Los Angeles was all abuzz when
Muji opened a flagship store in Hollywood before the holidays in 2013, and I was among the happy people. I have wanted lots of things from Muji for quite some time, but wanted to see everything in the store rather than ordering online. I waited until after the holidays to go since the store is located on Hollywood Blvd.-- right in the tourist-mecca. The store is delightful, clean, and immaculately organized. While there were many things that caught my eye, I was on a mission to find a few things to organize my makeup.
I had been thinking about the
Muji Acrylic 5 Drawer Case (10.2" x 6.9" x 6.3") to house some of my lipsticks and lip glosses for quite a while, but didn't want to buy it sight unseen. Instead, I went to Muji armed with a pile of lipsticks to make sure that I felt it was an adequate solution. While it hardly holds all of my lipsticks and lip glosses-- it does hold many of my favorites. The drawers from this particular case are a touch too shallow to comfortably accommodate the Guerlain Rouge G Lipsticks-- you can manage to get the drawer to close, but if the Rouge G bullet moves around then the bulkier parts can trap the door shut (for this reason I don't store them in here).
Top drawer: Tom Ford and Susan Thompson Cosmetics lipsticks and lip glosses
Second drawer: Burberry lipsticks and lip glosses
Third drawer: Giorgio Armani and Rouge Bunny Rouge lipsticks and lip glosses
Fourth drawer: Le Métier de Beauté and By Terry lipsticks and lip glosses
Fifth drawer: Chanel lip glosses and lipsticks
How do you store your lipsticks? Are you satisfied, or are you looking for a better solution?
Overall assessment: We are very happy together.
