So, I’m a big fan of Mineral Makeup and nothing excites me more than getting a jiffy bag full of teeny baggies containing varying shades of sparkly gorgeousness (yes, I am still a sparkle whore).
I’m forever meaning to share these little hauls with you, as I know the swatches can be useful, but swatching is such a time consuming thing – and time is a commodity that has bottomed out since the birth of Leila.
The next best thing I can do at the moment is share my storage solution for my little piggies…

These are great, I believe they’re meant for nail things – but this is how I use them. I buy these from a seller on eBay who ships from Hong Kong and I pay £4.50 inc. shipping for 24 pots – not bad I reckon!

Any of you collect pigment samples? How do you store them?


I’ve often wondered how people store these! i hate the thought of all those bags lol xxx
Oooh they’re handy. Mine are in a shoe box. Which seller is it? So she sells the containers AND holders together? I’d only need the holders really.
Thats a fantastic idea.
Hey, where do you get your pigment samples from? I’ve been looking around recently as there are so many colours to choose form i think samples are the way to go until i find my faves! Great way to store them too btw! x
Hi Jenn, The little bags drive me crazy to get product out of – they’re useful for keeping the postage costs low from the US though!
@VexinTheCity: Seller is e.metro, the pots and container come together in the one auction.
@TalulaB – Glad you like it!
@Lauren I get my samples from all over, at the moment, I’ve been loving The She Spaces Astrology Collections, and they’ve just released a gorgeous LE August Collection for the Autumn that I’m itching to get my hands on!
I buy each pot seperately from superdrug/boots etc.. this is so much smarter!!
Hi tali, you should definitely give these a try, so much easier for storing all those little samplers!
Ooh what a great idea! I’ve just ordered some mineral samples from pure luxe cosmetics- if I decide minerals are my “thang” then i’ll deffo be following your lead!
