Make-up, beauty supplies, and styling stuff can quickly start taking over my space if I don’t make an effort to organize and clean things up once in a while. I try and stay on top of keeping things semi-together but when I am running on the 30 second beauty routine plan, clean-up isn’t usually included. And let’s be honest, I think that their is a free sample fairy that comes into my room and leaves tiny perfume and eyeshadow samples weekly! Sometimes I find myself wondering where all the stuff (junk?!) comes from so it helps to get organized every once in a while.
Tips to Organize Beauty Supplies
This drawer system is where I keep all my make-up! Top drawer for things I don’t use too often (cough, cough eyelash curler), the middle one is for all my eye make-up, and the bottom drawer is for my essentials like foundation, bronzer, and blush. Separate your stuff in a way that works for you!
I keep three mugs on my vanity. One for my brushes, one for small tools like tweezers and nail clippers, and then one for cotton balls and q-tips! These mugs are a perfect way to bring some color into your make-up station. How many cute and witty mugs do you see online that you can’t justify buying because you already have so many?! This is a perfect place for them. The ones in the picture were a gift from my out-of-town BFF but I found a little shop that makes ones almost the same!
Isn’t this gadget cool?! It helps clear space on my countertop and gives my straightener and curling iron a home. It also keeps the cords in the back and out of my way! I tried hanging them on hooks for a while, but this holder made it much easier. You can lay the hot tool on the pad, too! It comes in a few colors and sticks right onto a flat surface.
This is my favorite thing on my vanity! I try and keep this little tray as clean as I can so that I can see the pretty design on it. Keeping it clean is rare thanks to all those never-ending free samples. I keep my toner, lotion, and some of my random things that I am using on here. It also is usually covered in a leaning tower of ponytails. It’s also perfect to bring some more personality of meaning to the stuff you have around your room! A few etsy shops make personalized ones or it is a perfect thing to buy at garage sale or thrift store!
I never end up remembering all the lipstick colors that I have which usually leads me to buying a similar shade that I already own. This plastic organizer keeps me from forgetting what I already have and helps me pick out the color that I want to wear without having to dig through a drawer. It puts them all on display. It was super cheap and you can pick your size depending on your lipstick library. It also helped me keep track of my chapsticks, which I am pretty sure get stolen by that same fairy that leaves me free samples.
So there you have it, folks! My ideas to keep my beauty supplies in line. And as always, I would LOVE to see what ideas you have for keeping all of your stuff together. AND, you can see our 10 most favorite (and budget-friendly) beauty products!
