5 Affordable Beauty/Makeup Storage Ideas !

I am pretty happy with my current makeup/beauty storage. I store everything related to beauty/makeup/nails/hair in my vanity. It is easily accessible and visible to me which is key to me. So in today's post, I thought I will share with you 5 Affordable Beauty/Makeup Storage Ideas that work for me.

How I Organize my Dresser/Vanity !

I have to admit that I am very excited about this post. 
It is probably because am very happy about the way my dresser is currently organized and how everything I need daily is so visible and easily accessible. 

It may also look a bit cluttered to you, but to me it is what I like to believe as organized clutter :)

I truly believe in the power of organizing (I know, I sound dramatic), not that I am a domestic goddess or any such thing, but then it is the simple joys of life like this, that makes one happy, isn't it ? 

Without any further let's get on to it, "How I Organize my dresser or What's in my dresser ?"

Drawer 1

In this drawer I keep all stuff I need for manicures, all nail stuff - nail polishes, nail polish removers, nail cutter, buffer, nail correcter pen, q tip, etc., it helps that everything is at one place. 

This drawer also houses some of my hair stuff, some clips, brushes, hair ties and section clips mainly.

The white baskets in the picture are from Kmart.  They come in a pack of 4 from what I remember and are super affordable.

Drawer 2
Drawer 2 is mainly for my watches, perfumes and some jewellery. I have my watches lying on my GHD straightener box. There are some bold and bright lipsticks on the left corner that I don't wear on a daily basis, the lipsticks that I wear daily are on the top of my dresser or my makeup cube. The three boxes contain some of my rings and bracelets. This drawer also has perfumes and some hair bands. Finally I have some dainty necklaces in one of these white baskets (the same from Kmart). This drawer is definitely a bit all over the place, but I prefer to have all of this in the top drawer.

Drawer 3
Drawer 3 is hair tools, my GHD Straightener and Hair Dryer. Simple and the most sorted drawer :)

Drawer 4
Most of my jewellery is set up in my Jewellery Armoire. Check out my previous post on my jewellery storage. Some pieces here and there live in my dresser. This drawer has some necklaces and bracelets. I keep some of my hard to store statement necklaces in here.

I also have some silver jewellery in the right corner that I keep in bags so it doesn't get tarnished.

Drawer 5
In this drawer, I keep my palettes, samples and some makeup/skincare stuff (my stock as I like to call it) that I am not using currently. I do buy some extra stuff sometimes but I don't open it all at the same time.
 

Drawer 6
Last but not the least this drawer contains some makeup bags, my watch boxes and my GHD case. Also some velcro rollers which nearly got stuck in my hair and I have no plans of using in the near future.

My Makeup Organization *PIC HEAVY*

Today's Post is 'How I Organize my makeup'. Let me start by saying that I do not have a huge makeup collection like a lot of bloggers/youtubers, but still, to a person who is not into makeup, this may seem a lot of makeup :). When I started blogging I was getting in the mode of hoarding makeup, however gradually I am trying to control it..Anways, enough of rambling, let's move on to the good stuff...

I use the below pictured makeup cube (with 5 drawers) for most of my stuff. This is a stationery cabinet available from OfficeWorks. Lots of fellow Australian bloggers and YouTubers use this.

This is how my dresser top looks. I have the cube on one side and the remaining stuff (lipsticks, brushes, hair products, jewelry displays and combs) that I use on a day to day basis on the remaining side.

In the first drawer, I keep my most used eyeshadow singles, trios and quads.

In the second drawer, I keep gel liners, eye primers, face primer, concealers and the eyshadow quads that I do not use often. 

In the third drawer, I keep blushes. I have tried to organize them on color (starting with first column, neutrals, pinks, peaches, and dusty/rosy pinks)

In the fourth drawer, I keep face powders, highlights and bronzer. 

 

In the fifth drawer, I keep glosses and the revlon balm stains and the one and only foundation I have :) 

The top of my cube stores my eyeliners, mascaras and a bb cream. I am really fond of colored eyeliners. 

 I store my lipsticks in this storage thingy that I got from Target, these are very easily available. I store the bold and bright lippys not suitable for office in one of the dresser shelves, as I do not use them often. 

I keep my makeup brushes in these pencil cups, I got for a dollar from Kmart. 

Most of my stuff is actually stored in the cube and on the top of the dresser. Additionally, I keep some large palettes and my backup makeup in the dresser shelf. 

There you have it, my makeup organization, storage and collection. How do you store yours ? 

PS - This is not a bragging/ show off post, we bloggers enjoy makeup so also enjoy the storage ideas of the same.
