Storage Secret: Daiso!
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. :S
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).

You have A LOT more makeup than I have!
That slushy looks delicious! Makes me want a 7-eleven slurpee.

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
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.

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
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.

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
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
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
$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
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
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
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
Your makeup collection is beautiful
and very well organized. I keep mine in clear plastic bags from nordstrom rack.
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
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
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.
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
Wow, thats alot of make-up. I thought I had alot but no no you have alot.

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!! :@
