PART 1: Updated Makeup Collection & Storage - LIPS

Hello fellow makeup lovers!

Today I will be sharing Part 1 of my updated makeup collection and storage. This post will showcase all makeup products that are found in my 5-drawer Muji Acrylic Storage Unit for 'LIPS'. This includes both high-end and drugstore lipstick, lipgloss, lip balms, lip butter, lip liners, and lip tints/stains.

Before I begin, I would like to include the same disclaimer as I did within my first Makeup Collection post:

I would just like to mention that in no way am I creating this post to brag. I do acknowledge that I own more makeup than I'll ever need; however, I'm always on the lookout to try out new products. That being said, makeup is one of my hobbies and my collection has grown over the last two years. I did purchase the majority of the products that are in my makeup collection, and the rest was given to me as gifts from friends and family. I'm creating this post so that I could share with you how I store most of my makeup, and I'm hoping that this post will help those who would like new storage ideas for their makeup collection.

I also have a detailed review for the Muji Acrylic Drawer Units on the blog if you're interested in reading that!

So without further ado, here is my updated makeup collection & Muji storage!

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)

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!
