Makeup junkies, listen up! If you’ve been looking for the ultimate way to store your makeup, we’ve found the perfect solution! And if you’re a fan of the Kardashians, you’ve probably seen the sisters’ amazing clear makeup storage boxes and like me, have been hunting for one? Well, acrylic makeup organizers are now available to us in SA thanks to 27Pinkx. The lovely Khatija sent me one of these awesome acrylic makeup drawers to review and I am in love with it. It’s amazing just how much makeup can fit inside while still looking pretty and organized, but most importantly, ensuring everything is easily accessible. Take a look… These clear acrylic makeup organizers are beyond beautiful and can store both your large and small beauty products, all in one place! The size of this one is 310mm wide x 380mm high x 305mm deep and consists of five compartments. The top compartment has a flip-lid that you can use to store all your daily essentials.

Makeup Storage – My Setup

This post is long overdue! I’ve been promising it for weeks on Twitter, and this weekend I finally had time to shoot some pics, so here goes. I hope you enjoy it and that it gives you some cool ideas to store your own makeup! Alrighty, so above is my vanity setup. You’ll probably recognise it from my closet room post, which by the way still needs to be updated! I’ve made a few changes in the layout of my makeup, and I’ve also finished my dresser off nicely with a mirror top. Before I just had the wired shelf top and everything would just fall through – it was a mission! I’ve always wanted a mirror dressing table, and now I finally have it. I can’t believe how cheap it was either! I think I paid R150 for the mirror top, which in case you’re wondering is sitting on a super thin piece of chipboard (so it doesn’t break).
