WHEW!! What I have on my counter....

 

I need to move or reno my bathroom!  I'm 67, skin normal-dry, various medical issues, meds.  This is my stash, BUT I have another in my vanity drawers, and another in my closet(S)!!

 

I have on my counter as of now and it's getting ridiculous.... I keep saying I'm going to pare down!

 

*Tatcha- Dewy line; Day Cream, eye cream, Rice Polish,  Serum sticks, and Ageless Eye and Night cream(love this) Essence, Camellia Oil, Liquid & Solid Canvas Primer. 

 

* Sunday Riley- CEO Glow Oil, Vit C lotion, Good Genes, Luna Serum, A+ Serum.

 

*Skinn- Age Reset Eye and Facial products, Dermapeel, Luminous Manuka line Cream and Oil, Algae Oil, Ayurvedic Oil

 

 

*Dr. Denese- (mostly use the pads and Hydrogel; I bought the gorgeous Copper Glitterish kit containing those plus Dream Cream), I'd like to try her tinted Day Cream.

 

Dr Kaplan -Diamond 1 min Facial and Retin and Retin nighttime cream, which I rarely use, but when I did I liked it.

 

I have cute containers that hold items; I'm sure there are other lines under the ones on top I reach for....

 

I keep saying just use one line and be done with it! However, there are products from a few lines I like.

 

I'm not going to mention the ones I have put away

" just in case there's an urgent need I haven't had in 6 years" to use them again"🙄😸

@skittles2   Wow this IS a counter full of products!!! It's not for me to say, but there must be some things you don't use on a regular every day basis. maybe those can be put away until you need them.

 

*I see Vit.C, Retin A and peel/acid pads that may be irritating togther.

Re: WHEW!! What I have on my counter....

We renovated the main bathroom two years ago and it looks so beautiful now that I try to keep it looking clean & tidy.

 

I try not to keep stuff on my bathroom counter.  I like a clutter free look. The only items that I keep up on the counter are tissues, soap and toothbrushes.

 

What I do is store my everyday makeup in a large acrylic tray with dividers & sections under the sink in a drawer.  I lift it out to use and put it back when I'm done.

 

As for skin & hair care I keep those items inside my large mirrored cabinets over the sink.  They are deep enough to hold large bottles and there is a lot of space for many items. 

 

I like having large mirrored cabinets over the sinks rather than just a mirror on the wall.  I also had them recessed into the wall so they don't stick out.

 

I keep extra and back up items in a cabinet that DH built that hangs over the toilet and more items under the sinks in drawers. Hair brushes are stored in a large basket under the sink and I have another basket for hair appliances.

 

I do find it necessary to thin out the stash from time to time.

I do not keep all that on the counters.  I have a place for everything.  I'm not much for clutter.

 I have this for my makeup (and a drawer for my skincare) and it's the best thing I've ever done for my makeup.  They make a 2 tier version too.  I bought mine on Amazon.  WM had one but it was flimsy.  I have taken a close up photo of it so you can see the acrylic bins I have placed in the tiers.  I can organize the products by type.  The middle level has a much larger bin for e/s palettes as well as some like the ones I'm showing.  I have two closets in my bathroom and one of them is large enough that I can roll the cart in the closet when I'm not using it.  And a photo of the whole cart.  I bet  the two tier would work for most people for their skincare and makeup.

Mine is not that impressive but I have a smaller version with four drawers.  @JudyL  All of my makeup fits in it and is easy to access.

Re: WHEW!! What I have on my counter....

My makeup & brushes fit in a Lug Trolley cosmetic case...and the biggest compartment where I keep makeup-in-use is half empty! I now have one eyeshadow palette (also used as eyeliner), one blush, one highlighter, one mascara, one brow pencil, one lipstain and one foundation in it. It lives under my sink, along with my blowdryer, etc. (rarely used since I got a short cut).

 

I have a 3-tiered basket on my countertop--holds frequently used things like hair products (gel, leave-in spray conditioner, shine spray), deodorant, lip balm, 2 moisturizers, Dr. Denese Tinted Day Cream--used as my "everyday" foundation, moisturizing face spray.and a couple other things. 

 

The basket keeps things in check, but easy to reach every day.

Re: WHEW!! What I have on my counter....

Last year made the decision to wear less makeup use less skin care buying less in all areas of my life. By doing so my life is better than ever before. Savings on time, money any regret for impulsive spending money unnecessarily. Keeping it simple. 💞
