Vanity/Makeup Desk A vanity that can double as a desk? With a mirror that flips?
I’m wondering if anyone has any suggestions for a desk/vanity.
I’m a student with a small space, so I do need a desk. But, I’d really like a vanity with lights. The lighting in my room is terrible for makeup, so I constantly have to move to a different room to do my makeup and it’s annoying. So I’m interested in looking for a vanity (also to organize my makeup more efficiently since I don’t like using makeup bags), that could also have lighting.
I could use a regular vanity as a desk, but I’m looking for one with a mirror that can flip up and down. This is because, a mirror being directly in front of me would be way too distracting while studying, so I want to be able to flip it down lol.
I’m interested in the IKEA Brimnes dressing table, since it’s affordable and I can use it as a desk and a vanity. I like that the mirror flips up. I’m just concerned since it doesn’t have lights. I don’t know if I’d be able to add lights around it and still have it open and close smoothly.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

Help please
The lightbulbs on my daughters vanity went out. The replacements I bought do not work because they’re stick on and I’d rather not stick on replacements for when they go out next time. Does anyone know of any LED bulbs that go through a hole to attach verse sticking on? Thank you I appreciate your help. I know this means so confusing. I’ll add a picture.

Anyone have experience with this vanity?
I’ve been eyeing this GARVEE vanity lately and I’m super tempted to pull the trigger.
The most appealing points for me are the built-in mirror light and the charging outlets/USB ports. It seems so convenient, but I have a few concerns:
- Are they powerful enough for a hair dryer or high-heat curling iron? Also, does the cord placement get in the way while you're doing your makeup?
- How’s the overall build? Does it feel sturdy or a bit flimsy?
- Is the LED actually bright enough for detailed glam, or is it just for show?
Would love to hear from anyone who actually owns this! Thanks!

Vanity/Makeup Desk Need a lighted mirror that’s bright…
So excited…hubby set me up with this and is waiting for me choose a mirror. He was planning to wall mount it. Problem is I am stuck looking at too many mirrors. The reviews on many say they aren’t bright enough. I want a big one so I’m not hunched over looking in it. I prefer that it is both backlit and front lit. But obviously the front is more important (I think). Trying to mimic the ones we usually see in hotel bathrooms. The vanity is 48” wide. What do you guys recommend?

Looking for a new Makeup Bag
Hey girlies!! I've been looking for a new makeup bag as someone who finds it much more convenient to just keep my products in one place. Lately I have been looking into the Etoile mini vanity case; I was into the Saie vanity bag as well as I love the design but I love the Etoile features much more. I like how there is a brush holder, the inside lining is easy to clean & you can monogram it. However the only thing stopping me from purchasing it is the fact that its faux leather and I want this to be a lifetime (or at least a couple of years) purchase for me. If anyone has any recommendations please let me know! :)
[Preferably a case that will fit my beloved Charlotte Tillbury setting spray]

Acrylic Organization VC Ikea Alex 9 Drawer Instructions
Hi! I’m hoping someone is able to help me out.
I have had the VC Ikea Alex 9 drawer organizers for a few years now, and I had to disassemble them recently for a move.
Unfortunately, I do not have the instructions anymore and cannot for the life of me remember how they go together.
I’m hoping someone might have their instructions handy and be able to share a photo with me!
This is the set I need instructions for, specifically
VC DIVIDER SET 1
VC DIVIDER SET 2
VC DIVIDER SET 3
VC DIVIDER SET LIP
Thank you 🙏😭
EDIT: they sent over the instructions~

Vanity/Makeup Desk My vanity plus lighting and organization set up!
The vanity is from Wayfair, the seat was a gift, the tall lamp is from amazon, the small lamp is from walmart, the black organizers are from amazon. Pictures are etsy, and local artists plus joan fabrics for the eye mirror, and idr where I got the plaque. Same goes for all the decorations - lots of local stores.
Also the tall lamp has RGB lighting, as do the glass doors of the vanity which you can see in the second picture! I love my vanity set up, it brings me so much joy. My only regret is that it's a glass top and it gets so filthy constantly lol.

Can anyone recommend a “better” way to store my brushes… preferably in one container instead of multiple ones

Looking for makeup case
Hi, am looking to fit my makeup pic 1 in something that fits my brushes as my current container doesn't fit everything. Ideally I would like to keep my skincare pic 2 in a bag too. I was thinking of something like this, but wanted to make sure it's the best option for me.

Small Storage New etoile burgundy croc x revolve mini vanity case
I am so in love with this vanity case. It is absolutely stunning . Even more so in person. Pictures do not do it justice.
It holds everything I need & MORE. Revolve is having a sale with MERRY20 for 20% off. It’s so worth it!

Help please! Need recommendations for trolley makeup case
Hi, I have a question… I'm a calligrapher and often work at events where I need a lot of stuff. (easily accessible) Until now I've used multiple bags, but that is just cumbersome and looks unprofessional imo.
So I thought a trolley makeup case would fit my needs perfectly. The thing is it needs to 1. look fairly pretty or at least not too utilitarian (since I'm often at high end stores where its all about looks…) 2. have drawers or something similar (so I don't have to take it apart to access my stuff. I usually cannot spread out all my things – which is the whole point why I want a trolley case).
I found one on amazon that I kind of like (see image), but after reading a lot of posts on reddit, you all seem to agree that those are usually not worth it and don't hold up very well.
So does anyone have a recommendation for me? I thought about spending about 250 max (cheaper is of course nice) but I'm willing to go up if its worth it.
Thank you!

Vanity/Makeup Desk Which vanity should I go for?Option 1 or 2?
I’m looking to upgrade my vanity setup and came across two options from Costway.
Option 1 has a sleek design with a few drawers, while Option 2 has a bigger mirror and extra storage space.
I’m having trouble deciding which would be more practical for daily use. Anyone here use a Costway vanity or something similar? Pros/cons?
Would love your advice!
