❧❦ Makeup and Accessory Storage Ideas ❦❧

[12Sanguine]

It doesn't look comfortable to keep cotton pads like this, what when there's only two left?

How do You reach them?

[thesassiwench]

@12Sanguine LOL! There is a cutout down the length of the tube and I promise you can reach every last cotton pad! The day you wrote this I had just used some pads out of this container and there was only one left! Hahahaa!

[jaemiedelapena]

well i can afford about a quarter of that lol

[thesassiwench]

@jaemiedelapena Oooeeee, well I collected over time and I always try to find the best deals and use coupons :-)

[hipretty]

kaboodles.... the train cases were my first storage system too as a teen! :-) I felt so grown up with a place for my makeup! They have come a long way...these are quite elegant!

You have arranged everything beautifully. Is that your vanity or where you normally keep and do your makeup? Or was it set up there for demonstration purposes for this video?

[thesassiwench]

@hipretty Hello! I love Kaboodles! This is just the dresser where I laid out everything after I had cleaned out my cosmetics, and I decided to show the storage containers in a video. I use this dresser for nail polishes and fragrances, but I have a vanity where I store my makeup (I did a video on that, too). Take care.

[vneskae]

Thanks for the ideas, great vid! xx

[Itsallaboutmybeauty]

Very nice !



[MyNiecesMakeMeLaugh]

Hello, Ms. Sassi Wench. I enjoyed your video. I noticed this question already... where might I find the sunglasses holder?

[nicolasbeauty]

[tinkerbell08bgd]

Love it! Thank you so much for this video, I don't have Ebay buying opportunity (sending opportunity, actually), but I'll find something similar! :)

[kalypso764]

Great video, love the storage. Where did you say that you got the cotton sawb/q tip holder from?

[chicachew]

Love those clear storage trays! Def makes me think I should organize my stash! I wish I had a lovely display such as yours! ^_^

[carcar12345ful]

Pineapple!!!!!!

[Laura143143]

[thesassiwench]

@Laura143143 I got it off Ebay - just google acrylic glasses rack.

[KDL522]

Very nice - thank you! I don't have my beauty stuff organize at all, this was very inspiring - more of these please :)!

[shanushak]

[missnailsnmakeup]

[Kikimakeupful]

Yes I grew I love this makeup and storage video great job!!!!

[thesassiwench]

@Kikimakeupful Thank you! I'll be filming my vanity tour video soon!

[kissFATE1]

Now this is what I call a "makeup storage" video, instead of going on and on about how much/what kind of make up you have.

thumbs up.

[thesassiwench]

@kissFATE1 Thank you so much! I'll be filming a vanity tour video soon :-)

[8OBHRZ]

Just subbed! Just wondering where you from? At times i thought you sounded Australian, Kiwi and American? Haha, awsome video. Cheers x

[thesassiwench]

@8OBHRZ Thank you! I grew up in South Africa but I've lived in London and now in the USA for years, so the accent is a little bit confused, even to me ;-)

[georgiee011]

where are from? your accent is amazing!

[thesassiwench]

@georgiee011 Lol! Oh, thank you! I grew up in South Africa but I've lived in London and now in the USA for years, so the accent is a little confused, even to me ;-)

[BritishNow]

Where have you had transparent containers? Sorry if you did say in the video, but I do not understand English ! ANSWERS please!

[thesassiwench]

@BritishNow Hello! The link to all of this is in the information box under the video!

[JubilantMints]

You have a gorgeous voice. I think I could listen all day. :) Wonderful tips too.

[thesassiwench]

@JubilantMints Thank you so much! Someone I work with was watching my videos and she said that even though she talks to me all day at work, she also felt that watching my videos made her relaxed because of my voice, lol!

[MsLaila84]

great video dear I got into organizing lately since my makeup collection is getting bigger and bigger each day so its much more easier to find things and of course looks much much more beautiful ...........love your ideas as always :)

[thesassiwench]

@MsLaila84 Thank you! I am planning to film my makeup vanity soon so that you can actually see the whole layout :-)

[vanessaxsureen]

just subbed :D great video! But where did you buy everything from?

[thesassiwench]

@vanessaxsureen Thank you! I posted this on my blog, and the link is below the video, but it took me a while and I bought them from places like Target, Amazon.com, Ebay, and directly from Lenox.

[EsteeDarla]

I love all the acrylic stuff I used to get the caboodle's stuff when i was a kid,teens,adults and still love them they are so versatile thats for sure

[kosuke1215]

u no whats helarious in my mind XD the initials on the large tray was my initials :D before i got married XD i love ur storage system wouldnt work for me but it is very handy to know : )

[thesassiwench]

@kosuke1215 No way! Lol! Well these are my initials after I got married :-)

[kosuke1215]

@thesassiwench lol freaky huh XD

[dearheart5574]

Your storage solutions are absolutely gorgeous!! I love how you incorporated the Kate Spade cake plate and box- so so pretty! I'm obsessed with all things Kate Spade and all the pretty acrylic pieces too!

