I committed to the Alex 9 drawer units a few months ago after deciding to embrace the fact that my collection has moved into "super-sized" territory, but I'm still trying to figure out organization within each drawer. This was so inspiring! Thanks for another fab video - you look beautiful!
I love how you're explaining to people that your collection is this large because it's your job and having all of this keeps you knowledgable and is really for OUR benefit. Not that you're just some over the top hoarder haha. Also love that you offer no apologies for it :)
Being someone who is getting a late start on loving makeup (didnt really wear any til i hit 20ish.. 25 Now).. I saw your collection and i was in AMAZEMENT. My husband is getting things to "start" my own little makeup room, desk.. Storage.. Ect ect. I do not have near as much stuff as you have in one drawer ha but ive found a new love (or obsession if you ask the hubby). I use your collection as a goal and love all your videos. I swear i talk about your videos like your family around my house ha. My aunt actually originally followed you and suggested i joined your blog and channel and i am soooo glad i did. Ive learned so much from watching you as well as others and youve gave me the courage to try products and colors id never look at before. So thank you for being awesome and opening this new world wide open for me!! Kayla from Newman ga, 25, married mommy of a three year old little man.
I just love the variety of brands and products you own! You're so educated in the makeup field and there's always something to look forward to! I love watching your videos, whenever I'm having a bad day I just watch your old videos and you never fail to put a smile on my face. Thank you for doing this video! :)
You have fantastic taste Em. SO glad to NOT hear any apologies about what you have! Noone should EVER be saying sorries for having ANYTHING they have...
I saw this video when you first posted it and I'm back again because nobody has a makeup collection like yours where instead of always going by brand, you actually go by colors or shade or even finishes. It's such an easy way to use up your products because your not going by brand. Love this video and defiantly given this video a thumbs up! Thank you so much :)
I really liked how you organized your eyeshadows! i know that might seem weird to some people but i totally get why you have it categorized the way you do.
Great video Emily. LOVED that you didn't make any apologies. I want to know how you packed your whole make up collection into a 22 minute video! :-) You look beautiful as always. ♥ Elle
I love how you include drugstore products into your collection! I feel that a lot of makeup collectors and artists have nothing but high end makeup and for me it's a bit intimidating. But seeing that you have and love drugstore products has actually inspired me to buy a few drugstore stuff that I am now in love with so thanks :)
Hands down,THE BEST collection I have seen yet. I absolutely luv how you organized and stored all your makeup. I cld completly get lost in your collection for days/months/years. You look stunning BTW!!!
After watching your collection, which was so fun to watch, I noticed you don't ever talk about luxury makeup brands like Guerlain, Tom Ford, YSL, Chanel, Burberry, etc. Would you ever consider introducing reviews/tutorials on those luxury brands?
She does have a few videos here and there that you have to search for but her channel is mostly specifically catered to only drugstore. But she does have higher end reviews
I consider her to be knowledgeable in a lot of makeup products but was so surprised she didn't have as higher end stuff ! That's pretty neat though. She can cater to those who can't afford Chanel.
I do have some higher end stuff in there from some brands you mentioned :) If I went through & named everything specifically, it would've taken ages. I admit drugstore is my favorite- love discovering diamonds in the rough :)
emilynoel83 I love that you focus on drugstore and throw in a little high end. I have been watching others that started out with drugstore and now focus mainly in high end and I feel I have nothing in common with them any more. Please don't change that too much.
Linda M emilynoel83 Yes! I REALLY love your videos. I LOVE that you talk in detail and give pros and cons and really explain and describe things so well. I enjoy some of the other you tubers videos for entertainment value and fun (yours as well, esp the ones with Tyler) but for informational purposes, I'm coming here!! I also really enjoy BBlive. I got to join for the first time last week and I really enjoyed watching and commenting. Really love that you focus more on drug store stuff!
Fabulous collection. Glad you didnt apologize! I really like how you've organized your single eyeshadows. I also really like your setup with the lipstick and glosses!
By far THE BEST collection I have seen yet. I cld completly get lost in your makeup room for days/months/years. I absolutely luv how your organized and stored everything. You look sooo beautiful in this vid btw!!!!
I love how you put the corresponding colors of lipsticks and glosses in drawers side by side. Please film an updated makeup collection for this year. Love you!
Love that you focused on the collection as a whole, and didn't call out every single product. Made it much more enjoyable and gave me better insight into the overall collection.
Out of all the beauty "gurus" I really enjoy your reviews and tutorials the most! You provide a lot information and honest reviews on products! Another great video!
I've seen many collection on RUclips channels, but this by far is the largest. Omg- I'm half impressed,half traumatized lmao(jk). But I think you're are the sweetest and are going to be the best mom ever. It's life changing and the greatest experience you will ever have. It's magical! Take care and do lots of relaxing.
