Thanks J for your email. This entry is inspired by you! Since graduating from high school, I have always been on the move. From dorm to dorm, apartment to apartment, state to state, city to city....you get the idea. This never caused a problem until my addiction of make-up came about. It is extremely difficult packing up and moving beauty products. I've lost/broken way too many things along the way. The set-up for my make-up now is nothin' pretty but it's functional. Dig it...(click pictures to enlarge)
I know, I know... make-up in the bathroom. Not the best place but whatev. Everything is stashed in a boring ole' plastic thingie. I tried to be a bit creative in the brush department though...
Poor Baby Buki. I have to create a nice little home for her.
Open up the compartments and here's whatcho got
Lippies, part deux.
The small but growing blush department. Stay tuned for the Brown & Blushin' series!
Pencils, primers and pigments...
And I can't show you the mascara section because I don't ruin any surprises for Mascara Mondays. Hehehe....check out the nail care department.
You see that that throw back caboodle? I had it since those Seventeen magazine readin' days. A great deal of my pigments are in my traincase. Tinted moisturizer and minerals are in the medicine cabinet and I still have make-up hidden at my Mom's house 4 hours away. So everything is still a work in progress.
How do you gals keep your items in order? Traincases? Drawers? Cosmetic cases? Tell me! Got any ideas with what I should be doin' with my stash?
Stay pretty this weekend!

omg! my girlie products are stashed all over the place. i was just thinking to myself the other day that i needed to get more organized with my makeup. phew! nice blog, btw.
I love your stash. Just the other day, I called MAC PRO to order a palette since i've been seeing everyone with their MAC Palette and it is pretty neat! Well, apparently the MA told me that I can't depot my eyeshadows because they're glued and they might break! GASP..we don't want that
my make-up is in my traincase. It also helps me to monitor what i have..
I love the way you organized your brushes..very pretty
I love your idea for the nail polishes and tool, now that is very creative!
What a stash!!! My stuff is all over the place.
I have to start taking pictures of my stash - that's on my blog to do list. I store my goodies on two caboodles, plus different types of desk top organizers and plastic shelf systems that are all organized on a three tier wire system.
And Nywele - I have depotted tons of eye shadows, there are instructions on Specktra. You just have to be really careful.
I keep my makeup in bags. Right now they are on a shelf in my linen closet...my dining room table...a chair in my bedroom...I seriously need to get my makeup in order.
I like your plastic thingie and was thinking about getting one like it.
i love your collection and i see nothing wrong with your storage now! I like the simplicity of it all! its kinda like mine!
You have a lot of makeup. At least you are organized. I would love to see your traincase. I want to buy a nice big one because I am collecting makeup now and I don't want to out grow a small traincase so I figure buy a large one. In your case you might have to buy several large traincases. Lookup yazmo.com they have them.
I like your setup, very organized. I need something like that. My makeup is in a 2 gallon plastic crafts bin. Then I have a small plastic case for my absoulte favorites, and a makeup bag for my brushes.
To nywele, you can depot your own shadows and even mend them if you mess them up. I posted about this on my blog recently. The youtube tutorials I used are on there.
WOw, i think i'm going to have to show my mom this....
i like it....
Great collection!! I need to get some better storage for mine.
I love how organized you are! I'm soo not good with my stuff at all and I think I have the same pull out drawers you do! LOL!
Hope all is good with you and hope you've finally settled in with your move!! :)
i still have my pink barbie kaboodle case that at 21 i still cant part wit..i guess part of me dont wanna grow up lmao!
ooooh, which blush is that (the pink one)? It looks like Sweetness! I love the pebbles you have in your brush holder. I should do something similar. Thanks for the great ideas on organizing!

I like the way you have organized things. I see we both have get Rich dazzleglass by MAC.
happy organizing
Product JUnkie Diva
I recognize some New York Color glosses. Love those!
NYC is the best, Anon! Don't you love 'em?
I am always trying to find a way to organize my stash. I have not come up with a foolproof plan yet. Your organizational skills look superb.
Nice stash!
I have a pink and white striped traincase that houses my "go to" products on the bathroom counter and then a rather large wicker drawer unit for the rest of the beauty supplies in my bedroom! Not to mention the hair and skincare products in the bathroom... oh dear.
I love what you did with the glass stones in your brush cup! Really really clever... might have to snatch up that idea next time I am setting up my makeup area (we're moving, lol).
Great blog, by the way :)
