...goes the phrase! The notion that everything should have a place to be stored and that it should be tidily returned there when not in use. But the notion is easier said than done!
I decided to heed the advice, starting with the mess of a make-up drawer of my dresser, where all manner of make-up items were messily strewn about, without any proper care, attention or order. I no longer knew what I had, so naturally began using the same make-up time and time again!
Time for a cull! Everything was emptied, inspected and sorted; ancient mascaras and blunt lipsticks were chucked away, as were crumbling eye-shadows and the remainder of make-up and hair accessories were all categorised into separate compartments - eyes, lips, face & tools and hair, then housed in trays from Muji (otherwise known as organising Mecca!). Now that organised order has prevailed, I a) know and see what make-up I have and b) can avoid unnecessary impulse purchases!