OMG this was huge. You know you have an makeup addiction when lipsticks were sorted in each drawer by color lol. The buggiest and I mean huge collection I have seen is by Tarababyz. She has stacks and stacks of these beautiful storage units filled with the most expensive and drug store makeup!
With such a big collection like yours, I would LOVE to see you have an every day kind of makeup drawer that just houses your ABSOLUTE favorite! I value your opinion so much and it helps me in a lot of situations and I think showing us what you would to be perfect would help SO much!!!! Love the collection by the way!
I think it's fantastic that you categorize/organize by color oppose to brand. So much more likely to use new products, discover things you forgot about and find new faves! I've always had mine that way and I find it to be much more efficient. Thanks for sharing!!
Your collection is incredible, especially the lip section. It makes so much sense to have lipsticks on one drawer and the glosses on another drawer. I also loved your idea of keeping things by color, I just tend to group things by brand and often I ignore products that way. Thanks for sharing your collection with us!
Cool! let me know if it's a different palette tag from this one-- Perfect Palette TAG! I love my palettes & would be happy to do something more in depth!
Yes it is a different tag that has not caught on as much as the perfect palette tag. It's called the palette collection tag and I don't know who came up with it but Jen luv's reviews did a video called confessions of a palette addict tag and I have seen a few others, but that video I liked that she took the time to show her entire collection. Love you Emily! I watch and rewatch all of your videos, because of you I can make the best choice on what to spend my money on. I really enjoyed your favorite too faced palette video and would love to see other videos like that from different brands.
Love how you subdivide the categories by eyeshadow color, concealer consistency, primer purpose... Makes so much more sense than dividing your entire collection by brand.
For someone who does makeup, this is such a cool collection! I love the way you reused the drawers and dish tray. I have tons of different makeup trays. I found that the mesh office tray sets fit the best, by allowing the most room for my products I'm really into rose gold. I just found the best spray paint. I have a short paper sorter file cabinet from a cousin which I plan to used as a makeup or jewelry cabinet under my table or desks. I depotted my CoveGirl quads and other palettes into a CD case and a SHEA MOISTURE case. Thanks for sharing!
That's quite the collection! I realize it has been building for years, but when do you decide to pull the plug on items? Is it when they're not longer in regular rotation, or if they start to look and smell funky? lol Just curious.
She probably would keep things that are old/expired anyways because she mentions random things all the time, and it's probably handy to keep so she can show them.
Well keep in mind she also has some collecter/limited edition type things and also products that have sentimental value to her that we all know how have it is to get rid of our makeup!
When I have certain shades that don't work for me or that I'm not planning to use/talk about anymore, I share with family. Other things I just throw out when it's old. And then there's another category of things that I hold on to for the purpose of reviews-- it might be a discontinued, older product that I'm not going to use on my face, but I want to keep it to compare shade/texture to something newer that comes out & pass along that info in reviews :)
I think it would be interesting to show some of the oldest items in your collection and give a brief comment about it, like where you got it, or why you chose it...like a makeup memory time capsule.
Loved every single minute :) I have a video suggestion for you! I'm always on the hunt for an eyeliner that won't budge on my waterline. I can never seem to find the perfect one, I'd love to see your take on this! Sorry if you've already filmed something like this! emilynoel83
I was just at Sephora and needed something like this and they suggested the Urban Decay 24/7 Black Velvet liner. It's a combo of their best selling black liner and their black eye shadow so its a bit drier and won't be going anywhere. A big tip for making eyeliner last longer is to set it with a shadow of the same colour, so I trust that this liner will work well!
I've been using Benefit's They're Real Liner from a RT accent brush onto my tight line recently. It's a bit of work but has been working well the last few days until I find something a little more convenient.
Inglot Cosmetics AMC eyeliner gel in shade 77 (Inglot uses #'s instead of the actual name of the color, so shade 77 is their black) costs $12, is waterproof & can be used in your water line. They have other shades as well (all different colors from your regular browns & purples to whites, reds, bright greens, blues, pinks, etc ...). It is absolutely amazing! So creamy & pigmented. I've been having a lot of problems with allergies this season & my eyes have become incredibly sensitive & watery & I use this gel liner on my waterline & tightline & it goes nowhere! I apply it with my Real Techniques eyeliner brush & a high end brand being only $12 is amazing to me. Especially for how well the product works. Hope this helps 😊!
by far the best make up collection video EVER!!!! first time i see a consistent system of make up storage. still are and always will be the smartest beauty guru on here. love you!!!!!
