Everyone seems to absolutely love clear, acrylic (plastic) storage! Whether thats a pen pot, letter holder or specifically designed makeup storage, its hard to find someone who doesn't use one of these products. I am no different here as I already owned a small lipstick holder that is clear and so so perfect which I managed to salvage from a charity shop! I just think they look super simple and allows you to really appreciate your makeup more as you are able to admire all of the beautiful packaging.
So knowing that I wanted to display my makeup in a new different way for the upcoming room revamp, I some how convinced my mum to let me go with her to B&M. I have gotten so many bargains from B&M in the past and I had a gut feeling that I would find something that would be perfect!
After dragging myself away from the american sweets I found exactly what I needed on the end of and Isle! I ended up getting two different 'organisers' that have made my makeup look so much better!
So this is the first one I picked up! It's called a 'Makeup Organiser' and it was £4.99!
Its approximately 32.5x21x8.5cm and has 15 sections!! For the price I feel like that is amazing! If you look online for a large clear organiser you are usually looking at a lot more that just £5!
So I got this one with the idea that it would hold all of my eye and face products, and I was pretty spot on with that. After clearing through all of the old stuff that goes unused I was able to fill this up with everything that i have left and it honestly looks so beautiful to me <3
I was actually really worried that it was going to be slightly too wide to fit on my shelve but its actually the perfect size, all of my makeup is now on this shelf looking more beautiful than ever!
The other item I got was classed as a 'Medicine Caddy' and it was only £1.99!!! Bargain I know! So I literally just picked this up with no idea as to what I was going to use it for, I knew I had a lot of loose small products that needed somewhere to go and I just hoped it would work out well.
I actually already threw out the packaging for this so I dont have the measurements but this caddy has 7 sections that I had to fill with something. I like the way that there are little handles in the side of this, it makes it so much easier to pick it up without anything falling out. You can really fit a lot of items in here if you put them in carefully.
You can see that I have really used up all of the available space in this caddy! A grand total of 27 products can fit in here and for only £1.99 I really think this was a great purchase! I honestly feel so much better about my makeup collection now knowing that its all organised and looking pretty!
I did get one final thing from B&M for my room and for my makeup sponge and that is this huge glass jar with 'Enjoy' written in gold.
This is a super cute large glass jar that was in the kitchen section. It was supposed to be £1 but was on sale for half price which is amazing! I wouldn't mind paying full price for this as its absolutely perfect for my room.
I'm going to use this jar for all of my makeup sponges, I currently only have one in there and thats one from Real Techniques. I do plan on filling the whole jar so whenever I need a sponge I have plenty!
Thats everything that I got and for a grand total of £7.48 I've managed to completely organise my makeup collection and make it look so much better than before. I can now look at everything and smile knowing that its not getting damaged in a drawer or makeup bag somewhere.
I still plan on getting a lot more makeup so more storage will be needed as my collection grows and hopefully I'll be able to find matching organisers for a super cheap price!
I hope you enjoyed reading about my new makeup storage! I also did a youtube video on everything I got from B&M where you can see them before I started using them:
If there is anything you want me to write about do let me know, I have a lot planned for this blog I just need the time to write!
