Katie’s entry on the makeup bag got me to thinking about overall makeup organization, which drives me crazy. I have a drawer at home that was so packed full that items got jammed in the back or fell through into the cabinet going missing for weeks. The drawer is even busted at the corner from being so packed! (see what it looked like before)
But now I’ve decided to go back to my favorite makeup organizer from the 90s, the caboodle. (I had no idea these were still around!) They have these nifty little clear boxes so it’s easy to see all your pretty eyeshadows that you don’t wear on a daily basis but want to remember you have for special occasions. That way you can keep the clear box in a separate cabinet or under your sink to pull out when necessary and not clutter up your everyday makeup drawers. (see what my drawer looks like now)
The boxes come in every shape and size and they also have some that feature compartments that hold cotton balls and tissues for easy access. See a full list of their products to chose one that’s right for you.

Oh my goodness, I used to love caboodles! What a fun memory… makes me think of slumber parties and lip gloss (oh wait, I still use lip gloss
)! I too have makeup organization challenges. While I really don’t have tons of makeup, my everyday makeup sits in a makeup bag on my bathroom counter, and it isn’t the best set-up. A caboodle really would be handy, and I’m liking the Ready-To-Go cases. Thanks for sharing!

I know! I felt the same way when Lacey sent me this tip. I especially like that she bought the ones with sparkles on them, so girly and cute. I think this could work for other stuff in the bathroom as well. Instead of having things piled in drawers and cabinets you could neatly stack boxes of first aid supplies, feminine products, cotton balls and tissues, etc.
