I bought this makeup caddy at Priceline on a whim. I didn’t even think I’d need one until I brought it home. You see, all of my makeup goes into that wooden chest of drawers you see back there. The only beauty products that are on my dresser are skincare and that’s because I use them so often.
I decided to put makeup I wanted to try or use for the week onto the acrylic organiser. After a while, I realised it was a great idea. As my makeup is always kept away in drawers, I tend to only use the ones nearest to me. This way, I get to rotate my makeup, thus giving them more lovin’.
Plus I think it looks pretty on the dresser :P.
Do you have a similar makeup caddy? Pictures please! 🙂
oh that is such a great caddy. Very functional with all the different sizes & compartment. I have a similar ( well not really) set i grabbed from daiso. Has 6 same sized compartments. Is really handy. So i have 2 sets.

Mel: Man, how come I didn’t see something similar at Daiso earlier? This would have been almost 10 times the price of the Daiso’s! >.<
good idea! i put things that i want to use in a tray, and that’s getting pretty messy already. I have the same wooden chest, that’s from ikea right? dunno why they go discontinue it. my wooden chest contains all my blushes and it’s exploding!

Plue: Yep, the wooden chest was from IKEA. Don’t know why they discontinued it either. It was so popular (IKEA Hacks did so many versions of it). They have a similar wooden box, but it’s not as sturdy.
That is an awesome idea! I should definitely get myself one of those from Priceline, I was looking at the exact ones today!

Tegan: Cool! Priceline has a few versions of this if you’re thinking of getting one 😉
That’s the one we saw when I was there right? I was so tempted to get, but couldn’t cos it wouldn’t survive in my bag coming back! >.<

Beetrice: I think so. Oh this will definitely survive in your bag. It’s not cheapie plastic. Very sturdy stuff 😛
Can I ask how much you got it for? Looks like I need a few of those! 🙂
Sharon: I don’t really remember. I think I got it for about $20 or less. I do remember getting it when it was on sale, so maybe it’s not that cheap? Even so, it will not be over $30, that I’m sure.
Looks so fab! I have one like it (plus more than a handful of lipstick ones lol) and I love them! I wish I had more…

Kaye: I like the lipstick ones. They look so good on display (takes up a lot more space than if I just keep them in a box :P).
i’ve been looking for acrylic make up organisers too! they’re pretty pricey tho :/
how much did you get yours for?

Chloe: I’m not really sure as I can’t remember the exact amount I got it for. I think it was $20 or less. I do remember getting it when it was on sale. It’s not more than $30, of that I’m sure.
Cute idea! I don’t really have anywhere to put this type of thing, but I do use a magnetic board that I stick my eyeshadows and blushes on. As you said, reminds me to use things 🙂

Chelsea: OMG how awesome is your idea?! Magnetic board to stick eyeshadows and blush on? I love it! 😀
You can find it here: http://confessionsofaba.blogspot.com.au/2012/01/magnetic-makeup-board.html 🙂 (not my idea originally, I linked the original person)

Thanks for the link! Now I remember, I’ve seen that before. Very cool idea indeed 🙂
I use the same caddy as yours but I bought it few yers ago from somewhere else.
Kris: Cool! I reckon you probably got yours a lot cheaper than I did >.<
Am sure if I pick up more storage, I would purchase more makeup to put in it lol….but it does look pretty.
Aysh: Hahahah spot on! 😀
Love them MakeUp Caddy!! I got 2 from Freedom a while ago to put on my dresser for products I “frequently use”. Even then, its pretty packed to the brim. Its true that you never think you need one until you have one. 😛

Adeline: That’s what I thought! I originally bought it because I thought it’ll make my makeup look nice on the dresser. But it really is a great way for me to rotate my makeup, giving them more love. Didn’t think I’d need one till I got it 😉
Oh my god I want one! I have absolutely no where to put it but it looks so good.
Megan: Oh I’m sure you’ll find a place for it, right? Right? 😉 *nudge nudge*
I want an acrylic organizer similar to yours but the price is always too high for me. One of these days I’m just going to break down and buy one!
Ashley: This one’s actually not too bad. I’ve seen acrylic organisers that come up to $200, which is ridiculous! Why are acrylic organisers so expensive?!
This is such a good idea! I wish I had that much counter space so I could use something like this there!
Kimberley recently posted..Lust Have It September
Kimberley: I had trouble searching for space too, hence the caddy in front of the drawers. Every time I need to access the drawers, I have to put the caddy away. A bit of a hassle there, but oh well, at least that’s space well-utilised 😛
ohh this almost seems perfect, except all my things come in like these weird shapes so i got an acrylic stand and it has these cute spaces but my things dont fit (WHAA! *starts crying*) so i just decided to neatly stuff it in one cute box which i got from target. i dont really mind that my shits all crammed up, what i DO mind is that i have to sometimes dig all the way to the bottom of the box just to get my blush or eyeliner -_- and i was thinking about getting like a computer desk thingy thing with a drawer so i can do my make up and also be organized. but i do not know guys. UGH, i got carries away and thought this was my blog.. well goodbyeyeyeyeye. (Kisses&Hugs) Whooop..
Kristinah: Hahahaha you’re too cute 😛 Yeah I know what you mean by having to dig to the bottom of the box to get makeup. First of all, poor makeup and secondly after all that digging … hmm, what was I looking for again? 😛
Nice lil’ caddy! And wow! For only about $20? That sure is a bargain. You wouldn’t believe it, but I saw the exact same one (tapered corners and glossy shine – EXACTLY THE SAME AS YOURS) at Howards Storage World and it was $79!! I’m looking for an acrylic storage caddy too. You are very lucky to have purchased that a few years ago! 🙂
Howard Storage World is a rip-off. It’s ridiculous how much they charge for their products. I bought a set of acrylic drawers for my lippies that look just like the ones you see at HSW and even MUJI from Aldi and it also only cost me $20. The Reject Shop also sells similar caddies from time to time at around $10-$20. Really, as pretty as the things are at HSW, I wouldn’t buy from there.
