Bathroom Organisation

My friend Kimberley (aka Miss Giggly from Pop Couture) and I were recently discussing the issue of makeup and bathroom storage. For the longest time my bathroom was a disaster zone. Makeup and beauty products shoved into drawers and cupboards in disorganised array. (you should know that I absolutely hate clutter, so this was a big deal for me. stressful.) I decided that I’d had enough, and needed to do something about it. My solution? Howard’s Storage World.

It’s a good idea to ‘think outside the box’ when it comes to bathroom storage, because a lot of the options available are just not what you’re looking for. I found my makeup storage containers in the home office section (I preferred the grey/taupe colours) and my bathroom cupboard storage containers are from the laundry section.

I keep my weekly products in a container on the bathroom cabinet (in picture #1) – everything that I’ll be using for the week goes in there. My bathroom cupboard is organised into hair care, body products, skin care & a spare container holds all of my samples/nail products. (picture #2). My makeup is organised into different catagories in two different drawers. The top drawer includes face (primer/foundation/concealer), cheeks (blush, bronzer, highlighter), lips (gloss, balm, lipstick) as in picture #3. The second drawer includes eyes (eyeshadow, liner, mascara) split into two different containers, and a seperate container for all of my brushes. (in picture #4) Speaking of which, I really need to streamline my brush collection. It’s all over the place at the moment!

eta: I should probably point out that as we have 3 bathrooms in our house, this is technically considered ‘my’ bathroom. I haven’t kicked the rest of my family out just to over run the place with my own junk!

How do you organise your bathroom? Do you have storage issues or some interesting solutions?

  1. aw, so organised and wonderfull!

  2. Love it! I keep most of my cosmetics in pretty square glass vases. At least the ones in nice packaging. And now that I’m looking at it, I guess I could use a little spring cleaning!

  3. The World Health Organisation defines an obese person as an Since the advent of the Internet, people prefer to buy bathroom mirrors online. Eyecare Product

  4. Love it! I think you’re reinspired me (to go even FURTHER!) as the cabinet under my bathroom sink is HORRIBLE! But the bit that I have done is for my little ‘nook’ in my bedroom! I will take photos, and report back but I think now I’m going to also sort out my bathroom! You are made of awesome ;)

  5. As you know I have the smallest bathroom in the history of bathrooms. The positive thing is that I have one cabinet and one set of shelves and the rest is all clean. I’m getting more and more organized when it comes to my makeup, I like it to look clean becuase you have it on your face and you feel alot better if it’s organized and not just dirty brushes in a bag full of eyeshadows and foundation.

    Btw, are i.d products worth the cost? I want that Lancome blush brush you’ve got (it is Lancome isn’t it?). I finally found one that is big enough, who knew it could be that hard? they didn’t have the big Lancome brush when I went on my hunt. Mine’s from Clinique.

  6. That looks so appealing – my cupboard is a bit of a disaster, actually. I would love to have every laid out so nicely so that I could actually find things when I need them!

  7. Wow look at you, so organised! I have a LOT of my cosmetics on the counter top. My bad. I know, but I feel like if I put them in the cupboard I will forget about them, and I want to use the ALL!
