Don’t wait to be buried by the sheer amount of clutter in your beauty cabinet! Organising your vanity cabinet or desk doesn’t have to be a mammoth task, either – tackle it chunk by chunk until you get through everything. Here are some tips to make the journey even simpler:
Declutter first
To make the task less of a hassle to tackle, bin the products you aren’t using anymore. Remember to check the expiration dates, too – using expired cosmetics can cause skin irritation and bacterial infections, so be careful.
Organise according to category
Gone are the days of chucking your skincare, makeup and haircare all together in one unit. Take the time to sort through your products and organise them according to category: skincare, makeup, haircare, and body care.

Get yourself a bunch of clear containers
Instead of packing your products away into cosmetic bags and having to rummage through each bag to spot what you’re looking for, make life simpler for yourself by investing in a few clear organizers to easily see and access your products. Pep Home has a range of stunning plastic organisers for a bargain!
We love a Lazy Susan
Lazy Susans are super efficient for organising your cosmetics as they rotate, making it easier for you to grab something you need instead of rummaging through a drawer and messing up the organisation of the rest of your products in the process. Find a plastic Lazy Susan from Pep Home, or go for a ceramic vibe, like this one from Poetry.
Organise according to your routine
If you’ve got a fleshed-out beauty routine, make life easier for yourself by organising your products according to your routine. If you’ve got an AM and PM routine, organise those products in two groups. Or, group together all your cleansers, toners, serums, and moisturizers so they’re all neat and ready to be grabbed whenever you need them.

Label it!
Who needs an excuse to label things? Labeling levels up your organisation. While you might automatically remember where your products are stored, it may not be as easy for other members of the household, or for guests who aren’t familiar with your setup. Adding labels to your organisation drawers will fix this issue in a heartbeat.
Store brushes vertically
Don’t chuck your makeup brushes into a bag and call it a day! Rather, invest in a pretty pen pot or ceramic holder that can store your brushes vertically. This will prevent your brushes from bending and picking up dirt.
Keep go-to’s at eye level
If you’re anything like us, you may have an abundance of products that you don’t use as often as others, or that you plan on using after your current go-to finishes. For the sake of ease, place daily-use items at eye level and occasional items on higher or lower shelves and swap out as you go.
