what is your storage method for storing your makeup, nail polish, skin care products, etc.? I need to change the way I store mine. Post pictures if you want!

I keep my makeup in a dresser drawer, sorted with drawer organizers from The Container Store, and my brushes on top of it in pencil cans purchased at K-Mart.

Right now, since my collection is pretty small, I have some acrylic cosmetic/desk organizers on my dresser with all my stuff in it. I also have two makeup bags in my closet full of stuff that's old, I don't like, or is the wrong color but can't seem to want to throw away but I honestly never use anything in those.

I have the 10 Drawer Rolling Cart. It's similar to the one that Blair Fowler (juicystar07 on youtube) has but different colour. It has so much space to put everything and is super easy to really organize everything.

I have been using the same thing since high school, my purple glitter caboodles case!

I bought a bunch of pencil trays from michaels for really cheap. I just set them in my drawers and keep each product type separated. I maybe spent around $5 or less to organize my makeup.

I made a video of mine a year ago if you want to check it out. I've changed a couple things, mainly in my drawer unit in the past year, but essentially it's the same. I absolutely love watching organization videos.

Mine is essentially stored in the same drawers as Monica but I only have 3 and all my makeup fits :) (minus palettes and some other makeup that I have in a little basket from the $1 section at Target!)

If you have a larger makeup collection, I would definitely recommend something like what Monica M. posted! The drawers seem like a really easy and efficient way to keep all your beauty things organized :)

I've been stalking boards on makeupalley trying to see if I can find some DIY inspirations, since IKEA discontinued their larger MALM vanity [boo!] and there are no others that really appeal to me.
I am especially happy w/ my ISIS rolling storage though, it's done a good job of accommodating the stuff that's too much to stand on my vanity.

i use the cheap 3pk of baskets from the dollar store. plus a 5 drawer desk top thing like monica posted. i keep my brushes in these cute black & white buckets i stole from a wedding! (nah, i knew the couple well & she told me i could have as many as i could grab after i already smuggled one out, lol) but they were from big lots for like $1.50. in the past, i've picked up cute tumbler cups from walgreens that they put out for every holiday.

I keep mine in a traincase on my vanity. It's just an easy way for me to store, organize, and pick it up and go w/ it!

I love organizing makeup for some reason i think it so fun. I organize it in an acrylic caboodle and if you have an overwhelming amount i love the plastic drawers. Hope this helped!

I keep my makeup in 8 drawer storing case thing (as pictured) - I organize every drawer by category (Face, Blush/Bronzer, Eyes, Lips, Nails, & Skin care) The other two not pictured are for Misc cosmetic tools & Hair products.
I keep my brushes organized by Face/Eyes in these cute $1 bins I found at Target. I love them!!
I keep my pallets/perfumes/fragrances in that white thing you see pictured. (I have no idea what to call it) & keep my make up sponges applicators in that pink box separate from everything to keep them clean. It's simple, cheap but I love it. :D
Pictures are low quality & oddly placed but you get the point. lol

@Andrea, Thanks I think I'm going to get one of those tall drawer sets now!

It's extremely convenient!! It's great for make up collectors just because it has sooo much space. & there's never any awkward searching for one product just bc you know exactly where everything is. :D Go for it!

Yeah my friend keeps telling me to get a train case but not all of my makeup would fit in it and it would just be easier with drawers! thanks!
