From the most gorgeous flat lay-style makeup bag I've come across to large makeup storage on a budget and even a few amazing travel makeup bag options. I really feel this post shows how much makeup storage has evolved in the last year and I'm so here for it! Hope you find a few bargain items from this little lot.

Velvet Portable Flat Lay Makeup Bag - £4.99 HERE
Flat lay makeup pouches are 100% the new makeup storage trend and I for one am here for them! Simply explained it's a drawstring makeup pouch that fully opens to layout as a flat circle meaning you can have all your makeup spread out and then gather back up into the bag with a pull of two drawstrings.
I love this idea and design but I can't say I'm a fan on the waterproof type material they are often made from. However, I did manage to find this stunning velvet makeup pouch that comes in 7 different colours and looks so pretty!
White Acrylic Large Makeup Desk Tidy - £8.79 HERE
If you like structured makeup storage that will keep everything organised and neat then this bargain offering may just be for you. The makeup drawer organiser comes in 5 colours and contains two drawers and seven different compartments, perfect for storing all your toiletries or everyday makeup in easy reach. For the price I'm so impressed!
8 x Modular Drawer Inserts - £6.99 HERE
If you are someone with countless messy junk drawers then you will find drawer organisers a lifesaver. Simply slotted into any drawer they divide up space and allow you to be more organised. This specific set comes in both black and white and includes eight different sized trays to organise one or more drawers. I need to get some of these!
Plastic Makeup Organiser - £4.75 HERE
Next, a storage organiser I could see being perfect for hair styling tools and hair products, or even skincare. I personally love the tiered compartments so everything is visible and in easy reach and the muted pink shade, although it does also come in grey and white.
Rotating Makeup Display Organiser - £10.35 HERE
Last year rotating makeup storage became popular and I loved the idea... however the white or black plastic seemed bulky and unpleasing to the eye. So I'm now very happy to see different designs emerging like this pink acrylic unit. Rotating makeup storage really makes sense, especially if you love having your everyday makeup organised and in easy reach at all times.
Hexagonal Makeup Brush Holder - £3.61 HERE
If you own a lot of makeup brushes then keeping them organised in pots is a must. I personally like to store mine in groups, with all eye brushes kept together and face brushes together, along with the beauty blending I'm currently using. So this little organiser would be ideal!
48 Nail Polish Storage Box - £9.35 HERE
Another new makeup storage solution I'm excited to share is this handy nail polish storage box that is double-sided and holds a whopping 48 nail polishes. This is ideal if you won't want to display nail polishes on a shelf or keep them unorganised in a random box. It's also perfect for bringing out when you need to re-do your nails, allowing you to look over all the shades you have in one go.
Makeup Organiser Travel Box - from £14.99 HERE
If you are someone that likes to keep your makeup in a makeup bag but doesn't like how unorganised it gets then look no further than this travel makeup bag. While you could remove the sections this makeup bag keeps everything organised and neat. It even includes a zipped pocket and space for makeup brushes that even covered and protected when closed. I also love the designs of these so much!
Decorative Cotton Pad Dispenser - £3.29 HERE
How to store cotton pads seems such a first world problem doesn't it. But unless you keep cotton pads in their original packaging they get everywhere and are hard to store and keep dust-free. Which is why I love the idea of keeping them in a dispenser, looking much neater. A simple makeup storage solution but one I think I need!
Covered Makeup Pod Storage - from £14.99 HERE
Around 10 years ago I wrote a post on what the beauty industry would look like in 2020 and if I have touched upon makeup storage I know I'd have described something as futuristic-looking as this makeup organiser!
What are your thoughts on such a contemporary/almost futuristic-looking design? I kind of love the idea of keeping all my products dust-free with the clear cover but it keeps on reminding me of an astronaut - I'm just not sure!
Quilted Makeup Bag - £5.22 HERE
Another makeup bag option here that while isn't anything new design-wise I had to include for the 90's vibes. It's cheap and tacky looking but I kind of love the holographic finish and colours mixed with the quilted material. I also really like this style of makeup bag as they really do hold a lot.
