I like the magnet idea in the medicine cabinet. AND the fabric Skirt's a great idea as well! Good storage spot.
1Yeah, I really like the magnet idea. But I don't have a medicine cabinet in my bathroom. My sister in law mounted a shelf system on the wall with cute apothecary jars and things. That's functional and stylish.
2Just make sure if you do the shelf system, don't do the glass ones. THAT'S if you're a perfectionist like I am. I use to notice every dust particle, hair string and constantly wash it. I've since then replaced them with white boards.
3My bathroom has a shelf type thing built into the wall and a closet, so I have a lot of storage space, it's just not organized.
4If you want to clean out makeup stuff you don't use (but that isn't old or gross) check out makeupalley.com. I've just started getting into the swap board and am getting all kinds of cool new stuff for my old Lancome gift with purchase stuff that I've never touched.
5Dang, you could be sending it to me! I'd buy your free gifts...!
6LOL!! I have lots of stuff. Go to makeupalley.com and find my swap list. I'll email you. Hang on.
