Simple organization for busy moms

Makeup vanity organization

My makeup vanity has been in need of a little reorganization for a long time.

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.

Take a look!

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!

Everything that I use regularly fits perfectly into this organizer, which I keep on top of my makeup vanity.

I can no longer find the exact same model that I have, but here are a few similar options for makeup organizers on Amazon:

Jewelry organization: BEFORE

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

I had a great set of organizers in there, but it just needed a little purging and cleaning out.

Jewelry organization: AFTER

Here’s my jewelry drawer after a little cleaning:

I keep a few duplicate makeup items in here, as well as a travel makeup bag for easy packing when I’m heading out on an overnight trip.

Look at all that extra space! I always say not to be afraid to leave empty space when you’re organizing. You will find a use for it sooner than you expect. 😉

That’s it for this organizing project!

Thanks so much for reading, and as always, happy organizing. 🙂