[thesassiwench]

@dearheart5574 Thanks! I love Kate Spade - I have several of her things - so pretty.

[oohlalalachelle]

It never ceases to amaze me, no matter how many videos I see on makeup organization I can still pick up pointers! Yours was absolutely fantastic! I was wondering how I would display my fragrances and never once thought of using a plate. I was thinking of using a 16X20 pretty picture frame and I think I still may do so but I will take a trip to one of my favorite home decorating stores...Home Goods and pick up a lovely plate to display fragrances also. Thnx again.

[thesassiwench]

@oohlalalachelle Thank you! That idea was all my own - I wanted something that was a clear glass and sturdy - and I found this cake plate and thought that it was perfect! I should actually do a video on my vanity and layout. I did this video when I was busy cleaning everything and I realized I had a lot of containers, and I just filmed it, but my vanity looks much prettier with everything in its place.

[nanzter10]

loves!!:) thank you for this video

[thesassiwench]

@nanzter10 Thank you! I like it too - I've watched it a few times myself! ;-)

[Jett1n]

Hello :) I saw something in your caboodle that I have that I was able to buy just once here in the usa online and now in kicking myself that I didnt buy more cause I love it and that is the bourjois liquid eye shadow, is that the color "brun" I see? Soo pretty :) Do they still sell those where u live?

[thesassiwench]

@Jett1n Oh yes! I could kick myself for not getting more when I had the chance - I can't find them anywhere now (I bought mine at Ulta last year) but you can get them on Amazon.com for the (ouch!) price of around $23! I think I paid around $6 each for mine! I'll have to get more when I go to Europe next year if they are still being produced.

[dostwill]

Your videos are very helpful. Thanks for doing them. How do you store your brushes? I put mine in a cup but they get dusty easily. Is it good to lay them on their side and put them in a case? I think you are on vacation, so enjoy!

[thesassiwench]

@dostwill TY! I store them upright in Sephora Collection Makeup Brush Box Large (not shown in this video). Although these are not the glass with beads "Sephora style" that you see everyone use. Sephora only sells the individual ones, now, I think. They come in black, red or white, and what I like about them is that they are lined, so you don't damage your brush handles. I think that storing them in a brush roll is probably a better option than just laying them flat in a case :-)

[KeilaLin23]

love everything in this video, has give me inspiration for my own vanity!

was wondering...the kate carlye vanity tray you have, what are the dimensions, the site doesnt say

[thesassiwench]

@KeilaLin23 Eeek! I somehow missed your comment! I'm sorry I'll get to it and measure it for you.

[Love0Juicy]

I love this video.

[thesassiwench]

@Love0Juicy Thanks! I should actually film everything on my actual vanity, showing the layout as I use it. The day I filmed this, I was just busy spring cleaning and everything was on my dresser, so I thought I'd lay everything out and show everyone some storage tips! Hhhhhmmmmm...

[nyscurls08]

im trying so hard to find the Acrylic sunglasses storage from Ebay but i cant find them :( can you help me?

[thesassiwench]

@nyscurls08 Hello! Yes!

Go to Ebay and type:

Acrylic Sunglasses Eyeglass Display Stand - 4 Pair

...which is sold for $8.50 by "discountjewelrysupply"

Enjoy! :-)

[nyscurls08]

@thesassiwench Hi and thank you so much!!

[bonzaibb12]

Ikea Has very similar trays and orginizers that cost a bit less. Its in there bathroom section online.

[thesassiwench]

@bonzaibb12 Yes! Actually, I have some Ikea storage trays in my vanity drawer.  They are the white trays - very inexpensive and very useful. When I do my makeup vanity video I will show them there. Thanks for watching!

[9jenrae]

Classy!



[thesassiwench]

@9jenrae Thank you! 

[EmeraldFlames12]

@thesassiwench Ohh! It sounds like you have an Australian/nz accent:)

[EmeraldFlames12]

great ideas thankyou ! :) are you from nz or australia?

[thesassiwench]

@EmeraldFlames12 Thanks! Neither. I'm from South Africa.

[TheVonvon13]

WOW!!! Love the clear look! I want that in my bedroom.Thanks for the idea and sharing this video.

Take care...

[thesassiwench]

@TheVonvon13 Thank you so much! I love it all, I think it's so pretty. Let me know if you ever do a storage video :-)

[superara1]

i absolutely love your storage.

[thesassiwench]

@superara1 Thank you so much! I'm very happy with it :-)

[ciarasison]

I love your taste! <3 All of it seem so classy and clean.

