how you girls keep your daily skin care and body care stuff neat and tidy? i've heard about cosmetic organizers but nothing for skincare! 
my dressing table is a mess - skin care, make up and body care! And i don't have THAT much.. at least i don't think so 
i don't have a problem with the cosmetics but myskincare and body care is overflowing! |

I'm embarassed to admit this but I have so many hair care and skin care products that my bathroom counters and drawers were a mess. I finally broke down and bought one of those rolling carts that hairdressers store all their stuff on and it has helped tremendously. The little pull-out drawers store all my bottles and jars of skin care goodies as well as a lot of my makeup and brushes. There are cubbies on the side to hold tall bottles of hair care products and I keep my hair dryer, flat iron, and curling iron on top of the cart.
My only regret is that I bought a cheap one and now the side cubbies have detached due to all those heavy bottles of hair stuff. I will probably upgrade to a nicer one sometime in the future. |

A great solution. I had to choose a low model for it to fit under the sink so I bought two. I love them, but I think the higher models are a lot more practical for storage. At least that's what I tell myself when looking at all the products that are still spread across the bathroom...  |

| to start with I have a 20 drawer organizer that stands about 3 ft tall I bought at costco.I use that to organize;teeth stuff in one;most used daily makeup in another;night stuff in another etc....AND I still have several cabinets in the bathroom filled up! Luckily I do not have to share the bathroom with anybody! |

| just a thought cosmetic organizers are never big enough for us cosmetic junkies,so the $30 dollar organizer from costco was perfect because it is actually for office or hobbies,which I geuss my skin care stuff is a hobby! |

| well said Lucylu, I guess I fall into that category of being a collector. Some people collect coins or stamps. We collect skincare I knew I had a great hobby ( expensive though). |

| Over the door plastic see through shoe bags work great for curling irons/brushes, shampoo, conditioner, other tall containers. It works for small stuff as well. |

This is a great idea! And this way you can see everything. I use one of those plastic storage dressers with the little drawers, but I forget about the stuff that is pushed to the back of the drawers, or I don't bother to pull the front stuff out to get to the back stuff.

Who said my stash is neat and tidy? I have a shelf full of stuff, I can't find anything and I keep forgetting about what I have! |

I have a rule that if it doesn't fit in my cabinet and I haven't used it lately, out it goes to my sister or MakeUpAlley.
You're so right: once your stuff reaches critical mass, you don't even know what you have anymore! |

| I have stages of use. Things I use every day are in my shower or medicine cabinet. Then things I don't (like masques and specialized treatents) use every week are in a cabinet over my toilet (a really useful storage space). Everything else is in the linen closet in a bin and if I haven't looked at it in a year, I clean it out annually and give it to friends and cousins who might use them. Almost all of it seems to be related to Clinique GWP stuff. I am such a sucker for a sale! |

| Its so great to know that I am not the only one out there with bins of stuff. I have a shower caddy full of stuff, then a huge drawer in my bathroom, and another 2 drawers in the bedroom. Then the linen closet too. |