YES!!!!! PLEEEEEASE?!?!?! I've had that palette for a while now and have barely used it...the shades are beautiful but I definitely need some ideas for eye shadow looks!!! 💕
Hi Emily! I've never commented on your videos but I have been watching them for a couple of years now! You taught me how to do my makeup one baby step at a time. I totally love your videos! They are so helpful to me, and I know I am learning from one of the best! :) Anyway, this just makes me want to have my own makeup room too! I am the same way with organizing what I have as far as separating them and everything, and I can totally see myself having drawers like those if I had more room in my house. I just wanted to drop by and say hey! And thank you for what you do! Don't ever change! Lastly, congratulations on the baby!!! :)
If anyone would tell me I have a lot of makeup, I am gonna show them this video! Tbh, this is by far the biggest collection I have seen on RUclips. Loved every minute of it.
what a great collection. My youngest daughter came to visit and we watched this together -- she said your makeup room was a girl's life long dream! lol I especially love and appreciate that you have both high and low end good products. Thank you so much for sharing!
And I thought I had a lot of make up. I used to have a lot but when I started watching RUclips videos I bought tons & tons more than I will ever use. Nothing compaired to yours. In fact, I think you have more than I have ever seen & I have watched a whole lot of collections from gurus but thats cool. My addictions go from nail polish to make up to shoes to purses & right now I'm on a jewelry addiction & I have more jewelry than anyone I know so it's all good I think LOL Love your videos & keep on collecting.
You go girl! Do NOT apologize for your lovely collection. Nothing irks me more than when people hate on beauty gurus for their makeup collection... It is what you guys do for a LIVING!!
Honestly i've seen so many girls on youtube call themselves beauty gurus and keep an enormous collection of makeup, most of which they dont really do any useful reviews. But you definitely use this makeup for our benefit and because you truly love the work that goes into good content. This collection is so beautiful....lol. Thanks emily!
Great collection! I really hope you have a lock on that door lol I am a mom of 3 and I am letting you know that makeup room will NOT last one day in the mommy world. Everyday 1 of my kids gets into at least 1 of my makeup drawers :)
And my kids never messed around with the cheap or easy to replace stuff--my little graffiti artists always went straight for the Estée Lauder or my discontinued favorites!
WOW! I'm really impressed at how organized everything is-- you did a great job! I have like 5% of your makeup collection and can never seem to get it organized this well!
I just threw out everything that was over 3 years old and repurchased most of it. What do you do with your make-up that is over 3 years old since you have such a large collection?
I love the how you organize your makeup collection slightly different from other youtubers. I think organizing it by color is way more efficient than by brand. Great video!
Thank you for not apologizing. Anyone who is going to be personally offended by you having a lot of makeup (which is your job) has their own problems to deal with and it's not your responsibility to make them feel better.
I am loving the new setup and the expanded makeup collection! I have shamelessly watched this 3+ times already. Collection videos are my FAVORITE! :D Thanks for doing this!
Thanks so much for doing this video, Emily.. That was a lot of talking for 22 minutes! lol.. I don't think a lot of people realize you keep so much of your makeup, because you like to test the colors/consistency, etc of new products against other products you previously purchased.. I think the size of your makeup collection is perfect, especially for your line of business.. Anyway - love you!!
Isn't Em just the BEST !!!! She is SO thorough in All of her Videos. I've never been as addicted to any RUclipsr as much as Em ( and Marlena w/ MakeupGeek.) I recognize You from posting on Melmphs Channel....I think that is So Sad what happened with her..She seems like she's completely changed, at least to me. I REALLY Miss the "old" Mel, She gave such Funny Reviews and her Personality was Addictive !!! Now she just does tons of Sponsored Vids....I had to unsubscribe from her b/c she never has interesting Vids anymore. Oh well, Just wanted to say HI, cause I recognized You Hon :) Take Care !!!
Jenny Linehan Emily is my favorite!! I could watch her ALL day and never get bored.. and I always trust her opinions..She's one of the most honest people on here.. I agree with everything you said.. Very sad about Melissa - I agree. She used to be one of my favorites.. I think I finally given up on her - I get too annoyed when I watch her videos now.. I guess I just kept wishing she'd center herself and come back "to us", but that seems unlikely.. Thanks for the nice response!!
Jenny Linehan I had to unsubscribe from her channel also (Melmphs). I was new to her channel and just asked a question and I got jumped on all over the place by what must have been someone who was with her for a long time) I felt really bad, I sure didn't want to create any problems I just didn't know her channel well enough I guess and because of that and because she herself didn't even care to respond but let someone else talk for her, I unsubscribed. Some people seemed to feel the need to defend when I think these beauty gurus are very intelligent women and I believe they can take care of any situation themselves. I don't understand any of this, as we are all just on here to learn and have fun, but even when you are asking an honest question, they feel the need to jump down your throat, I will not be a part of that sort of channel anymore. There are too many other beauty channels out there to pick from to put up with that sort of thing:)
oh my! if i were you i would make a rule for myself. not a single lippie or wet and wild pallette for one year. lol! and i thought i was being naughty having 11 foundations hehehe btw you look gorgeous!
