My 7 essentials to organize makeup in the bathroom or dressing table and have everything in sight

PUBLISHER PURCHASE

Organized by brand, color or type of product: with the help of these articles (for sale on Amazon), I always find the makeup I'm looking for and use it all much more

Keep ordering all of our makeup products is usually a complicated task. First, for not having enough room; and second, because, as is logical, we tend to use our basics on a daily basis and lose sight of those that we use on special occasions and remain at the bottom of the drawer or toiletry bag. This is precisely what I wanted to avoid when I decided to put my bathroom drawers in order: I have a lot of lipsticks, a lot of eyeshadow palettes and a lot of perfumes that I need to keep organized and in sight to make the most of them and to remember that they are there.

So I found on Amazon the perfect and essential packs of jars, boxes and trays to organize everything and be able to find it at a single glance. I made the right choice: now everything is in view, I use it a lot more and I have managed to save space in cupboards and drawers to store other important things like towels or toilet paper. If you also want to bring order to your cosmetics and makeup products, take note and join the initiative. You will not only get organized, but also be more realistic and sustainable when buying and storing products.

1. Box with vertical compartments

Perfect for lipsticks (which you can separate by color or by brand), as well as for brushes or tall bottles. It has six compartments -five small and one larger elongated- and is available in seven different finishes. I chose methacrylate because it always makes it easier to see products that can be hidden better. It is made of durable and easy-to-clean material and measures 32.5 x 16.5 x 10.6 centimeters.

Optimization of space

In addition to facilitating access to products, the dimensions and finishes of this organizer allow you to make the most of free space and leave no gaps between them. Buy for €13.59 on Amazon

2. Set of stackable trays

For other products such as nail polish, compacts, beauty blenders or accessories such as eyelash curlers or pencil sharpeners for eye and lip pencils. These trays, in sets of different sizes (I bought it with seven pieces, but the pack of ten is also available), allow you to order while you see the product they contain and have a non-slip corrugated base to prevent movement inside the drawer.

Versatility and practicality

One of the best features of this item is that the trays are stackable due to their shape and this makes them ideal for storage. In addition, I have used them both in the bathroom and in the office and in the kitchen. Buy for €15.99 on Amazon

3. Set of compartments for pallets

One of the products that was most difficult for me to use were the palettes of shadows of different colors that were left at the bottom of the drawer. That is why this organizer that simulates a mini-size filing cabinet is ideal for keeping them in sight and taking advantage of them all. They each measure 10 x 14 x 8 centimeters and are resistant and easy to clean.

Intelligent design

Because they are bevelled, they allow you to store larger pallets in the rear compartments and smaller ones in the front.Buy for €14.05 on Amazon

4. Duo of cotton pads

Although I use reusable make-up remover pads every day, it is always good to have cotton pads and swabs on hand to give the final touches or correct the look. That's why this double bottle that bulks up very little seemed ideal to have it on the sink cabinet. It measures 13.6 x 8.6 x 13.5 centimeters and looks super aesthetic on any surface: it is not for nothing that it accumulates more than 5,000 reviews on the platform.

Large Capacity

Holds up to 50 discs and 100 sticks – a huge capacity for the little space it takes up. Buy for €8.22 on Amazon

5. Decorative glass box

Although all the products we have talked about are perfect for keeping order in drawers and cabinets, I was also interested in finding something to keep the lipsticks that most I use on top of my bedroom dresser. I found this glass box with a gold metallic finish that is perfect for storing makeup, jewelry or as a decorative object.

Multifunctional and aesthetic

The plus of this object is that it is very pretty: you can place it anywhere and, in addition to decorating, it will be useful for storing anything.

6. Three-level portable trolley

In addition to the above, I signed this ideal trolley to store all the perfumes and other objects that you want to keep in sight: such as candles or vases that decorate the room. It is a trolley with wheels that rotates 360 degrees and made of high-quality plastic and stainless steel. The trays are removable and easy to clean, and the cart itself is very easy to assemble. It measures 40 x 13 x 61 centimeters and is available in black or white.

Anywhere

A piece like this would go well in any room in the house (besides this one for the bathroom, I bought one for the kitchen that doubles as a mini pantry). In addition, it fits in any hole –even behind the door- and moves with great ease. Buy it for €19.54 on Amazon

7. Rotating display

If you want to keep the maximum number of products in view, this display is your ally. I wanted to have what I use daily close at hand and I placed it on the dresser so I could see all of them at a glance. It measures 10 inches in diameter by 15 inches high and rotates 360 degrees to provide the best access to everything it stores. It is made of transparent acrylic and is super resistant.

Compartments of different sizes

The best thing is that, in its different compartments, there is room for everything: from brushes and pencils to compacts and bottles of cosmetics or perfumes.Buy for €18.69 on Amazon
