Talking Finally, Finished Organizing the Stash!

I've been trying to get my stash organized for a month or so and I've finally worked out a system that works well for me.

The stash. All jumbled together.


Overview of the bathroom counter after the organization. I always sit in the sink to do my makeup.


I put almost everything in this tubberware drawer thingy which fit perfectly under the medicine chest. My palettes are between it and the wall.


The first drawer holds all of my non-CHANEL eyeshadows and my essential mascara.


The second drawer holds my face stuff/everyday essentials...primers, concealers, foundations, non-CHANEL blushes, highlighters, and lip palettes.


And the bottom drawer holds my lip stuff. The basket holds my non-CHANEL lipsticks and some of my CHANEL lipsticks (reds, bright pinks...stuff I don't wear everyday) and my glosses take up the rest of the drawer.


I organized my lip and eye pencils in drinking glasses so that they're easier to find and it's been so much more convenient.


I made a "Sephora-inspired" brush holder for my brushes. Unfortunately, they don't all fit but I'll figure something out later.


I keep all of my CHANEL eyeshadow, blushes, everyday lip colors, etc. in my CHANEL makeup case and store it under the sink.


That way, when I'm getting ready for work, I just pull out my bag and have everything in one place.


And, finally, I stored all my glitter, false lashes, and special effects makeup in my traincase under the sink because I don't use it that often.

Now, all I have to do is take detailed pics of the stash, upload them to my notebook, and label everything. Maybe I'll work on that next weekend...

Ahaha! That comment made me laugh out loud. I've never had someone wanting to get into my "drawers" just for my makeup.

Actually, once I laid it all out on the floor, it only took an hour or so. Plus, there was a "Keeping up with the Kardashians" marathon on so I was pretty happy.

Yay, for Target's Dollar Spot and their sweet headbands!

There are some tutorials on youtube about how to make them but, in my opinion, they're pretty easy to figure out. I bought a square vase from Walmart and some little acrylic stones from the craft section (they're used in flower arrangements)...the whole thing costs less than five bucks but it looks really cool.

Did you ask their sizes before you asked them out?

I love those, too. I have a bunch of religious kitsch in my apartment.

Ditto. So jealous, and so impressed. I, too, had to organize my stash, but it wasn't all makeup Got a new set of shelves, and had to put makeup and my art stuff in it too. Still, your stash and organizing system is amazing!
