I think you should keep a cute little stool/seat under there. For a couple reasons. First, if you kept a chair at it, it would have to always be open, which would look sloppy because it is a hideaway and having an open cupboard just looks sloppy. Second, if you don’t keep a chair at it, then you’re having to drag over the chair every time you use it. Third, you’d have to have some separate spot to keep the chair at, which is just taking up floor space unnecessarily. I think the way this is built, it’s meant to keep a seat under there. So you should get a nice one with a fancy cushion. Perhaps even one on wheels to slide in and out easily without scraping on the floor. Though you can also get pads for the bottom of the legs. On second thought, wheels might actually be more likely to scrape the floor, depending on the quality and without a floor mat. Pads are probably the better option. This one looks like it’d go nicely with the rest of the room. Though it would sort of be a shame to have it hidden away most of the time. Bit of a conundrum. Getting a cheaper one doesn’t feel like it does justice to the greatness of this little nook, but getting a fancy one also feels wasteful by having it mostly hidden.
I wish I had a house to decorate.
I bought some swatch sticks on Amazon and it has honestly been one of the best purchases I have made. It allows for me to see my entire collection so that I know what colors I have and don’t have (which is very important for me as pretty much every time I go to the drug store I’ll pick up a new polish and when I get home I realize I already have a color that is basically the same). Using swatch sticks has also really helped me figure out what colors and top coats look good together.
I purchased this set of swatch sticks, but I didn’t like how it came with a screw holder, so I bought a three-inch binder ring at an office supply store.
Yeah I got them here: Makeup Brush Holders Large Makeup Brush Organizers Cosmetics Brushes Storage Box with Lid Brushes Display Case Sliding Dustproof Cover with Free White Pearl (Pink) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08F6DGMWM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_CC2E73GY92JN85XDE2Q3?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
I prefer having things out in the open rather than in a drawer or hidden in cabinets.
edit: in case anyone is interested in this shelf : link
So this is a nail polish swatch book that I made. I wanted to be able to see all of my colors without digging through the bottles, also sometimes the colors look quite different in real life than they appear in the bottle. I quite like this system. It also helps when it’s time to declutter to be able to go through and pick out the ones that no longer interest me. I quite like being able to hide my bottles away where they aren’t taking up so much space but I can still easily find any color that I want (I just have to remember generally where I store each brand within my tote, then within that section I find the specific color). It’s also quite convenient when shopping to make sure I don’t accidentally buy doubles lol. One final reason is that I find swatch sticks slightly creepy 😅.
For the toppers, I made them each a normal swatch card plus I also made a small free-floating swatch that I peeled off of a piece of plastic, I let this dry and then I give it a separate slot in the swatch book. This way I can hold my nail up against it to make sure that I will like how the topper looks when applied.
These are the stamp sheets. The binder is just a regular three ring binder. The paper is scrapbook paper that was left over from my wedding scrapbook. It is kind of a lightweight card stock material. Floppier paper will be difficult to move in and out of the little pockets. I use tweezers to move the swatches in and out without damaging them.
I have almost 500 bottles of nail polish in my collection right now. I do Polish Pickup way more than I should lol. Happy to answer questions or give tips if anyone wants!
I have a vanity in my bedroom, but recently I've had to get up earlier for work so I do all my makeup in the living room to avoid disturbing my partner. I wanted a solution other than having several jars/containers/makeup storage that were scattered and prone to dust. I also found makeup bags and cosmetic bags a pain to sort through. I was looking for a caboodle initially because those are really popular these days, but I couldn't find one that could fit all I had and I ended up buying this on Amazon for $20.
I have the minimal amount of makeup I need to do a full face in the morning, but also have some other makeup that I don't use regularly elsewhere. This setup also helps me keep track of what I actually use regularly and encourages me to buy less makeup that doesn't fit in here. The dividers are customizable so I was able to adjust it to my needs and the area where I store the brushes is backed with plastic so it's easy to clean. I promise this isn't an advertisement, just super happy with this :)
I know they have them on Amazon, they even have diffrent colored beads if you want another color that's not white.
If you search a combo of Covered+Makeup+Brush+Holder+Dustproof you'll find several.
It is! I originally got it for my soju but it’s half an inch too short to fit, so I just fit one bottle and the rest tiny skincare and some masks later on. The shipping to return is like 1/2 the price I paid so I thought might as well just keep it ��
edit: if anyone’s interested, it’s technically a 6 can beer cooler but heres the amazon link.
Super cheap from Amazon! I saw something similar on urban outfitters a while back, but this was a much more affordable option! I’m obsessed with it. Also thank you so much!
Amazon link for anyone interested.
There are other ones available if you prefer wire, plastic, etc. The bamboo one (although I bit lighter in color) goes well with the inside of my drawer I think :)
​
Edit: PS - The smudge on Modern Renaissance is bothering me, so I apologize to anyone else who is bothered by it. LOL
This is my desk if anyone is interested, the right part slides in and out! Then I just bought a glass topper from a local glass store.

