Beauty Storage Hacks and Ideas

I was getting tired of digging through a tiny little drawer to get to my nail clippers, file, tweezers, etc… so I repurposed a cheap magnetic knife holder into grooming tool storage. It’s so much neater and easier to access now.

From this… 👎

To this! 👍

 

And that got me thinking… what beauty storage hacks or ideas do you use at home/work/school? I’d love to exchange ideas and see what you do to keep your beauty products or tools organized. 🤔

Wow such a unique and innovative way to organize the displays look beautiful 😍 @caitbird 

Re: Beauty Storage Hacks and Ideas

@peculiarzmakeup  thank you so much! 💜

Re: Beauty Storage Hacks and Ideas

@caitbird mine are in a cosmetic bag.  I have been using them up so I have only about 20 left

Re: Beauty Storage Hacks and Ideas

@CorgiMommy  that's great! I would love to get to the point of using up some of mine, but I have so many that for now I am mostly focusing on just trying them all. And of course I keep getting more, so I never seem to catch up 😅

Re: Beauty Storage Hacks and Ideas

@caitbird you nailed the fragrance organizing.   Love the alphabetical order of your samples.  Nothing like that at my house. 

Re: Beauty Storage Hacks and Ideas

@CorgiMommy  thank you! I'm very happy with my new setup. How do you store yours?

Re: Beauty Storage Hacks and Ideas

@caitbird love it!!!!

Revision number 3!

 

I added some cup hooks to hang a mirror on the door. Our washroom is pretty small. If both of us are getting ready at the same time in the morning, I would pull out the makeup I wanted to wear and finish upstairs where we have another mirror. Now, I can continue even if my wife needs the sink or the main mirror. 

And I wanted to take advantage of the empty space upper right corner. A flat organizer, some strategically drilled holes, and now it’s hanging up in the corner. 

And the new main organizer has a large space in the middle. I plan to use it as a place to lay out what I want to wear so I can find it easier. I can also use it as a dumping ground if I’m in a rush and don’t have time to put all my makeup back where it belongs. 

Re: Beauty Storage Hacks and Ideas

Such an amazing setup I love how everything is organized and the mirror is everything , love seeing the creativity and efforts! Adore it! @JoSometimes  🫶

Re: Beauty Storage Hacks and Ideas

@peculiarzmakeup Thank you! It’s a tight space but it works! I have a few things in a pencil case, which is my makeup over flow. 

Re: Beauty Storage Hacks and Ideas

I do too! I have like a makeup pouch with samples, and one for overflow! Love the idea! Amazing work 😊 @JoSometimes 

Re: Beauty Storage Hacks and Ideas

@JoSometimes  love your setup and how you've made such great use of your available space, and I am super impressed by how handy you seem to be! Inspiring for sure!

Re: Beauty Storage Hacks and Ideas

@caitbird I enjoy putting my various skill sets to use in other aspects of my life! It’s fun to see it all crossover. I ended up doing my wife’s side to fit her needs too. It definitely makes getting ready easier in the morning. 

Re: Beauty Storage Hacks and Ideas

@JoSometimes wow all I have is all my makeup stuffed under my bathroom sink. Your setup looks great

Re: Beauty Storage Hacks and Ideas

Awww thanks @CorgiMommy! My bathroom is tiny, so I have to get creative. I built the cabinet myself to fit nicely on that wall and clear the door that’s off screen. Ones in the store were too deep and stuck out too much. 

Re: Beauty Storage Hacks and Ideas

This isn’t pretty but it’s a proof of concept that’s inspired by @heartsmyface (metal brush ferrules)

 

I drilled a tiny hole in this cuticle trimmer so I could thread a tiny screw. That gave it a magnetic spot on the handle so I could hang it on the magnetic block. If I were to do this in the future, I’d use a smaller screw that I can sink flush with the handle so it doesn’t stick out like this.

Re: Beauty Storage Hacks and Ideas

I'm only coming here to say what a genius idea this is @JoSometimes ! SO GOOD.

Re: Beauty Storage Hacks and Ideas

Thank you @AnimalBrain! I’m still making some minor tweaks to make it more functional for me. 

How about you? What’s your beauty storage like?

Re: Beauty Storage Hacks and Ideas

Honestly? Nothing special hahaha. I have been actively trying to really minimize my collection and use acrylic storage drawers (clear) for my every day make up, and then MUJI storage boxes for the overflow haha. Not very organized in the grand scheme of things, but it does the job for now @JoSometimes . I love seeing how everyone else organizes their stuff though, LOVE organization content.

Re: Beauty Storage Hacks and Ideas

@AnimalBrain Muji! I completely forgot about them! I was trying to find larger acrylic or at least clear containers and almost resorted to getting something on Amazon. Thanks for the reminder!

  • I keep saying I'll paint the outside someday but still haven't.
  • The dark grey mesh things tucked into the case's tag on the right side are brush guards, in case I fully wash a brush (these guards let me dry brushes upside-down on countertops).
  • All Sephora branded products here were generously gifted by Sephora. Pretty sure this photo's missing a Fenty Gloss Bomb or 2.
  • Pretty sure Lancome's discontinuing the L'Absolu Lacquers, which is a terrible decision because they're THE BEST glosses ever.
  • Aw, so many discontinued products in the bottom row.
  • There's also a black version. Last time I checked, it cost a bit more than this teal green one.
  • Eyeliner pencils. I... might have a problem.
