Style
Anyone who's ever been to my apartment knows that I'm completely in love with beauty products, from hairsprays to nail polishes to every eye palette ever. Naturally, this leads to a lot of clutter, particularly in my precious bathroom space (I live in a small Brooklyn apartment, so I do not have much to spare), so I found out where to buy countertop makeup organizers to create a better system. Not only do they keep your stuff straight, they also let you show it off.
Here's the problem: I'm the kind of person who has never once said "no" to a perfume or lipstick sample because I am completely, 100 percent obsessed with trying just about any type of beauty product. Whether it's the latest Korean skin care trend or a brand new hair tool (straightening brushes, anyone?), I love to collect countless products in order to stay up-to-date on what's happening in the beauty sphere. And that's exactly why I need to get organized.
If you're having trouble keeping track of where you left your favorite foundation brush or how many shades of red nail polish you have, pick up a makeup organizer that's as pretty as it is functional. There are swiveling display organizers, hanging bags, stackable clear boxes, and chic train cases, all of which get you and your tools totally organized.
