My stuffs
A few days ago, my company invited a couple of financial advisers down to give us a talk about wealth management, they were talking about assets and such, and I thought that the only assets I own are my makeup! Hahaha! So maybe its time for me to show people my “assets”!
Here's what are on my vanity table.
Very neat right?! I try to keep it uncluttered, keeping only items I will be using the next day or items that I use frequently in the box (its from Muji). The small white round case contains my earrings.
Some of the items in the box (as shown in the above picture) are RMK Face Protector, RMK Creamy Makeup Base, Too Faced Glamour To Go palette, Too Faced Eye Shadow Duo Lovey Dovey, Etude Bloomade blush #2 Azalea Bloom, VOV Show Case Ball On Cheek #3 Suri Pink, Etude House Top10 V-Line Maker, Kiss Mat Chiffon Powder and many eyeliners.
Here's where I keep the bulk of my cosmetics and hair care products. There are actually some more items (a few makeup items, mascaras, eyelash curlers, the brushes and skincare I'm using currently) but are kept behind the mirror on my vanity table. The mirror can be slide open to reveal more storage area.
I still managed to squeeze in most of my worldly possessions in the 11-tier (6+4+1) storage boxes. The blue box below contains items that are already past their shelf life but I cannot bare to throw.
Here's a close up of what I use to keep my hair in tip-top condition (OK, I lied, my hair isn't in tip-top condition :p). And my body sunblocks (Johnson's Naturally White Daily UV Lotion and Nivea Moisturising Sun Spray).
I tend to prefer Japanese brands for hair care products, currently I am using Ma Cherie End Cure Milk, Liese Styling Water for hair dryer, Liese Juicy Shower, Paul Mitchelle Super Skinny Relaxing Balm, etc.
I will start off from the 6-tier storage box on the left.
The first drawer from the top contains most of my base makeup, my powder foundations, makeup bases. You can see that there's I am using Shiseido, Esprique Precious, Givenchy (my Lunasol one is below the Shiseido).
The next drawer contains my eyeliners, I have Clarins, KATE, Canmake, Tiffa, Majolica, etc.
Next drawer is where I house my Urban Decay Book of Shadows and Too Faced Glamour To Go palette.
This is supposedly to be where I keep my lip stuffs but in the end, it ended up as a storage places of sorts.. Haha~
Then here's my Everyday Minerals samples, Lunasol highlighter and Revue loose powder.
Here's some miscellaneous stuffs, measuring tape, scissors and the Winnie the Pooh pencil case contains my stuffs for grooming my eyebrows.
Moving on to the 4+1 tier storage drawers on the right.
The top drawer contains mainly eyeshadow singles, there are Castledew, Etude House, NYX, Majolica, etc.
The next level houses my eye palettes, all Japanese except one. There are a few from Majolica, Fasio, Media, alot from KATE, and one from Banila Co, etc.
Some more eye palettes in the next drawer...
More eye palettes...... I LOVE eye shadows! ^-^
The Hello Kitty is a christmas present from my colleague. :)
Lots of concealer in this drawer... I have Bobbi Brown, Jadilla J, ZA, KATE, etc.. There was a period of time I was very into concealers :x hahaha~
A bird's eye view of the drawer of my vanity... My lip glosses, lip sticks, blushers, cotton pads, perfumes, etc...
A close-up picture of my lip stuffs...
I have Lunasol, P&J, Kiss, Jadilla J, Testimo, Clarins, etc.. Really really like my Lunasol lip gloss and P&J lip stick! If I did not have so many unopened lip gloss/sticks stashed away, I would have bought more!!
The first and second level of my blush collection... Etude House, Lavshuca, Givenchy, VOV, Canmake, Etude, etc.. The pictures seemed to be overexposed.. Oops! @_@
I've never shown anyone this, here's a sneak peak of my unused and unopened makeup (on the left), sheet masks (center bottom) and skin care stuffs (on the right). :x On the right bottom are lots of skin care samples. :xx
Don't think I can ever finish using them... But this wouldn't stop me from buying!
My masks, scrubs, 2 boxes of ampules and some other miscellaneous stuffs are all stored in this drawer...
Lastly, here's picture of my cuties!
Hope this post didn't bore you!

my makeup collection
Alot of my friends have been asking me - how much cosmetics do I own?
In words, I have a semi-modest collection of cosmetics, consisting of both expensive and cheap makeup (mainly cheap makeup, since about 80% of my makeup are from drugstores)
To let youall have a peek of what I have, some pictures have been taken of my existing makeup collection (they are growing slowly but steadily), excluding some of my lips stuffs which I kept in the drawers and I forgot to take pictures of them.. Since its a post on
makeup collection, the below pictures do not include much makeup accessories, makeup tools and skincare. And also, these pictures consist of cosmetics I have opened and used... The others which are new & unused are kept elsewhere and not included in this post. :)
First up, its my 6 tiers drawer - containing my seldom use makeup..
(from bottom)
- 1st drawer - some skincare samples, my eyebrow kit & miscellaneous
- 2nd drawer - blushers (Red Earth, Biotherm, Canmake, Stila, Clinique, etc)
- 3rd drawer - lips (The Skin Food, Kiss, The Body Shop, Shiseido, etc)
- 4th drawer - eyeshadow palettes (MAC, Kiss, Lord & Berry, etc)
- 5th drawer - other eye makeup (eyeliners, sharpener, eyebrow mascara, electric eyelash curler etc)
- 6th drawer - not shown (my accessories like necklaces & rings)
These are on my dressing table (pardon the dirty mirror :P).
My skincare (mainly Kanebo), 2 perfumes (Flower by Kenzo & Clinique Happy), sunblocks and makeup brushes and mascara.
Do you see the 4 small drawers beneath all those bottles? The 1st drawer (from left) holds my hair ties and hair clips, the 2nd drawer holds my facial cottons, 3rd drawer holds my Shiseido eyelash curler, a smaller eyelasher curler & a lash comb, last drawer holds more facial cottons)
Lastly, a 5 tiers drawer on my dressing table...
(from bottom)
- 1st drawer - some miscellaneous stuffs (hair velcro, Spring Heart eyelash curler, Tiffa sunblock, Lunasol makeup base & powder foundation, Integrate lip palette)
- 2nd drawer - base makeup (ZA, Excel, KATE, Faircrea, Canmake concelears, Revue loose powder, Kiss highlighting powders, etc)
- 3rd drawer - blushers (Canmake, Gransenbon, Kiss, KATE, Everyday Minerals, Alima Pure)
- 4th drawer - eyeshadow palettes (Lavshuca, Excel, KATE, Tiffa, Media)
- 5th drawer - eyeshaow palettes, eyeshadow singles & eyeliners (Lunasol, Majolica Majorca, Canmake, Shu Uemura, Stila, NYX, Splash, Clarins, Integrate, Kiss, Revlon, Spring Heart)
Yep! That's all...
I don't view makeup as an everyday chore.. I really enjoy putting on cosmetics, experimenting with new looks, new colors and building up my cosmetics collection. I like opening up my drawers to see many varieties, many colours. :) They light up my day.
