How do you store your make-up?!

Make-up, clothing, jewelry & shoes....every girl has a lot of them, but sometimes it's difficult to store them! I've bought divider drawers from The Container Store like these:

They were great for organization, but took up too much counter space! I also tried cosmetic bags big and small, but when I moved to Chicago and had the smallest bathroom known to man, I needed something easy to store away that was sturdy, easy to clean and easy to find my makeup in. Surprisingly, the solution was a clear plastic rectangular shoe box for $1.99 at Bed Bath and Beyond. A simple and dirt cheap solution! I keep the lid on it while I'm not using it so it can be stored away easily.



I recently sifted through my make-up and got rid of a lot but once I start compiling more I'm not sure if this will still be an optimal storage space! We'll see =)
