"Last month, you revealed all the crazy-creative ways you store your makeup. The discussion got me to thinking: I&amp;#x27;m so over makeup bags. Yeah, they&amp;#x27;re portable and thus make the most sense space-wise in my studio apartment, but it&amp;#x27;s a drag to have to either dig for the item I need or dump everything out only to pack it up again later. I fantasize about having a sit-down vanity where I can prettily display my makeup on trays and keep my brushes upright in jars. That likely won&amp;#x27;t happen for years--but I just purchased a fabulous organizey item that&amp;#x27;s going to help tide me over &amp;#x27;til then. Behold my miniature chest of drawers. Made of clear lucite, it perches unimposingly atop the slim shelving unit in my bathroom and is going to house not only my everyday makeup but all those loose hair ties and stray headbands that are perpetually laying around the apartment. The best part: I put my most-used, daily makeup items in the bottom drawer, which I can easily pull out and use as a tray. It&amp;#x27;s almost like my vanity fantasy! I found the organizer at one of my favorite shopping establishments, a Japanese store called Muji, which recently opened a flagship in New York. Unfortunately, the company doesn&amp;#x27;t sell much online in the U.S., but the MoMA store carries a few of the organizational items. Also: If, perchance, you&amp;#x27;ll be passing through the new JetBlue terminal in JFK airport this week, check out the new Muji mini-store there. They sell such well-designed beauty basics, from pumice stones to hair clips and makeup brushes. Not to mention all the sleek little jars and stackable bins--the store is like porn for organizing junkies like myself. Anyway, just thought I would share in case anyone&amp;#x27;s feeling uninspired by their products&amp;#x27; presentation. Have you had any interesting ideas for reorganizing your beauty loot lately?
