I didn't really know which ones to get either, the free shipping was ending so I just very spontaneously picked three different ones. I definitely plan to get more, I'm very happy with how much fits in there. The big one is perfect for MSFs and the smaller one fits blushes, MES and such perfectly. The 3rd one is great as a brush holder.

Thanks for posting. I really like the look of acrylic for my makeup storage. I really like the look of that larger one for my blush and MSF. They're in a cardboard box right now. Looking sad and collecting dust.

OK I'm back lol. sometimes i have to take a break to baby sit my little brother and/or watch some TV with my mom.
I'm so glad September is gone and October is here. like i haven't hauled anything this months LOL my goal is to only haul the hare coin collection and Enchanted Polish but only at Harlow or the EP website.
Remember i was complaining alot about my hauling last month (sep) and feeling extremely guilty. well it was because my dad gifted me 2 pieces of furniture from the Pier1 Hayworth collection. i still feel bad about all my hauling, so i cant thank my dad enough. i got the lingerie chest for my makeup and the jewelry for some jewelry, makeup and polish haha.
sorry about the box and rest of stuff LOL
and here is how i store my lipsticks in the 3rd drawer. first 2 are shadows.

i have 2 of those cube trays from ebay. they each hold 60 mac lipticks. they dont work with other lipticks. but as you can see most of my lipsticks are mac. i dont know how many i have right now. i refuse to count them. thats why i have them divided by the 2 trays. i do know i have more than 60
girlhaha.gif
also i have them by finish, sort of cause im not that organized, and some by special packaging. i know that all the ones in the right are mattes in regular packaging tho. and that i have like 7 lippies in my makeup bag.
this is a drawer from the jewelry chest. in it i have my mac glosses and lancome ones/other brands too. im not a gloss girl. and i have my lipliners and all the wetnwild lippies in a watch tin from fossil. and 2 BB dupes.
as for polish. i have an indie drawer. this pic needs to be updated tho.

there is a line of hares you cant see
cutey.gif
/ zoya, essie, catrice. and mac/ mini essence and some others.and a cat tin LOL im such a cat lady.

and a Butter london drawer. with 4 Illa and 2 nars.

i still couldnt fit all my OPI, CG CC. in them that would be impossible and a crime. i tried doing it and i think i messed up the last drawer of the lingerie chest.
ohboy.gif
"too heavy, too many, take them out" - said my brother
crybaby.gif
so that is my BL drawer now. its kind of hard to open. i feel like calling Pier1 but i know its my fault and there is no way im packing it back. what if my dad just returns it, regrets it. upps nope. ill just push alittle bit harder to close it
greengrin.gif
the green/teal tray on the bottom has drugstore polishes. like WnW, revlon.

so thats how i store my lipticks CC and some of my polishes :)

Thanks for sharing this! I remember when duckrodeo posted those ice trays. I think they're a great idea, but I wanted something for all my lipsticks to fit. Regular ice trays are also great for storing eye shadow pots, but I'm not sure if that's how I want to store my shadows yet.

Your furniture is such a great gift from your dad. That's really cool of him. It's very pretty, too.

Just like me! I'm still finishing stuff I have from the hayday of my Lush infatuation a few years ago.
@CC, don't believe the SAs when they tell you that the face masks can be only stored in the fridge for a week if you want to look into the face masks. I always put them in the freezer and take out portions with a spoon when I want to use them.
@Kimibos: I hoarded Twilight too last year! I hope they repromote it this year! Rose Jam is awesome too and they just released it again for Halloween!


CC, I just love your set up. I immediately clicked on the link for the dividers and was exstatic when a little window popped up telling me that the Container Shop ships to Germany. I then realised that shipping would be around 35$.
girlhaha.gif

How many dividers did you need for everything? In the meantime I found similar ones on ebay!


I'm so happy that we have a Muji store in my city. I have some of their acrylic range, but I LOVE this one because you can store blushes and MSFs upright in the drawers: http://www.muji.de/de/store/goods/4548076748991


Lovely! Glad you like the Kiko!
Your storage system is awesome too.