I found the mirror at Marshall's, but here's the same one from PB Teen.
The adhesive lights I ordered from Amazon.
I have something like this, bought them on eBay for about $1 each. They let the sponge air dry while keep it off your vanity surface.

I found both on Amazon. There are several brands on there when you search for "acrylic brush cover." Here's a link to one that looks similar to mine. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06Y5X575L/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_awdo_7ycfDbQ7P4BAX

The jar is full of 6x6" flannel wipes. I use them to pat my face dry after washing or to remove my makeup.
I can vouch for this one. This particular listing is out of stock but I believe you can find it from other sellers. It packs flat between uses and I find it sturdy enough to completely fill up every slot without issue.
Amazon! It is a little small; I couldn’t fit all my makeup in it, even though I only have a small collection. I’ve decided to keep my basics in it to transfer to and from my bathroom.

A covered brush holder could be helpful ☺️
That is exactly what it is! I just measured the space, got a board from Home Depot, and covered it with some contact paper I got off Amazon. It cost ~$20 to make
Had the common problem of large palette quantity not fitting in standard 6-10 palette storage options. Found some pot/pan lid organizers from TJ Maxx and got 2 at $6.99 a piece and placed them upright. For reference, there's 34 palettes in my inventory, and with both racks they are at full capacity, so each would comfortably fit 15-17 palettes. Unable to find a link to the exact one, so here's a close alternative from Miss Amazon:
The chest is thrifted - sorry. I do find that a domed storage container such as this is best for this as it has plenty of vertical room for the taller brushes and products you want to keep contained. The acrylic cotton organizers are also amazon, the two smaller ones are connected while the cotton round dispenser is stand-alone. Again, I love these cute little organizers that help keep everything dust free.
​
Just a small corner of my dingy old vanity, but was really stoked about my new palette organization find and wanted to share since I know other collectors have way more than I do who might struggle with a feasible organizational technique. It's probably pretty underwhelming, but stay tuned, as there's a big upgrade underway lol.
A good lighted mirror! I have this one and it’s wonderful. The ability to dim the lights and change the temp of the lighting is really nice.
These because I thought it was hilarious looking. It makes me smile every time I see it. https://www.amazon.com/Hestya-Makeup-Display-Support-included/dp/B06XT41DDJ/ref=mp_s_a_1_5?dchild=1&keywords=chick+beauty+sponge+holder&qid=1621488238&s=beauty&sr=1-5
Its mostly a picture guide of how to use makeup to achieve the desired effects. It breaks down terminology and techniques used by makeup artists in the 90s. It’s a great book! It may be old but i find it’s not dated. It’s not so much about looks to try but tricks to master. My mom gave this to me when I was like in 8th grade ( like 12 years ago), so I have no idea if it’s still around
Edit .found it!
I got them from amazon! They stick to the mirror with suction cups :)

I bought the gold leaf from Amazon and used modge podge I already had to stick it on. I think there may be glue that works better, but modge podge worked for me so I went with that since I already had it.

