My Eyeshadow Hoard

ByCordelia

Phyrra's Eyeshadow Hoard

Some people are goo hoarders. I have an eyeshadow hoard. Today I’ve got a special video that shares my eyeshadow obsession with you. As an added bonus I did a quick tour  around my makeup room, too, since you’ve been asking for that. Please excuse my skin. The day I filmed this I had my 4th IPL treatment and wasn’t comfortable putting makeup on. Instead I had a bunch of soothing creams on my face.

PR + purchased by me.

My Eyeshadow Hoard

I decided on the term hoard, like a dragon’s hoard, instead of collection. Since, ya know, they are my pretties. Please remember, this is not a normal sized eyeshadow collection. Before I started blogging my MAC collection (which you see in the video) would have taken up only 1 drawer in my sherrieblossom icebox skinny. That’s more of a normal sized collection vs. what you’ll see in my eyeshadows. All MAC and MUFE purchased when the brands were cruelty free.

My Light box with all my beauty books

Above is my light box with all of my beauty / makeup books. I have 3 storage cubes filled with various things I need to review. And of course, a sleeping Phaedra on the floor.

My Storage

This is most of my storage. The 2 Alex on the left contain my nail polish and wigs. The 2 black storage towers are semi-full and the pink one is empty. The Helmer is currently empty.

My Tokidoki Unicorns and Funko characters

These are my tokidoki unicornos, funko pop characters, and other various Cheshire cats and skulls.

My Desk

My desk with the 5 Jack Skellington masks hanging out behind it. You can see both my sherrieblossom icebox and ediva princess on top of my short Alex. I’ve got a Purple Snowball mic on my desk, a webcam, 3 umbrella stand lights and my ring light. I’ve got another flexible neck light on the window sill. You can see both my q-tips and tissues on top of the icebox. (See my blogging equipment here)

  1. I’m definitely an eyeshadow hoader too! Though I am kinda broke all the time because I’m a student so I just buy a lot of eyeshadows when they’re on sale. I’m also slowly getting obsessed with liquid to matte lipsticks!!

  5. I want your hoard. Also, I’ll take those Jack Skellingtons and the poodle, OK? I promise I don’t want to eat any of it.

    Thanks,
    Smaug.

  8. Do you have a system to your organization? Like, certain limited edition palettes together or colour themes… Super cool collection, quite overwhelming!

    1. My organization leaves much to be desired. I organize by brand for eyeshadows, but palettes I just organize by what i’m reaching for the most.

  16. So cool to see your studio! It’s really great! Now tell the truth, did you have a big clean up or are you always so neat and organized?

    1. I was waiting months to do this because I had to wait for my husband to get the last of his stuff out of that room so I could rearrange it the way I wanted. I ‘organize’ with the big pink cubes.

  17. I’d love to play in your makeup room! Where did you buy your light box, if you don’t mind me asking?

  22. wow! awesome awesome awesome eye shadow collection!! I wanna see your lippie collection next! 😉

  23. Some people go to Orlando to play at Disney World. I think I’m going to go to Orlando to play in your makeup room. 🙂

  24. Very nicely organized! Do you find blogging demands tend to dictate what you’ll wear for the day, or does mood factor in as well?

  25. Wow, Courtney– I am very impressed by your collection. I love how you have organized your makeup room– it is so user friendly and the space is so pleasant. I wish that I could have a light box set up and left out, but my cats would turn it into a cat bed! Thank you for your amazing tour!

    1. Thank you! Yeah I currently don’t have any cats and Phaedra doesn’t get into things for the most part. My makeup room is the smallest room in the house but it’s perfect for what I do with it.

      1. My pleasure! You really have created an idyllic environment! You are lucky that Phaedra isn’t a savage. My dogs (Delilah and Lucy) don’t get into too much, but all bets off with my savage (and beloved) feline crew! I still haven’t pulled the trigger on a light box for that reason. It just seems like a lot of effort to have to pull it out and then put it away after every use! It would be covered in cat fur in about 2 seconds flat- LOL! Your makeup room looks like the perfect size. My smallest room is my office, but it is filled with books and stuff for work, and while I have piles and full drawers of products to review I don’t have a dedicated space for blogging. It just seems as though I have overflow everywhere! You have really inspired me. Not to mention that I am still cleaning the drool off of my keyboard after looking at your eyeshadow stash! <3

          1. My pleasure! You and me both– entropy is a constant struggle in my feline kingdom (in which I do not rule 🙂
