Dreaming in Blush: A peek into my Beauty Cabinet

A peek into my Beauty Cabinet

As a self-proclaimed beauty addict, I have a LOT of products. Way more than I would care to admit, actually. So… erm… cheers to… admitting it? LOL!

I was doing a little bathroom cleanout and thought I would share my favorite little corner with you – my beauty cabinet. I had one in my old apartment as well, which you can see in this video, but it didn’t hold nearly the amount that my current one does! The only annoying part is that I still haven’t figured out how to adjust the shelves, even though I know that it’s possible… so for now I have just worked with it exactly how it came when I moved in. There’s a ton of stuff in there, so let’s get started!

The bottom shelf has the items that I reach for the most often. Normally as I get ready I just keep this cabinet open, and pull items out as I need them. The bottom row has makeup wipes, q-tips, cotton pads, muslin cloths, washcloths, samples that I’m currently trying, and a container holding my most used skincare products. Let’s see what’s in that container:

I have 3 eye creams (I know, who needs that many?):

Kiehl's Creamy Eye Treatment with Avocado: By far my favorite of the bunch. This is my current favorite and I can’t wait to do a full review on this product. It’s so nice, and more moisturizing than any eye cream I’ve tried. I am in love with this little guy.

Kiehl's Powerful Wrinkle Reducing Eye Cream: I have been laying a bit of this under the creamy eye with avocado and I really like the combination. I don’t think that it is moisturizing enough on it’s own (but then again, I have super dry skin), but is fantastic under another eye product (I’m looking at you, creamy avocado cream).

Kiehl's Rosa Arctica Eye Cream: This one is more of a balm than a cream, and it’s a bit odd to be honest. I think I like it. I think?

I have my toner for “dull skin days”, Caudalie Beauty Elixir, and my spot treatment, Lush Grease Lightning. I have my Kate Somerville Deep Tissue Repair Cream, my Kate Somerville Serum Sunscreen SPF 55, my beloved Pevonia Myoxy-Caviar Timeless Repair Cream, and my Eve Lom Cleanser. My deodorant and my favorite CVS eye makeup remover completes the bunch.

The next shelf up is a mixture of skincare goodies. I have a little of everything, from serums to toners to treatments. Here they are, from left to right:

The very top shelf just has a few makeup bags that I use when I travel. It's a bit too high to reach easily, so it's the perfect place to store things that I don't need as often!

As you can see, I have quite a few products hidden away behind a pretty cabinet. You never know what you will find when you walk into a beauty addicts house ;)
