It's really up to your preferences and stash size, if you store everything in a cupboard or closet, or if you have some sort of desk. I'm not too unhappy with mine, my main problem is the palettes, the big ones from Urban Decay don't fit in my travel case so i store them outside. I've sorted out the way to store my brushes, in a pencil case. The most difficult item i always pack outside is actually my brush cleanser spray bottle. It takes so much space !
The two palettes i can't store inside (see how the black is so print friendly !), the pencil case for brushes (plus travel sized UDPP and pencil eyeliners), plastic case for my nail polishes, it seems obvious, and my travel case.
On the left, pencils, Mufe green primer, powder case and small mineral concealer sample. On the right, a small eyeshadow palette, false lashes, other mineral concealers in sample size, and my bronzer.
Under, the mess. Mineral foundation, Urban Decay eyeshadow Ammo and Naked palettes, Makeup Forever Rock For Ever palette.
More mess under, eyeshadows, eyeshadow palettes (Dior and a japanese brand), MAc blush and MSF and Mufe red gloss, Wonder Woman lipgloss i haven't used yet, liquid foundation, another primer, my other mineral foundation, and my Stratton powder compact. Under there's more lip and eyeshadow stuff.
This is a quick overview
