I got this idea from Lealyn23 who was featured on Pursebuzz. It's basically a crystal clear DVD holder/rack that fits your MAC Palettes. (And no it does not fit any other palettes unless it's the EXACT same size as the MAC palettes).
You can store it upright or sideways, and I bought it from The Container Store for $9.99. They have two racks, one that holds 14, and one that holds 7. I of course got the one that holds 14 because I will fill up the 7 in no time, so the 14 was worth the buck. I separated each palette, giving a space apart for easier access as well as making it easy for me to read the label on the palette.
They also had a sale so I got some mini stacking bins for $3.99 each to store random stuff like MES's, more blushes, etc.
How it looks if you store it sideways:
I liked it upright...
Holds perfectly!
Spaced apart...
Mini Stacking Bin:
you're still awake!
ReplyDeleteyay!!! you finally got your container store dvd holder :D. haha i hope that wont give you a reason to fill that up with more palettes!

whoa that looks cool! I wouldn't have realized that the mac palette is the same size as a dvd lol

ReplyDeletei saw this, too. it's such a great idea. i only have 1 mac palette, though, so i don't really need it. haha. do you know of any other palettes that are the same size as mac?
ReplyDeleteThat DVD holder works perfectly! I only have two palettes so far, I'm not NEAR needing a holder like that yet haha (: I could only hope to have a collection like you someday!

ReplyDeleteHi Vanessa! :) I love how you organize your makeup. I really need to start doing some organizing myself so I can bring all my makeup too college easier.
ReplyDeleteAnyhow, I went to Melody's Makeup Outlet today because I just couldn't wait! I felt like a little girl in a candy store. I bought some refill pans and I'm excited to start my first palette!
