Storing Loose Pigment Samples?

Nov 25, 2010

Hey everyone! I have a TON of little 5g screw top plastic jars filled with all loose eye shadow pigment samples. Currently they're all jumbled in to a pencil box with no order, and it's very hard to find what I'm looking for b/c I have so many.

How do YOU store your pigment samples in the most organized/efficient way? Would love to hear some ideas from you beauties! <3

Hi, I used to have the same problem - tons of little unmarked jars floating around my makeup bags and cases - so I bought this carousel thing (http://tiny.cc/n5d74) that has room for about 100 jars and little slots at the top to hold eyeshadow and eyeliner brushes. I just labeled my jars with a label maker and arrange them on the carousel by color family. It's pretty handy but I'm not sure if you're looking for something that you can take with you when you leave the house =/

Hello Victoria! I use this plastic storage I found at Michael's Craft Store in the bead section. The picture I have here shows them individually, but they really come in a package of 24 inside a clear plastic rectangle container (I will have a picture in my profile photo album so you can see the whole storage unit). They had smaller ones too! It originally cost about $5? (its been awhile, but it should still be inexpensive), I used a coupon from the flyer they send out with the sunday paper for 40% off. So, at the end, I paid less than $4 including tax! This storage works for me because I can bring it all with me or just the ones I need! Also it really is compact, keeps everythnig together and I can see everything! I have my labels at the bottom of each jar. Hope this helps! Good luck and let us know, K!
