Seasonal Vanity Swaps: What to Keep Out and What to Store Away

Let’s be honest—our makeup desk and makeup bags often become a chaotic mix of products we think we’ll use year-round. But the truth is, your heavy winter foundation or that bold red lipstick probably isn’t doing much for you in the middle of summer.

By making small seasonal swaps, you can clear up space and make your daily routine run a lot smoother. Less clutter. Less searching. More using what works for the current season.



What to Keep Out – And What to Store Away

Here’s a quick guide to help you decide what belongs on your dressing table and what can take a break until the weather shifts again:

Summer Essentials

  • Lightweight foundation or tinted moisturiser
  • Cream blush and bronzer for a natural glow
  • SPF-infused skincare
  • Waterproof mascara and smudge-proof eyeliner
  • Bright or neutral lip tints

Winter Essentials

  • Full-coverage foundation or hydrating base
  • Rich lip balms and deeper lip shades
  • Cream highlighter for a dewy finish
  • Heavier moisturisers and night creams
  • Hair oils and frizz-control products

Anything not on this list? Just pop it into a labelled storage box or drawer. Trust us—you won’t miss it!

Bonus Tip: Do a Quick Expiry Check

As you rotate your products, give each one a quick once-over. Is it past its Period After Opening (PAO)? If so, it’s time to toss it. Don’t hold on to that half-empty bottle just because it’s still hanging around—your skin will thank you for it!

Want a Setup That Works Year-Round?

Seasonal swaps are easy to implement, but they become even more efficient when your vanity is already organized by zones. That way, you know exactly where each product belongs, making it a breeze to rotate, store, and refresh your setup throughout the year.

If your dressing table still feels chaotic or you’re unsure where to start, we’ve got your back.

How to Choose the Right Radiator Cover?

Ch oosing radiator covers isn't just about picking something that looks nice. The right one improves heat flow, adds usable space, and can even keep kids and pets safe. But to get it right, you need to start with the basics. 1. Measure Your Radiator (Properly) Before anything else: measure, then measure again. Radiators come in all shapes and awkward sizes, and guessing won't get you far. Here's what to note down: Height   Measure from floor (or skirting board) to the top of the radiator. Now add an extra 5 cm to it and you will have your height for the radiator cover. Width   Now, measure the width or the length of the radiator pipe work. You must include any side valves or pipes. Why? We must include them in our measurements to hide them completely.  Once done we need to add 5cm on each side to give proper air ventilation around the radiator cover. This will avoid those boxy look that a cut to cut measurement will give. Depth   Next we need to measure how far it s...
