Muji Drawers to the rescue... After experimenting with pots, holders, jars and boxes (See Make up storage part 1) I’ve finally found a solution that’s fit for purpose. I first spied this type of make up storage whilst watching my ultimate guilty pleasure ‘Keeping up with the Kardashians’ – the sisters all store their make up in stacked acrylic drawers, although theirs are probably custom made and certainly look bigger than these.
I’m not claiming to have discovered these little gems, Muji has been kicking around for a while but NOT UP NORTH, well not until recently! For those that aren’t familiar Muji is a Japanese company that specialise in simple household products – non branded quality goods at reasonable prices. These drawers can be used for anything – stationary, jewellery, buttons, brushes... bits and bobs! However in my eyes they were made for make up! In the UK the stackable drawers are only available in ones and twos, but I’ve seen threes and fives in the US. I started with a 2 Drawer with Flip-Top Lid...

It lasted a week! I loved them so much I had to go back for another 2. This time a regular 2 Drawer without the flip top. They stack really well but you can keep them separate if you prefer.
The two-tiered drawer looked great; It fit perfectly under the mirror on my dressing chest, four covers the mirror a little, but I can live with that! If/WHEN the stack grows I’ll have to find somewhere else to keep them.
They’re very durable, easy to clean and when filled, look tidy and stylish. My only complaint is that they’re not deeper, I had hoped to get two layers of blusher in one drawer.
Together with the two side drawers (deceptively big btw) and the top draw I'm all stacked, merchandised and stored.
I'm all set, for now at least!
