smiths. They come in various designs but i chose one with cupcakes and polka dots and pink :) First i bought one, then that wasn't enough so i bought another, then i still needed somewhere for my lipsticks, which take up a lot of room. But still altogether this cost me about £40 and i think that's alright and i'm so much happier now i have everything neat and tidy (or neat and tidy-ish anyway :P). I probably could have done with a full chest of drawers like some people have but i don't have enough room in my room for it.

So here is the new storage:

 

I'm not so keen on how it's postitioned in the room but i love the drawers themselves. I think they're very pretty and functional too.

Behind the cut you'll see what's in each drawer :)
