New Muji Additions + a peak inside

I remember the day my first ever Muji package arrived. It was glorious.
Unwrapping the beautiful acrylic drawers and setting them up on top of each
other, then carefully filling each one up and arranging my makeup so I could see
exactly what I have – it was (and still is) a brilliant feeling. I love knowing
what I own just by glancing at my dressing table and lets not forget that
organising each section by the brand is SO satisfying! (I can’t be the only one
._.). I think I bought my first Muji drawers a year and a half ago, and now I’ve finally completed my set up. They’re fairly affordable for what they
are, however I found it easier to purchase 2 drawers at a time, rather than all
of the set up in one go. This post is going to talk about my new Muji additions,
but let me know if you’d like a full ‘tour’.

P.S Don’t judge me whilst reading this post – remember I’m very very savy, those Dior foundations? I’ve not paid full price for a single one :p I actually got Dior star totally free thanks to the Boots advantage card system! I shouldn’t have to justify my collection, but I’ve had a couple of, well not very subtle remarks – so there you have it. Work hard, play hard as they say. *clears throat* so lets get started:

My newest two additions were purchased with the need of keeping all my bases
together and in one place, in mind. I decided to pick up the Stackable Acrylic CD Box (£6.95) and it is perfect
for holding all the foundations, BB and CC creams I own. It looks gloriously
sleek and almost like there is not acrylic in-front! I appreciate how roomy this
is, I can arrange bases in whatever order I like. Currently it’s the Dior
sisters with my new HG base – the Make Up For Ever Face &
Body review coming soon. However I plan on arranging them
based on summer shades at the front and winter at the back. I’ve mentioned before that
I don’t have to worry about my face matching my neck as it’s not on show one of the
perks of being a Hijabi hehe, however I do prefer using my warmer shades in the summer months as I have tanned a little.

 In my first drawer I
have my beloved Kevyn
Aucoin Sensual Skin Enhancers in SX08 reviewed and SX06. They’re phenomenal, I use them as concealers
and sometimes as a tinted moisturiser too. A tiny bit goes a long way and they
have the best coverage ever. The Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Pomade
in Chocolate reviewed here is my go-to brow product, as well as the
L.A
Girl Pro Concealer in Creamy Beige reviewed here – my most used drugstore concealer. The
Essence I heart stage
eyeshadow base is pretty awesome, it covers all discolouration and
seems to enhance longevity whilst increasing pigmentation of shadows, so when I
have the time I use this (otherwise I’ll just apply left over concealer). My
Benefit Erase Paste
concealer in 3 is a fantastic corrector for those days the SSE
doesn’t cut it alone and I also have my current favourite eyeliner – the Soap and Glory Supercat
liner which is easy to use and last all day as long as there’s a
good base in place. Finally (this little draw fits a lot right!) I have the
Topshop Glow Pot in
Polished which is part of their limited edition ‘5 years of beauty’
range and recently I have been obsessed with this stuff! The creamy texture
makes it so easy to apply and for this new ‘strobing’ trend this is your
best-friend – it’s a mix between a silver and a champagne shade and it really
gives a beautiful glow as the name suggests.

 On to the second drawer, I have my most used lip products as well as my ‘new
ins’. As you can see they’re all a kinda ‘my lips but better’ shade or some
variation of it. I currently have the Colourpop Lippie Stix in Frida, Lumiere and Brinx
with the last being my current favourite. Gloss wise I’ve been enjoying the
Tanya Burr Lipgloss in
Lunch Date – non-sticky and beautifully pigmented, I find this is
excellent on top of lipliners. The Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvets in 07 Nude-ist and 12 Beau
brun are my newest drugstore purchases – first impressions are I
can 100% understand the hype. They’re almost weightless on the lips, non-drying
whilst being pigmented in one swipe AND long-lasting too. The two Rimmel
lipliners East End Snob
and Spice reviewed are old time favourites of mine, pigmented
creamy and both colours are my cup of tea. I also have two brand new lipliners
from Make Up For Ever
Aqua Lip Liner in 2C and 3C there will be posts
dedicated just to these beauties, I shan’t give away too much away but I am
absolutely SMITTEN. The Rimmel Provocalips in Make Your Move was an instant
hit for me when I first bought it, the shade is my absolute favourite and this
stays put for hours on end. You can read the full review here. The Rimmel Apocalips in Celestial was one of the first
lip products I really loved, a medium/dusty rose pink shade in a glossy formula.
It’s the kinda product I can just throw on and it’ll make you feel a little more
put together whilst being comfortable on the lips. The last lipstick Wet’n’Wild in Bare It All is a little on the
nude side, but paired with one of the lipliners it looks brilliant! Also one day
I will get around to going the neutral wet’n’wilds swatches and review I promise
^_^ Finally I have the mini sample of the Benefit Roller Lash
mascara which was a sample in a magazine, you guys know me and
mascara we have a love/hate relationship but I have to say I’m quite happy with
this for day-to-day.

Phew! That was a longer post than I had intended, I’ve linked everything I’ve
mentioned above. Please let me know if you enjoyed this type of post, I
personally LOVE Jasmine’s monthly Muji contents update (her blog is here and
it’s amazing, the photography, the content and the blogger herself, she’s so
genuine and kind!) and if you guys enjoyed reading this I’d like to add more
Muji to my posts ^_^
