Look around any store. Any container can be used depending on your personality, budget and what you want. ;) There's some cute stuff at Target.

I actually like going to ikea for makeup storage because you can tailor a lot of their products to exactly what you need and everything is fairly inexpensive.

I bought these small Sterilite drawers from target they are just clear and have 3 drawers. I have an old bookshelf and right now I have 4 sets of those drawers that fit perfectly on one of the shelves. So eventually I will get more and start the next shelf but eventually I want this bookshelf/desk thing from IKEA and I will still use my Sterilite drawers. They also have fancy colors during back to school time. But you can cut some cute paper for the front of the drawers to make them look cute! They are usually about $5-$7 per set but you can buy them online in a 6 pack for 42.99

I was going to make a version of this: http://www.mywomenstuff.com/2008/06/28/storage-idea-makeup-brushes-mascara-and-pencils/
A cute idea for pencils and brushes... but I think she has access to international IKEA, and their stock varies from country to country. =(
There are really cute organizers made specifically for makeup demonstrated by blushingpixie: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mZk3YTUzNFo
There are also very cute rotating organizers at Micheal's or craft stores: http://www.amazon.com/Making-Memories-MAK29598-Desktop-Carousel/dp/B0014DZKC0
Hope that helped and gave you ideas!

That magnetic board is actually pretty small for being almost $40 (before tax and s/h). You can make one for less from items bought at Lowes.

Thx for the tip! I'll check that out for sure! =)

My (semi-)current storage/makeup collection...
http://pic.phyrefile.com/s/sh/shellygrrl/2011/04/08/makeupstorage-mug.jpg
The pencil/pen cans I keep my brushes in I bought at K-Mart. The drawer organizers are from The Container Store. The actual drawers were built by my mother before I was born (I think it was before?) and were repainted by she and I a few years ago (it was originally white with kiddie-style bug decals on it...the inside lining is original, however).
