Beauty Clinic: Help me organise my kit!

Q. I adore make up and have a LOT!! I have a professional type box, but find it annoyingly fiddly for a busy mum on the go. I also like to be able to see all my products or I forget I have them! Any ideas for attractive storage? A. That is such a good question. And looking at the products sprawling around our shelves and windowsills, it is relevant to us too. (And most women we wager…)

Amazon offers a clear acrylic Deluxe Cosmetic Organiser with Drawer, plus trays and dedicated lipstick slots – the works in fact. It is 32 cm wide by 15 cm front to back, and 9 cm high. Reviews vary so it is worth going online to see if any of the comments apply to you.

One reviewer found exactly the right buildable items at Muji. One warning: do not use the Acrylic Storage option you find on the Google page (the links don't work properly) – go to www.muji.eu, then hit Storage and you will find Acrylic Storage. There are masses of options for boxes and dividers. Click here to take a look.

While you are at the Muji site, do have a look at Cosmetic Accessories for several useful things including Cosmetic Pencil Sharpener and Lens Cleaning Cloths.
