I use a 3 drawer Sterilite container set, one drawer for foundations/powders, another for blushes/bronzers and the last for eye shadows/primers/bases. I have a smaller Sterilite 3 drawer container for mascaras, eyeliners, and random things. I put all my lipsticks in these little bins I found at the Dollar Store, and then all lip glosses/lip balms in a bigger bin from Walmart. I think im going to invest in a acrylic case. You can find some cheaper ones on Amazon that I have my eyes on!

i use three of the three drawer sterilite containers from walmart and the overflow goes in a train case!

so in total i have 9 draws: two for eyeshadows, two for blush, two for lip products, one for other eye products (liners, mascaras etc), one for foundations/concealers/illuminators and then the last is a misc. tools drawer.

in the train case ihave my mac pigments and most of my nars collection, and then also some unopened items or back ups.

as for my lipsticks i store most of them on top of one of my units in those clear lipstick holders you can purchase at the container store, ialso have some larger palettes stacked here too.

i'd love to be able to use the clear cube system, but at $300 a pop i'd end up spending about 1k just on storage, which is a little crazy, so for now this works

I use Muji 5 drawer acrylic organisers (yes, I somehow brought two back from America to Australia in my bulging suitcase).

I now find myself not buying certain products because I know they will not fit in the shallow drawers (i.e. Chanel Illusion d'Ombres look that little bit too tall?)!!!

As for my larger products - powders, glass jar things, nail polishes etc. - they are just littered around the Mujis! I am yet to find a practical and aesthetically-pleasing storage solution...

I keep all of my makeup in the Metro Train Case from Sephora.

I also have a MAC Pro Palette, but I can't fit it in the case.

I keep all of my brushes in the MAC Brush Roll.

i would also rec. a train case- nice and everything is all together. I think powders last a long while (2 years) as long as you clean your brushes. Mascara, liquid eyeliner should be replaced every 3-4 months, eye/lip pencil and lipstick 2 years as long as your sharpening the tip and not sharing. i think liquid foundations last about a year as well.

I have an old train case from Victoria's Secret, about eight years old and has interior stains but I love it! Perfect size for my small cosmetic collection! Has a bottom to fit my blushes, face powder, several MAC quads and foundation. Also has two fold outs, both have two shevles to accommodate a dozen lippies, and about fifteen pots of eyeshadow plus my tweezers and brow powder. I keep all my brushes in a separate plastic box to prevent the "dust" from staining my train case further.
