As we are spending more time at home than ever before, many of us have gotten into that home improvement kick. Whether it’s upgrading our furniture, creating a new home office, or indulging our plantita/plantito selves with new pots, there’s a lot of effort being focused on making our surroundings look nicer and more comfortable to be in. But what about the state of your beauty stash though?
Whether you’re glamming up your face masks with memorable eye makeup or finally tossing out expired products, you’ll certainly appreciate a vanity table overhaul! Having a neatly organized makeup collection isn’t just eye candy, it makes finding products a lot easier, allowing you to circulate even pieces that you’ve been forgetting about. It’s all about finding an organization system that works for you, and using accessories that are functional as well as aesthetically-pleasing.
Whether you have tiny eyeshadow singles or full-sized bottles of foundation, these hard plastic boxes from Muji are a great way to corral similar items together. The translucent quality allows you to see what’s inside, but the white tint gives it a clean, minimalist look that can easily blend with your room’s design scheme. There are many styles and sizes available as well, with prices starting at P145 each.
If you want your prized collection to be on full display, acrylic organizers are the way to go. They have the look of clear glass cases that allow you to view their contents with ease. Miss Bella offers product-specific designs like lipstick holders and makeup brush cases, as well as more complex drawer builds. Prices start at P150 for smaller pieces on missbellaph.com.
Don’t even have a dressing table to use when applying your makeup? A trolley case may be your best bet as it functions both as a vanity and storage for all your products. This adaptability makes it staple equipment for professional makeup artists, but there’s no rule to keep amateur beauty lovers from enjoying this convenience as well. This P17,000 traincase even comes with built-in lights, so you never have to do your makeup in the dark. Find it at suesh.com.
Because most beauty organizers are designed to hold tiny pieces of makeup, skincare fans turn to shelves and baskets for storing larger bottles and cream jars. This is a challenge if you don’t have the space or can’t install shelves, but a rolling cart provides an easy fix. This Ikea design trolley makes for easy shelf space, plus you can easily move your skincare collection with you, whether you want to do your evening routine in bed or have a masking session while watching Netflix. Prices start at P1,550 at furnituresourcephils.com.
Beauty Fridge from Shimmer Beauty Studio
Speaking of skincare, products that contain a potent amount of active ingredients often stay fresh for longer when stored in cooler temperatures. A beauty fridge ensures that they won’t get degraded by our hot weather, plus it keeps them safely protected from sunlight. Stick in your favorite sheet masks and jade rollers as well—the icy cool feeling makes using them feel like a real treat! Shimmer Beauty’s 5L fridge is just P2,950 from @shimmerbeautyph on Instagram.
Marble Trays from Metier
Love taking flatlays for your beauty blogging? These marble trays are perfect for achieving that “minimaluxe” aesthetic. The polished stone and metalware make for a gorgeous backdrop for your favorite lipstick and everyday jewelry, allowing for easy access to your most used pieces. You’ll also be more motivated to keep your space neat, as you won’t be able to appreciate the marble when it’s covered in clutter! Available at metierhome.ph for P1,800.
Hide them away or put them on display? There’s no right or wrong way to organize your beauty stash, just find the right style (and accessories) to suit your particular needs!
