Bathroom Organization Ideas Plus a $50.00 dollar gift card Giveaway to the Container Store

Hello there, a few weeks ago I was contacted from the Apartment Guide. They wanted to know if I would be interested in sharing how I get organized with my beauty supplies, as well as keeping organized in my bathroom. I was sent a $100.00 dollar gift card to go shopping for some great organization pieces. I found most of my items at Home Goods and Target. Today I am showing you my messy before's and organized afters. I sure hope that these ideas or tips will help you in getting your beauty supplies and bathroom toiletries organized. 

I took an old cute turq. glad tub I found at a yard sale and filled it with cotton balls. The cotton balls remind me of a "very bubbly" bath. winks.
 I found a cute square glass candle holder at Target, perfect to hold your q-tips.
... and another cute jar to hold your cotton beauty pads.
and how nifty is the "Blow Dryer Holder" I got at Target. I love it.

I also used a small square 3 tier container to hold my foundations, eye shadows, a blush stick, and eyelash curler. 
I love pails for a lot of stuff, like craft supplies. They are also perfect for your eye makeup pencils, mascaras, and your lipsticks and lip glosses. They would work great too holding any eye makeup and blush brushes.
....OK' HERE IS MY FIRST BEFORE.. it was an attempt at getting organized but its still a mess...
first some serious wiping down and laying down some drawer lining...
AHHH' AFTER

I used more plastic trays for hair clips and headbands, as well as holding special jewelry in covered pouches. An ice cube tray is great for holding smaller earrings and rings.

sorry the sun was really shinning through my bathroom so the pics. are extra bright even adjusting my camera settings. winks.

THERE IS NO BETTER FEELING then to have things all organized and neatly in there places. I enjoy my personal belonging, makeup, and what have you a whole lot more.
Its wonderful to know exactly where to find everything and where to put everything back. As mentioned above, I sure hope these organization ideas will help you.

    I don't have but one drawer in my bathroom vanity and it is in the center between the two sinks. I did the same as you with the makeup and small items like scissors, tweezers, brushes, etc and found small baskets to fit into the drawer nicely. The area under that drawer is open and that is where I have my wastebasket and then added to stacking baskets. They are woven, not sure of the fiber, however... I put my cleaning supplies in the larger one and my hair dryer, curling iron, flat iron in the smaller one. All easy to get to but out of sight. LOVE following your blog!
