a library is thought in cold storage.

I am slowly (very slowly, it seems!) trying to organize my life. Since I have been so busy with my work lately, it feels good to have control over some smaller aspects of my life - like being organized. That is why I have been trying to organize my makeup, clothes, and accessories over the last several weeks.

My most recent organizational project was my collection of lip products. Here is a peek into how I have been organizing them lately:


At the moment, I have most of my lipsticks organized in a clear lipstick holder. (See the top photo above) The ones I use most often are organized along the top section (sorted by: red, pink, coral, and nude shades) and the ones that I use less often, but still love, are stored in the bottom compartments.

As for the rest of my lip product collection, everything is stored in a white plastic bin. (See the bottom photo) It is nothing fancy, but it certainly does the trick. The bin holds my collection of lip glosses, lip stains, lip pencils, and any other oddly shaped lip products.

For me, the most important thing is easy access. I want to be able to find what I'm looking for quickly and easily. This way of organizing them works well for that purpose!

How do you organize your lip products?
