Celebrity Style Makeup Storage

Hey Everyone!!

So ever since Kim Kardashian showed her Acrylic Makeup Storage Containers on the show "Keeping Up With The Kardashians", the acrylic containers became really popular! I myself absolutely LOVE them, they are so clean and classy looking. They are the kind of thing you can get away with having on your counter 24/7 rather then hiding all of your products in your cupboards or drawers in the bathroom! It showcases your makeup as well in a really nice looking way. The organization is amazing! You really cant go wrong! But...to get the ones the celebrities have its quite pricey! I googled to find one similar to what Kim had, and came across the ones that "all the celebrities buy" and it was around 400. It was beautiful, but I couldnt justify spending that much. I always like to hunt for stuff similar but cheaper!

Heres a pic of Kim Kardashians bathroom & Jenna Jamesons bathroom with the acrylic storage.



Beautiful right? Heres the cases I came across that were on the expensive side, yet gorgeous!



They are called an "Ice Box"...the website is www.sherrieblossom.com

Dont get me wrong, I would prefer to have the exact ones these ladies have or an "Ice Box"....but I'm not a celebrity with money to blow on storage containers!
So I found a website that has a smaller version of these Acrylic Makeup Cases...for a fraction of the cost ($27.95) plus shipping..I believe my order came out to around $80 dollars with shipping, and taxes.
I will say that I do wish they were a bit bigger, I got 2 to start to see how I liked them..and I ended up stacking them on top of eachother because I wanted them to be much bigger looking.
Heres a pic of my containers...plus a makeup organizer I got from "Bed Bath & Beyond"


The link for these cases (except the one to the left) is.... http://www.muji.us/store/storage/acrylic-cases.html?limit=all
I love them! They fit really nice for my smaller counter
I recommend checking out the dimensions before you buy, just to make sure your makeup can fit...
MAC eyeshadows fit perfectly...powders, blushes etc..
The fluidline from MAC, Studio Sculpt concealer, & paint pots are really tight and dont fit that great!

Until next time!
