My Current Makeup Storage! (AKA THIS Is Why I Put Myself On A "LOW-BUY") * PIC HEAVY *

I recently organized all my makeup into an Elfa Platinum Medium 10-Runner Frame storage unit from
The Container Store.
http://www.containerstore.com/shop/elfa/components/elfaDrawersAccessories

I used (6) 1-Runner Mesh baskets and (2) 2-Runner Mesh baskets and added a Driftwood Melamine Top.
I also added drawer organizers to customize my drawers.

My Vanity Mirror is from Vanity Girl Hollywood. (Broadway Mirror in Silver)
http://www.vanitygirlhollywood.com/lighted-vanity-mirrors/broadway-table-top-lighted-vanity-mirror.html

The clear acrylic storage containers are from MUJI. http://www.muji.us/store/storage/acrylic-cases.html
I have (3) 5-Drawer units and (2) 2-Drawer Large Units

One day I will get a proper "vanity-style" desk/counter! But until then, my dresser drawers that store some of my clothes works just fine and conserves space in my "smaller than I'd like" master bedroom. I added a cheap bar chair from Walmart. Didn't want to splurge too much on things I know will be replaced when I finally get around to getting a setup that I LOVE! The Elfa, Mirror, and MUJI Drawers will stay!

I promised all my girlies in the "Low-Buy Thread" (http://www.specktra.net/t/185789/resolution-low-buy-2014-who-wants-to-play) that I would post my organization when I had it all done...
So, here's the "pretty" ugly truth! HeeHee

Great collection. I have the Elfa organizer, but in the X-Narrow. I think I'll get the wide one in their next Elfa sale.

When I told the rep what I wanted it for, he advised me against the wide. I think because the wider it is, the more unstable it might be if you had too much weight in the drawers. So I was nervous to go with anything bigger than the medium. And when I pull out some of the drawers, you can tell there's some weight in those babies. This one has lots of room but stills feels very stable and secure.
I'd love to see your Elfa! (I showed you my Elfa, now you have to show me yours! HeeHee)

Mine is a complete mess right now. Lately, I've been just throwing stuff in there, so I have to reorganize it all. I'm still planning to do my own "here's my stash" post someday, but I need to weed out some more things and incorporate my recent onslaught of purchased makeup and skin care.

I love your stash! The Elfa looks like the perfect organization system. And you can never go wrong with Muji, I need more of those, too.
Thank you for sharing!

That is some stash, @pixiedancer! I can see what you mean about it being too much to know what exactly you have. The organization is great! I would love to have mine so organized. I did put mine in these 4 drawer containers but they're not as easy to see as yours. How did you organize your lippies? I have mine by color, but I wondered if there was a better way.

Love the way you have everything organized. No matter how big or small our own stash is, having everything neat and organized ensures that we know exactly what we have and can make us of it. Good job!
