Container Store Haul

Container Store Haul

I don’t often do haul videos, but I have a Container Store Haul video to share with you. This past Sunday I went to brunch with Genia and Erika. After brunch we went to the Container Store and I picked up more makeup storage. I even had a 15% off coupon (yay). This video shows you what I bought and how I plan to use it to store my makeup.

24 slot acrylic lipstick holder – this fits into my Ikea Alex (short) drawers to hold lipstick. It can also fit inside an Ikea Helmer or on a vanity.

4 section swivel acrylic organizer – put cotton balls, q-tips, hair ties, earrings, etc in this.

Long and short acrylic stacking organizers – put eyeshadows or blushes in these containers.

Linus 3 sectioned trays – I like to put lipsticks, lipglosses, cream eyeshadows, eyeshadows, etc in here.

Linus medicine cabinet organizer – I put my Nyx eyebrow gel, eyebrow pencils, mascaras, brow gel, etc in here.

I use e.l.f. 3 compartment large brush holders to store my brushes. You can often buy these on sale.

I definitely think an Ikea Alex (short or tall) or an Ikea Helmer, is useful if you have a large makeup collection. Alternately,  if you have a large nail polish collection, you can always get some cool wall mount racks for storage. I love the look of this black metal one.

For sample eyeshadow baggies, I like to put them into binders – like the type you’d put Magic the Gathering cards (or baseball cards) into.

If you have limited space, I would say check out the Sherrieblossom Icebox skinny, or another acrylic makeup container that will fit onto your dresser or vanity.

  1. I seriously wish I had a Container Store around me because my makeup storage is lacking. Like non-existent. I guarantee you I would use more of it up if it was easily accessible. Great haul!!

  2. I wish we had Container Store here… because shipping is so expensive if they do ship. I need me some Alex drawers for sure when I can get them. This looks like something I could stash some cool things in.

  5. Wish there’s a Container store here in HI. A similar one Simply Organized folded up not too long ago and that’s where I used to buy my storage thingies.

  8. have you seen their Luxe Acrylic Modular System? i have a bunch of the Wide Medium Drawers because i figured they were more cost effective than the Sherriblossom. i use the plastic tab drawer organizers from Daiso to divide the space as necessary. it’s not as pretty at least it’s cheaper.

  12. I’m big on apothecary jars and I even have 3 compartment stacking one. And lots of plastic containers. But I definitely need more. And I need more storage space in my house.
