I have two of the Alex-5 drawers. I got these because it came in a pretty mint green, and the Alex-9 only came in white. One set is for makeup, and the other is for skincare. I have one on each side of my vanity.

Inside the drawers, I have been using the Container Store Like-it Bricks system, which is modular and allows me to customize how divided my trays are.

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

Okay, this thread has officially inspired me to redo my makeup storage.

Right now I am just using my machinist chest & some other storage for palettes & nail products on my bathroom counter. But, I have a beautiful antique waterfall vanity with mirror (quite similar to yours, Apelila) in our guest bedroom that is not being used. I think I am going to redo that area into my makeup storage, so I can enjoy sitting there each morning getting ready. I need to figure out a few logistical things, particularly lighting (may need to move some furniture around), but I will be sure to post photos when I am done!
