00:00This makeup brush cleaner is so old, it's probably like, I think I got it in my first internship.
00:06So over four years ago.
00:08Hey guys, it's Mian, and this is Beauty With Me.
00:11Last month, I took my bathroom from green, dimly lit hellscape to what is as close to a spa as
00:18I could possibly get it.
00:19And after seeing all of your comments, I decided to finally take a stab at my at-home beauty collection,
00:25which lives in a room in my apartment that has essentially become a giant closet.
00:31This video, though, is a little bit different for Beauty With Me.
00:34It's a two-parter.
00:35So this video, I'm going to show you guys my entire beauty collection, organizing it, getting it into a better
00:41situation.
00:42And then next week for part two, I'm going to turn this space into a functional room where I can
00:49edit, film my videos, have my beauty collection.
00:52Okay, so before we get started, let me show you what my stash currently looks like.
00:58So I have an Ikea Alex drawer.
01:00It's a nine-unit drawer.
01:01It holds a ton of stuff.
01:03It's very sleek.
01:04So on the top lives my giant, simple human mirror.
01:08And then resting on the top of the Alex drawer, there is a small acrylic tray that has all of
01:14my daily skincare.
01:14The first drawer has what was supposed to be like my daily go-tos.
01:20It's essentially become a dumping ground.
01:22Below is my drawer full of highlighters, bronzers, and blushes.
01:26Loosely edited.
01:26It definitely could be in better shape.
01:28The next two drawers is dedicated to my eye products.
01:31So that's my eyeshadow palettes, my single shadows, my creams, my eyeliners, my liquids, all that stuff.
01:37As you can see, it's kind of a mess right now.
01:39My goal is to get it into a place where it's like organized by category.
01:43Next up is lipsticks and base products, which is kind of organized.
01:46It's basically separated by two sections.
01:49Foundations on the right, lipsticks on the left.
01:51The next two drawers are dedicated to my extras.
01:54So this is stuff that I love, love, love, love, love, but I'm currently using stuff so I don't want
01:57to put it onto my daily skincare shelf quite yet.
01:59It's also a place for me to keep all of the stuff that I want to try in the coming
02:04months.
02:04The second to last drawer has my travel makeup cases in it, all of my little sample size travel products
02:10that I keep for when I go on like quick trips.
02:11And then the last drawer has all of my face wipes and all of my tools that I use when
02:16I clean my brushes.
02:17All right, now that you've seen everything, let's move on to step one, which is cleaning.
02:21So after removing all of the product from the drawers onto the floor, I took some wipes and wiped out
02:29the entire Alex unit, including the trays that were inside it.
02:33I was surprised at how gross this was.
02:36I had the unit for, what, a year?
02:38There was a lot of like dust and gunk.
02:40Skincare products had kind of like leaked eyeshadows that had exploded in my drawer.
02:45So it was nice to give it like a good once-over before organizing it and putting it back in.
02:50Then it was time for step two, decluttering.
02:53So I enlisted the help of my producer, Magel.
02:56Yay!
02:57Magel's here for moral guidance.
03:00We sat on the floor and organized like everything on the floor into little sections so that I could clearly
03:05see what I had in my stash so that we could start organizing it.
03:09We kind of split up the product into three sections.
03:12So stuff that I was keeping, stuff that I had to throw away for whatever reason.
03:16I don't know, some of them were expired, some of them were just straight-up broken.
03:20Ah!
03:22It broke.
03:24And then the last section was stuff that I'm going to be giving away to my friends and family.
03:29Hand them to me so you don't somehow shatter stuff in there.
03:32You're right.
03:33Oh, this one is.
03:34Ah!
03:36Is it dying?
03:37It's dying.
03:38This one's almost done.
03:39I'm determined to use it all.
03:41Please hand them to me.
03:43Oh.
03:46Okay.
03:48Once everything was sorted into those categories, it was time to move on to step three, organizing.
03:54So I got these cute little acrylic trays from Amazon.
03:57These acrylic organizers that I got have a couple different sizes.
04:02Large size.
04:03This kind of like medium like pencil size.
04:05And then two kind of smaller sizes that I think will be good for like little knick-knacks.
04:13And then things like the bombs, nail polishes.
04:16Oh look away.
04:17Can I fix that for you real quick?
04:19Yeah, sure.
04:27It looks the same!
04:30What does it?
04:32How is it rainbow now?
04:40So I kind of changed up the order of my drawers this time.
04:45The top of my unit is going to be the same.
04:47It's going to have my skincare, my mirror, my brushes.
04:52The first drawer, instead of being like this random drawer full of my go-to stuff, I'm dedicating
04:58that all to foundations, concealers, and powders.
05:02The second drawer has the bronzers, the highlighters, and the blushes.
05:07The next drawer is where my eyeshadow palettes and then my cream and glitter eyeshadow pots live.
05:14Then the next drawer is more eye product, also single eyeshadows and eyeliners.
05:19But more of the stuff that comes in crayons or in tubes that have doe foots, like organized that way.
05:24And next up is an entire drawer dedicated to lip product.
05:28So, as you saw in my last setup, I basically just had one tray full of lipstick.
05:33Now, there are like little sections dedicated to different finishes and colors, which is a lot easier.
05:40The next few drawers are kind of dedicated to stuff that I'm holding onto, like for my mom or my
05:45sister, like extra storage.
05:47Not every drawer has like a bunch of stuff in it.
05:49That really was the goal, trying to get it to a place where I could still have more stuff coming
05:53in,
05:54but hopefully I'm still editing it out.
05:56Then I have an entire drawer dedicated to all of my skincare and my haircare extras,
06:01like stuff that I want to try down the line,
06:04stuff that I love, that I want to keep for when I finish up what I'm currently using.
06:08And the last drawer is dedicated to my wipes, my travel, like skincare and makeup,
06:12and then my brush cleaning kits.
06:15Beside the Alex unit, I actually went to Ikea, got a couple of baskets.
06:20Before all of this, I was keeping my giveaway stuff and then my empties in like plastic and paper bags
06:26on the floor,
06:27and it looked hideous.
06:28So, I took the baskets, I put the bags full of the empties and the giveaway stuff into the basket,
06:34so it doesn't look like I just have trash on the ground.
06:39I think it looks a lot better.
06:41Okay, so that is it.
06:43My entire beauty storage situation.
06:46I personally really like it.
06:48I've been using it for a couple of weeks.
06:49I think it's much more organized.
06:50I feel like I have a lot more mental space to think about what I want to do with my
06:54looks because my stash is more organized
06:56and I'm not like sifting through stuff just to find like one color of eyeliner.
07:01So, I hope that you guys enjoyed this video.
07:03Stay tuned for next week when we show like the entire like transformation of the room.
07:07I'm gonna paint the walls.
07:09I'm gonna get a desk.
07:11It's gonna be a whole thing.
07:13Please let me know in the comments below what your like favorite organizational hacks are.
07:17I am not a very organized person, so I need all the help I can get.
07:21See you guys next week.
07:22Bye!
