Dressing Table Tour


I've used my dressing table in the background of a few of my photos now so I thought I'd give a little tour of how I like to keep it and what I use it for.

When I moved into my flat almost a year ago, I got so excited about the fact I could choose all my own furniture, particularly a dressing table!  Previously in my parents' house I had always done my make up in the bathroom which had great light, but I wanted somewhere I could sit and relax instead of standing and leaning over the sink!

The table itself is the Ikea one which everyone has ha, here is a link to it on the website.



There are two little drawers to either side of the mirror which I use for keeping my costume necklaces.  On top of the left hand side one I have my perfumes and also a pot with small make up brushes which I don't use on a regular basis.


On the right I have two other pots; in the white one I keep everyday brushes and products such as tinted moisturiser and mascara; then in the bigger one I have my big face make up brushes.  The furry creature is my cute wheatbag which can be microwaved and used as a hot water bottle.  I also have a smaller mirror which is magnified on one side.  I need this as the big mirror is too far away for me to see properly if I've not got my contacts in... #glasseslyf


Then in the middle I have my mirrored jewellery box which I use instead for storing lip products - blogged about this last year here if you want to see what's inside with swatches - it hasn't changed much!  On top are my Yorkshire Soap Company products simply for decoration and making my room smell good!  Then in the tumbler, which was an Arran Aromatics candle, I am currently keeping my earrings and watch.  I used to keep them on the pink tray until I moved the soap onto it.  

The dressing table also has a little shallow drawer just underneath as well with 3 sections.  In here I keep hair bobbles/brushes; sunglasses; everyday make up and nail varnishes.

I hope you've enjoyed my miniature tour!  If you have anything similar then leave a link in the comments - I'm so nosy and love reading them!

  1. I love your little set up and I am very jealous that you have vanity table (my flat is too small to get one! :( ). I know that almost everyone has this Ikea dressing table, but somehow everyone's looks different and you definitely added it some personality. I love the cuddly cat and all microwaveable animals! :)

    1. I didn't even think about the size of my room when buying the furniture and it literally only just fit in by centimetres - so lucky haha!! Thank you, yes it's interesting seeing how everyone 'accessorises' their own! xx

    1. Thank you! It was gift years ago but I'm not a huge jewellery wearer and I didn't want it to go to waste so thought I'd put my lipsticks in it instead! xx
