And after organizing it, I can’t believe I didn’t do it sooner! It’s so much easier to find what I’m looking for now.

Makeup vanity organization: BEFORE
As embarrassing as this is, here’s what my makeup vanity looked like before I started organizing it:
It was a mess. Obviously.
Makeup vanity organization: AFTER
The good news is, all it took to get this mess organized was an acrylic organizer and about half an hour. Here’s the after:
Quite a difference, isn’t it? I threw away a lot of products that were expired, broken, or that I just didn’t use anymore.
The result was a lot less stuff, and everything is easily seen and accessible. I love it!

Jewelry organization: BEFORE
So this is what the drawer under my makeup vanity looked like before I started organizing:

That’s it for this organizing project!
Thanks so much for reading, and as always, happy organizing. 🙂
