Hi everyone! Just wanted to share with you my new storage/organization scheme. Originally ALL of my makeup was stuffed into a 3-drawer organizer that was large enough to hold a regular sheet of paper.
This is a 6-drawer cart from Office Depot and it costs $24.99. It also comes with four wheels, but I haven't put those on yet. The dimensions of the cart are:
◊ Height: 26.44 inches
◊ Width: 12.06 inches
◊ Depth: 14.25 inches
So the drawers are a bit larger than my old organizer and there's twice as many drawers! The organizer is pretty sturdy but the drawers do not slide all the way out. About two inches stays inside the cart, so there is potential for products to go into the back and then be forgotten about...
The top of the cart is actually really sturdy, the top of my original organizer was very flimsy and buckled under my fragrances and hair products. This organizer actually has sections on the top that was probably meant to hold office supplies like paper clips and pens, but I use it to hold my witch hazel, rubbing alcohol, brush cleaners and there's even a spot that I use to put my cameras!
The first drawer is lip products, the front part is frequently used lip products and the basket in the back holds the less used products. (Since I've taken these pictures I've actually switched this drawer with the eyeshadow drawer since I apply my eye makeup first.)
The second drawer is my blushes and bronzers. I actually now have a place for my Hello Kitty blush palette, and all my Rock and Republic blushes are hiding underneath. There's a basket in the back for other blushes like my Wet n Wild ones.
The third drawer holds single eyeshadows and small palettes
The fourth drawer holds my large palettes, like my StarsMakeupHaven palettes, UD's Naked and Alice in Wonderland BoS
The fifth drawer holds just my face primers, blot powder and BB cream, as well as fragrance samples
The last drawer doesn't really have anything in them. I just put some of my nail polishes that were lying around in there.
Staples actually sells a 10-drawer version for $60, which maybe be really good for those of you who have larger collections!
Hope you found this helpful!
