My Latest Obsession: The Glam Caddy


About a month ago, my boyfriend bought me a Glam Caddy from Bed Bath & Beyond in the hopes that I would finally organize the pile of makeup that was on our sink. It was pretty bad. I literally had everything all mixed up and just thrown all over our humungous sink. I mean, there isn't a lack of space. Granted, I do own a ton of makeup, but there just wasn't an excuse for my disorganization.

Admittedly, it took me a few weeks to attempt to use this thing. I knew it would be a day-long project. I had to clear off the entire sink, separate everything, and figure out what products I used often enough to have in the caddy (since I own so much makeup, I usually rotate what I use each month or so). That alone took forever.

Then, I needed to actually organize the stuff. I was unsure about all the little nooks and crannies, and how my makeup would actually fit in the smaller spaces. Once I started getting on with it, I found that the caddy's design was quite perfect for all types of makeup.

The best feature, to me, is the fact that this amazing creation rotates. Therefore, it takes up less space than a simple, boxy makeup organizer, and it makes it super easy to find the product you're looking for. It's a huge time saver, since I don't have to dig through a ridiculously large pile of crap to find my black liquid liner--something that used to take up to 15 minutes. True story.

I did not take a "before" picture because it was simply too embarrassing. But here's the after pic:








Not bad, right?! I mean, it clearly isn't as perfect-looking as the image the product displays, but I think I did a pretty fab job!

The best part is that the Glam Caddy is very affordable. It's around $30 (though I did happen to find it on clearance for $10, so it's worth checking an actual Bed Bath & Beyond store near you). Either way, it's a small price to pay to have all your makeup in one, convenient place!
