Beauty Drawer: My Makeup Storage and Organisation, Benefit, Models Own and More

It's kind of a sin to admit as a beauty blogger that you don't own or use a ton of makeup, and even worse to admit that you don't want to, but I have to admit that my storage and organisation is even more important because of the small space I have to store it in. I keep a small but regular supply of products I generally know and like, as well as samples to try, so enjoy having a nose around my beauty drawer!

Striped Box, Accessorize: samples (Benefit 'That Gal')

Secrets Tin: 100ml travel bottles, travel makeup brushes (Real Techniques), Zinc tablets (Holland and Barrett)

White Wicker Basket (from set of 3), John Lewis: extra makeup sponges, spare toothpaste (Colgate)

Gaudi Mug, Barcelona: current lip products to use up (Rimmel Stay My Rose lipgloss)

Spare tissues (Kleenex Balsam travel tissues)

Yes, it does need a sort out, any ideas? How do you organise your products?

Makeup Monday: Models Own Make-Up Blending Sponges Review

So the Models Own blending sponges have been in my in-tray for a while, waiting to be tested. I've now tried them out four or five times and can say I'm almost fully converted from my makeup brush ways. I love the simplicity of applying BB Cream, so using a beauty blending sponge to apply foundation has been genius. Provides even coverage, using the wider end for larger areas such as cheeks and the small end for eyes, nose and hairline areas. They can even be used for bronzer and blusher, although I haven't been that adventurous yet. I'd definately recommend these, although they have an odd scent and the price is a bit steep for two sponges.

I'm definately keen to try more beauty blenders and they're especially useful for travelling when you might not be able to clean makeup off your hands so easily. Which ones have you tried?