I would love a declutter video. I am sure thats not needed for you right now because you just moved. But if you were to ever film one in the future, I would be all over that.
I will never again be embarrassed by the size of my collection! Thanks so much for the tour, and ideas on how to use storage to make the collection more usable. Thanks!
Have you thought about insuring that collection? I am serious. I lost a lot of my collection when I had a water main break in my bathroom. Flooded my drawers, but then again, I didn't have your collection. I've had a fire years ago (parents did, but I was there), I lost about 250.00 back in '79. The water main break was about the same. To lose all of that would be years of money spent down the drain. Do an inventory and even though you got some of that sent gratis by the companies', it's still something that costs money to replace. You are doing this for your income now, (video vlogs) so get some insurance on that (copious!) stuff.
I'm sorry, but I don't buy that you "love" all that stuff, especially since 90% or more of it hasn't been used...and is likely expired. What a waste and an example of consumerism at its best.
no problem! one thing to keep in mind- trying tons of makeup is what gives me the knowledge to do what I do and draw comparisons, know how things stack up, etc. It's basically my education & makes me more well-informed to review products.
Hi Emily! I can see that Belle is growing, and so are you! Adorable. Thanks for showing us your wonderful makeup collection. I am in awe of your organizational skills. Have a great day!
I used to watch you all the time but then got so caught up with everything and stopped for a bit. to see you happy & PREGNANT, I can't believe it. I'm so happy for you and your husband. congrats!!
This was amazing, especially how you are not long in your new home and already have this organised perfectly, I would still be thinking about it and I only have to worry about a drawer each of face, lip and eye products. Yours is a dream collection.
Thank you for having no apologies for your collection. I hate it when beauty gurus apologize for their make up. This your career and what you do to make a living. No apologies are necessary. Also you are the most lovely pregnant person ever. ❤️
Enjoyed every minute of it! Thank u for taking the time to film and show us ur makeup heaven. Seeing ur baby bump was an added bonus! Take care and never change
I've been looking forward to this video for so long, and it didn't disappoint! These videos are so fun, and Emily has my favourite collection so far. It's neat to see all the great products she has, and the way she keeps it all organized! One day I'll get my mass of makeup a little more organized like this hopefully!
I watch this and I go, "wow Emily how you gots all that makeup?" Then I realize how many years I have been watching you and all the reviews and hauls you've done and I go, "oh yeaaaaah!" Totally loved the wet n' wild drawer.
Yay! Love collection videos! Its awesome to see how you have everything organized and what you use to store your makeup. The set up is great! Thanks so much for sharing it with us!!!
I just bought the Alex 9 drawer a couple weeks ago and i love it!! I love the way you have everything organized. I also really love that you have so many affordable products.
I just wanted to thank you. Right now I'm currently pregnant with a baby I'm having for my husbands aunt/sister (It's his aunt by blood but his grandmother adopted him so by law she's his sister) Right now I'm 35 weeks and 5days and way bigger then I was with my own kids (gained almost 50 pounds which is a lot when you started at 108) and you make me feel like I can look just as beautiful as if I wasn't pregnant and that makes this loooooong 40 weeks so much easier so a huge huge thank you to you.
If that's not the cutest baby bump, then idk!!!!
Hi Kathleen! ily
I know right! She is glowing!
I committed to the Alex 9 drawer units a few months ago after deciding to embrace the fact that my collection has moved into "super-sized" territory, but I'm still trying to figure out organization within each drawer. This was so inspiring! Thanks for another fab video - you look beautiful!
I could hear a choir of angels every time you opened a new drawer! haha So much fun to see!
LOL love it!! :D
I love how you dont separate all your stuff by brand!
I love how you're explaining to people that your collection is this large because it's your job and having all of this keeps you knowledgable and is really for OUR benefit. Not that you're just some over the top hoarder haha. Also love that you offer no apologies for it :)
I love your room- it's so pretty! Your collection is amazing! 😍💗😊
I love you! ❤
Hi Emily, you are glowing. Your baby bump is adorable. Awesome collection and set up. Have a great day!
aw thank you dear!

it's a long one! my makeup collection! :D
Kind of like my collection in the future lol
Dang. You love your lip stuff haha. My biggest category is probably eyeshadow. I need all the colors :)
Can't wait to watch... been waiting for this one. But for now #worldcup2014
@The side-by-side nude drawers, Brilliant!!
