Makeup Idea: How I Store My Makeup Palettes


Hi all! Today's post will feature How I Store My Makeup Palettes. I've seen this idea before on YouTube and other blogs, but never tried it myself. It's proven to not only be a cute way to store makeup, but also very functional as I find myself reaching for palettes often.

I previously stored them all in my Alex 9-Drawer from Ikea. It worked, but I felt like I was neglecting many  because I couldn't see them all. I was at Marshall's with my good friend Jen (Hi Jen!) the other night and I came across this letter sorter. My first thought - wow this would be great for my eyeshadows!

This letter sorter only cost me $12.99 so it wasn't breaking the bank. The letter sorter has a nice cardboard-esq feel to it.... definitely not junkie. The dividers fit my palettes of different sizes and shapes perfectly. I also really like the design inside too! It's from the brand "Hold Everything" which is apparently a discontinued line from William Sonoma.

Here's what it looks like:

BEFORE


AFTER


Since this is no longer made (unless you can find this at your local Marshall's) I did some investigating and found ones similar! There aren't as many dividiers, but I'm digging the bright colors.

Where to find: The Container Store

How much: $9.99




I'm really happy I found this! I'm always looking for new makeup storage ideas and tips. So, how do you store your makeup? 

Thanks for reading,
Carly

  5. I think this is one of the best ways to store palettes! I use a wire one that was lying around. I would like to get some cute ones, though!
