In Norway, and perhaps Scandinavia in general, we don't have vanity tables. That's always been a funny American phenomenon for us.I guess we are not supposed to care so much for makeup that we go out and purchase a piece of furniture to hold something that is superficial like makeup..
Funny thing is, as much as we could all use a vanity table and it being an ancient way of thinking, I think we still feel embarrassed to admit that all our makeup doesn't fit into one little makeup bag.
In my family they know my makeup doesn't fit into a makeup bag, because they see it floating around everywhere. And it's an annoying thing to everyone, including myself.
So, having read MacGal74's blog on how she stores her makeup, I have decided to get the same one (in the picture). It's IKEA's Malm dresser. Nice, neutral and doesn't take up a lot of space.

Hi Michelle, thanks so much for following me!
I might have to get this myself!
That dresser is very pretty!
I 'm having my eyes set on this one or the Vinstra Vanity Table.... :)

Hi Michelle :)
Isn't this great? I really like it! I thought I'd get lots of smaller plastic boxes to get my makeup organized in every drawer.:)
Hi Tina :)
I just googled the Vinstra one. It looks really cute aswell. Thank God for IKEA right? ;)
I could easily have my whole furniture from IKEA with a few added vintage/handmade bits and pieces... :)

Hey aweome…..yea it’s a little embarrassing that I have this much makeup but honestly I love this item from ikea…
My bathroom is big enough that I can place this inside, at my old home it was outside the door…
If you have the extra room the MALM dressing table is nice as well….Cant wait to see how you organize!!

We shouldn't be embarrassed that we have this makeup! Seriously. We could have collected all kinds of other crazy stuff lol This makes us feel pretty so we deserve it :)
Yours looks so beautiful! Love the brown wooden color, but since we already have two big white Malm ones in the bedroom (where this will be I guess..) then white it is. I would love to have this in our tiny bathroom, but I'm scared the humidity in there will ruin it :(
Have you seen the Helmer (also from IKEA)? I need one of these but no IKEA around me :-(
Flott tips!! Tenk, jeg visste ikke at det finnes egne møbler for sånt engang, jeg. Men du kan tro jeg trenger det! Så nå har jeg like godt vært på IKEA og kjøpte meg en slik skuffeseksjon. Alle tiders! Har blogget om det (og henvist til ditt innlegg) her:
Den store kosmetikkorganiseringshelgen!
:-)
yes yes yes;);) tusen takk for at du lagde dette innlegget! Akurat hva jeg har letet etter;););) *IKEA here I come*
Så bra!! :) Det er bare så utrolig digg å ha all sminken sin på ett sted og få det organisert.
:)
Jeg kjøpte den kommoden i svart i august :D
De to øverste skuffene er perfekte for eyelinere, mascara osv og leppestifter og lipglosser ^^
