I filmed this video over the weekend and I realized I never posted it on my blog and since not everyone subscribes to my YouTube channel, I thought I’d post the link here.
These are the trays I use to organize my makeup drawer. They are from The Container Store and they’re fairly inexpensive.
I feel fortunate to have a big drawer like this in our new home because in our last home, I had so little space (two really skinny drawers). However, these come in all sizes so no matter what size your drawers are, these can work. They also sell deeper ones that are ideal for cabinets and great to hold makeup brushes.
And here is my video where you can see exactly how my makeup is organized and each storage container separately.

Love these containers! They sort of remind me of the clear cube that supposedly the Kardashians use to store their massive amounts of makeup! I did a post a while back on my storage, but it isn't ideal by any means. I just use a large container with some drawers that stands on top of my vanity, and then I have a few things in my vanity as well. I like this much better though, and once my fiance and I move into a condo, I will something more like this 😉
@beautygirl—I love keeping everything "hidden away" 🙂
I store my makeup like you, in my drawers with storage compartments, but they're from Target. On top and in the middle of my vanity (between the sinks)I have 2 tall thin vases (from Target too) were I put my nail polishes in, and also a mirrored tray (Target too) were I put my skin care products on.
So neat and tidy!… I just have two baskets. One for my lipsticks and other for everything else. But this is way nicer:)
I hide everything as well! I love it to be organised and clean, without dust .
Great vid V, xo
I do something similar! I have little trays to organize everything but I got cloth patterned ones from tjmax. They are black and white with flowers and are really cute! except i'm just realizing that if something were to ever spill or break, yours will probably be better to clean up! any suggestions on a cute way to store my massive amount of nail polishes?! (I have so many because I figure the price for one is cheaper than getting a manicure!) I saw a comment above that uses vases which is a great idea but kinda hard to get to the ones on the bottom im guessing… let me know if you think of anything, thanks!! I love your blog its amazing!! I look forward to reading it every day!

I organize my make up with something similar! I find though that each week it gets a bit messy so I just have to go through and straighten it up! Thanks for sharing!
Oh wow Veronika!! This is great; so very organized! I have similar containers from Target to organize my blushes and bronzers. I think I'll copy this system for my most used products!
Yours is so neat. I wish sometimes I didn't have as much makeup as I do….However, I do have mine nice and tidy using clear acrylic organizers from Muji….if you google "Muji makeup organizers" you will find dozens of pictures, bloggers, and youtube videos of people raving about them. They are absolutely great and inexpensive…..Mine is a 5 drawer, 3 drawer, and 2 drawer combo (Yes, I have that much makeup)
I know this is prob the wrong place to post but…….I know you love most things "pink" and immediately thought of you…..Gap has their Spring clothes debut online and some stores sporting lots and lots of pink (I sense a spring trend)…..a fantastic pink color jacket, almost like a rain-coat type of look….and are having a promotion through today online only…It's called the Mac jacket and the color is called pomegranate juice. $98 but with 40% comes in around $60 or so…thought you might be interested
I know you put a lot of time, effort and thought into making your videos but my favorite part is the way you say "Hi everyone." Makes me smile every time. 🙂
V – is that Exfolikate in one of your drawers? Is it worth the hype?
@anon—yes, it's amazing!
Can you please tell me where you bought the canisters/jars on your bathroom counter? Thanks!
I wish someone would come to my house, take everything out of the bathroom vanity, make me get rid of half of it, and put all the rest back. I have way too much junk stuffed into a 1-sink vanity.
That's not even including the makeup – it's in a train case on the cedar chest at the foot of my bed (it used to live in the vanity).
Anon they are from crate & barrel
I'm very meticulous about organization of everything, and not even my makeup is safe. I don't use nearly as much makeup as you do daily, so I keep all of my daily makeup in a small, 3-drawer tupperware shelf that fits on my etagerie in my bathroom. First drawer is my bare minerals foundation and concealer, second drawer houses a few compacts of eyeshadows, undereye concealer, and eyeshadow primer, third drawer has a few odds and ends, like nail files, hair ties, and bobby pins. My brushes, mascara tube, and eyelash curler are right next to the container in a miniature paint can that I picked up at Target in their little $1 bins. The makeup that I don't use on a daily basis and save for special occasions (all that extra face crap, eyeliners, lipglosses/lipsticks, etc) is in one of those big expandable caboodles-esque makeup cases, and I clean it out every few months and toss what I haven't used.
That is a really nice organizer, I need to rearrange my collection!
I'd like to win because i love your blog & the stuff you use are so professional like…
