A lipstick sorting container is provided which includes a ridged box shaped holder having a bottom wall, side walls, an opening, and a first partition matrix housed within the sidewalls. The first partition matrix is housed within the sidewalls and is an arrangement of lipstick tube containers into rows and columns. Each container is configured in order to receive a lipstick tube when inserted into the box opening. A top includes a transparent top wall with a lower surface, side walls, and a second partition matrix connected to the lower surface.