Travel Makeup Storage Box with LED Mirror - £26.39 HERE
Another futuristic design here that incorporates a makeup storage box with a very handy LED mirror, which can be used attached to the storage box or completely separate. This is a design that makes sense, although I'm hoping it will become a little cheaper!
Holographic Makeup Storage Organiser - £26.09 HERE
Another makeup storage desk tidy I really love is this holographic beauty that really stands out. This is from Domu, a brand on eBay that offer amazing quality makeup storage items that I've bought from a few times now and always been impressed by.
Not only does this unit come with 5 sizable compartments but an extra-wide drawer that will hold a lot of makeup.
Beauty Sponge Case - 99p HERE
Last year it was all about the beauty blender egg cup style holder, but this year it's gone one step further with a ventilated case for your makeup sponge. I really love this idea as it no longer means staining my makeup sponge when I throw it in my makeup bag along with my liquid eyeliner! It also seems a much more hygienic way of storing it, keeping it dust-free and from touching over products.
Glitter Planets Makeup Bag - £3.54 HERE
As you may be able to tell I do love a cheap-looking makeup bag, actually I love makeup bags in general, but this caught my eye as it was something different and fun. It comes in a range of different colours and I love that it encases both fluffy pom poms and glitter. It's also such a bargain!
6-Tier Acrylic Makeup Tower Storage - £23.98 HERE
Lastly, if like me you're a huge fan of acrylic makeup storage towers then you may want to check this out as I feel it could hold an entire makeup collection. Most acrylic makeup units include slim drawers but this offers much more room for different size products which I really love. For the price, this is such a good deal.
Let me know your favourite makeup storage organizer here - I've love to know!
Fee xo.
If you are here then you most likely own makeup products you want to keep neat and tidy and in some kind of order. The best way to do this, of course, is with a makeup organizer; from small units to makeup towers that can hold a huge amount it's the ideal makeup storage solution.
But what if you are after something more than plain acrylic makeup storage or you are simply over the rose gold trend and want to update the storage you have. Well, hopefully, I have just the finds for you with a round-up of the best gold makeup organizers around right now, plus a great DIY hack at the end! This post contains affiliate links.
In exactly a month's time I will be moving house and while it initially filled me with dread, simply due to the general stresses of moving, I've been able to reduce these negative and unwanted emotions by organising the heck out of my life!
Tidying Up with Marie Kondo has been my motivation and has highlighted that I simply couldn't throw everything into boxes and sort it after we moved in! I will not be featuring in Season two! So I've been on a serious mission to declutter my life over the past few weeks.
One of the main areas I knew I had to tackle was my makeup collection, this is something I've been putting off for years, knowing I could do to streamline and organise everything! So finally I did it, going from a 6 tiered makeup tower, vanity case, multiple makeup bags and a whole lots of dressing table clutter to a single vanity case and storage box. I know, I surprised myself!
Whether like me you have a house move on the horizon or simply want to keep from tidying up every time you do your makeup, I hope the below tips I've picked up from Marie Kondo's KonMari method can help you just as much as they've helped me.
Earlier this week I shared a makeup storage solution (in this post here) I picked up from eBay that's greatly helped me keep my dressing table tidy, something that doesn't come easy as a naturally untidy person! This got me thinking about makeup storage ideas in general as I an update of my own is needed.
So after having a look on eBay and finding so many amazing new storage solutions I thought I'd share them here! Below you will find not only makeup storage solutions but nail polish storage solutions that I think will help me get organised in that area as well!
As I'm always talking about makeup storage solutions on eBay I thought it was about time I pulled together all the best makeup storage options available. Below you will find 20+ items from some seriously cheap eBay makeup storage finds to larger makeup storage solutions that are more of an investment - still pretty affordable, mind.
I remember when I first realised the importance of an organise makeup station setup. By simply grouping products together and storing them in a few clever ways made applying makeup quicker as I knew where everything was. It also made for a neater more aesthetically pleasing dressing table! Instead of spending money, clever makeup storage ideas are where it's at and as someone with a large makeup collection, I'm hopeful I can help with that!
