How do you store your make up? I store mine in $2 plastic containers/drawers from Daiso. I went yesterday to buy a couple more, but to my disappointment, they were all sold out!
This is just the stuff I use frequently so it’s within easy reach. All the containers in this picture are from Daiso; the black basket, drawers, the pink box and even my cookie jar (of course, a piggy like me has to have a cookie jar currently filled with Girl Guide cookies)! Yes I know the white ones don’t match… I just bought the wrong ones. 
A glimpse inside: paint pots, fluidliners, random eye shadows I haven’t depotted yet, smaller eye palettes, lip stuff, etc.
Half of my brushes.. the rest are in a make up case so I can take them out with me. Oopsies… some of my brushes needs to be washed.
The rest of my palettes, falsies, and other stuff are stored in my closet in a plastic 3-drawer storage on wheels; I won’t take a picture of the rest because they are just jumbled with extra bottles of deep hair conditioners, boxes of hair dye I buy but never use, tampons, etc. Hah. It’s nice to have hardwood floors because I just roll around in my chair and never have to actually stand up to get anything. God I’m lazy.
Anyway, Boyfriend and I stopped by Yaohan to grab some food and curry fish balls and I couldn’t leave there without my regular watermelon slush with no pearls.
Boyfriend got upset in attempt to steal mine because I never order pearls (which defeats the whole purpose of getting “bubble” tea). I can’t stand how lame these comics are but we get a good kick out from making fun of them.
But yeah… if you ever come to Richmond, go to Juice King in Yaohan; it has the BEST bubble tea, imo (well that is if you hate powdered bubble tea like I do).

I love shopping at Daiso! Even if I have nothing to buy, I always end up getting something!

Yeah that’s true… the only powder one I get is taro but I like Bubble Queen better now because it’s closer to home and doesn’t have a stupid crazy parking lot like Yaohan!!

Wow, thats alot of make-up. I thought I had alot but no no you have alot.
REPLY
wow I love all of your makeup collection!!! Its beautiful!!! I REALLY need to learn how to put on the falsies!!! they look so adorable on! well your very orginized! Its also a great way to show off all your hot make up
REPLY
That’s a really good way for storing makeup. If my makeup collection ever rivals yours I will definitely consider these organizers. For now, I use a Sephora storage box. It’s cute but nowhere as functional as these Daiso boxes. But then again, I don’t have nearly as much make-up as you! LOL! I’m quite boring when it comes to colors. I only wear brown eyeshadow and gold glitter on a daily basis and smokey eyes when the event requires it. LOL. I should really expand my colors.
And the BBT covers are just hilariously lame. It makes for a good time killer though! You make me wanna to get some bobba now. I’ll probably go tonight – though Toronto’s BBT shops don’t have such entertaining covers.
As for buying Laneige products, you’d probably have to go to Korean Town. They have it over here in Toronto’s K-Town so I’m pretty sure you can find it at Vancouver’s K-Town.

wow you’re so organized. I keep my makeup in similar plastic-y things I get from wal-mart. They’re great space savers.
REPLY
You keep your make up so organized!
Because I don’t wear much make-up, I don’t have this pimped out collection. I use to collect make up though, and I would place them in those same kind of plastic bins, but it didn’t look nearly as neat as yours.
REPLY
Your makeup collection is beautiful
and very well organized. I keep mine in clear plastic bags from nordstrom rack.
REPLY
Dude, wth. I WANT ALL YOUR MAKE-UP!!! Mine is not even a quarter of yours. I swear, when Im back on my own!
And I love the boba! Pearl shakes ♥
REPLY
I think you saw all of my storage stuff for my makeup on my collection post? If not its cool. It’s changed a little bit, but not entirely. I guess just aesthetics of it.
What is bubble tea?!
REPLY
I can see that I’m talking to another MAC addict, lol. I have a MAC drawer- the tp of my chest of drawers has little pockets and pidgeonholes that I can store everything from my fluidliners to my shadesticks. I’m so obsessed with keeping everything in neat and tidy order.
REPLY
$2 storage containers? They’re waaay more expensive here!
I love pearls… I can’t believe you don’t like them/didn’t order them. It’s a crime against humanity!
REPLY
Holy shit, that’s a lot of makeup! I never use anything more than tinted moisturiser, mascara and some lip tint (some bronzer maybe), so I can get away with a little makeup case I got from Rimmel…like a smaller version of a hatbox!
REPLY
Oh damn, wish we had Daiso in Australia! All the Asians would go insane. I just throw all my makeup stuff everywhere but I have nowhere near the impressive amount you have!
Why don’t you like pearls? Haha, I really like chewing on them and then when the drink is finished I feel like a loser sucking up all the pearls
REPLY
I don’t need to keep checking back until you update it because I have subscribed to you on my RSS feeds on my mac mail
I’m looking forward to your book listings! I’ve been looking for something great to read 
I was just looking at prices at some websites and their nearing about 100 a year or so. I’m going to check yours out! Thank you miss!
REPLY
Well obviously you’re like the backstage of a Marc Jacobs fashion show make-up artist with everything so perfectly organized and accessible!
Me on the other hand, I pull my Chapstick out of whatever pocket I stuck it in, balm it up and go. Yeah, you wont catch me taking photographs of that however exciting it may be!
*Melle posses for photos as she hurries to apply some lip balm* She’s a sexah bish.

aweee i miss yohan! so many fobs! hahaha
HAHAHA. I didn’t know people in other places use the word “FOB” because when I use it some times in my own home town, people don’t know what I’m talking about!
Anywho, I don’t like powdered bubble tea too! Yuck :/* My favorite one is purple yam YUMMmMMM. I never had watermelon before. But bubble drinks aren’t good for you. People keep telling me that they are jam packed with sugar. I’m not a big fan of the black pearls either. It’s like eating your drink. It’s weird. :X
I put my make-up in a make-up case from Sephora. I was thinking of doing those plastic cases but I use that for my jewelry/accessories and my room is jam packed as it already is. You have a butt load of brushes by the way! Jeebus.
REPLY
I get lychee and tapioca. Love! I want some now!
I freaking love your storage system and all your makeup. I have my makeup in a drawer ’cause I don’t have a ton (although I’m working on it), but I do have my hair bands and jewelry in a case similar to yours, with little plastic drawers.
REPLY
OMG they have comics on their bubble tea covers?? How come we don’t have those here??
I’ve never had watermelon actually… always honeydew for me. And, hey, I don’t get tapioca either!
REPLY
You have A LOT more makeup than I have!
That slushy looks delicious! Makes me want a 7-eleven slurpee.
