This Girl Loves Health & Beauty Products

Health and beauty products are a weakness of mine. I love to try different products. And, there's something exciting about getting a new lipstick or gloss. While in college, I was a salesclerk in HBA at a Walmart store. I loooooooooooooved it! I loved helping people with product. I have my go-to brands.

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.