[thesassiwench]

@ciarasison Thank you! I do hate makeup mess, like powdery fingerprints on containers and things like that. I make sure to wipe everything down. Thanks for watching :-)

[Latoya47]

I love this~ im going to google the clear caboodles~Thanks for sharing and i subbed..:)

[21vanilla]

@Latoya47 they are sold at target :)

[destinysdesire84]

Hey there! You have a really nice setup. I was wondering exactly where you got the container that holds the q-tips, cotton balls, etc and the perfume plate. Thanks!

[thesassiwench]

@destinysdesire84 Hello, the cake plate is called Kate Spade Larabee Dot Cake Plate from Macy's, and the Caboodles Q-tip container I got from Target.

[destinysdesire84]

@thesassiwench It's so frustrating because I've been to four different Targets and can't seem to find it. :( How long ago did you purchase it?

[thesassiwench]

@destinysdesire84 Oh no! It was a while back but maybe they stopped stocking it. Try visiting their website. I saw it on the caboodles. com website this week. It's called "My Essentials Box." Let me know if you have any luck!

[destinysdesire84]

@thesassiwench I saw it on there too but I don't think people can purchase from this site. :(

[destinysdesire84]

@thesassiwench Ooo I actually found on it ebay.  Thanks for your help!

[thesassiwench]

@destinysdesire84 Yay! I knew they still made it because it was on the website and I've seen it in stores (can't remember which, though). Enjoy it, it will last forever! ;-)

[Buttercupjoy1988]

very nice and sassy. Great ideas for storage

[jane6953]

Beautyful storage,I have to try to get some of it. You have so many beautyful things.

I hope you are well.

[thesassiwench]

@jane6953 Thank you Jane! I'm very well, and I hope you are too! Take care!

[emilieclarke]

I love all that acrylic! I must get!

[thesassiwench]

@emilieclarke Lol, it's great! Really hygienic and easy to maintain and STRONG!

btw: I hope Bill is going to be ok! :-(

[PipMotoShow]

Wonderful ideas - good to hear caboodle is still around

[thesassiwench]

@PipMotoShow I know! I feel like Caboodles are like Tupperware... always around somewhere... ;-)

[stunninqx]

I started watching your videos when I was looking up information regarding the BirchBox. Not only did I fall in love then, I look so forward to all of your videos now. You are extremely organized and well-spoken. I feel as if the information I receive from you is straight forward and honest. Well done and I definitely look forward to more videos in the future!

[thesassiwench]

@stunninqx Oh, well, thank you so much! I am so very happy that you enjoy watching my videos. I enjoy making them, and I just try to share my interests and any information that I can. And yes, I am very straight forward, as anyone who has ever known me can attest to ;-) I'm certainly not going to say I'm happy with a product if I am not really and truly happy with it. In my next BB video I will talk about some of the problems people seem to have with their BB. Take care.

[CharlotteSophiaSF]

Very nice! I love your videos, love your voice, love your accent, love the way you say here - "he-ah" So elegant :) You have lovely taste in everything I've seen. Thanks for showing us this part of your life.

[thesassiwench]

@CharlotteSophiaSF Oh Ms. Charlotte Sophia, thank you so much! I always feel like a tomboy, so to hear someone say that I talk elegantly is so charming - it really made my day after someone said nastily that I looked like a vampire today! I do plan to share a whole lot more... I have all sorts of videos coming up and I hope that you will continue to enjoy them, as I enjoy making them. Do take care, Sassi.

[MissJodieElizabeth]

I do adore watching organizational videos have you done a perfume video collection video? I would love to see the type of scents you like recently I have become obsessed with nail and nail art (I'm still yet to get the konad plates) but I adore nails Inc and Barry m polishes at the minute and beautyuk polishes are quite good too :) I only have poi base coat and topcoat desperately wanting to try out some more of their polishes though :)

[thesassiwench]

@MissJodieElizabeth Hello there Miss Jodie! I do plan to do a perfume video, and several nail polish ones. My mother is a trained nail technician (I think that's what they are called?), and she ran her own nail business for a while, so she and I are both crazy about nail polish, nail art, and all that goes with it. I've seen some Barry M polishes that I do like, but I've never bought any. There are some fabulous products out there. Have you heard of Rescue Beauty Lounge? I just got 2...

[thesassiwench]

@MissJodieElizabeth ...and I am going to try them out and maybe do a blog post on them. They look spectacular! Go here (remove the spaces - YT won't let us post links in here):

[TheLuxeBabe]

Hi Sassi, love this video !! Great storage ideas, they look beautiful . wishing you a wonderful Sunday sweetie: )

[thesassiwench]

@TheLuxeBabe Hello! Thank you! I hope you had a good one, too! Take care!

[MochaChaiChica]

WOW! My vanity looks like a tornado blew through. I have zero motivation to attempt to fix it lol But you gave me some good ideas! I have got to get me some storage thingys!

[thesassiwench]

@MochaChaiChica Lol! Well, there is no time like the present... I'm not always this über organized but I aspire to be and nothing pleases me more than when I've dusted, sorted and organized it all to look pretty again ;-)
