If you wear makeup, you probably have a designated makeup area. Whether it's in the bathroom or the bedroom, you have a place to put on makeup, dry your hair, and take care of yourself (affiliate). But, how organized is your bathroom vanity area, and is all your stuff in one place?

I love my vanity. Feel free to visit my post on how I made my vanity area. It is a vanity that fits right in an alcove in my bathroom. And, to top it off, I have a plush chair (affiliate) to sit on. I'm a happy girl! However, I noticed when I am with my clients; they struggle with what to put in their vanity area. Below is a list of seven general items in my vanity area.

Remember having all your items in one place will help you save time in the morning and save money at the store, helping you not buy duplicate items.

7 Essential Things to Store in the Bathroom Vanity

Make–up products, make-up brushes, cotton swabs, and anything you use to get ready in the morning go in this area.

Replace the make-up products that are more than 6 months old. If you use makeup brushes, clean the brushes often to cut bacteria and other germs out of your space.

Hairbrushes and combs

Clean your brushes once a month by taking a comb and running it through the bristles of the brushes.

Hairdryer, curling iron, and straightening iron

Clear out the hairdryer vent on the dryer, it will collect dust easily and will overheat the dryer when clogged. Below are some examples of products to organize these items.

Hairstyling products and hair accessories

If a hair product doesn’t work for you, before buying a new one, consider giving or tossing the old one. Don't keep all the products you are not using. It may work for someone else.

Nail Clippers and Nail polish products in a drawer or storage container nearby.

Go through the nail polish and discard any that has dried out. Feel free to visit our NAIL CARE SUPPLIES ORGANIZATION TIPS MADE EASY DIY post.

Perfumes

Give away any perfumes that you no longer use. Select one area specifically for this purpose; you can display the perfume bottles on a tray or tuck them away in a cabinet. Below are some examples of places where you can store your collection of perfumes.

Have a place for your Oils, Creams, and lotions that you use regularly.

Having a vanity mirror with storage above your sink or vanity is a great way to add more storage space to your vanity area.

Essential Items to Keep in a Bathroom Vanity

Most of all, keep your bathroom vanity clear so you have a surface area to spread out. Decorative bins with lids make the space look feminine and still functional. Label (affiliate) each bin with the group name for easy reference.

Whatever you decide to store in your vanity, ensure that it is only items you use regularly and need at your fingertips. This space is for you and you deserve it!
