Girly Obsessed: New Vanity & Organization

Since I moved into this apartment in August of last year, I was using a huge computer desk as my vanity. All of my makeup, though in sterilite drawers, was vulnerable to little hands.


My favorite NYX lippie

So, I decided it was past time to change that. I had another, smaller desk that went with a wicker furniture set that I got at a yard sale last year. It is from the 1980s but well taken care of with glass tops. I have shelves that came with the set but turned out to be too cumbersome to use on the desk. So, the unit was moved to sit on top of the dresser. One of the higher shelves houses all of my nail polish & the like as they were vulnerable to those little hands too. I was just waiting for the day I heard glass shattering & would find my fave color all of the hardwoods.

I had been eying the Luxury Deluxe Makeup Organizer by Lori Greiner on QVC for some time, but I couldn't bring myself to pay that much. It retails for $66.00 & that isn't including tax & shipping. So, I was kind of stuck with all of my products in totes & stuck in places to where my little one couldn't get to them. My dad decided to take my girls & I out to enjoy the weather on Sunday & after the girls were good & tired, we decided to get ice cream. One the way to the ice cream shop is one of my favorite places to shop, Liquidations by Lila. I had seen a charging station (I think) there a few weeks prior. I went in not expecting to find the makeup organizer because the store has practically new stuff weekly. But, just by chance, the makeup organizer was there. It is the older, bigger version than what is currently available on the site. But, it was only half the price as what it is on QVC. I scooped it up. It was still in it's original wrappings with about 10 little packets of silica gel still in the compartments. I am very happy that I found it. It has really made a difference in my organization and the little one has yet to figure out how to get it open, and I don't think she will for quite a while. I also can use the drawers on the desk for storage. Since the desk is older, it takes a little elbow grease to get the drawers open and she definitely hasn't figured that out yet.

So, without further adieu...
