So last weekend I had a sudden urge and impulse to re-organise my makeup… I’m sure every girl who has a makeup collection loves organizing it (I could spend hours playing with and sorting out mine).
So on Sunday I went online to check out what IKEA had to offer, then jumped in my car, drove to Lakeside (with no makeup, nor a bra on) picked up the Alex (with great difficulty, this thing is HEAVY), drove home, spent the day building it and voila, spur of the moment idea came into reality.
I thought I’d make a little video showing my new storage because I simply LOVE it!

I do have A LOT more makeup which I will save for a big makeup storage/room tour type video and post, but for now, this is it!
I really hope you enjoy this video, let me know your thoughts!
How do you store your daily makeup?

I loved your video! You have ALOT of makeup but i totally agree with the speech that you said at the start about what you don't spend your money on. Great blog post!!!

Love the Robbie willams canvas;)
Please say you're joking!! It's Morrissey, not Robbie!!
So many people seem to have the Alex – it looks perfect for make up storage but I don't have anywhere near enough stuff to fill it just yet. I have a vintage dressing table and matching chest of drawers next to my bed that I keep everything in, every now and again I do attempt to organise it but that never lasts long! xx
So many gurus have bought these shelves for their makeup storage. I'm kind of jealous because we don't have IKEA here and I feel like these would be perfect to store everything!

Where is your Morrissey pic from? X
Hello! Got it online, from eBay I think!
Ok wow, you're organised. I chuck all of my makeup in a huge Marilyn Monroe vanity case and take a lucky dip for what I fancy everyday
This is really fun to see! I have tons of make-up as well… 🙂
I don't know what looks better, the make-up or Moz!
That camera collection is impressive too, I'm more than slightly jealous.

I love that Morrissey is just chilling on the wall, I have some severe make up envy 🙂 x
Love watching this type of viedos, there are always many good ideas for me!

I so agree with what you said about why you spend your money on lipsticks! I also really love your make-up collection!
Haha, after you showed the pics of your bruise I literally said 'ouch' the same time as you! Looks so painful!

Awh I love your storage for your make-up – mmm maybe I should invest in some muji

You really did a great job!! I love your storage!!
I've been looking for ways to organize my makeup too..perhaps ikea is the solution 😉

Nice job! I have a small Ikea alex drawer for undies and socks etc. I find them really handy. I love MUJI storage 🙂 I don't own any of it myself but it looks so neat that I should really do some research for my growing make up collection.
I adore your storage! I've been considering getting something similar. I have my collection in baskets which I stack at the moment, which is pretty inconvenient.
Very cute and organised. Thanks for sharing!

very jealous of your make-up collection and good way of sorting them with boxes in draws 🙂 I don't have the biggest collection so just have mine in 3 make-up bags and a box! Maybe one day my collection will be like yours (I can wish) Loved the video as well!

thanks for share....

Can't speak to competitiveness of storage facilities regarding price but I feel we pay a fair price for our unit. Bottom line is that those guys are a pleasure to do business with.
Where I live we do not get IKEA but if we did I swear I would have about three Alex units! They are gorgeous and so many people have them! Also that simple idea with the eyeliners in the glasses is crazy genius – amazing how such simple ideas can be so smart 🙂

Love your storage! I've had to make use of whatever I can get my paws on; old boxes, draws etc haha, it's a bit of a mess but would love it to look something like this eventually!
