I know this has nothing to do with planners, but this blog is about organization too\u2026right? For probably ever, my mom and I have lived out of our linen closet as our makeup closet. We went through the keeping-our-makeup-in-bags phase, the keeping-our-makeup-in-bins phase, the keeping-our-makeup-in-anything-it-will-fit-in phase. We needed a serious upgrade.<\/p>\n

The everyday essentials<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

After looking on Bed, Bath, & Beyond for what felt like months, we finally found a makeup table that was small enough to fit the room. We went and they said they didn\u2019t have it\u2026like ever. It was just a ploy to get people shopping. So not fair. So we hit the drawing board again\u2026this time with Pinterest.<\/p>\n

Because the room we\u2019re using is pretty tiny, we couldn\u2019t get anything too big. So we looked up \u201csmall makeup room\u201d and found just the trick. Shelving! How crazy.<\/p>\n

The next day, my mom and I went up to Lowe\u2019s and picked two shelves, a couple brackets, a mirror, and some bins. And voila! We had a super awesome makeup wall<\/em> that held everything we needed!<\/p>\n

Here’s my set up:<\/p>\n

\"Baskets
Baskets holding lots of makeup<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

With just 2 shelves, my mom and I were able to fit everything we owned in terms of makeup. On the top shelf, we put things we use everyday, like makeup pallets, foundation, moisturizers, brushes, perfume, and deodorants.<\/p>\n

On the second level, we picked up 6 little baskets from the dollar store and they each have their own purpose:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Everyday make up – bronzer, blushes, illuminators, and eyebrow filler<\/li>\n
  • Eyes – (mostly) mascara, eyeliner, eye shadows<\/li>\n
  • Lips – chapstick and a plethora of lipsticks and samples (Birch Box and Ipsy for the win!)<\/li>\n
  • Face – liquid illuminators, liquid bronzers, anti-aging (majority are samples from Birch Box and Ipsy that I don’t use but seem useful)<\/li>\n
  • Hair – heat protectant, dry shampoo, split-end erasers<\/li>\n
  • Etc – any leftovers or items that don’t have a particular spot<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
    \"The
    The nail polish<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

    Now I can’t forget all my nail polish. I’m\u00a0obsessed<\/em> with nail polish. Sunday night in my nail night and it’s almost ritualistic at this point. My friend comes over, we do our nails, and then we watch Quantico<\/em>. Amazing show…you should watch it.<\/p>\n

    You’re also probably thinking: WOW that’s a lot of polish. Well…that’s not all of it. I have a shelf in my closet that holds all my Julep polishes. Oops!<\/p>\n

    If you’re trying to decorate a small room, think outside the box. You\u00a0never know what you can come up with. It may be better than you’re expecting, as well.<\/p>\n

    Happy Organizing!<\/p>\n