So someone on my original post in r/makeupaddiction thought that I should make the same post here, so I've pasted it below!
Since these things are all over Amazon, I figured I'd review the one I got.
It was packaged really well; in sealed shrinkwrap, baby bubble wrap, big bubble wrap, and then in a nice form-fitting box. So even though the dimensions are listed, and I have a tape measure, I have to say it seems so small in person! But my entire makeup collection fit (except for some of the palettes that were too tall to fit in the palette holder, which is fine since I ran out of slots anyway).
The boxes are not connected, so you can organize them however you want, including the top part (with the foundations in it). Also, each cubby can accommodate either one big drawer or three small drawers, so you can mix and match those too. Each box has two cubbies, for either two large drawer, six small drawers, or half and half, and the boxes have little rubber feeties on the bottom so that they don't scuff each other, or the shelf you store them on. They also came with pre-cut black mesh liners, which I thought was nice (I can take a picture of one if you'd like to see).
If anyone is thinking about buying one of these and would like to see specific pictures of any part, let me know! There are a ton of sellers, but I tried to pick one with a bunch of reviews (that fakespot didn't flag as suspicious). Overall I'm really pleased with it! I was concerned with the size at first, but it's compact and efficient; I actually didn't end up using one of the small drawers, and several of them are sparsely packed.
It was a gift, but it came from amazon. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07Q4TCLGT?pf_rd_r=ZFVQJTZYE6MZ290H5TKG&pf_rd_p=5ae2c7f8-e0c6-4f35-9071-dc3240e894a8
I've seen them advertised on insta and other places for about 3-4 times that amount!
The first thing that came to my mind was a horizontal holder, that way you could see all of them and display both parts of the brush without worry about damaging them.
Something like this or even this should work. I searched "Horizontal Brush Holder" on Amazon, and there are some others listed. Googling "Wooden brush holder" offered some results too, so there are definitely a lot of options!
It’s served me well over the years! 💖 Palette organizer
Here’s the link to the big organizer too if anyone is curious. ☺️ Acrylic organizer

There's a cheap depotting tool on Amazon that comes with a metal mixing palette (weird combo, I know, but the palette actually has come in handy!) that worked really well for me. I've also done the trick where you use a flat iron (CAUTION: if you choose to go that route, please watch LOTS of videos and be INCREDIBLY CAREFUL.)
One thing I would suggest is starting with an inexpensive and easily replaceable palette. And maybe only do one and see how you like using it in a Z palette. I can tell you a couple years ago I depotted a bunch of WnW trios and 8 pan palettes. And then I rarely touched them again. Ended up decluttering them, only to buy new ones (in the new formula) later. And I actually use them again. I thought I would like everything together, but it ended up leaving me really uninspired and overwhelmed.
Not trying to talk you out of depotting! Some people love it. But it also sucks to find out it's not for you AFTER you've depotted everything.
I have been on the lookout for a covered brush holder/organizer that I could keep on my vanity since ages, but could never find one that worked for me.
Finally found the perfect one and I love it. Here's where you can buy one if you like.
I’ll update the product list soon. And, here a link to the bag https://www.amazon.com/Capacity-Professional-Organizer-Adjustable-Accessories/dp/B07SW3KCHL/ref=mp_s_a_1_omk_2?dchild=1&keywords=makeup+case&qid=1623866558&sr=8-2
For those tube products, I normally use a mug or just lay them flat, but I don't have many. Back when I did, though, I used something like the above.
Thanks! I’ve tried using other boxes and they’re usually too small or bulky. I think you can find this shape on amazon; search “tin candy hinge box” The closest I found was this: Metal Hinge Top Tin Containers for Crafts Geocache Storage Survival Kit by MagnaKoys (2) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00JK4A5GQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_qr0eBbFADK81K
As an alternative suggestion to wet wipes: hand sanitizer! I also want to have clean hands before touching my face and looked up what hospital staff use for hand sanitizer-- As per the reviews, I don't find it drying and it's not sticky. It'll set you back about $15 for 16.9 fl oz. Here's a link to the Amazon page and love that it comes with a pump.
*edited for link.
I have this one off Amazon. Easily stores my urban decay palettes but haven't tried anything bigger.
Sure! I got it on Amazon, but the braces that hold up the desk were super janky so I had to rig them with hair ties!
But it still serves its purpose and works great as long as you don’t try to lean with all your weight on the desk!
Edit: aw snap they don’t have it any more! I’m sorry guys!
These are my new favorite organizational trays from target! - trays Drawers are from amazon - drawers they’re ok, probably on par with the Alex drawers.
Left to right- 1. liners I don’t really reach for and potted/cream liners 2. Mascara 3. Brow pencils, mascaras, pomades and a couple of every day brushes 4. (Upper right) inglot duraline, grandelash, glo-minerals sharpener and tarte lash curler 5. (Bottom right) liners I use regularly— mostly pen liners
Let me know if you would like to see any of the other drawers and I will try to make them look presentable!
I would get a tall and large rotating organizer for the skincare:

I got it on Amazon.

I feel like it's pretty good quality for the cost! Super easy to put together too (just screw on the legs). The stool I got a couple of years ago, from maybe overstock?

This is the vanity. I'm so glad I waited because Amazon used to only have more classic looking vanities and only recently have I seen a couple modern options.
I originally had two of these holding all of my makeup. I didn't like how they covered the shape of the mirror on this vanity, they were too tall for the small desk space. I took out the drawers of the plastic organizers and they fit perfectly in these drawers. Drawer on the left has concealer, brow products, eyeliner, less used lip products, blush and powders. Right drawer has all eyeshadows.
Thank you! I hung the flowers with leaves on them with mounting tape and the ones with no leaves I nailed into the wall with a single nail. It took a couple hours to place them all and get them on the wall, but it was actually pretty fun to put together :) and the shelves are from Amazon
I bought a strand of vanity lights on Amazon. There are 10 lights in the set I ordered. They have adhesive backs so you can attach to your mirror. My mirror came from Target or Walmart, and was just as cheap. Lights and mirror together cost me a little less than $40. I love my setup and wouldn’t hesitate in ordering and doing it again!

I’m on mobile and I’m sitting on a plane that’s about to takeoff. I hope the format for that link works, but if not I will figure out how to fix it later 😁
You might remember me from THIS POST a few days ago!
After months of stressing about the clutter in this room, I finally moved the large plastic tubs into storage, unpacked that huge brown box, and also emptied all my trash bags full of shoes and organized them into the closet.
What’s left to do:
Mount the round mirror on my wall above the vanity desk
Purchase THESE LIGHTS from Amazon to mount onto the mirror (if you have a better suggestion, I’m all ears!)
Either purchase a floating shelf to hang to the right of the vanity or a smal standing drawer unit to store my lesser-used items so I can get rid of the extra large acrylic organizer that is taking up a LOT of space on the desk
Hang sheer curtains
The brown rattan chair and side table will also be moving out of this room once we get rid of some other furniture that a family member is going to take off our hands!
All-in-all, this was a one-day project that makes me feel soooo much better. I can’t tell you why I put it off for so long - but I’m glad I finally got around to at least doing the bare minimum to make this space more zen for me!
Let me know what you think and if you have any other suggestions! This has been a fun experience :)
thank you! if you mean the vanity itself, here’s the link: Azadx Makeup Table Set,Tri-Folding Mirror Vanity Table Set Dressing Table Organizers with Cushioned Stool Bedroom (White-5 Drawer) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B077BXKNWH/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_nU5LEbA9J8FH6. for the light up mirror, unfortunately i have no idea. it was a christmas gift. you can probably easily find a similar one on amazon, though!
This is the one I use to separate brushes!
Both on amazon. The brush one has a back storage area where I put like blush palettes or whatever doesn’t fit in the other organizers.
The palette one is adjustable, so you can remove dividers to put more in one area.
Personally, I like to keep the top of my vanity sparse so that my “work space” is clean until I start my makeup and can lay out everything I want to use that day. I would keep a rotating set for your skincare, the brushes, and maybe a few of your favorite things or the most aesthetically pleasing items to keep on the vanity itself and put the rest in a drawer/organizer. IKEA Alex drawers are popular, but if you have limited space or don’t want to spend too much, even something like this would look good in your space. I think a “closed” drawer/organizer would help if you feel cluttered or overwhelmed with options. You could even put more of your existing organizers on top so that everything is more spread out too. You’ve got a beautiful collection, good luck!

