Hi Karen,

I’m ordering from a place called ammoboxes.com — they’re not pretty, but not ugly either — in sheer red, blue, and beige. And the boxes close and will let me store my lippies upright while still maintaining my separation-by-color scheme, so I’m happy,

LOL, Nicole! I hope my husband brings in the box when it arrives so I can see the look on his face when I tell him I ordered something from “ammoboxes.com” for my makeup!

Hi Ayana,

Yeah, me too. Good luck looking for more storage!

I use an old wire silver ware holder (it stands up, does not lay down flat like the plastic drawer holders do) to keep my makeup brushes in. It works wonderfully and saves a ton of space. My makeup is separated by brand into these cute wicker lined baskets that I bought at Target last year. My overflow makeup (certain colors I use more around the holidays, etc) goes in Sterilite drawered tubs for storage. I love the ideas you've posted here so I think I'll have to incorporate them into mine.Sarah´s last blog post..This is what carnies eat for breakfast

Hi Lauren,

Oh, I remember that one! Super pretty! If I were you I’d want to keep it around to just stare at it, LOL!

For Christmas I bought myself a Sephora Makeup Case… It was expensive ($100, yikes!!) but it holds all of my makeup and brushes (I don’t have an enormous collection really… so I even have a little bit of extra space in it right now) and it’s beautiful (I got the cream crocodile covered one) so it looks good just sitting out.

Its one of my favorite possessions, ever. I love opening it and knowing that I’ll be able to find whatever I want without digging!