Below I've compiled 10 unique ways of storing makeup. From dressing table to bathroom and even secret storage in your wardrobe - I've got you covered!
After picking up an amazing acrylic drawer set from eBay the other day (review post) I decided to see what else eBay had to offer in the way of makeup storage solutions.
I'm pretty pleased with all these finds and will be picking up a few pieces as they are all so affordable! PS. Numbers 1, 6 & 7 are my favs!
1. Gold Makeup Brush Holder - £2.79 HERE
Ahhh, this is pretty genius! I'm sure I spotted something similar to this on a vlog of a U.S Youtuber recently, so it's most likely a dupe of something more pricey. The idea of this is that the holder contains inner fabric pockets that you can slot your makeup brushes into and then place more in the center, this way they stay upright. From looking at it I think it would hold around 10+ brushes. Ideal for travel as it's so compact!
2. Acrylic Lipstick Holder Case - £13.99 HERE
Now back in stock! Slightly more in price, but so worth it as it's such a stunning way to display and store your favourite lipsticks! Holds 24 lipsticks in total.
3. Hanging Wall Tidy - £5.50 HERE
If you have limited space then a fabric wall tidy is great. This seems pretty large as it can hold a hair dryer and hair tools as well as makeup items - I think I'd prefer to store nail polishes. Pretty yet super functional!
4. Clear Sweet Style Cotton Pad Holder - £2.68 HERE
I had to include this for the shape and style as it instantly reminded me of a traditional sweet shop jar. Perfect for keeping stocked up with cotton pads next to your makeup remover.
5. Lace Trim Makeup Brush Holder - £1.22 HERE
Over 2 years ago now I wrote a blog post on how to use a £2 Ikea Skurar Plant Pot as a makeup brush holder (you can read that post here). I personally think these look great and so did a lot of people as it went a bit viral! But my recommendation isn't so good for anyone that doesn't have an Ikea near them so I've finally found a total look-a-like product that's even cheaper! They are plastic but I don't see that affecting the quality at all. You can also find them in a range of different colours here for £1.50.
6. Round Acrylic Tiered Stand - £3.54 HERE
Pretty jewellery stand, yes. But what about a fragrance stand? This would look amazing with 3 of your favourite perfumes on. A unique and pretty way to show them off!
7. Filigree Wooden Desk Tidy - £9.99 HERE
Okay, this could store pretty much anything you wanted. But instantly I thought of it holding makeup palettes and makeup brush pots. This is a super pretty piece that will suit all decors and can be used anywhere, even in the kitchen!
8. Clear Ornate Cotton Pad Holder - £2.15 HERE
Another cotton pad holder... because again I loved the style and I've never seen anything like it before. The holder also comes in black.
9. Badge/Pop Art Style Makeup Bags - £2.19 HERE
These bags just look so cool and on trend with the whole badge thing right now, so I had to include them. Perfect to keep inside your handbag for makeup/personal items or for travel. I think I like the off-white badge style bag the most.
10. Rotating Makeup Organiser Stand - £9.99 HERE
This is basically the lazy Susan (is that just a UK term I wonder) of makeup storage! This clever and ultra affordable plastic storage tower can house so many makeup items and then be swirled around to get to them all. It even holds 18 lipsticks to the top of it! A very clever piece of storage.
11. Acrylic 9 Hole Lipstick Holder - £2.99 HERE
I have a few of these little tiered lipstick holders now and they really are handy. You can get ones to hold more lipsticks but personally I think ones that holds 9 lipsticks is enough so you can keep your favourites out on display so that you make use of them. Good quality and super cheap!
12. Acrylic Nail Polish Display Stand - £7.49 HERE
Lastly another storage item I own and love. This clear tiered stand holds so many nail polishes and makes the most amazing display item, especially if you're a nail junkie! I keep all my favourite glitter polishes on mine or sometimes I re-organise it with new and old shades I want to show some love to. For the price this really is very affordable and will last years.
Hope you've found some good but cheap makeup storage options!
Fee xo.
