I am in the process of doing a "fall cleaning" and overhaul of my massive collections of everything. I currently store separate items by product type in glass apothecary jars in various sizes. For example all glossimers and similar in one jar; liquid eyeliners in another; single shadows in another; lipsticks in another and so on... I have an antique marble topped vanity and the drawers contain mass amounts of quads and compacts etc, and the surfaces have an abundance of perfumes and bottled foundations, and skin products. I love the concept and presentation of my stuff, but I am out of room with a slew of new in box items to add, plus, my nail colors are ooc and I am looking for ideas as to shelving them. When we built our home, we designed the master suite to have a built in alcove with vanity lighting to have as my product zone. I have considered wall shelving in this area, as there is plenty of space to add shelves etc. I love to be able to see what I have, and am looking for ideas as to how to add space and visibility for my products. One area that I am stuck is the nail polishes. I have literally every Chanel polish made and many more, yet most are in their original boxes in drawers. I would like some type of wall display for up to 100 jars, but also something pretty. Would love to hear any suggestions or ideas or systems that other neat-freak product junkies use. I am determined to accomplish this tomorrow- from shopping to finished project. Any insight is much appreciated!

I just picked this up in Target and I love using it for makeup storage. It fits perfectly on my dresser top and makes a great vanity space.

here are photos that i took in July of 2009- it has been 2 years since i have updated my organization- it looks similar now, and this is what i am working with, but i have 8 seasons worth of new make-up and nail colors and hair products added since these pictures were taken... currently all nail colors are in drawers in the vanity, and also hidden in drawers in a hutch in my living room, and more hidden in another cabinet in another room...would like a wood shelf that coordinates with my furniture and put on wall to left of the vanity to store/ display nail colors... anyway- here are some pictures taken from last time i organized to give an idea of what i am working with already...

Right now I'm using Muji drawers, although I don't love them. The drawers are not very deep and there's a lot of stuff I can't fit in them. They were also pretty expensive. If I had drawers in my bathroom I would have just gotten some cheap containers to put my makeup in. I hate not having drawers in my bathroom!
