Spring Cleaning: Makeup and Toiletries

 Today I am decluttering my makeup and toiletries! 

My makeup "collection" is very small, but I feel like this method will work for almost any size collection. I have gone through it recently but it really needs another go-through. This is how everything was kept before:

I hate that drawer. Finding stuff is a pain.
First I took some old tupperware containers with missing lids and then labeled them like so,

Favorite, Replace, Use up, and Toss.
Then I went through everything and filled them,

Yay!
I took care of the "toss" container right away. Everything in there was either thrown or given away. I took note of the lone shedding kabuki brush and got rid of the "replace" container also. The "use up" container was put back on my shelf and I am forcing myself to reach for that container first- before touching my "Favorites".

I have been searching for makeup displays/organizers for a while but haven't really found the *perfect* one and they are also generally expensive. I decided to DIY it and currently have some ideas floating around. I'll post that once it's done. At least now I know how much space I need to fit my "favorites", plus a little extra for future growth. ;D
