Makeup Makeover

Being a product junkie has its pros and its cons.  Besides having a ton of makeup that you may not get to test, your bathroom counter starts to look like the clearance rack in the back of a bargain basement.  Luckily, I have my own vanity and sink so I don't have to hear Mister complain too much about my mess.  My counter was so cluttered and crazy that it was hard for me to get ready. I needed a makeup makeover!

The mess on the left is my huge train case I've been using for about 3 or 4 years.  I have to dig every morning to find products.  I can barely close it up.  Sadly, that isn't even all of my makeup.

I gave my counter a deep cleaning.  I went through my train case and pulled out all the product that I use on the regular.  I know, it's still a lot of products but unlike Beyonce, I didn't wake up like this.

I went to The Container Store and purchased 2 drawer sets, two canisters, one four section box, and drawer organizer container.  I organized my makeup in the drawers by the area of face I use the product.  

• Concealer, foundation and powder
• Blushes and bronzers
• Eyeliners and mascaras
• Lipstick and lipgloss
• Eye shadows
• Lip liners
• Large eye shadow pallets, makeup remover, and other frequently used products in the tray on top of the drawers.  

Since the makeover, I've been able to get ready faster and my counter stays clean.  Next makeover will be under my cabinet.  How do you store your makeup?