***** What?
I love how you don't apologize or have a long disclaimer about your collection. It's your passion and it's beautiful. Im in love with it!
Love how genuine you are, you are the first RUclipsr thats said I make no apologies and that you were proud, love it!
I just love the variety of brands and products you own! You're so educated in the makeup field and there's always something to look forward to! I love watching your videos, whenever I'm having a bad day I just watch your old videos and you never fail to put a smile on my face. Thank you for doing this video! :)
Loved seeing your collection! You did a great job organizing and love the way you thought things out! xo
Thanks so much, Crystal!
You have fantastic taste Em. SO glad to NOT hear any apologies about what you have! Noone should EVER be saying sorries for having ANYTHING they have...
Please film an updated version
yassss!
She really should
22:56 minutes of heaven! awesome collection!
i love ur channel rachel!
I saw this video when you first posted it and I'm back again because nobody has a makeup collection like yours where instead of always going by brand, you actually go by colors or shade or even finishes. It's such an easy way to use up your products because your not going by brand. Love this video and defiantly given this video a thumbs up! Thank you so much :)
I really liked how you organized your eyeshadows! i know that might seem weird to some people but i totally get why you have it categorized the way you do.
Loved every minute!!
yay thank you!!
so crazy that I was going to post the only 2 makeup collections I could watch again and again and not be bored is Emily and Tara! Love both you guys!
I love that you make no apologies for your collection. You should be proud and in no way guilty for having so many wonderful products!
Great video Emily. LOVED that you didn't make any apologies. I want to know how you packed your whole make up collection into a 22 minute video! :-) You look beautiful as always. ♥ Elle
I love how you include drugstore products into your collection! I feel that a lot of makeup collectors and artists have nothing but high end makeup and for me it's a bit intimidating. But seeing that you have and love drugstore products has actually inspired me to buy a few drugstore stuff that I am now in love with so thanks :)
Gorgeous collection and I'm SOOOOOO glad that you said "sorry, not sorry" about your collection. LOVE IT!!!
Hands down,THE BEST collection I have seen yet. I absolutely luv how you organized and stored all your makeup. I cld completly get lost in your collection for days/months/years. You look stunning BTW!!!

The best organization I have seen yet! My OCD is so satisfied with your color coordination!! :)
Out of all the beauty "gurus" I really enjoy your reviews and tutorials the most! You provide a lot information and honest reviews on products! Another great video!
Looks fantastic and so organized! Love it!
PLEASE DO A MAKEUP COLLECTION AND STORAGE!! LOVE YOU GURL (:
Easily one of the best organization videos and setups I have seen! I love how you separated everything by color!
I've seen many collection on RUclips channels, but this by far is the largest. Omg- I'm half impressed,half traumatized lmao(jk). But I think you're are the sweetest and are going to be the best mom ever. It's life changing and the greatest experience you will ever have. It's magical! Take care and do lots of relaxing.
Have you seen Tarababyz collex?? It's massive!
kcashwell omg I know! She did a really good job on hers! Amazing collection!
OMG this was huge. You know you have an makeup addiction when lipsticks were sorted in each drawer by color lol.
The buggiest and I mean huge collection I have seen is by Tarababyz. She has stacks and stacks of these beautiful storage units filled with the most expensive and drug store makeup!
Take a look at Maya Mia (or Mia Maya)'s makeup collection. She'll give Emily a run for her money! Both are impressive!
Check out thecandyshow .. Its unreal .. All high end
With such a big collection like yours, I would LOVE to see you have an every day kind of makeup drawer that just houses your ABSOLUTE favorite! I value your opinion so much and it helps me in a lot of situations and I think showing us what you would to be perfect would help SO much!!!! Love the collection by the way!
i feel like i've waited my whole life for this video
Ikr!!!!!
I think it's fantastic that you categorize/organize by color oppose to brand. So much more likely to use new products, discover things you forgot about and find new faves! I've always had mine that way and I find it to be much more efficient. Thanks for sharing!!
I'm dead😲😳*jaw drops* no word can be expressed for this that's is a ton of makeup 💄
Your collection is incredible, especially the lip section. It makes so much sense to have lipsticks on one drawer and the glosses on another drawer. I also loved your idea of keeping things by color, I just tend to group things by brand and often I ignore products that way. Thanks for sharing your collection with us!
I would love to see your palette collection more in depth, maybe you could do the palette collection tag that has been going around?
Cool! let me know if it's a different palette tag from this one-- Perfect Palette TAG! I love my palettes & would be happy to do something more in depth!
Yes it is a different tag that has not caught on as much as the perfect palette tag. It's called the palette collection tag and I don't know who came up with it but Jen luv's reviews did a video called confessions of a palette addict tag and I have seen a few others, but that video I liked that she took the time to show her entire collection.

