Hi Beanie, I assume by products you mean skincare/makeup/shampoo etc etc?
I use one of these for the make up I use regularly so it's all to hand and easy to see and use one of these for moisturisers/shampoo/shower gel/toothpaste etc. I actually bought the drawers to keep DD's clothes in until I could move them into drawers but now I've done that so I have re-purposed the drawer unit for my bathroom and put most of my toiletries in there.Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.

🤦♀️ Well maybe clear storage boxes are not the way to go then. 🤣
What about a basket? I use these in my bedroom on top of my drawers to keep stuff in so it's handy but not looking messy.Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.

It was iron bru.teafor2 said:Hi Beanie
I did wonder about the winking face next to your last comment and thinking there was more to it than meets the eye I had a quick google. I didn't realise they actually made an iron bru gin or my favourite flavour of all time dandelion and burdock. I obviously lead a very sheltered life 
Hope you're having a good day. xxI had no Idea there was an iron bru gin~~. The mind boggles.Iron bru is a well known pick me up
in Scotland. Xx
