I don't recall how I ended up looking at vintage lipstick caddies on etsy.  Not sure about you, but the idea of little lipstick caddies seems incredibly quaint to me - but maybe that's because I own no more than zero lipsticks.  Notwithstanding this, I was drawn to their typically ornate design and potential for organizing all manner of things.  I'm using one to hold my daily makeup tools - powder/blush brushes, eyeliner, and lipliner (which is generally used for a good coloring-in if I am dressing like a boy that day or am feeling like a scrub).

See more on etsy here, here, and here and fill with your favorite narrow objects, lipsticks or not.  I love receptacles!