I really enjoyed your favorite too faced palette video and would love to see other videos like that from different brands.
Love how you subdivide the categories by eyeshadow color, concealer consistency, primer purpose... Makes so much more sense than dividing your entire collection by brand.
Im just going to keep this video at hand whenever anybody tells me I buy too much make up..
For someone who does makeup, this is such a cool collection! I love the way you reused the drawers and dish tray. I have tons of different makeup trays.

A true makeup lovers dream!!! Thanks for sharing.
I like that you don't apologize for something that you love. Too many youtubers do.
That's quite the collection! I realize it has been building for years, but when do you decide to pull the plug on items? Is it when they're not longer in regular rotation, or if they start to look and smell funky? lol Just curious.
I am wondering this too! Especially since most makeup isn't good after 3-4 years.
She probably would keep things that are old/expired anyways because she mentions random things all the time, and it's probably handy to keep so she can show them.
Well keep in mind she also has some collecter/limited edition type things and also products that have sentimental value to her that we all know how have it is to get rid of our makeup!

And then there's another category of things that I hold on to for the purpose of reviews-- it might be a discontinued, older product that I'm not going to use on my face, but I want to keep it to compare shade/texture to something newer that comes out & pass along that info in reviews :)
I think it would be interesting to show some of the oldest items in your collection and give a brief comment about it, like where you got it, or why you chose it...like a makeup memory time capsule.
I love how you didn't separate by brand. Seems much easier the way you've done it by color! Great collection, what a fun room!
Loved every single minute :) I have a video suggestion for you! I'm always on the hunt for an eyeliner that won't budge on my waterline. I can never seem to find the perfect one, I'd love to see your take on this! Sorry if you've already filmed something like this! emilynoel83
I was just at Sephora and needed something like this and they suggested the Urban Decay 24/7 Black Velvet liner. It's a combo of their best selling black liner and their black eye shadow so its a bit drier and won't be going anywhere. A big tip for making eyeliner last longer is to set it with a shadow of the same colour, so I trust that this liner will work well!
I've been using Benefit's They're Real Liner from a RT accent brush onto my tight line recently. It's a bit of work but has been working well the last few days until I find something a little more convenient.
I really like the maybelline gel liner in my waterline, but specifically the charcoal colored one seems to stay best, don't ask me why haha
MissGodessOfLight Jenny Fournier sarah koltonuk thanks for your suggestions guys! :)
Inglot Cosmetics AMC eyeliner gel in shade 77 (Inglot uses #'s instead of the actual name of the color, so shade 77 is their black) costs $12, is waterproof & can be used in your water line. They have other shades as well (all different colors from your regular browns & purples to whites, reds, bright greens, blues, pinks, etc ...). It is absolutely amazing! So creamy & pigmented. I've been having a lot of problems with allergies this season & my eyes have become incredibly sensitive & watery & I use this gel liner on my waterline & tightline & it goes nowhere! I apply it with my Real Techniques eyeliner brush & a high end brand being only $12 is amazing to me. Especially for how well the product works. Hope this helps 😊!
by far the best make up collection video EVER!!!! first time i see a consistent system of make up storage. still are and always will be the smartest beauty guru on here. love you!!!!!
Emily can you please film an eye tutorial using the toofaced boudoir eyes please!!!!!
YES!!!!! PLEEEEEASE?!?!?! I've had that palette for a while now and have barely used it...the shades are beautiful but I definitely need some ideas for eye shadow looks!!! 💕
Hi Emily! I've never commented on your videos but I have been watching them for a couple of years now! You taught me how to do my makeup one baby step at a time. I totally love your videos! They are so helpful to me, and I know I am learning from one of the best! :)
Anyway, this just makes me want to have my own makeup room too! I am the same way with organizing what I have as far as separating them and everything, and I can totally see myself having drawers like those if I had more room in my house.
I just wanted to drop by and say hey! And thank you for what you do! Don't ever change! Lastly, congratulations on the baby!!! :)
If anyone would tell me I have a lot of makeup, I am gonna show them this video! Tbh, this is by far the biggest collection I have seen on RUclips. Loved every minute of it.
You should then maybe watch shaanxo her makeup collection is absolutely HUGE
Natalie loves beauty watch tarababyz collection it is massive!!
Tanner Yergin Jeah I know I just watcht her collection a few days ago and its amazing
no. tarababyz has the biggest collection on utube. three hours worth lol. i frigging love that girl! u should check her out u would die! :)
what a great collection. My youngest daughter came to visit and we watched this together -- she said your makeup room was a girl's life long dream! lol I especially love and appreciate that you have both high and low end good products. Thank you so much for sharing!
