Makeup Organization......

I don't know about you, but I know that I can seriously trash a bathroom while trying to get ready.  It's a gift, I can't help it.  You can go on youtube and find hundreds of videos on makeup organization.  Those folks have a ton of makeup!   They dedicate entire rooms, closets and wall space so that they can have every eye shadow color on the market, or at least from Sephora.  They also have a lot of ideas on keeping it all together, most which would not work for me, until I saw this one...........



I love it!  It has enough space to hold my skin care items, wash cloths, makeup brushes and the top of it can hold a few lotions, q-tips, cotton squares, etc.  



Normally, I am one of those women who doesn't like to keep anything on the bathroom counter that isn't absolutely necessary, but I made an exception for this.  No more digging around and destroying the lower cabinet for me.  Most important of all, having it within my reach has meant a very neat bathroom for over three weeks now!  It also allows the shallow drawers in the cabinet to be available for hair items and other grooming supplies.



The bottom drawer in this particular unit is a little deeper, which I love, so great for skin care items.  Then I separate my face and eye products.  I ordered this one on Amazon, and there are other options too, smaller and larger.  It was a bit of a splurge, but the price has gone down significantly (like $120-$150 less) since I first started looking for them over a year ago. Clear Cube Makeup Organizer

I would love to know your organizing ideas for makeup too!  Have a wonderful day!

  2. Nancy this is great! Although I do not wear make-up very often, this organizer sure would be great for my sewing supplies! The items I use the most would not only be visible, but within arm's reach. Thanks for the idea!

    1. Thanks Becky! I think that's the key, the items are visible and you're not digging around for stuff. This puppy is nice and sturdy too, and your cool fabrics lining the drawers would look really good! :)

  3. My makeup organization is really easy. One tube of Burt's Bees lip balm goes in this really neat purse my wonderful aunt gave me, and the other tube of Burt's Bees lip balm goes into Alex's backpack. Now if you have any tips on organizing books... :)
