I have an ikea malm dressing table and a malm bedside table under it. My everyday essentials go in the drawer and the rest is in the bedside table drawers in drawer deviders. The only thing I have in acrylic stands are my nail polishes and they're a bastard to dust.

I have scoured all sorts of websites and images, but I have never even seen something I like.
I hate the acrylic drawers, they don't look like they hold much, seem pokey, and like the kind of thing someone has in a cheap salon.
So I hope someone on here has the answer!

Mine goes in the top drawer of my dressing table (which is really just a pine chest with a mirror on top and a chair in front).

I have a drawer organiser, like a cutlery tray, which keeps everything in place.

I got my acrylic one of ebay just short of £20 for quite a big one (you could get different variation) I love it soich easier to find what you need. I also seen wooden ones on etsy

Jammed into an old toiletries bag Blush and then in a bathroom drawer. Not ideal.

Don't know what an acrylic drawer is as such but mine is an acrylic stand thing. Everything neat and organised and easy to admire see.

Wierd timing, having seen a Facebook pic have just ordered some acrylic drawer insert things off eBay, one of them holds 24 lipsticks so you can have them sticking up showing the colour so you don't waste your life finding the one that you know is in there somewhere. The inserts would go in my too drawer which is perfectos hidden from view but still organised. And it was about three quid! Have you tried a quick search on amazon too?

I bought an acrylic stand from home bargains for £5 a couple of months ago, but they had some in store this weekend. Tk maxx also do them for about £10.

I also have some Seagrass baskets for toiletries which are great.

I use Muji's stacking PP "Vanity cases", they come in several sizes and depths so you can stack several shallower ones on top of each other in a draw. I keep the things I use most in the top level so it works quite well. It's not as limiting as acrylic draws and dividers.

This one is really good as it rotates and was under £10. Makes it really easy to find everything I need.

I also use the acrylic 24 lipstick stands that were under £3 each, an ivory coloured plant pot from ikea for my brushes and an ivory coloured basket to keep all my pallettes in.

Another fan of Muji's pp boxes. They stack and have a great variety of sizes. I have a large deep one for face stuff, smaller deep ones for eyes and another for lips, then a shallow box for brushes.

nothingwittyhere · 24/08/2015 11:09

Me too!

GrimDamnFanjo · 25/08/2015 18:03

I have a Beauty Box from Amazon - one for make up the other for skincare.

jellyjiggles · 25/08/2015 19:45

I put mine in a large woven basket with a lid. Brushes go in a bag inside basket. Works well for me

RavioliOnToast · 25/08/2015 22:09

ohmygod Fred that's absolutely perfect! I love it so much! Grin Grin

I have an ikea skubb compartment box, it's quite big but I have everything in it, make-up, perfume, hair stuff. I've added those pretty lace effect ikea plant pots to the compartments which has made everything easier to find. I've split the make-up across the 4 small squares, face, eyes, lips and compacts.
