Reddit reviews Clear Plastic Drawer Organizers 12" x 3" x 2" l Set of 6

I had to piece it together because I haven’t found proper inserts for these drawers yet. The clear container that has my liquid and cream highlighters are these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01D06SMUU?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title
The clear dividers are from my acrylic cosmetic drawers - also from Amazon, but they seem to no longer sell them, unfortunately.

I'd recommend something like this to store your brushes and cotton pads/q-tips since it has a cover to protect your brushes from dust/dirt.

Using letter holders such as this one is good for storing your eye shadow palettes.

You can either get individual inserts for your drawer that you can customize to however you want or you can just get sectioned ones if you're feeling lazy. You can also use these on top of your desk for skin care stuff since you use them everyday (I assume). With these, you can prevent your desk from staining and you can quickly wash them if they get gross.

I personally don't like the mini-drawers as I find them inconvenient since they're small and sometimes you just want to grab something quickly instead of having to squeeze your hand in them. Unless you use them for q-tips and cotton pads, since those need to stay covered.

I don't have those spinning ones, but I think they would work well if you have a bigger desk, since it gives you easy access to all your stuff.

If you don't have a lot of storage space, you can use a pegboard like this from Ikea. Or just straight up use small wall shelves.

Hope this helps.


Edit: I recommend storing your blenders in this to keep them clean, but I would make sure they dry first or you can stick something small to keep the lid slightly open.

Hey, I know I'm late to this thread, but I only just now discovered this subreddit. I'm an American having the same problem, about to buy some stuff to organize and store several thousand loose LEGO pieces of various types. I too read the sorting and storage guide and, while it was great in general, its suggestions for divided drawers weren't useful (because they were all exclusive to the UK).

Anyway, I did some searching around, and I settled on some modular clear drawer organizers, to be inserted into some plastic drawers. It's more expensive than divided drawers, but I think it's more practical too, because you can take out each organizer cup, dump out its contents, put it back, etc., without disturbing the rest of the drawer's contents.

First the drawers, then the organizers.

I narrowed down my drawer choices to two options:

1. IRIS Medium 10-Drawer Cart with Organizer Top, Black, and
   
2. Sterilite 20938003 Wide 3 Drawer Unit, White Frame with Clear Drawers, 3-Pack
   
   The IRIS drawers have a useable interior space of about 2.5" high x 9.5" wide x 12.5" long.
   
   The Sterilite wide drawers have a useable interior space of about 2.5" high x 12.5" wide x 12.5" long.
   
   I like that the IRIS has casters, in case you want to store in one place but then wheel them around to somewhere else to build.
   
   I like that the Sterilite is more modular, in that you can stack as many or as few of the three-drawer units on top of each other as you want.
   
   In the end, I decided to go all in with Sterilite, first because the drawers are wider and a little shallower (deeper and narrower drawers are worse than shallower wider drawers, because pieces get buried underneath others, and it's hard to find them), and second because the modularity makes them more flexible. I can put them on shelves, for example. And if I ever need to roll them around (store in one room, build in another), I can always get a dolly, like this one, for example, which will fit two Sterilite units side by side. Also, the IRIS drawers came cracked from amazon, because there wasn't enough padding in the box.
   
   
   Now for the drawer organizers. I decided to go with STORi, which makes makeup organizers. They have a great modular system of clear acrylic cups, all 2" high, with width and length measurements that increase in increments of 3". So:
   
   

• 3" x 3"
  
• 6" x 3"
  
• 9" x 3"
  
• 12" x 3"
  
• 6" x 6"
  
  They stack inside each other as well. And they fit perfectly into both the IRIS and Sterilite drawers, in each case leaving about half an inch along both dimensions, which makes it really easy to lift one out without having to fuss. (I tried to upload a photo to imgur, but it's being fussy. If you're really curious let me know and I can try again.)
  
  Hope this helps!
