Well. today's your lucky day. I'll share my budget friendly way of organizing your stuff so whatever you put on your face will be kept clean and organized.
I used a three layer plastic container to put my stuff. I couldn't afford a make up traincase now so I make use of what I can at a cheap price. So I headed to Japan Home, one of my favorite stores, where you can buy lots of practical, functional and weird stuff. So here's what I bought and it only costs Php 88.00.
I don't really have a lot of make up stuff because I have a weird habit of finishing a product before buying a new one. I only buy what I need, so if I have stuff that are more than one it's usually a gift to me. So at least I still get to save and have a stash with me:) So this Japan Home 3-layer plastic organizer is just right for my needs.
This is the result!:) I labeled each layer with eyes, lips, and face. It's not only good to look at, it also makes applying make up more efficient because I instantly know where to get my stuff. For the bigger stuff like my make up brushes, loose powder, make up remover, etc. I have another treasure chest to put it in. When I say treasure chest, it literally means a treasure chest.
I got this treasure chest in Dapitan Arcade. It's near Mayon Ave in Manila. It only cost Php500. It's a little pricey but a lot cheaper when you buy it in the malls. So it is still a cheap find for me. Here's a before and after shot of my stuff inside the treasure chest.
So ladies, whatever organizer boxes, treasure chests, or make up train cases you have for organizing your make up, it's important to keep it always clean and hygienic. It also does not need to be expensive to organize your stuff all it needs is practicality and discipline to stick to your system.
I hope you could also share your organizing tips with me!!:)
TTFN!
ooh, I like that vintage baul there... =) I organize mine a bigger plastic cabinet. and I think I need a bigger one soon as its not already enough to contain all my stuffs.
ReplyDeleteThey have a lot of the baul in Dapitan, they come in different sizes as well:)
ReplyDeleteI love the jewelry organizer you got there :)me and my daughter always misplaced our earrings LOL
ReplyDeleteI actually used it for my make ups, but it can also be used for jewelries as well.:)
ReplyDeletegirls really love to collect make ups and i guess keeping them up is really an effort.
ReplyDeleteThat's true, Sef! Just like some boys with their shoes!:)
ReplyDeleteI also have my own makeup kit which I carry around for travels and another one which just stays at home. Without it, the items tend to go missing! :O :D
ReplyDeleteI agree Rochkirstin. I also have two sets of make up kits. We are OC like that!!:)
ReplyDeleteI have the same organizer but still no enough space for my makeup and other stuff. Ugh, I guess it's time to get a bigger cabinet? :/
