hi everyone, it's alejandra. and i am sittinghere inside my bathroom and i want to show you my new makeup setup that i have insidemy bathroom that's super easy to use. it's convenient, it's accessible, it maximizesspace, and i am just loving it. so whenever i get ready in the morning, i'malways sitting here on top of the toilet and i have my mirror right here and i bring mymakeup here to come and look in the mirror and just apply everything because this islike the best lighting. this is where - yeah, the best lighting is in the bathroom. so instead of having to get up from here andlike go get each like makeup item and bring it back, i wanted everything - i want to bringeverything to me. so what i've done here is
i have put all of my makeup in this littleslim cart that just hangs out on the side of the wall right here. it's only about sixinches wide which means it's not going to take up all of this like a walking space righthere in the bathroom. so i love it. it's on wheels and all i can do is just like whenit's time to get ready and do my makeup, i just bring it over here and then i just wheelit over, and it's super convenient because everything just comes with you and you haveeverything right there. all i did here was i got these little acrylicorganizers. there are four sections inside of this one container and i just got two ofthem. they fit perfectly inside. and i'm putting all of my brushes, my liners, my lipsticks,my tweezers, my scissors, anything that's
like small and tall, i'm putting inside ofhere. and when i got these, i immediately thought of those little pebbles or those littlerocks that you see at sephora. like when you go to sephora, they have all the makeup brushesand they're all inside these nice pebbles that keep it from falling over and stuff. and so, i went online to try and look forthem and they're kind of expensive and they're hard to find. and so, i was trying to thinklike what else can i do without having to go out and buy something else? so i decidedto try using rice just like rice from the pantry. i tried putting it inside and theni put everything inside of it and then i realized that i should probably rinse the rise becausea lot of the grains were kind of - like it
was kind of a powdery substance was comingout. so i rinsed the rice. i let it dry overnight and then i put it inside here and then i puteverything like inside of each section and it's working wonderfully. none of them waslike the powder is not getting on any other cosmetics or anything. so i was quite pleasedabout that. over here, i have all of my bronzers, concealers,foundations, lotion here, eye makeup remover here, q-tips here, and then on the side righthere, i mounted a magnetic strip just like this. this is from the container store. itcomes in different colors. i just mounted it with double size-sided mounting tape andthen i put all of my bobby pins on these little magnets because these things are magneticso you can just go like that. and it's an
easy way to store your bobby pins and they'resuper accessible and they now have a home. and then down here, i found these little steriliteorganizers. you can just get this at target, wal-mart, or maybe even dollar store. butthey fit perfectly inside of here when you put them vertically just like that. so i usethese organizers for my blush, my eye shadow. this is kind of just like an open section.i just have a little divider in place to kind of hold these bins over here so they don'tslide over here. and then i have more eye shadow down there. and then at the very bottom, it's where ihave all of my travel cosmetics and toiletries. so there is like packets of shampoo, conditioner,and then there is like little shout removers,
there is body wash and then there is hairspray,hair gel and stuff. and i'm still using these little containers down here just like thatbecause they fit so nicely. and then i just took my label marker and i put a clear labelon the very back of the bin so i know exactly what goes where. ok. and then wrapping around the cart, i wanteda place to put all of my claws for when i'm doing my hair that would be out of the wayand it would be easy to access, easy to put away because these things - i feel like ifyou don't store them correctly, they might break because they're so delicate and fragileand stuff. so all i did was wrap bungee cord. i justtook colored bungee cord that i got from,
i think it was g street fabrics. that's theonly place that sells colored bungee cord other than like black which you can only getat home depot. so i took bungee cord, wrapped it around really nice and tightly and theni put all the claws right there. and then on the side of the cart, i thinkthis is the coolest idea out of everything. i took leftover door pockets that i had tocut down in my last house just like cut them and i kind of just clipped them to the sideof the cart. the cart had like a little cover right here to kind of - i don't know had likea wall cover right here to kind of - i don't know what the cover is for, just to over it.but i just took the cover off and i took a binder clip just like this from my office,and i clipped it, the door pockets just like
that. so now, they're not going to fall down. and then i put bungee cord in the middle ofit so it will just hold it in place. and i thought that was really creative because nowi have a place for all of my pony tail holders and all of my elastic headbands. and thenof course, i just put a little label on the very front so i know what goes in and whatsection. and then i did the same thing on the otherside. you can't really see it here but i just did the same thing for some of my larger headbandslike some of - like these ones that you wash your face. you hold your hair back to washyour face. and then down here is like your standard, typical, regular headbands justlike that. but i just love this cart. i love
how i can just bring everything to me insteadof having to get up and go get everything and bring it back. it's just - it's all togetherand it's easy to access. and i kind of feel like when i was settingit up like you know when you go to a nail salon and you're getting a pedicure and thenail technician just like rolls a cart over to your station and they have everything rightthere. everything is convenient and easy to access and stuff. i kind of feel like it wasthe same setup. so i don't know. yeah, it's like the same setup. so anyways, i hope this video was helpful.when you're organizing your cosmetics, what you want to do is group like with like. soyou can go to one section to grab one category
of items and yeah, just make everything easyto access. so i hope this video was helpful. if you wantmore organizing tips or more organizing videos, you can visit my website at alejandra.tv.i'll see you soon. bye! 1
