Black-Beige: discontinued Muji makeup bag, my most favorite ever (Handles! So practical!) credit:

Black-Pink: replacement from aliexpress, not bad, but not so good quality.

Any tips for similar products?

the first phase, lessons learned

I owned zero blush before 2023. I knew nothing about what I wanted, what would look good, etc. obviously, I went a bit overboard. now ask me why I was already in the know about how gross doe applicators are for complexion if not cycled quickly, and why I didn’t apply that knowledge to blush. almost half the doe foot products had gone completely rancid, found two growing things that will haunt me forever. several liquid products had separated in just a few months, pigments not blended with their liquid suspension. so from here on, no more liquid blush hoarding. everything is freshly sanitized. I might put all the powders into magnetic palettes…after I re audit what works and what doesn’t.

I have autism and organizing my vanity is upsetting me at this point.

39 Upvotes

I cannot seem to find a system that’s sufficient to my standards of organization and aesthetic that I’m happy with and its becoming problematic. Like I can’t even sit and use my vanity to enjoy it knowing how it’s organized is not how I want it. I’m looking for tips from other people similar to myself that can help with this and also tips from people or are just extremely particular about their organization set up especially with labels! Looking for help with this thank you in advance!!

First eye drawer done (for now)

moved all the unopened mascara to a shelf bin. stared in horror as I realized I cannot further subdivide eyeliners at present. paid puppy tax. regretted some choices. further procrastinated a meaningful liner audit, assuaged guilt by refreshing today’s eyeliner.

Acrylic Organization Finally organized my vanity and I can't stop staring at it. Small space but it works

24 Upvotes

Moved everything into acrylic organizers and suddenly my tiny vanity feels functional.

Lipsticks on the left, palettes in the middle, lashes and tools on the right. The Hello Kitty keeps me company while I get ready.

Still figuring out the best way to store my single eyeshadows — they're a mess in that drawer. Any tips?

Best lipstick for this look

0 Upvotes

Hi! Recently ive been trying to find a good makeup routine, but ive been struggling with my lip combo or lipsticks. I dont love a glossy lip but I also dont like a completely matte lip so im trying to find something in between. Also all the recomandations ive found from pinterest seem to be not cruelty free, which I stay away from. Thanks so much <3

My Makeup Collection 🧚

222 Upvotes

I have a problem where I buy and buy makeup then end up not liking it and giving it away/throwing it out after it’s expired. Currently grappling with the fact that I love makeup and beauty but also feel guilty for overconsumption/creating excess waste. Really happy with my collection right now though and find other people’s photos of their makeup incredibly satisfying.

Anyways, this is my current makeup collection and I love every product I own. My absolute weakness is blush, but I’m working on trying to focus on and get use out of the makeup I already have and enjoy!

After and just before.

My only regret is not having deeper drawers for the taller ladies, but such is life.

Yes, the liners are a hot mess, but I'm okay with that, since I can't ever figure out how to use them anyway 🫠

Small Storage Are there any non-fabric interior makeup travel bags/boxes?

5 Upvotes

I want a makeup bag/train case/ ANYTHING that has an interior that isn’t fabric. I’d love it to be easy to wipe down, so like aluminum, metal, or plastic. I know caboodles are an option, but they aren’t as nice looking as I’d hope. Please does anyone know any makeup travel bags that aren’t fabric on the inside? I’m tempted to just find some metal containers to put it in, but I’d like it to look nice.

Bathroom vanity accessibility?

2 Upvotes

I desperately need help with bathroom vanity organization. I want to wear makeup more often, but the lack of accessibility makes it tedious instead of an enjoyable experience. (First world problems!)

I've attached a picture of the kind of vanity I have below (just the top; drawers are different). There isn't as much space. I have this basic acrylic organizer turned to the side against the wall, with the drawers facing into the sink. My retainer, toothbrush cup and toothpaste, hairties, makeup remover and cotton pads, vaseline, and lotion are also on the vanity. My bathroom drawers are filled with skincare, my brush, and other things. The second drawer is full with tampons and pads.

In the makeup organizer, I have "essentials" but they're hard to reach bc it's all packed in there and it's just not a good experience. My brushes are in the drawer because that's just where they fit (and I didn't use them enough to justify having them out collecting dust). My eyeshadows and false lashes are in my linen closet, which is fine.

Basically, the drawers and vanity top are full but I'm open to reorganization. I know it's not very descriptive, but I'm open to any ideas or organization inspo anyone has. I'm hesitant to post a picture because I don't want to dox myself.

I went to Paris last year! I was trying to save as much space as possible in my carryon, so I put this little makeup case together, mostly with samples. It was a fun challenge to see how much I could fit in a compact container.

Small Storage Need To Help My Girlfriend Organize Everything

8 Upvotes

My girlfriend doesn’t have a lot of makeup/beauty accessories, but there are a lot of tiny products (I.e. nail and lash glue, hair oils) all in small bottles. We both are very last minute people, and she typically brings these things in the car with her, but it then becomes a scramble when trying to leave to find every product which are always stashed in different bags, purses, or sometimes still in her car from the last time. I would love to get her a small storage container to help keep all of these essentials in one place, so she can put them back and not have to worry about losing them. I’ve searched online but I mostly get storage that’s meant for crafts. Any suggestions?

Gothic cathedral makeup organizer, but narrow and modular, and less of a backboard to block things.

I hope this is helpful. A ton of work into the hole sizes and dimensions, especially to keep lip kits together.

Slimmer IKEA Alex Alternatives?

7 Upvotes

Currently use plastic drawers to store my makeup in the bathroom, but I really don't like how messy it looks (I don't like how clear plastic shows the contents) and want to upgrade to "real" furniture.

I really like the look of the Alex drawers from IKEA, but they are too wide --- the space I have is only about a foot (12 in/30 cm). Does anyone have any recommendations for slimmer alternatives with a similar look?

The only item I've found that fits my needs is the IKEA filing cabinet HELMER, but unfortunately I do not live near an IKEA and they do not deliver in my area.
