I finally updated my makeup collection + storage for 2013 /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> here are some pictures~~ I had previously started using a big tackled box which slowly grew to this /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Most of the containers were from the dollar store, Wal-Mart, One's better Living as well as some reused/recycled beauty boxes/container. Enjoy /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

   This is my current collection. I have it broken up by the order in which I do my makeup. Im using the Ikea Alex 9 drawer organizer. LOVE this thing!  http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/50192822/ here's the link if you are interested. I first saw this through Amarixe's makeup collection and I knew this would be perfect for me! There is also another type, http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/50167158/#/40196241 if you want one that is wider. Makeupbytiffanyd opted for this in her set up and it looks really good, but too big for me! you can check out both of their videos on youtube. the rest of the review is on my blog

This is how I store my main foundations and BB Creams. In the drawer, it's some of my blushes, lipsticks, and lip pencils. Still in the process of moving most of my makeup in drawers rather then having it displayed out in the open. Will update with my current organization when I finish /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I use Muji for all my acrylic cases and I LOVE it. They looks so beautiful and I love that I can see through them. They keep things organized for the most part.

same here. I do wish the drawers were a little bit bigger in length. I really wanted to place my blushes upwards rather than laying it flat. Other than that, I love it!

Wow, this thread was so inspirational! I just reorganized everything. I repurposed a shelf that used to be in my son's nursery (he is almost 9!) and was in my daughter's closet holding 2 pairs of cleats.

I should have taken before pics. Suffice it to say that while it was somewhat well-organized for my purposes, it was all over the vanity surface.

 

[viccckyhoang]

wow.. you guys definitely an an awesome collection.. i can't wait to post mine soon! :]

 

[ElvenEyes]

Why is it that staring at photos or watching videos of other people's makeup makes me so happy?  I am forever keeping a list beside me of things I want to swatch, try out, possibly get, so they are bad enablers too!  But I can't stop! What an addiction!  I love it all!  Some lovely collections here with so much variety!  Here is my collection from  last year.  A few things have changed up and moved around, but for the most part it is the same.  I would love a vanity, but not sure what kind and what will fit in the spot, so haven't made any decisions towards that yet. Someday!  Keep the videos/photos coming.  Excellent eye candy!  I hope this worked!

Here's an idea from Koren. These are for bead storage. Unfortunately these not available at Joanns website. These are available at Amazon for under $6.50 each. Koren said a few things. It doesn't fit M•A•C lip glosses, it does fit jumbo pencils and it fits into an Ikea Helmer drawer.

Whoa some of you girls have amazing collections! I love all the lippies on the first page of this thread. Here is my vanity table and my little makeup storage wheel. I also have a few tins I didn't take pictures of in a drawer. One of them has eye stuff in it (lines, pencils, mascara) the other has all my face products (concealer, powder), then I have a bag of makeup wipes, and some lip stains in an old cleaned out jam jar. 

I really love having my makeup vanity in my bedroom, somewhere nice and comfortable to get ready in the morning. In the flowered tin on the vanity are cotton pads, cotton balls, a pencil sharpener, and sponges. 



(Excuse the pic of me in the mirror, I'm leaning back and have no makeup on yet.) The white wheel spins and has all kinds of compartments. The gold cat is a ring holder. I put my rings on the tail while I put my makeup on. The little purple and white box is just Q-tips. 



This is the drawer of my vanity. It has one drawer in the middle.

Here's my makeup collection =]  It's looks quite small after looking at some of yours!

Wow! Reading through these posts has really motivated me to get my makeup all organized. When I moved it got stuck here and there and has never really had a good place yet. I am going to start working on setting up some good storage so that all my makeup is more accessible for me to use. I love my makeup!

Thank you so much for sharing your ideas and your collections here. I see nobody has posted since February and I hope this thread continues.

On a side note, it is so nice to be able to see/connect with ladies that have the same makeup obsession and collections that I do. I used to follow a lot of the gurus on YouTube and I loved it when they would do makeup storage videos, but they get so many nasty comments (Hoarder, greedy, wasting money) that some of them don't do them at all anymore. It is so nice to see people post pictures of amazing collections and nobody is saying terrible things about it!

I live in a dorm, so I don't really have great storage. My room for next year is a little bigger and has dresser drawers in addition to my closet, though, so I think I'll probably use one of the drawers for makeup storage and use the top of it as a vanity and lipstick storage space. So far, those little sets of plastic drawers form the container store have been my saviors.