After doing a reverse image search on google, it appears to be a DIY organizer. It started out as a desktop organizer modified with acrylic drawers and repurposed. But... I found something very similar and relatively affordable on Amazon.
I saw another poster use the Jerrybox Cosmetic Organizer to organize their skincare and thought it would help fix my counter space issue. I got the Square Black one from Amazon.
I'm pretty happy with it so far. It was easy to put together, but some of my taller items wouldn't fit with a shelf attached to that section (tall lotion, hair care, etc).
I got it on Amazon! It's very light weight and handy. It holds my hairdryer flat iron etc. Office Star Metro Storage Ottoman in Vinyl, White https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00BY284RY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apap_b3NO2Zn4ZBTYu
You can buy these wall clips, for holding cords or strip lighting in place. You can get ones that are just sticky tape. I ordered mine on amazon because It’s so cheap.
I got a different kind, but a quick search found me these!
There are also the kind that are like silicone blobs with a channel down the middle to hold a cord.
Interdesign has some nice ones on Amazon! They're plastic, but they look a bit nicer than the standard clear, and come in multiple colors. There are a bunch of sizes and shapes if you scroll down and click on the suggested items... some are stackable, too :-) Hope that helps!
I'm not OP, but I'm in the US and bought the same (or very similar) item on Amazon a few years ago. I can't find the one I bought anymore, but this looks very similar https://www.amazon.com/Professional-Cosmetic-Organizer-functional-Handbag/dp/B01ELDCK9A
It is the fancy guy! My momma bought it for me as a present. It cuts drying time like crazy, but honestly, it’s not pictured because the cord was all tangled and it’s not as aesthetically pleasing, but right below my new vanity is this revlon dryer that everyone loves and in my opinion it’s better than the Dyson. This one-
https://www.amazon.com/Revlon-One-Step-Dryer-Volumizer-Brush/dp/B01LSUQSB0
It’s better than the Dyson to me!
I never knew how much I wanted a tiny shop cart for my sponges now due to this photo lol. Found one on Amazon here. It looks pretty similar to the one in the photo!
Amazon also has it (for half the cost), one option with a round mirror and one with the rectangle mirror. I always image search Wayfair since they rename the product and the majority of the time, it can be found on Amazon, hardware stores and bigger box stores.
I found it on Amazon.
It’s a little cheapy. Doesn’t roll all that great. Kinda rocks. But it does telescope, swivel, looks cute and does the job! Id give it a 3 out of 5 stars honestly.
It a brush I found on amazon that has Guerlain powder on it making it pink.

My brushes and lip pencils/taller glosses are in wine bottles I cut and repurposed into basically another pencil cup. My pallets will be going in this.

Here's a link - however, I know I got it cheaper than $65.

ottoman is this one! I wanted a sort of Audrey Hepburn glam vibe & I love pink so this was a great find, also super short vanity. I think the stool is only 11” tall maybe 13”. It’s hilarious when you’re not expecting the drop and sit down lol.
I bought these off Amazon and they're great, but they're pricey and take up a lot of space.
I love your chair! Where did you get it??
I just got that large one in your last picture from Amazon!. I love it so far, I used to have this one before. I hold most of my makeup in the large one (I also use a desk organizer, a brush/palette holder, lipstick holder) but I LOVE the large organizer the most!!
I'll upload my collection next week, I wanted to wait to get everything in and organized first:)
It's actually a little bit of a diy!
I got the physical shelf from Amazon, but the natural color that would've matched my desk was out of stock so I got the espresso color ($11.39 at the time) and used wrapping paper (This specific one is from The Paper Source for $2.49 for a half sheet) to line the shelves and flat pieces, then just white acrylic paint I had around the house to line the edges with.
Yes, it's from Amazon and I love it.

