Promising review: "This set is exactly what I’ve been looking for. They fit perfectly in my drawers, and stacked they are the exact depth of the shallow drawer in my vanity. Perfect for organizing all the small tools and bits of makeup, bottles of perfume and tubes of medicine etc. Appear to be heavy/high quality enough to last a long time." —S. Knox
Get the set on Amazon for $14.99.
It's 12 inches long (by six inches wide), so it can fit more products than you expect. It could work no matter how much makeup you have: if you're a minimalist, it can hold just the few products you use most; if you have every palette under the sun, you may want more than one!
Promising review: "I was looking for something that would fit my Morphe palettes upright, not on their sides. This works perfectly! It fits thick palettes like the Tarteist contour palette, medium-thick palettes like the Morphe blush palettes and the Coastal Scents hot pot palette, and thin palettes like Lorac Mega Pros. If you have a lot of makeup, I wouldn't hesitate to buy this. I'm sure it will fit anything you have. This organizer is just what I was looking for, and at the right price!" —eXample

Promising review: "This product did exactly what I needed it to. Before all my items were in a drawer and the cords were a pain, but with this metal basket it minimized clutter, kept things organized and separate, and it also looks nice. It fits two of my blow dryers, a flat iron, and curling wand. Worth the buy. :)" —Alyssa Jewell

Skip the trash bag and it becomes a deep storage basket, instead!
Promising review: "Fits well under the bathroom sink. My Bassett kept getting into the bathroom garbage (a small stainless step can), so I got this to keep him out of the trash and save storage space in the vanity. Only complaint is I added Command Strips where the base touches the door so it doesn't clang when I open it." —Lauren W.

Maybe you're like Dream Green DIY and want to use the space for your hair tools, or your makeup brush kit, or your selection of hair brushes...whatever!
Get a pack of nine of these hooks for $5.25 and a similar file basket for $11.99 on Amazon.
Promising review: "Having recently moved into a much smaller home, I no longer had the luxury of just plopping my hair dryer into its own separate drawer. I was looking for something that would allow me easy access and utilize my limited cabinet space well. Most of what I was originally finding for hair dryers hooked over the cabinet door so when the door was closed, the silver hooks were exposed on the outside of it. I am picky, but I didn't want that as it cluttered up the look and not what I wanted.
This solution has been perfect. It adheres to the inside of the door and is completely invisible when the door is shut. I have yet to find anything I don't like about it. Just an FYI: You must wait 24 hours from application to usage, unlike many Command products which can be used within an hour." —Holly

You have two main options for this: over-the-toilet floor shelves (which often have the coveted ~cabinet space~), or a set of three or four regular wall shelves (which will require your toolbox and level to hang).
