Cosmetics Storage

In an earlier blog post I was delighted to show my handy make up storage stand.

Click here to have a look at the blog post. 

As a little follow up to that post I have found a few more hand little storage solutions. I like things neat and tidy but easily accessible too. For this reason I <3 my make up storage solution.

I found these 3 white decorative pots in IKEA recently. They are in fact plant pots that I found in the garden section of the store. The moment I saw them I knew I would find an alternative use for these little gems. They are made form a form of light weight metal and are white in colour. They are extremely light weight and came in 3 sizes. I have the two smaller sizes which have worked out perfect for my needs. 

I use one of the larger pots to hold my entire make up brushes collection. I have approximately 20 brushes of all different shapes and sizes. I also have my eye lash curlers popped in here too. As you can see this size pot holds a fair bit!

The second pot I use to hold lotions and potions, bits and bobs I use on a daily basis. Again the size is generous so at the moment I have a bottle of MAC eye makeup remover, a bottle of MAC fix plus spray, a medium sized Kerastase hair brush and a small banana clip.

The last pot which is the smallest in my collection I use it to hold cotton pads for makeup removal and a packet of tissues. So as you can see these 3 little pots hold lots yet take up little space.

I recently found the last storage item that can be seen in my photos and I have to admit I love it. It is a simple light weight wooden box with 2 doves and 1 heart wooden embellishment on the top and secrets carved into the front. It has a hinged top and lots of room inside. I found this box while just browsing in a little shop in my town and loved it on sight. At the moment I am just using to hold every day jewellery. I think it has an old fashioned charm.

Storage is often difficult to find so I hope you like my little ideas. What storage solutions do you have? I would love to hear about it so please a comment.

Storage, Glorious Storage!!

One of the biggest problems facing cosmetic and make up lover is storage. It is always difficult to find good storage that is attractive, compact and holds lots. I have been on the lookout for this for what seems like and age.

Finally I think I may have found a solution in the form of this Tabletop Spinning Cosmetic Organiser by Lori Greiner.

This organiser fulfils all my above mentioned criteria. It is spinning which means it is really easy to access all the sections. This useful device holds over 100 pieces of your everyday beauty essentials, arranging them in specially designed compartments, so you'll know exactly where everything is. 

I genuinely love this organiser. I could not believe how much it held and how little space it takes up. I am finding myself using some items of makeup I have not used in ages. The size of the compartments are also really good as certain items of makeup fit perfectly and do not fall out for example lipsticks, or round compacts.

  

I would highly recommend this to anyone who is looking for a storage solution.

I found this organiser on www.qvc.co.uk and it cost €25.00 excluding postage.
