OOTDs & MakeUp Storage Re-Do


I've had this dull pain in my right lower abdomen all day :(  I was supposed to see my trainer tonight but I can see now that's not going to happen. I'd hate to waste a session being in pain so I'm going to wait and see if this goes away. Hopefully it's nothing.

On Sunday, I went a little cleaning and organizing crazy. I always have these moments where I think everything is too cluttered and messy and I find a new solution to make everything feel calm and organized again.  You may remember that several months ago I bought clear mini storage drawers to store my makeup on my bathroom counter. This worked well for me but I noticed that they took up a lot of room and also that water would gather underneath the plastic (from washing my face and hands) and then granite would get all dark.  I decided it was time to downsize and keep everything a little more hidden.

I made use of the drawers in my bathroom counter and decided to store  my products there so it would be out of sight and easily accessible. I used the boxes our Vera Wang cutlery came in as drawer dividers (I like to get creative!)



Now my counter is much more clutter-free with just my brushes, eyeliners and
mascaras on the ledge.


I also have bobby pins, skincare, fragrance and q-tips stored in the cubbies of a cabinet we've affixed to the wall (did not come with the house)


I must say I really enjoy this new setup.  Everything is easy to access and when I'm done using products I can slip them right back into the drawers and they are hidden away
I hope to have larger/longer counter tops in our next home.

How do you organize your makeup? Do you ever get tired of the way you organize things and change them?