Recipe please?

This is my dream set-up. I wish I had the space to do something like this!


Soooo gorgeous! I really have to look into Isadora as a brand.

The dividers come in packs of 5. Two packs should be enough for 1 acrylic box the way I organized it. One divider from the pack is 38 segments long. I need 3 vertical dividers that are 9 segments long and 4 horizontal dividers that are 8 segments to make complete one section. I hope all of that makes sense!

Is there an acrylic version of that muji you posted? That would be perfect for my needs. I want my blush and MSFs to stand upright. I also like the idea of stacking things. I can't expand outward because of space, but I can stack things up.

That's a great idea about freezing the face masks! I'm light handed with how I use my products and I'm afraid everything would spoil.

That dresser looks good. i think the legs would be a perfect addition. you could also change the knobs. like there are some that are very cute and artsy. as for color idk maybe something bright that goes with black? unless you want to change it all
th_dunno.gif
one piece at a time of course. haha the lingerie chest look good put your panties somewhere else and get your makeup in there
girlhaha.gif
complaints? same here, i have some clothes on ziplot bags. the good thing is that right now i dont go out much or at all. so i just have everything hidden in the closet in those bags.
Sorry about your meds not working, it really sucks when you put, you know some hope into them and then they dont work anymore. its really hard to let go of clothes too. like i bought some free people pants on sale. they dont fit at all, i just cant take them out, not even to give away LOL

cant wait for your hares. LLarowe is never going to restock them apparently.

No I'm going to leave the black pieces, I love them, great quality stuff from that company. I want to put a little desk/vanity situation where I have the white dresser sitting in that photo(in the corner next to the linen closet off to the side of the living room) maybe some short Alex units with a table top.

I'll have to think about colour... has to go with the green on my bedroom walls- kind of like Essie mint candy apple/MAC in the limelight but a bit greener. I'll see what my dad thinks... he's the artist!
I really shouldn't have so much clothes I don't go out so much either, but I have to more now or I wont have any food. Fancy outfit to the grocery store time! haha

I was warned the meds could cause nausea(did it ever!) and I expressed some concern over this, but I didn't realize it was gonna irritate my whole digestive tract, ouch. I'm going to have to see if there's something else to try, my feet are so cold and so sore.

Really? That's too bad about Hare, I've always bought from the Etsy store. It sounds like NailPolishCanada is interested in carrying them, which would be better for shipping costs for me.

Oh, I forgot! I'm wearing my first Halloween related mani. Hare Dead Man's Bones with Butter London Billy No Mates. I'll take a pic tomorrow before I do a polish change. I'm going to do kimibos style manis this month and aim to change my polish every 2 days or less. My list of creepy polishes is kind of long.

I also got my Enchanted Life in Plastic polish today. I'll take a pic of that too.

I want Bramble and Petrol or sure. Maybe the gold and silver ones, but eh. I really want that large box! $65 is a great price for all of that polish. There are 6 colors that I don't have in the set, so it's still worth getting. But I need to wait and see how the next Enchanted restock will play out first before I buy it.

Wait, I'm reading the comments are people are calling the color pink. It looks like a lavender purple to me.
Click to expand...

I was going to ask if people were calling it pink or purple, as I often seem to disagree with people on that. I see it as more of a pale purple as well.


Spent the weekend in a smaller city, but still managed a small haul, including candy polish. Will try to post a photo tomorrow.

http://www.pointlesscafe.com/2013/10/jindie-nails-fall-chic-collection.html

I like smoking mirrors,but not sure I 'need' any of the others. I like the colours, just a little heavy on the glitter for me.

I want a handful of those colors, but they'll have to wait. I'm buying from the upcoming Scofflaw restock on the 6th. I want a few of the Dollish Halloween colors too. The Jindies are pretty, but I'm starting feel that many of them look alike.

There are no seasons indie is also interesting but the base seems a little too opaque, the glitters hardly show through in some pictures.
