My makeup is finally organized

This was a huge task. I had so many products, samples, bottles lined up on the counter in the bathroom. My drawers were overflowing. My shower caddy full. It was time for a major overhaul.

I went through and purged about a garbage bag and a half of old, abandoned products. Things I tried but didn't love, samples from my many Birchboxes that sat unused, and even *gasp* products that were expired. Lord, how long had I been carrying those around?

After going through everything and getting mildly organized, I had one solution for my makeup storage problem.


A Tabletop Spinning Cosmetic Organizer by Lori Greiner. And, yes, it's from QVC.

For $30 my sanity is restored. Everything has its place. I can see all my makeup at once [granted, I don't have TOO much, but I do have a substantial collection]. All my palettes and larger bottles are stored in a drawer and I use another countertop storage thing for things I use everyday -- like my contact lens solution.

Lots of brushes. They're either Estee Lauder or ELF. I have a lot of ELF stuff.

Some mineral makeup that I use infrequently.

While I'm not the most organized person or the tidiest, at least my bathroom has some kind of order!

I think I would need about 4 or 5 of those to house all of my darn makeup. Do they carry a super sized deluxe version??? LOL! It looks awesome! I love a good product purge :)

I really really need to do a product purge. I am worse than a hoarder. I can't even get rid of the boxes that the Birchbox goodies come in!

Ashlee Miller said...

Oh my goodness I need this in my life!!!!

Leslie said...

I think I need one of these.

Erin Heydt said...

I had to do this when I moved back to PA. My makeup was all over my counters and clogging up space everywhere. I have never looked back from getting an organizer like this.

Shelley said...

That's a good way to organize all that stuff! Mine is in a box that closes and locks shut. Works for me but I like yours too!
