Protect your make-up kit

This is a very random post but worth reading if you own tons of make-up and cosmetics in a storage room with fire sprinklers!!!

My friend is a make-up artist and her kit is pretty breath taking! There is everything from M.A.C to Chanel and all the best skin and hair treatments out there but as it is so enormous i am talking boxes and boxes of the stuff she hired out a small office in a converted warehouse to store all her kit. I was in my element whenever we had to go there together as i was always to dip my hand in and take some bits, anyway less of me ranting…to my friends utter shock and mine of course she went to her office one day to find that in the night the residential fire sprinklers went off and as she has never thought about this her kit was not protected and came in to find the majority of it ruined. All her gorgeous eyeshadow pallets that were laid out on tables were soaking, wigs ruined and knotted, blusher pallets crumbled your getting the gist of it, basically the placed was in ruins and her much beloved kit was not such a pretty site anymore! Obviously you cant blame the fire sprinklers for this as it could of been much worse and all set on fire saving nothing and items that are irreplaceable such as her portfolio but what you can so is prepare for incidents like this and fully protect your kit!

When the office eventually dried up all the make-up is now in clear plastic boxes, pallets are never left open with the lid closed firmly at night and wigs are all kept safe in a cupboard. The good thing that has come out of this is that its a joy to go into the office now and everything is more organised and neat.

So if you are going to rent space to store your make-up kit like my friend think twice before walking out leaving everything lying around as you do not want to go through the same experience and risk ruing your treasured kit!!!
