Makeup Reorganization

Soooo.. my makeup was a HUGE mess. I mean, I've organized it a few times but nothing to my liking, everything ended up scattered everywhere because there was no real system, especially since we pick up and leave at random times' notice (end up shooting BOTH days of a weekend versus planning on just one.. and finding out on Saturday morning when we're leaving).

Either way... this last weekend we stopped by a Container Store because checkout time was noon and the wedding didn't start until 7:30pm (yea, weird. it was only reception).




So.... this is my vanity. Aka a TV stand we bought for $5, ahaha. I usually sit on the bed and do my makeup (there's a pretty good sized mirror on the right side of the picture).





MESS.





Mess, mess, mess.




My usual travel bag... filled with lots of junk. This was more messy than usual b/c I didn't unpack it from the previous weekend.







THE NEW STUFF!!


Cup from Office Depot.. hahaha. Everything else is from Container Store.








Gotta love sales.





All of my lipstick holders.... crazy. The bottom came w/ the large organizer ($24.99 one)








Afterwards...... ah, so much better.




Yea I have like... 2-3 other things to organize o__O but this is a start! And yes, for those wondering.. this is the bulk of my makeup.

Ohhh mine is a mess too. I went to Muji this weekend to buy tubs and drawers and fings to put my fings in.

When I move, I think I will buy a mini filing cabinet for it all.

Oh gosh, I just throw all my stuff in a three level drawer. Good for you for keeping organized! You should take new pictures when you're all finished.
