Lipstick collection

My makeup collection is very big and it's still growing! I have drawers full of skincare, face products, eye products and then lip products. Now if you know me or follow me on Instagram you will know how much of a lip ADDICT I am. I love buying lipsticks, lipgloss, lipliner! Just anything lip related. My lip draw has to be my favourite even though it's a big mess, I just love the chaos of this draw! 


My lip draw.
This draw is as full as full can be! I just love it! There's 2 acrylic lipstick holders which I got from ebay, these used to originally hold all of my mac lipsticks, but then my collection got too big so it had to be moved! These acrylic holders hold 24 lipsticks each. The first one is full of my more 'high end' lipsticks like Tom Ford, Chanel, YSL, Dior, Armarni, Charlotte Tilbury, Nars and there's some Illamasqua lipsticks in there aswell as an Urban Decay one.  The one behind that holds a mixture of high end and drugstore brands such as NYX, Bobbi Brown, Lime Crime, Smashbox, Bare Minerals, Make Up For Ever and some Mac Sheen Supremes.  Next to the lipstick holders is the big mess of my lipglosses! I have so many lipglosses and I don't even realise! The ones either side of my lip liners look a lot tidier than the bigger one in the back! The little basket things they're in are from IKEA, everything in my makeup drawers are kept in these little baskets! It's funny looking at my lipglosses because there all nude & peach! I love a nude lip and if i'm ever going to try out a new product I always purchase it in a nude or a peach because they are my 'safe' colours and wear them near enough everyday! Most of my lipglosses are mac as I work there! But there's also some Bobbi Brown, NYX, Illamasqua & Bare Minerals. The basket in the back holds my most used lipglosses, there's some Gerard Cosmetics, Urban Decay, Too Faced, Chanel, Dior, YSL & Nars to name a few! Some of my Favourites include the Dior Addict Fluid Sticks, I have these in the shades 239 & 219 and I love these! They stay glossy and on your lips all day! I love my Gerard Cosmetic glosses there so pigmented and creamy. I am also a fan of the YSL Glossy Stains these are sheerer than the Dior Fluid Sticks but they leave a stain/tint on the lip and stay super glossy!  The last thing to talk about in this draw are my lip liners. I cannot wear a lipstick/lipgloss without one! I have SO many! Mac are my favourites for lipliner because there are so many colours to choose from! My favourite lipliner from Mac is Stripdown it may be my all time favourite lipliner! Other than Mac lip liners I have Topshop (these are amazing and creamy! Just not as long wearing as a mac lipliner) Sephora, NYX (amazing lip liners!) Bare Minerals (another favourite of mine) Nars & Model Co. and more!  My Mac lipstick collection isn't kept in this draw as it got soooo big it needed its own set of drawers...
   


So this is my mac lipstick collection
It's embarrassing how many I actually own! In these draws I have 112 mac lipsticks! I know i'm obsessed! I can't resist when A limited edition collection comes out, the first thing I look at is the lipsticks, it's even better if there in limited edition packaging! Some of my favourite packaging this year has been the Alluring Aquatics collection, it was metallic turquoise with 3D water droplets! It was so cute!  All of my lipsticks are in colour order, so when I buy a new on they all get moved around so the new one can fit it! I sometimes take a picture of them all lined up with there lids off but now I only do it when there's quite a few new lipsticks going in because it takes sooooo long to take all the lids off and put them back on! These are my babies, my pride and joy! I love love love when I buy a new lipstick and it goes in here. I know it's a weird addiction but I love it! I love how it looks and it's definitely my favourite thing in my room and my makeup collection!
