Make-up Storage

[lauzc69]

Wasn't sure which bit to post this under!

I've now got quite a lot of make-up and really don't know how to store it all.

I have a wooden box from Ikea with 6 draws in it which sits on the window sill but this is just not big enough.

How do you guys store your make-up/cosmetics?

Pictures would be fantastic if you have any!! (I also love looking at peoples make-up collections - hehe!!)

I use a 3 drawer Sterilite organizer. They come in various sizes but this is the one I use: http://www.sterilite.com/Category.ht...uctCategory=45#

Number 1791. I think it cost me $9.99 at CVS. I put my eye stuff in the top one, my face stuff in the middle & lip stuff in the bottom drawer.

BTW, I keep foundations in the fridge. Keep a small amount handy, and preserve the rest. Extends life of product up to 2 years.

i use tackle boxes

i picked up two tackleboxes from Wallmart for $6 each and i keep the stuff i use less often in one and the stuf fi use more often in the other.

they have bigger ones too, which i should have gotten, thinking back on it now as my tackle boxes overflow! Walmart only had that small one and a ginormous one in stock tho and if i'd looked at the website (http://www.basspro.com/servlet/catal...0000000011105), i'd have ordered a meduim one (or two!).

To keep air out, I use good old Ziplock bags (push the air out before closing) and then put that makeup gently in a Rubbermaid bin. Keep makeup out of heat, light, and humidity and it will be usable longer.

like eowyn, I use a tackle box too - just a small one for now, though I'm in need of a bigger one with the more makeup I buy!

Really, tackle boxes aren't all that pretty but they do the job! I like the little compartments and everything, too.

I use Sterilite storage bins too. I use the tiny little ones (for "craft storage" or whatever) and I got them at Target. I have like 6 of them and stack them up under my vanity

Hope this helps!

Thank you all for you help! Think I will have to invest in some of those Sterilite storage bins.
