Makeup Accessories You Need
In our latest blog post, we are compiling our favourite makeup accessories. These items make our lives much easier and improve our makeup skills. We thought we’d share them with you so you can benefit from them too. Let us know in the comments below if you’ve tried any of these or have a makeup accessory that you think we should use!
Organiser
Our top choice for an organiser is the Cilifatal Cosmetic Beauty Organiser. This product is well built with a robust plastic, making it stable and practical. It features a criss cross design which helps you to neatly organise and separate your items. As well, it can rotate smoothly and quietly which helps you to access your products quickly.
Its dimensions are 12 by 12 centimetres, which helps you to save space. For us, putting our makeup and jewellery in an organiser was a game changer. We are quite particular when it comes to style, so we opted for this product due its stylish design. Arguably it will be a suitable feature for any bedroom or bathroom. Moreover, it can be used for more than just makeup. For instance, we have two: one for our makeup and jewellery and one for our stationery.
We are not the only ones who love makeup organisers! Good Housekeeping highly recommends them also, saying “organising your beauty products could help shave minutes off your morning routine, and figure out what you’re reaching for most often. You can separate your everyday makeup essentials from those you save for nights out, and lots also have compartments perfect for cotton pads and cotton buds” (Source: Good Housekeeping).
The Cilifatal Organiser has three compartments, which help you to separate products out. This organiser also receives a full 5-stars from all reviewers of the product on Amazon.
Travel Cubes
For travelling organisers, we highly recommend the Coolzon Packing Cubes. These space-saving suitcase organiser cubes help you to pack and stay organised when travelling. The cubes are made of waterproof nylon fabric which is ideal for storing makeup. They are portable, washable, moisture proof and dustproof. This is why we trust these 100% to transport our makeup safely.
I’m sure we’ve all had the dreaded thought (or maybe even reality!) of our makeup and lotions spilling out all over our cases amid travel. Since discovering this product, our makeup has been kept safe and secure – regardless of the length of journey.
We also found this product to be particularly useful when going through airport security. Instead of having to do the mad dash to take our liquids out, so they can be scanned, we simply packed them all in the one cube (in a clear plastic bag first) and then placed this in the big bucket to be checked at security. This saved us so much hassle, time and stress.
LED Mirrors
The next makeup accessory on our list is the ‘Makeup Mirror LED Touch Screen’. This makeup mirror provides a bright and clear reflection, perfect for applying your makeup at any time of day. It is rated ‘Amazon’s Choice’ and rated 4.5/5 stars from over 2,000 Amazon reviews.
We have to admit, this product looks a little gimmicky. But after using it, we were pleasantly surprised at how much it helped in our makeup application process. We found that the brightness made it easier than ever to apply natural-looking makeup. In addition to using it for makeup, we quickly found ourselves using it when we were doing our skincare routine at night also.
It has a 1200mAh battery, which provides just over 4 hours of continual working time for LED lighting. It can be quickly recharged for daily use. To use this product, you simply touch the switch of the makeup mirror to turn on its light. If you long press the touch screen button then the brightness will adjust. You can opt to have a dim or very bright light. It’s also fully adjustable and can be viewed at various angles. Perfect for placing on top of any makeup vanity/table you have in the house. However, given its size and weight, you could also easily bring this makeup with you on the go. It fits in handbags and luggage – making it perfect for travel also. And hey! Maybe you could store it in one of the Coolzon Packing Cubes 😉
Similar to the last mirror, another recommendation we have is the ‘Fancii LED Vanity Makeup Mirror’. Unlike the last model, this mirror features a brilliant storage compartment underneath. It has a handy 5-compartment base, which can be used to store makeup, brushes, jewellery, and hair accessories.
The mirror is 38 centimetres in height and can be tilted 360 degrees – providing greater adjustability than the previous model. It’s finished with a white glossy effect, making it perfect for any home decor. It’s powered by a micro USB (which is included) and can also be powered by 4 x double A (AA) batteries – making it portable and ideal for travel. The mirror also features a clever function which will automatically turn the light off after 30 minutes of inactivity – ensuring you save energy.
Brush Cleaner
Last on our list of accessories is the ‘DUcare Makeup Brush Clean Set’. We didn’t realise how useful such a small product would be until trying this brush cleaning mat. It has a built in soap cleanser, saving you time and money. The soap gently cleans and conditions your makeup brushes and sponges, helping maintain their bristles and sponge. In turn, your makeup tools will last longer and cleaner. Clean tools are essential in order to reduce the chance of facial breakouts.
We hope you like these makeup accessories as much as we do!
