The clear makeup organiser: featured hundreds of times in the most glamorous beauty stations on the net, it’s a very useful tool to keep all our makeup well organised.
I gave in, I bought the right makeup organiser and I was right! Finding the perfect lipstick display wasn’t that easy.
But, did I really need one? Is it a good investment and, most importantly, where to find it at the right price? I’ll show you where I’ve found mine…

Makeup organisers, Why?
How many times, because of the morning rush, we can’t find a silly lip balm and we end up forgetting it?
If everything isn’t in the right place, we lose things and precious time in order to find them back. Lipstick displays come in handy and sound great for very busy and messy people or make-up junkies.

I searched in vain for a decent-in-size, sturdy and fair-priced make-up organiser. No one in shops, beauty corners and Flying Tiger stores had these features and I opted for a cheap DIY solution. I’ve been using some empty cotton buds boxes for quite some time. They are practical to store small eye palettes and eyeshadow pots but they are uncomfortable to hold lipsticks and lipglosses because they keep falling continuously when you try to grab one. Then, I found my lipstick display on e-bay. Joy to the world!!!
The Perfect Lipstick Display/Makeup Organiser: product & packaging
My lipstick organiser is a rectangular (19×11,7×8/7,4cm) and solid clear box with 40 compartments, where each lipstick slot measures about 2,50cm per side. The free shipping and its low price, less than 5 €, convinced me to give it a try.
DIY Storage Solutions vs The Lipstick/Makeup Organiser
Where to buy makeup organisers
The answer is as simple as eBay.
What this makeup organiser can hold
Is it just for lipsticks? All those makeup items with a pen, stick and tube packaging can take their own place in this lipstick display. Your lip balms, lipsticks, lipglosses and pencils; however, lip colours with larger or squared sticks can’t fit in the slots of this kind of organiser.
The good note is that this display can easily hold other products for face and eyes and even some purse-version scents: mascaras, pen highlighters and concealers, eyes and spots treatments and eyeliners, exactly like my Maybelline Master Inks peeping out behind my eye cream.
Having everything tidy and in order is extremely important for me to be always timely prepared and have everything at my fingertips, so my question for you is: do you prefer DIY solutions or makeup organisers for your make-up?
