College Countdown: Packing Makeup and Toilitries

Makeup
So this is where I keep all of my Makeup!  It was a basic small five drawer set with clear drawers from Walmart, and then I took tacky paper which I got from the dollar bin at Target and washi tape and decorated it!  I plan to label the drawers with chalkboard labels, but I have bad handwriting so I decided to wait and lett someone else write on them...

In the back of my desk organizer I keep my letter organizer with my eyeshadow palletes
