Erin : Thanks! You might want to be careful that the board doesn’t rust in the bathroom

I’m a huge IKEA geek and I never would have thought of this but am now going to try this in my bathroom and everywhere else I can think of.

Great idea!!!

Ah, so this was the “thing” from Ikea you blogged about previously to keep your dresser neat! Nice idea, but I can’t hack it cos I have no wall space next to my makeshift vanity shelf. *sigh*

Tine: I used to store my brushes in a jar in the open so I figured this wasn’t much different However I do understand the concern with dust and Ikea is wonderful for organization!

Jojoba: I tried putting them in a box but I could never find what I wanted and it was taking up space so I kept them in a jar. I figured this was just a more organized jar

Monstro: Yes, it can be hung vertically or horizontally. That’s why I bought it because I wasn’t sure how big my wall was! Its not that large a brush collection. Some brushes are never used! So long as you have the basics, you don’t need more And yes, I thought about the necklaces and bracelets but I don’t wear those much. Maybe when my new order comes in!

Kahani: Thanks! I can imagine you’d have a huge collection. I’m not showing all of mine, but I will be showing how I store my various products and items as I go along. I like how you store yours according to how often you use it (and which drawer is suitable for it!)

Ooh I love storage ideas. Great one, Paris!

Uhh my makeup collection is too huge to be believed right now with the beauty blogging job and all. But I got a 3-drawer storage unit and put all my mineral makeup which I use daily into the smoothest running drawer. Another one are cosmetics and skincare products I’m currently testing to review. And another is straight up storage of things I seldom use (the drawer sticks). I also have a drawer-organiser tray I adore that I found in amsterdam – the sections can be taken apart, rearranged and clipped back together. And they’re the perfect depth for lippies, compacts and smaller skincare items. I have a larger basket for big skincare items, and a smaller plastic box for daily use and smaller tubes. Brushes are in a cup, as are mascara and eyecurlers. Uhh.. there’s actually EVEN MORE but I’m scaring myself so I’ll stop.
