I struggle trying to figure out how I want it all organized. All of my stuff drives my husband batty. My dream house would have his and her vanities in different rooms - we would share the tub, shower, and bathtub. We currently have a double vanity in our master bath.
Over the last few days, I think I've found a solution to organize my bathroom drawer and under my sink. Sadly, my make-up is another story - it's in a rolling cart, not the drawer or under the sink.
The Daily Use Drawer
It seems to be a catchall. The drawer is deep. I like it because things like my contact cleanser and face toner work in it. I really like those Olay containers to hold things. Overall, I wasn't optimizing (that's one of the buzzwords of the moment at work) the vertical space. You might notice that I have a fondness for Estee Lauder and Mary Kay. I'm not sure why I kept an empty box for my inhaler. Check out the before and after photos below.

Now for the after photos. I used the small Sterilite containters from Walmart. One container has all of my ponytail holders and barrettes. Another one has my extra contacts in it. A third one has headband elastics and clips. The fourth one has some alcohol wipes. I used a small but tall container to corral all the odd shaped and small bottles.
The Olay containers went to the garage for my husband to use or throw out. I also pulled all of the travel size products out of my daily use drawer.

Under My Sink
I should be embarrassed by the amount of hair products that I have under my sink, but I'm not embarrassed. I think I'm going to add some Command Hooks to the inside of the cabinet. Check out the before and after pictures.
 |
| Before: Yes, all of this product belongs to me. Talk about clutter! |
 |
| Before: The before with the front few rows of stuff out. I realize my choice of storage containers are not very functional. |
 |
| After: The basket came from some at home party. The white bins are Rubbermaid from Walmart. The clear container is Sterilite from Walmart. |
 |
| After: At the back is my stash of extra shampoo. The basket has all my sprays and foams. I did try sorting it. I used the Sterilite container for cotton balls - for some reason I have three bags. |
 |
| After: Finished! I used the trays for the shorter items. I use a old bag from Philosophy to hold my velcro rollers. I think a Command Hook or two on the walls might be useful for something. |
