What's in my vanity cabinet- The 4th and final Installment: The Bags,.

The final installment I save the best for last (I think,. ). Stacked up it look like this,.
Lost some dust bags already so I put them on huge plastics. It doesn’t look good so I’m thinking of buying a dust bag for each of them,.

Here they are unveiled.

My collection by brand:

Kathy Van Zeeland – love the rocker chic, modern-hip style for gimiks

Nine West – basic black and brown for office with the exception of one studded bag. Lacoste – for casual days
Guess, CK, Tommy Hilfigger and Ralph Lauren
Freebies from Clinique and Lancome
Liz Claiborne (the black ones) and Rosetti (the brown) – for office too

Etc… Gucci, LV, Fendi
I've always love bags more than clothes. I use to buy nice non-branded bags. Then my lemming evolved,.hehe,. Would you believe that except for the two brown LVs ( I had them since late 90's) subsequent purchases for this collection was in Y2006 only? Big spender, really,.

I think I have more than enough bags. I (hopefully) won’t buy anymore till next year. As BF says, branded bags are heavy duty, they’re not disposables. They last long that I grow tired of them sooner than they’re actually worn-out. Lately im lemming for Channels, LVs, Guccis,. so I need to stop and look at all these, I have a good collection already,.


So there, the final installment,. I hope you guys enjoy sight-seeing,.

What's in my vanity cabinet-3rd Installment

The 3rd installment - The toiletries cabinet,. It used to look like this.

I find it unorganized and waste of space. So I bought plastic drawer and fitted it like this.

But my growing collection of bags need more space so I placed it on the space under.

Hair products gets their own basket

Inside the drawer are as follows:

1st layer - Brushes

2nd layer - supplements
3rd layer - beauty junks

4th layer - pouches, make-up bags.



One last to go,... tata for now,.

What's in my vanity cabinet – 2nd Installment

Here's the second installment from my treasure cabinet... my Perfume cabinet..

I've been into perfumes eversince I was grade 2.. While the little girls use Johnsons baby cologne, I was using Jovan,. When I went to highschool everyone was into Nenuco and Angel's Breath while me, I used Poison by Christian Dior,.

I've emptied bottles of perfume already but my fascination with collecting bottles (and scents)started in Year 2006. Here's what I've treasured so far,.

Here's what I use in the office.. (Yup, that's a second bottle of Mango adorable, Im inlove with this scent, this will always be a staple scent for me)

I’ve emptied some of them, I just put them at the table side coz I find it fascinating to look at and I sometimes sniff the scent from the spritzer . What’s left is a body mist from Avon (to freshen up), a little from The body shop Vanilla and a French perfume (at the back of Prescripto bottle) – this perfume is too strong and last really long so I just use a spritz of this and spread it all over.. I’m not even halfway from the bottom..

You might be wondering what's a prescripto bottle is doing here,. This was among the limited scent, its not 'a version of' or 'immitation' scent. This is amongst the original scent released back then and it was a good musky, flowery scent...

This one is a Liz Claiborne perfume given by BF (I forgot to include it in the photoshoot,. hehe..).. I use this at office since it is a musky, powdery scent too.. Sometimes I use it for overnights,. its a sexy scent..

So there, hope you like the second part,.. two more to go,..

EDM Swirling Bowl

I bought swirling bowl from EDM before. When I got them I didn’t know what to do with the biggest bowl (2 cups measurement, I think). I don’t wanna use them for food either so I just kept them for awhile then I realized that I can use them to store my MMU baggies. I’ve transferred some to pots already but there are quite a many that’s left and I don’t wanna buy pots anymore.

So I just grouped them into four meshbags (from different MMU companies too)
Foundie, finpow, eyeshadows and blush

And voila..

I think their cute..

What's in my vanity cabinet - 1st Installment

I mentioned on my previous post that I will unveil what’s in my ‘treasure’ cabinet,. So here’s the first installment..

Presenting what’s inside my cabinet named Lotion..

Well not all really fit in here, that;s why I want a side rack.. So i wont be placing others beside my dresser..


Here’s the one I use in the office.. (it is evident now that I'm not good in keeping my things at the office organized)

Twice to thrice a week I sleep on my grandma’s house (coding days, or when my call time is early) so I stock up some there.. mostly with SPFs for protection since I will be commuting..

Now, had I proven myself to be lotion freak as I mentioned in my Honest Scrap?.... I layer them sometimes with my body oils. And yah, I get frantic whenever I finish up a blottle that I eventually buy a replacement (either same product or others to try) Other lotions I’ve tried before that are worth buying is St. Ives. There’s a lot of variant to choose from and I remember I’ve tried all of them before,..

So that's it.. see you on next installments..

Organizing my stuff

I want everything within my reach. That includes tissue, cotton, Qtips, wetwipes etc. I keep them in this dresser.

I also use this cute case for storing my my hair bands, medicines and lippies I mostly use. It ‘s kinda small though, long lipsticks doesn’t fit well, I need to place them in slanting position so space is wasted, only 2 will fit. Big round lipgloss pot stores in a row while the small ones fit by putting it sideways to maximize space. But nevertheless, its cute and organized. Fits the side part of my dresser

Perfume, lotions and toiletries each have their own cabinet too. Soon I’ll open them for you..

Organizing MMU part 2

Here’s how I organize my MMU stashes at home,

I place some on my train case,. On the left compartment are the blushes,. The right are the foundies and finpow while at the bottom are the eye shadows and zip lock baggies..

On my table counter are the MMUs I always use like powder primers, silicon primer foundies, finpows, blushes ES, brushes and Everyday Mineral (EDM) full size jars which do not fit my blushes compartment

Organizing MMU part1..

I’ve always read that some gals are hesitant on switching to Mineral make-up (MMU) coz its messy on bag,. I say why bring them with you,. If you’re a student leave some on your locker room, if you’re already working have a kikay kit in you drawer.. MMU stays anyway, you might just wanna retouch once otherwise it tends to cake,.. so here’s how I organize my MMU.. At the office … I’ve four पौचेस


The make-kit I bought from MAD Minerals contains the foundie, finpow and ES..

XOXO pouch more ES and Blushes (All MMU)..

Mesh Bag… some more MMU and non-MMU like uber chead fashion21 stick eyeshadow and nichido girts night out lining pencil/shadows.. and mascara..

Pink pencil case I use for storing my brushes॥
