Makeup Hoarders Will Love These Organizers

I'll admit that I have hoarding tendencies. But it's the worst with makeup. For me, there's no such thing as "too much," and I've continually had to upgrade my storage situation because of this mindset. And when it gets to a certain point, office organizers are the best solution to house large makeup collections. If you too have a makeup collection that requires more room than a standard makeup bag, it's so important to keep it organized.

Obviously, an organized collection will help you see and keep track of all of your products. But there are a couple of other reasons to stay organized. For one thing, if you're a creature of habit, being able to more easily access every part of your collection means that you might not forget to use all of your products (instead of continually passing over that one gem that got buried at the bottom of your bag). In addition to actually remembering to use all of your products, staying organized will also help you keep track of when your makeup expires. No more wondering when the last time you saw a certain product was, or if it's still OK to use. Plus, not to be an enabler or anything, but when you can clearly see what all you have in your collection, you can better tell where the holes are. Because yes, if you have a pink blush and a peach blush, you still totally need that peachy-pink blush. So here are the nine best office organizers to store all of them in.

1. Wood Drawers
