Make Up Organization!

For those of us who have a decent size makeup collection we know the struggle of keeping it organized... I am constantly looking for new ways to organize my things but I am never happy with it because I have to run from one place to another to look for different items... ANNOYING!
I had a caboodle which was a good solution for a while but then my collection was too big to fit it in there. So I have been looking online for makeup organization items and found one item that I absolutely loved but absolutely hated the price! It was the acrylic makeup cube and the going price was $100. Do you know how many beauty products I could buy with that money?! So I kept it moving and continued looking and there was nothing that was doing it for me.

So on a random trip to Target I was looking at the storage units and picked up these beauties ...
I had one similiar and I loved it and they're stackable so I bought two and made a 6 drawer tower as you see above. I transfered all my products in there and they fit in the drawers nicely and it was just easier then my caboodle and less clutter in my bathroom. To pizzaz it a little I cut some construction paper and used different handwritings to label what was in each drawer to help me adjust to the new set up and just because I love color. 
I couldn't be happier and it's very convenient! The best part about it was that it was CHEAP! 



When I was at Ulta i was browsing and came across these acrylic vanity organizers and thought they would be perfect for my lipsticks, lip glosses, and foundations. BEST CHOICE EVER! I love the way it looks and it is so easy to grab things and do what I am doing. Also not very expensive and I had a coupon ... Score! I still have a drawer in my dresser dedicated to eye shadow palettes which is the only thing I haven't really found a special storage idea for but it's fine where it is... until I get my vanity. I am hoping they will all fit in the one drawer it has....

Maybe I helped solve some of your organizational dilemmas or maybe this was pointless... Regardless thank you for reading!