And I thought I had a lot of make up. I used to have a lot but when I started watching RUclips videos I bought tons & tons more than I will ever use. Nothing compaired to yours. In fact, I think you have more than I have ever seen & I have watched a whole lot of collections from gurus but thats cool. My addictions go from nail polish to make up to shoes to purses & right now I'm on a jewelry addiction & I have more jewelry than anyone I know so it's all good I think LOL Love your videos & keep on collecting.
You go girl! Do NOT apologize for your lovely collection. Nothing irks me more than when people hate on beauty gurus for their makeup collection... It is what you guys do for a LIVING!!
Can you do another video on products you've hit pan on?
Honestly i've seen so many girls on youtube call themselves beauty gurus and keep an enormous collection of makeup, most of which they dont really do any useful reviews. But you definitely use this makeup for our benefit and because you truly love the work that goes into good content. This collection is so beautiful....lol. Thanks emily!
I could fit all my makeup and brushes in one of the drawers!
I'm glad i came across your videos. Its like i cant stop watching them. They never get boring. Your awesome!!!
Great collection! I really hope you have a lock on that door lol I am a mom of 3 and I am letting you know that makeup room will NOT last one day in the mommy world. Everyday 1 of my kids gets into at least 1 of my makeup drawers :)
And my kids never messed around with the cheap or easy to replace stuff--my little graffiti artists always went straight for the Estée Lauder or my discontinued favorites!
Especially the ones that look like crayons!!!
WOW! I'm really impressed at how organized everything is-- you did a great job! I have like 5% of your makeup collection and can never seem to get it organized this well!
I just threw out everything that was over 3 years old and repurchased most of it. What do you do with your make-up that is over 3 years old since you have such a large collection?
She goes through her collection and de clutters
OMG Emily. This is the coolest way to organize makeup I've ever seen! The way that the lipsticks and glosses are done is very cool!
Wow! Now THAT is a makeup collection! Love it. xoxo
I love the how you organize your makeup collection slightly different from other youtubers. I think organizing it by color is way more efficient than by brand. Great video!
Thank you for not apologizing. Anyone who is going to be personally offended by you having a lot of makeup (which is your job) has their own problems to deal with and it's not your responsibility to make them feel better.
I am loving the new setup and the expanded makeup collection! I have shamelessly watched this 3+ times already. Collection videos are my FAVORITE! :D Thanks for doing this!
Thanks so much for doing this video, Emily.. That was a lot of talking for 22 minutes! lol.. I don't think a lot of people realize you keep so much of your makeup, because you like to test the colors/consistency, etc of new products against other products you previously purchased.. I think the size of your makeup collection is perfect, especially for your line of business.. Anyway - love you!!
Isn't Em just the BEST !!!! She is SO thorough in All of her Videos. I've never been as addicted to any RUclipsr as much as Em ( and Marlena w/ MakeupGeek.) I recognize You from posting on Melmphs Channel....I think that is So Sad what happened with her..She seems like she's completely changed, at least to me. I REALLY Miss the "old" Mel, She gave such Funny Reviews and her Personality was Addictive !!! Now she just does tons of Sponsored Vids....I had to unsubscribe from her b/c she never has interesting Vids anymore. Oh well, Just wanted to say HI, cause I recognized You Hon :) Take Care !!!
Jenny Linehan Emily is my favorite!! I could watch her ALL day and never get bored.. and I always trust her opinions..She's one of the most honest people on here.. I agree with everything you said.. Very sad about Melissa - I agree. She used to be one of my favorites.. I think I finally given up on her - I get too annoyed when I watch her videos now.. I guess I just kept wishing she'd center herself and come back "to us", but that seems unlikely.. Thanks for the nice response!!
That's an excellent point...her collection is extensive and she uses it to compare new products to ;-)
Jenny Linehan I had to unsubscribe from her channel also (Melmphs). I was new to her channel and just asked a question and I got jumped on all over the place by what must have been someone who was with her for a long time) I felt really bad, I sure didn't want to create any problems I just didn't know her channel well enough I guess and because of that and because she herself didn't even care to respond but let someone else talk for her, I unsubscribed. Some people seemed to feel the need to defend when I think these beauty gurus are very intelligent women and I believe they can take care of any situation themselves. I don't understand any of this, as we are all just on here to learn and have fun, but even when you are asking an honest question, they feel the need to jump down your throat, I will not be a part of that sort of channel anymore. There are too many other beauty channels out there to pick from to put up with that sort of thing:)
The way you store your single eye shadows is genius!
