My Stash....

Before I get into reviews or FOTDs, I'd like to share with you my beloved makeup stash:


Yes, that's right... It's a craftsman toolbox. I used to use sterlite drawers, but I soon grew out of them. Sure, it's not the best for moving around, but it's sturdy, has lots of space, and it's easy to organize my makeup in. Let's take a peek when it's opened....

A blog to start it all off....

I'm Brelki, as the blog indicates, and this is my makeup blog. Whether you're a friend of mine who I nagged into coming here or you've somehow come across this page from MUA, Specktra, or anywhere else in the interwebs. I hope to add quite a bit on here in the next few weeks: pics of my stash (current and past), product reviews, FOTDs, swatches, and much more. Anyway, welcome, and thanks for stopping by! :)
