Hi all! Unfortunately my bedroom gets the least amount of light and I had to stick my vanity away from the window. For some reason my overhead lights are yellowing. Do you reccomend something for adding a clean white light to my vanity?
What do you use to organize your makeup?

I've been so inspired by this thread! Here's my little 'glamour nook':
-I don't have or use a lot of makeup so nothing but a small acrylic organizer to store my lipsticks.
- I ordered the led lamp from Amazon.
- I just received my Starlet Vanity Girl mirror....love it!
- I reupholstered the Pier 1 Hayworth bench with lace to give it a more old school Hollywood look.
- I use a pull-out rack (originally intended for a laundry room) to store my toiletries and hair brushes.
- The layout gives me space to keep my curling iron and hot comb on the ledge beside me.
- On the opposite side there is another 'nook' that I have customized into what my husband refers to as the 'waiting room'. ( Which is ridiculous because I can see him checking himself out in the mirror while he sits there!)
Thank you all for inviting me into your lovely spaces and giving me lots of ideas on getting my dream space set up!

Just bought this in white to accompany my West Elm vanity. Cheap and very good quality for IKEA - highly recommend! http://m.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/art/10251045/
I have 2 of the same acrylic organizer . I use one for face products and the other for eye products. Makes it so much easier to find what I'm looking for. I have 2 cups holding my brushes.
Guess it's the Virgo in me!
Luckily I have enough counter space so it doesn't look crowded.
It's not as big as it looks. 9.4" x 6" x 7.5"

Ooh, not sure why I never noticed this thread before. My vanity space is my favourite space in my apartment!
I have the IKEA MALM vanity and ALEX 9-drawers, in which I have organized my collection.
Inside the MALM drawer is my "everyday" makeup (what I reach for most often). I have things organized in cutlery trays.
On top, I keet go-to lippies and eye products in these small plastic drawer sets.
My ALEX 9-drawer features the bulk of my other makeup and my nail polish collection. Here's one of the drawers:
I made a (really poorly edited) video that shows the whole thing in case anyone is interested. It's here: http://www.alison-elle.com/2015/01/makeup-collection-storage-organization-vanity-ikea-malm-alex.html
