How To Organize Yourself?

How can I organize all of my dance things for competitions?

• I have been in dance competitions for a couple years now but I haven't found a good way to organize all of my stuff. I need to bring lots of hair ties, bobby pins, hair brush, hair spray etc... I also need to bring all of my dance makeup which includes eye shadows, my makeup brushes, lipstick, fake eyelashes, foundation, eyelash glue, mascara, eyeliner etc... I also need to organize my dance shoes, and tights. My costumes I just put in garment bags, but if you know of anything I could use to organize it all (not too expensive) that would be great! P.S.I have tried train cases (big makeup cases) but they don't fit my tights, shoes or hairspray. Thanks for any answers!

  I would say get one of these types of bags http://www.google.com/imgres?um=1&hl=en&biw=1302&bih=712&tbm=isch&tbnid=tuhNpoYzCT11QM:&imgrefurl=http://danceskirts.biz/gifts_1_1_bags.html&docid=eHBD8gSVbH9SaM&imgurl=http://danceskirts.biz/images/BAG-BLOCH-A35-PINK.jpg&w=600&h=600&ei=14scT97YE8ad2QXGntSBAQ&zoom=1&iact=rc&dur=250&sig=115583882759470245956&page=1&tbnh=121&tbnw=133&start=0&ndsp=21&ved=1t:429,r:0,s:0&tx=46&ty=104 It's basically just a bag with a big section in the middle and small sections on either side. I would use one side for all of your hair ties, boby pins, brush... you can also put the hair ties and boby pins and other hair accesories in a small little bag to keep them together. In the other side you can put your makeup in. again I would put my brushes lipstick, eyelash glue, mascara... in a small little bag as well. In the middle you can keep all of your shoes, tights, hairspray, ect. If you didn't have room for your tights you could always put them in the bags you put your costumes in... I hope this helps :) good luck at all of your competitions. Let me know how your season goes :)
