PRODUCT REVIEW: Muji Acrylic Storage Units

Hello fellow makeup lovers!

Today I will be sharing my product review for the Muji Acrylic Storage Units.
For those of you who are not familiar with the Muji drawers, they are clear acrylic storage units that come in a variety of sizes. You can find these units on the Muji website here: Muji Acrylic Storage Units. I'll also link to the specific Muji drawers that I own further below.

These storage units have been on my wishlist for the last two years, as many youtubers and beauty bloggers have been raving about their quality, durability, and attractive characteristics. I also wanted these storage units as they wouldn't take up too much space, they would allow me to see all my makeup, and they would encourage me to use the products that I already own before going out to purchase more.

After two years of wanting these drawers, I received the Muji Acrylic Storage Units for Christmas from my amazing boyfriend! As you can imagine, I was very excited to unwrap these drawers and start re-organizing my makeup collection. Re-organizing my makeup collection was actually quite difficult as I needed to convince myself to let go of quite a few of my beauty products as I owned substantially more products than I needed. This storage system made me see just how out of control my collection became, and after getting rid of a lot, I was very satisfied with the end result.

For those of you interested in seeing my updated makeup collection, I will split the posts in 3 parts beginning with Lip Products over the next three days.

Here's my product review for the Muji drawers!

  Muji Acrylic Storage Units:
 
The Muji acrylic storage units were very well packaged.
There was so much bubble wrap, it took me 20 minutes to get it all off!
There is an additional $4 fragile packaging fee for each unit
that you purchase which is definitely worth it.

I received:
three 5-drawer units and one 2-drawer unit to fit my entire makeup collection
(excluding some eyeshadow palettes and products that I carry with me daily)

  
  Makeup Collection:
 


 
My Overall Impression:
The Muji Acrylic Storage Units are durable and high-quality products. They retail between $15.95 and $27.95 each depending on the model you select. This storage system does not take up much space and keeps the majority of makeup collection neatly organized. What I love most about these units is that I can pull out individual drawers out completely from their units, which makes it easy to re-organize or pull out one specific drawer that I need at a time.

Makeup lovers looking to decrease or increase their makeup collection and searching for an attractive and affordable storage system, look no further! I'm still kicking myself for waiting so long to get my hands on these drawers, and I must say, the Muji Acrylic Storage Unitsare definitely worth the wait!

    1. If you look on ebay, there are a lot of similar storage units that you can find, however, they're more pricey :S

    1. Hi Michelle! I believe shipping was $34. In all, for 4 pieces + shipping + taxes my boyfriend paid around $160 to have it delivered to Montreal. It really depends where you live though, I know if you live in the US shipping fees are a lot cheaper.

  6. I really love this storage unit! If I had space I'd be tempted to buy these myself! They look great, and super organized! And I love how you can see all your makeup, it helps not forget about certain products!

    By the way, I would love if you could review the Bourjois face powder I see in your picture, as well as the beauty blender!

    Thanks for this review!

    1. I've been wanting it so long and I'm so happy to finally have it. I was able to downsize my collection and organize everything thoroughly! :).

      I will definitely review Bourjois face powder and the beauty blender! :D

  7. I might prefer opaque storage for this stuff but I have to say, it looks really great and organized and I'm liking the transparency of it all when I see it altogether like that. It screams organized makeup lover and that's really cool!

  8. Hi, I was wondering if the 2-drawer unit fits exactly on top of the 5-drawer unit? (Like does it line up exactly - can't really tell by the pictures). Muji doesn't ship to my country so I've just been looking on eBay but the measurements are a little confusing and the 2-drawer and 3-drawer seem to be half a centimetre off! Ahh want these so bad! x

    1. Hey hun! The 2-drawer unit I'd saw is about half a centimeter off on each side, so it is smaller than the 5-drawer unit. That's the main reason why I set it on top. I personally like it that way though :)! And the 2-drawer units have some tiny rubber 'feet' that helps keep them in place so it doesn't move off the 5-drawer unit!

      I hope that helps :)
