Best bathroom sink vanity trays according to redditors

So since these things are all over Amazon, I figured I'd review the one I got.

It was packaged really well; in sealed shrinkwrap, baby bubble wrap, big bubble wrap, and then in a nice form-fitting box. So even though the dimensions are listed, and I have a tape measure, I have to say it seems so small in person! But my entire makeup collection fit (except for some of the palettes that were too tall to fit in the palette holder, which is fine since I ran out of slots anyway).

The boxes are not connected, so you can organize them however you want, including the top part (with the foundations in it). Also, each cubby can accommodate either one big drawer or three small drawers, so you can mix and match those too. Each box has two cubbies, for either two large drawer, six small drawers, or half and half, and the boxes have little rubber feeties on the bottom so that they don't scuff each other, or the shelf you store them on. They also came with pre-cut black mesh liners, which I thought was nice (I can take a picture of one if you'd like to see).

If anyone is thinking about buying one of these and would like to see specific pictures of any part, let me know! There are a ton of sellers, but I tried to pick one with a bunch of reviews (that fakespot didn't flag as suspicious). Overall I'm really pleased with it! I was concerned with the size at first, but it's compact and efficient; I actually didn't end up using one of the small drawers, and several of them are sparsely packed.

These are a flimsier plastic than some of the other organizers here. But they do serve their purpose. They have little handles which makes it easy to remove them from the lower shelves of my vanity. They are 12" long which makes them too long to fit the short way on my cart.
Overall would mostly likely repurchase

This is a nice heavy duty plastic. It is fairly tall which I like for my foundation bottles, primer bottles, and taller makeup items. It helps them not to tip or rattle around.
Would repurchase.


https://www.amazon.com/Vencer-Acrylic-Compact-Organizer-Powders/dp/B01AEBVRZ6/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?keywords=vencer+acrylic+makeup+organizer&qid=1566731366&s=gateway&sprefix=vencer&sr=8-3

These are a heavy duty plastic. Some of my compacts are too wide or too tall to fit. For example my Hourglass powders have to go in corner first. And my Bare Minerals powders don't fit at all.
Would repurchase.

This is a basic palette organizer. Not super sturdy but it serves its purpose. My thickest palette is a PM mothership, thinnest would be a Viseart.
Both sit nicely.
Would repurchase.

This is a sturdy brush/pencil holder. I have face brushes, then pencils, then eye brushes. It doesn't seem like it would tip easily, however, it feels crowded. Like the pencils and brushes lean into the other compartments. I would look around for separate cups next time.

The lipstick holders I previously had. There are so many on the market and they seem to be all the same for the most part. I would probably consider getting a gloss one too which helps the taller tubes not to tip.

My favorite thing tho....the clear Mac bullet top. 10/10 for sure!

Two little organizers both from Amazon! We'll see how long my being nice and organized lasts.

Drawer Set - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DUJEWDE/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I get them from amazon! I have this one & this one.

I have two sets of Alex drawers (the tall ones) and one is basically eyeshadow all the way down. It’s kind of ridiculous and I don’t really like the drawers (I wish they opened all the way, I can never get to stuff in the back). If you aren’t planning to buy more palettes, maybe just display it on top? You could also get an acrylic palette organizer that looks like this maybe?

This is the palette divider

This is the one I use to separate brushes!

Both on amazon. The brush one has a back storage area where I put like blush palettes or whatever doesn’t fit in the other organizers.

The palette one is adjustable, so you can remove dividers to put more in one area.

Edit: Link for palette organizer

I got these three -
[Acrylic with drawers] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004KKXA58/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1), Acrylic lipstick storage (you can get this one a few bucks cheaper from another seller if you don't mind waiting for shipping), and this acrylic organizer

Here's a (maybe not too great) picture of them on my shelf! photo

If you have Amazon Prime you can get free 2 day shipping. I purchased all three for a total of $47.58 so a huge saving over buying just one original beauty box.

They're all sturdy thick (but not TOO thick) plastic. No fogginess or scratches on the surface or anything!

It’s technically for nail polish but it works just fine with 30 ML vape juice bottles. Even the 100 ML can fit well on the open top one.

Liquid Lipstick Organizer

Bullet Lipstick Organizer

Palette Organizer

Compact Organizer

Makeup Brush and Sponge Organizer

Tray Organizer

The acrylic organizers I found on amazon are here and here.

I detail where I found other organizational items in the captions but most of my storage came from Wal-Mart, Dollar General, At Home, or Amazon. I don't think any organizer I have was over $22. In case you can't see the captions I'll list my descriptions.

(1)Is just an overview of my collection, my desk is pretty old and heavy but I want to make it look less ugly.

(2)This container Is from Wal-Mart. I found a similar on on their website but I only paid $10 for this one.

(3)With a pack of organizers I found at Dollar General I separated some lip products by miscellaneous sizes and brands, lip liners and other tall lip products, and then one section that's all WNW Catsuits and bullet lipsticks.

(4)This one has been decluttered recently, I got rid of my WNW shadows since I don't use them so this one looks more bare than others. I keep my Colourpop SS shadows in the smaller containers as well as my ABH Dipbrow Pomade and MAC's Painterly Paint pot. The rest is random mini mascaras, single shadows, a Colorpop SS that's drying out, and a super old Avon quad from 2007 and single shadow of my moms from the early 2000's or late 90s.

(5)Here I separated blushes with the square organizer the set came with becasue I have more blushes than anything and there was a perfect amount of space to store my highlighters in the front, and then my pressed powders and bronzers to the side.

(6)I couldn't find this exact organizer but I got it from At Home. It just perfectly fits some everyday products and lipsticks.

(7) I've been looking for something like this for YEARS. I found this on Amazon and I'll link it in the comment section. Previously I had stored all my palettes in the top drawer of the drawers and had lip products all over my desk. It holds all my palettes, eye brushes, and then a smaller spot for sponges and my eyelash curler. I keep my sponge in this lil jack-o-lantern I got as a gift.

(8)Lastly I have this organizer I also found on Amazon. It's just a five compartment acrylic thing that holds face products, liquid lipsticks, and brushes. I keep my dirty brushes in a Kentucky Derby cup form my birth year.

I use a plastic bathroom orgainzer, like this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001B11ZV0/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_apa_i_srCZDbK2GYD52

I think mine is a little bigger than that with a bunch of different sized sections. I bought it at the grocery store, and it holds all my pens, pencils, markers, stencils, rulers, erasers, etc.

The Container Store!! Bonus: It was less than $20. This one on Amazon is very similar. :)

If money isn't an object, id get a table or more likely shelf custom ordered, or make your own. Talk to a local woodworker tell em what you want.

Little divots for 30ml, 60ml, 120ml+. Layered shelving so you can see the labels of the flavorings.

Plus a couple drawers for empty bottle storage, steeping, etc.


I mean, that'd be the dream. Custom build DIY ejuice table.

But more frugally, this is what I use

Or this

It's all up to you though man....how much storage you need, what you already have, etc.

Good luck man! Sounds like fun ordering entire TFA and almost entirely CAP line! Keep me updated on what you get for organization and some of your recipes!

For your brushes, either an acrylic org like this, https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001B11ZV0/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

or something more colorful like this

These are amazing. I have a few other organizers in my drawers from amazon as well for pigments, blushes, lipsticks, etc.

Got them from both Marshall's and amazon.
