Found great organizer for makeup jars

Posted by lov2garden (My Page) on

I have quite a collection of makeup in jars, mostly bare minerals and jane iredale. I love the stuff but couldn't find anything that would help me keep the jars straight. I found this case online and got it a few weeks ago and it changed my life (at least my mornings and how my little bathroom looks!). The jars fit into slots that hold them on their sides so you can see the colors. When you take one jar out, the others stay in place because the compartments are individualized. When I put the lid on the case, you can't tell what's inside. Now all of my little jars are hidden, organized and dustfree. I found it works for MAC shadows and other jars too. What a relief!

I'm so glad to have all of those little jars under control. When I left them on the edge of the sink my kitty would jump up and knock them on the floor just for fun!

Now it's on sale! I bought one for my mom & aunt for Christmas. They are on QVC all the time and have lots of dusty little jars in their bathrooms. I showed them mine but I think the original price turned them off.

Oh, this looks like a great organizer! I'm so tired of my mineral jars falling to the bottom of daily makeup bag or plastic organizer in vanity.

It's still on sale. Maybe my Christmas present from DH! ;) (Don't need more 'stuff'.) Bummer, their shipping is on the high side ($11 to my zip via UPS ground.) They take coupons I see, but I haven't found any yet. And don't see anything at their site that coupon can't be combined with sale. (Tho coupon might say 'not good with other offers'.) Has anyone successfully found and used a coupon w/the sale price?

Also, has anyone traveled with this yet? It looks large for a suitcase? I have a lot of different jars of mineral makeup but don't wear it regularly. Do take some basics for travel, maybe 2-4 jars max. Seems like it would be a bit much to pack the organizer for a few jars? (If it is too much they should consider making a travel size!)

Moonshadow, They have a fans & friends sale coupon that might help you recoup some of the shipping cost. If you go to Facebook and become a fan, they will send you the code. I think you can also get it if you enter your email address for news updates on their site.

I've traveled with it. It takes up about the same space as a pair of flats. I put the jars I usually use in it and packed the rest of the space with brushes, tweezers & wands. I layed them down across the empty rows.

I hear you on the jars falling to the bottom of the makeup bag. It's worse than digging for keys in your handbag! What we won't do to look good!
