What do you use to organize your makeup?

[kawaiiamaiai]

I have my makeup broken up into stuff I use frequently, stuff I use at least once a month, and stuff I rarely use. The stuff I rarely use is on top of my vanity separated by type in rubbermaid drawers. My extra palettes and a flower pot of brushes I don't particularly like live with them as well. The once a month makeup is stored by type (lip, blush, eyes) in clear tupperware type containers. My "everyday" makeup is also stored in a tupperware container. All of that is housed in a large rubbermaid rolling drawer set beside my bed. I really should take picture of it all. I've tried lately to get everything organized so I know what I really have.

I have this chest from Ikea.

I love it! But I am a little ticked because when I got it they only sold it in the birch color. But now they have the black/brown color that would match my bathroom MUCH better. But I'm too lazy to paint mine and too cheap to buy it again.

I have a big train case and several makeup bags. I am also a basket lover and keep the stuff I use day to day in a basket on top of the vanity.

Now that I'm all moved in with my boyfriend at his parent's place, I've repurchased a bunch of my bigger office drawers (previously I had a mix of 5 and 4 drawers, making a total of 4 drawer sets) and given away my 5 drawers so that I just have 4 of the 4 drawer sets. This allows me to have a bigger drawer at the bottom of each set. I've gone through with my Brother labeller and now everything is super organized and easy to find. Not to mention neat and tidy!

Purchased on EBay, but I need to purchase a second one for all my stuff:

I have the same thing. I love it. It helps me keep track of what I have so that I don't end up with duplicates.

I posted wayyyyyyyyyyyy back in this thread, but wanted to re-post.

For my brushes, I use an ELF brush roll. This is a pretty old pic, most of these brushes have been upgraded to MAC.

For my makeup, I have a wooden machinist's chest that my husband surprised me with for Christmas 2010. I *love* it. It holds a ton and the organization is amazing. These are old pics from 2010, and most of this makeup is now gone... maybe I'll take some new ones!

Okay, I was bored last night and took new pics of my machinist's chest.

Brush roll - most of my brushes are MAC, but I also have a few Sigma, ELF Studio, Ulta Pro, and Hakuhodo.

Bottom large drawer - foundations, primers, concealers:

2nd large drawer - blushes, highlighters, powders:

Smaller drawers with lip products:

Smaller drawers with various eye products:

My makeup is just in a set of cheap white stationery drawers. 3 drawers which I use to separate types of products e.g. "eyeshadow and blush" together. Doesn't look great though because its white and filthy with makeup!! Need something nicer, I really like the look of clear drawers like above.

Caboodles Clear Acrylic Tray is wonderful. Other than that, I actually usually just keep everything in a travel bag, which you can find loads of on Amazon. As to expiration dates, I don't know. Sorry!

I love my "ebay" acrylicconcepts clear cube but now I'm thinking about getting: http://www.originalbeautybox.com/ORIGINAL_BEAUTY_BOX/HOME.html since I'm trying to down size. Any one have one?
