Getting ready in the mornings or for a night out is one of my favourite things to do. When you have the perfect space to do this then it makes it even more fun.
Living at university, it’s hard to make the best out of your student flat which you haven’t designed yourself. But making the most of what you have has to be done.

I have the smallest desk I have ever seen. It’s meant to be a work space for my laptop and books, but I can’t even deal with it. So I work from my bed and turned my desk into my dressing table.
So here is my beauty space.
Make up brushes are life!! Any girl will agree with me. I probably have too many but you cannot never have enough brushes. I use different means of storage; I have a cup from IKEA, an old coffee jar with some ribbon around it and a can with wrapping paper around it. I love up cycling things. This is such a good idea to do rather than going out and spending lots of money on expensive make up storage when you probably have lots of things you could use around your house.
My brushes are from Amazon. I brought all of the ones here for around £25. They are really good quality as well. I will do a post about them soon.

I brought this ‘makeup junkie’ stand from Forever 21 for £2.50. I stored my make up in a basket before and I could never remember what I had, so this stand is so handy. I kind of wish it was bigger because my entire make up collection does not fit in here. But eventually I will add to it.
I also brought this make up bag from Forever 21. This was £3. When I was going home for the summer it clicked I didn’t have a makeup bag. I mean what girl doesn’t have one. So I thought I would treat myself to one. My entire make up collection doesn’t fit in it though, although I don’t think you would find a bag big enough to fit it all in!
And finally I have a heart shaped basket with the rest of my makeup in it.
My mirror is my favourite present I’ve ever had. The lighting in my room is awful; with a lamp as well it just doesn’t cut it. So this mirror and light in one is perfect. It has two sides, a normal mirror and a 5x zoom one on the other side. I would love it to be a bit bigger but it still does the job and that’s good enough for me!

Ultimately when I leave university and have a permanent home then I will make my dressing table the best it can be. I want lots of lights and draws and a makeup collection which would make every beauty blogger jealous! Let’s hope that I have a good job then ey!
