What do you use to organize your BE products??

[steph6766]

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to organize all the BE makeup. I try to keep all my Today Specials in their original box and I usually keep all my eye and cheek color collections together in a drawer, but I'm running out of room and sometimes it's hard to locate a color in a hurry. Does anyone have any suggestions for organization. Leslie should come out with a giant train case for all of us BE addicts.

Steph, it's a problem alright. The first thing I did, was to make little labels to put onto the tops of my jars. I got tired of flipping them over to see what the color was. I keep them in my vanity drawer and I can just reach in by seeing what they are now. Also, I rotate depending on the season. I don't wear the same colors all year long (with some exceptions), so that automatically makes room.

Thanks, Novalee. That's a good idea. I think I will store away all my fall/winter colors until September. Thanks for the info!

Did anyone see Leslie's BE infomercial hosted by one of the old QVC hosts (she kind of reminds me of JRT, but it isn't her)? There's a lady on it who has a zillion BE products & she shows how she keeps them organized in a large train case. I was on the BE website BB & saw that train case mentioned, who makes it & where to buy it, but I don't remember the specifics. You might try that - good luck!

I did see that informercial and I saw the train case. But I've never found one in the market like it. Maybe Sephora has some. I will check the next time I'm at one of the stores.

The traincase that the lady has on the BE commercial where she refers to it as her "tiny museum of color" is available on yazmo.com.


I use the Lori Grenier cosmetic organizer. Although you cannot get all of your make up in there. No way, no how. Apparently they didn't use us as guinea pigs for this marvy invention. Sure wish they would introduce different colors.

Novalee, I like the label idea. I usually turn pod upside down then when I open the cap, I have too much mineral on top.

BR, it works great for me. I'm with you, flipping them puts way too much product into the lids, then when you put the lid back on, it always makes some mess. This has cut down on that so much.

I don't have a lot of BE, a few foundations, a blush, liner and 2 shadows. I didnt like the lastest AD so I sent it back.

But what little I do have.....it is messy messy messy!! And I think this is what turned me off about BE!!

It is messy, messy, messy -- but I use it. I keep mine in separate baggies...

I store mine upside down, then when I want to use one I turn it upright, tap it a few times with the handle of a brush and most of it falls right back down into the pot, leaving just about the perfect amount stuck to the lid.

Although I do have to say, when I first starting "tapping" in the bathroom my husband had to come investigate--we are after all products of the 70's and that tap tap tap had a familiar ring to it--not sure if he was relieved or a little disappointed to discover my powder of choice is just Mineral Veil.

Too funny about the powder, Curvigirl!

Curvigirl...LOL!
