Howdy Beauty Buddies…
That’s right folks, I’m back again this week with yet another beauty chatter however this time it’s a much requested peek inside my beloved cosmetic stash as I take y’all on a guided tour of my makeup collection, housed rather neatly inside my Ikea Alex drawer set that featured on Building A Beauty Room: The Reveal a few months ago!
On this week’s upload I’m focusing on Foundations, and albeit a compact collection compared to others, it’s certainly filled with pocket friendly buys that will suit pretty much every bank balance. Like I mention in the intro, if you’re expecting a cabinet filled with high-end luxury products then this ain’t the video for you HOWEVER if you’re on the lookout for some inspiration when it comes to treating yourself to a new drugstore look then pop the kettle on and make yourself comfy as I talk you through some of my tried and tested face bases!
As always, you can *Click Here* to subscribe to the Confetti & Curves YouTube channel so you never miss a future upload *Yee haaw* Of course do let me know in the comments below if you’ve tried any of my current stash or why not suggest what foundation I should try out next. I love to hear your recommendations so get typing as I grab my shopping list 😉 Thanks so much for stopping by!
Cheerio Chums…

I really love ikea drawers and as you’ve said, it is such an investment drawer that lasts long and the foundation aisle looks so fabulous.

I’m just in love with how neat your drawer is – usually with me and drawers they start out lovely and tidy but quickly become a mess, out of sight out of mind! xD

Oh I just love a neat drawer set HOWEVER if only you’d have seen the utter state of my craft drawers Emma!!! Shocking!!! You’d have sworn a bomb had hit 😮 Why is my makeup so organised yet my craft stuff never stays neat and tidy?! lol xxxx

What a great idea for a series, looking forward to the other three videos! I hope you don’t mind me asking how long it takes you to use up a foundation? The No7 pump looks so handy too! xx

Thank you lovely lady!!! That’s so encouraging to read, especially knowing you’re looking forward to it 😀 hehe Oooh good question – well if it’s full coverage it could take about 10 weeks but if it’s not it could take as little 6… though to be honest because I jump about trying different ones out I always seem to end up with lots of little dregs to use up! lol Very frustrating!!! I need to use alot of this stuff up before I go splurging again 😀 XXXX

Oh my goodness that is so quick! The last foundation I used up took me a year :O I get a bit paranoid having lots of foundations open at once, so I tend to only have one or two at a time haha x

Oooooh my gosh really?!? Flip, maybe I’m using too much too quickly – I have such a terrible habit of applying too much when my skin goes red 😦 Might need to hold back a bit on my application Chanelle lol Yes I know exactly what you mean and I find that’s the downside of my foundation drawer, I’ve too many open at once – need to start emptying it before I buy anymore *sigh* I’m a Foundation addict it would seem lol xxxx

Maybe I’m not applying enough haha? To be honest I don’t need a lot, and I tend to wear a light layer. Your foundation always looks so nice and flawless on camera so it’s probably me lol xx

No no, it’s not you at all huni, we just have our own wee ways of applying I guess. I don’t think there’s a right or wrong to it – just as long as it works. I do wish I used alot less… would certainly help save me a few pennies that’s for sure lol XXXX

I would LOVE to try the Urban Decay range of foundations – in fact I think I’m going to put that on my wish list for a mini summer splurge! Can I blame you for influencing me on that one?! 😉 lol
XXXXX
Oh I know, I go a little crazy with trying them out – those blooming Boots points are to blame *sigh* though I’ve lots of little dregs to use up before I buy any more as it’s getting out of control… think I must have a short attention span when it comes to persisting with foundations!!!

Love your layout! So nice! Such a good set of drawers! Have to say that Makeup Revolution foundation is very strange, what an odd shade!

Awwh thank you so much Lauren, that’s so nice of you to say 🙂 Brill drawer set for sure!!! Isn’t the MUR foundation just so damn weird?! It’s like milk of magnesia or something – utterly bizarre! Maybe I’ve got a faulty bottle – it’s that confusing I’m starting to doubt myself lol XXXX

No bother Karen 🙂 I know! When I seen the colour I was rather confused too haha! I haven’t heard much about it either so maybe that’s why haha! I mean its nice they are catering for paler skin tones but that’s a bit far haha!

Thise IKEA drawers have so much room for makeup and more makeup. They seem to be very popular too. You have a nice collection of foundations. The Fit Me one is the only one I’ve used and is currently using and love it! Xoxo

I think that’s half the problem – I have so much room that I keep wanting to fill it with more goodies 😉 lol lol Ahhh yes the Fit Me, think I kinda got on with that but prefered the Super Stay! I seem to be have an on-off relationship with Maybelline right now, but so chuffed it works for you and that you like it huni 🙂 XXXXX

Oh totally. They do that on purpose so people buy more “crap.” Do we need it? No, I mean yes 🙂 The Super Stay is super popular. It’s seems like Maybelline can be “unstable” in a relationship haha a lot of makeup items can be a eh, or a yayyyyy!! Xo