And that is why you are my favourite youtuber ;)
I found myself smiling lots throughout this video! Love you!
oh my! if i were you i would make a rule for myself. not a single lippie or wet and wild pallette for one year. lol! and i thought i was being naughty having 11 foundations hehehe btw you look gorgeous!
lol! :) well i tend to review new WnW stuff that comes out, plus the brand sends most of those things to me.
I've seen a lot of makeup collections and by far yours is the most functional and practical.
I would love a declutter video. I am sure thats not needed for you right now because you just moved. But if you were to ever film one in the future, I would be all over that.
I will never again be embarrassed by the size of my collection! Thanks so much for the tour, and ideas on how to use storage to make the collection more usable. Thanks!
Have you thought about insuring that collection? I am serious. I lost a lot of my collection when I had a water main break in my bathroom. Flooded my drawers, but then again, I didn't have your collection. I've had a fire years ago (parents did, but I was there), I lost about 250.00 back in '79. The water main break was about the same. To lose all of that would be years of money spent down the drain. Do an inventory and even though you got some of that sent gratis by the companies', it's still something that costs money to replace. You are doing this for your income now, (video vlogs) so get some insurance on that (copious!) stuff.
emilynoel83 LOL the toe pointing!!!
....jealous....
Time for a new collection video in 2018! 😍🙌🏽🙌🏽
If your baby will be a girl...she'll be very lucky! XD
This video blew my mind. It's amazing how much you have yet it is all still organized insanely well
I'm sorry, but I don't buy that you "love" all that stuff, especially since 90% or more of it hasn't been used...and is likely expired. What a waste and an example of consumerism at its best.
I love watching Emily! She is the only "Makeup Guru" on RUclips that I trust.
Just my opinion way to much makeup. I know I will get a lot of haters for saying this just what I'm thinking as I'm watching.
no problem! one thing to keep in mind- trying tons of makeup is what gives me the knowledge to do what I do and draw comparisons, know how things stack up, etc. It's basically my education & makes me more well-informed to review products.
I know your right, your not the average person this your job. Sorry
For the average women, yes, this would be too much makeup. However, makeup is her job! Would you tell an artist they have too much paint?
That is her job of course she has alot of makeup,what do u expect from a makeup collection?! Smh
I don't understand how it is anyone's business how she spends her own money.
I love watching these videos, because it gives me ideas on how to store and organize my make up and sometimes ideas I may have never thought of!
Hi Emily! I can see that Belle is growing, and so are you! Adorable. Thanks for showing us your wonderful makeup collection. I am in awe of your organizational skills. Have a great day!
I used to watch you all the time but then got so caught up with everything and stopped for a bit. to see you happy & PREGNANT, I can't believe it. I'm so happy for you and your husband. congrats!!
This was amazing, especially how you are not long in your new home and already have this organised perfectly, I would still be thinking about it and I only have to worry about a drawer each of face, lip and eye products. Yours is a dream collection.
Thank you for having no apologies for your collection. I hate it when beauty gurus apologize for their make up. This your career and what you do to make a living. No apologies are necessary. Also you are the most lovely pregnant person ever. ❤️
Enjoyed every minute of it! Thank u for taking the time to film and show us ur makeup heaven. Seeing ur baby bump was an added bonus! Take care and never change
I've been looking forward to this video for so long, and it didn't disappoint! These videos are so fun, and Emily has my favourite collection so far. It's neat to see all the great products she has, and the way she keeps it all organized! One day I'll get my mass of makeup a little more organized like this hopefully!
Omg, Emily's makeup playground!! Can't wait for the baby proofing to come for this room. Maybe just a good lock or a screen door? Love it!
Your collection is my favorite so far out of all the RUclipsr collections I've seen!!!
I watch this and I go, "wow Emily how you gots all that makeup?" Then I realize how many years I have been watching you and all the reviews and hauls you've done and I go, "oh yeaaaaah!"
Totally loved the wet n' wild drawer.
I'm so happy that you don't wait a long time to upload a makeup collection! Love it!
Yay! Love collection videos! Its awesome to see how you have everything organized and what you use to store your makeup. The set up is great! Thanks so much for sharing it with us!!!
I just bought the Alex 9 drawer a couple weeks ago and i love it!! I love the way you have everything organized. I also really love that you have so many affordable products.
Your collection video has been the best one I've seen so far, I love watching these for storage ideas and to just ooh & aahhh over everything lol
I just wanted to thank you. Right now I'm currently pregnant with a baby I'm having for my husbands aunt/sister (It's his aunt by blood but his grandmother adopted him so by law she's his sister) Right now I'm 35 weeks and 5days and way bigger then I was with my own kids (gained almost 50 pounds which is a lot when you started at 108) and you make me feel like I can look just as beautiful as if I wasn't pregnant and that makes this loooooong 40 weeks so much easier so a huge huge thank you to you.
