I've seen lots of different and creative storage ideas. Is there anything you use that is just perfect for what you need to store? I really wanna know! Pictures if you have 'em :)

you can go and check on pinspire.com or piterest.com .. there are a lot of ideas!

I love buying storage from Ikea so much. It's inexpensive, you can personalize a lot of their stuff and add to it if you need to. I just saw this storage idea and I love that it has wheels on it if you want to move it from place to place. http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/S59875886/ 

I store most of my makeup in the MALM 6 Drawer Chest. In the drawers I have different storage solutions. For lipsticks and lipgloss I use acrylic holders so I can easily find what lipstick I want to wear. Sorry for the LQ instagram picture but this is how I store my lip products. :)

i snagged this old jelly jar from mi madre & the clear container was actually bought at CVS with make up sponges in it. i keep my make up at my computer desk, where that container sits up on shelf, so i love that it's clear so i can see what i'm grabbing.

i keep my make up brushes sorted into cups that are normally 3/$.99 at walgreens they have for every holiday (i have halloween ones...colorful skeletons). you can see in the background of the photo one of those 5 drawer desk things. i decorated them (i have a 3 drawer one too) with old matchbook covers.

my storage is pretty random ^_^

I prefer having most of my products on display. So, there are items all over my desk, my windowsill and my shelves. Unfortunately, I can seemingly only upload one photo? :S

Here's a link to how i've organised all my makeup/beauty type products if you want more specifics:

I have a set of drawers like in the picture Jasmine posted. I have separate drawers for face, eye and lip products. On my desk I store all my pigments on their side in a tray so I have all the colours in front of me, I have all my mascaras in the purple tray that comes with the UD 15 year anniversary palette, and all my eye liners in a little box with a slide off lid that my brother made, just so they're all in one place and I don't have to hunt for them under all my eyeshadows. I keep my brushes in glass cups (I painted black stripes down them to match my room) I have a cup for face brushes, one for eye brushes and one for tools (curlers, tweezers etc)

Hope I helped! There's lots of storage ideas out there - a lot of people post videos on youtube :)

I bought this drawer unit from IKEA and I love it.. I use the top 4 drawers for makeup. They are very roomy and deep, so it's perfect for stacking containers. I'm in the process of reorganizing all of my makeup. When it is complete I'll be sure to post a picture. :)

btw, @SHANNYN I LOVE how you organize your makeup. I still remember that picture you posted of your brushes! 

@Shannyn I loove the way that looks! I really want to reorganize my makeup so much. I think that's amazing.

A really creative way to store makeup or nail polish and even perfumes is to use a shadow box, just spray paint it a fun color and voila, you can hang it up on the wall so it is on display and hey, it saves drawer space!

i have a clear organizer for my everyday makeup theres similar ones in target by the bath stuff, and all my other stuff is in those clear plastic pull out drawers from walmart but i deff. want to look into buying a vanity when i move because it gets soooo unorganized so fast!

I like candle holders and kitchen storage items. They're usually cute and work well.

Ikea has some really cool cabinet sort of things. It's like a rectangle that you mount on your wall then the front slides. It creates a modern look in your space while also providing storage. I store my brushes and extras of products in them.

Before I posted this I already was using IKEA furniture. It really is the best! This is my current setup.