the three inserts i have in the lower right hand corner for blushes/bronzers/highlights is from amazon!! here's the link
Inspired by u/Kawaii-Cakes's post! <3
My nail polish is stored in two spice racks I got on Amazon. They could be hung, but I'm nervous about attaching them to the wall when they're full of nail polish bottles, so they just live on the counter of the guest bathroom.
They're mostly organized by color until you get to the glitters and the base/top coats. The area designated for base and top coats has recently started to double as the Holo Taco appreciation zone. :D It's a lot easier to find the specific colors I'm looking for now than when they were all in a drawer. I like to do fun nail art so it's helpful to have a bunch of options and be able to see all of the blues together to find exactly the shade I want for a Sobble's face or whatever.
Right? I can tell by your username you're a fan too! I like the design of the big one even more actually. This is it.
No hollywood lights imo, get a more simple bright light to make it more modern. I have this light and it is really nice, looks like something of this idea could work well there.
That's basically what I ended up doing. I have a large mirror and then I got this one from amazon so I could do something close.

The light on it can be a bit glitchy but for under $25 I can't complain, I really like the size as it's big enough to do makeup but not so big it takes up a lot of space and I really like the double side for getting up close .
I used some acrylic shelves at my old apartment to store my palettes because I had wall space, but was limited on desk space. These are the ones I had: https://www.amazon.com/MAKARTT-Acrylic-Bottles-Essential-Organizer/dp/B0150XH67G/ref=asc_df_B0150XH67G/
There are pictures in the review section where you can see some people using it for palette storage. I really liked it because it kind of looked like art. :)
Love it! The desk is gorgeous!! I want the Riki skinny mirror so bad!
I would add some small shelves on each side. The would really help define the space. Plus you'd have more space for storing make-up to declutter the desk itself.
I'm also a fan of the faux greenery! I like the pre-lit faux vines on Amazon would look really pretty! Like these: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08JV98S6D/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glt_fabc_BXBC05RWNHZ5VH8X44N7?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
I don't have space for a vanity right now so I'm living vicariously through these posts!!

This isn’t the exact one I got, but it’s very similar. It’s been a few years, so I can’t find the exact one I got. I think I paid a little less, but I could be remembering wrong. It has dividers that you can move around. I really like it.
Edit: if you use similar keywords, other styles of this pop up.
I also got lucky that those clear containers my brushes are in, fit perfectly into that cart shelf, but they weren't overly cheap. The bigger ones were like $8 and the smaller one was $6. Definitely cheaper than anything else I found like it especially for brushes. I really wanted the acrylic flip top ones like these: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08RJXR4JT/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glt_fabc_5D50AXE7046MAX3EATBB?psc=1 but they are like 2 inches smaller on the sides so it would have taken a few more to be able to store all my brushes. And I don't think they would have all fit on one shelf. I like that these are stackable too so if I want I can get the next size up that is taller for my big brushes, and they will take up more vertical space not horizontal.
It's an acrylic nail polish bottle display stand. I got it from Amazon.
Might have been this one. Got it a while ago. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00FPOOJL2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glt_fabc_SAW6G1RPSX3DJNEHCJ9N
I hav this desk organizer and I put my makeup in the organizer tray it comes with. The sides are great for brushes. https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B08D2CQMVX/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glt_fabc_SX19DG2BNFZGRKPPFH7X?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

A lot of places have similar ones but this particular one was from Walmart https://www.walmart.com/ip/Ktaxon-Vanity-Makeup-Dressing-Table-Set-W-Stool-5-Drawers-Mirror-Jewelry-Desk-White/585782670

Thank you so much 😊 I got the organizer off of Amazon! Link: (https://www.amazon.com/Yagote-Desktop-Organizer-Magazine-Decoration/dp/B07ZJ5ZVFG)
The mirror was also from Amazon, but it says that it’s now unavailable. The one shugashug commented does look almost identical though
Haha I don’t have any kids but my 3 dogs always took it upon themselves to get tangled by the cords on an almost daily basis then freak out and run off pulling all my hot tools and organizer with them lol I always got the tool organizer on Amazon for 31 bucks. My husband mounted it on the wall for me and it’s super sturdy
Here’s the link: I originally bought the three drawer one for $16 but it seems that it’s no longer available. (I use the drawers else wear in my vanity) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07XT8VFH5/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_6ASJFAFT7QYPGSS4S565
I ordered 2 sets of these on Amazon, I used the large and medium shelves here and am going to do something else with the little ones.
