HOW I ORGANIZE MY MASSIVE MAKEUP MESS
/
I get asked a LOT about
storing my makeup collection
... seeing as I am a beauty blogger and pro hair stylist, people are always intrigued with how I manage my ever growing product situation. And let me tell you- it's not all butterflies and rainbows when your house is taken over by makeup! My poor husband handles it like a champ though.
My recommendation for storing makeup is to go with
acrylic organizers
. They are the most beautiful to look at, and they generally have the proper sized compartments that keep makeup in its' place more effectively than just stuffing everything into a drawer.
I also firmly believe that
you actually USE what you can see & access easiest
. So I prefer to keep my 'regular-rotation' items on the countertop, and keep my special occasion items put away in the drawers.
Yesterday I posted this pic on instagram showing you how insane my bathroom can get when I am not using my organizers. :/ whoops...
But, you can also see what my collection looks like when I've tidied up and have things in their proper place in the pic below. Much better! Plus I can find things easier and actually use my counter space!
My organizers are from the Container Store, and I really love them...
Here are a few great highly rated options for you.
The more expensive organizers are all considerably larger, and use a thicker, stronger acrylic. And every now and then you can find nice discount options at places like TJMaxx too
The Container Store Stackable Modular $12-22 (shown in my bathroom pics)
Caboodles Tray $15-19 (countertop tray in above pic)
Joy Mangano Makeup Bag Roll (genius!!) I reccomend the Large or XL size so you have plenty of room, but the travel option is great for on the go and small collections
Do you have any tips for keeping your collection at bay? Let me know, and thanks for stopping by today! xo
