MY KINDA CUP OF TEA

Being a bit of an organised freak I can't help but look for new ways to indulge my need of keeping things neat and tidy! This now seems to have spread across to my make-up, something that I struggle to keep tidy, as I have so much of it but I think it's such a shame to hide it away in a box where it can't be seen. Especially some of my favourite products like my Yves Saint Laurent lipstick that has beautiful casing, and to be honest probably spends more time looking pretty on my shelf than on my lips! Anyway I've recently found a new way of keeping my make-up organised whilst still looking pretty and remaining accessible. The Make-Cup. Teacups have recently come back in fashion and there are so many pretty styles available. If you want to keep it cheap then have a browse in a few second hand/ charity shops where you can often find some great vintage gems. My particular teacup in the picture below is actually from a car-boot sale and cost me all but £1!

    1. I get what your saying but as it was second hand and not part of a set it seemed to be put to better use as a make-up holder!

      Thanks for commenting!
