My collection is a disaster. I never quite unpacked it and there is stuff all over the freaking place. I do my makeup in my bathroom (bad I know) which is down the hall from the room that I want to store it since there's no proper room in our bedroom and we still haven't even bought a dresser yet (and I want to redo the closet)... anyway.... wahh!
Something less sturdy, cheaper and easier to put together (and hopefully not as... ahem... colorful?)
If only I weren't indecisive and if only I didn't want something that both looked good and didn't break the bank.
How do you store your makeup?

have you looked at the alex from IKEA? "slightly" cheaper!
I have a 10-drawer storage system exactly like the second picture, but not in color, and only one set of the 10 drawers. I got it from Sam's Club for $30!! =]
I HIGHLY recommend the Ikea Alex mentioned above... on the expensive side and truly a pain to put together, but it only takes 30 minutes and you'll thank yourself later. It's classy looking (as far as cheap furniture goes) and a great size. I had some Helmer drawer units before and I'm so glad I got rid of them... the drawers flopped out all the time because they weren't on runners, whereas the Alex drawers glide easily. Little things like that make a difference to me.
Bonus: the bottom 3 drawers of the Alex unit are tall enough to store nail polish!
I have something very similar to what you have, but I also have a couple trays in my bathroom drawers. There I can store things like nail polish. Trays can be really cute, and especially if you paint them, they can be really funky.
@jbrobech @MLBB: Ok now I need an Alex! Now to drag DH to IKEA and finagle him to put it together!
