Glamour Flip Top Makeup Box From The Makeup Box Shop

I am sorry to bore all the non-makeup readers. But I am so excited that I did not put up a Stalk my Nom in between. The reason for my excitement is because I have wanted one of these since forever. Did I say forever? Yes.. people think I exaggerate but I don't. I think it has been a lemming for one and a half years. I had been voyeuring this storage box for a long time on the interwebs. Heck I joined a few competitions that were giving away these beautiful "Kardashian makeup storage". I don't even know where I saw these first and lord knows it was not from watching Keeping up with the Kardashians.

Earlier this month, I joined in the Instagram competition hosted by TheMakeupBoxAU and you can see the picture that I had to repost. I try to avoid joining every single Instagram competition that I come across as it might annoy people who get a ton of the same pictures in their timeline. So I only selectively join the ones that I really want to win. This storage box was definitely reposted in my timeline as well so the competition was fierce! The competition ended on the 15th of April. I had my work laptop on as I had to submit something urgently that day. I looked at Instagram and was tagged that I won! I pretty much moon walk in my head and then proceeded to sms some people, post on facebook and Instagram. WOOOOHOOO! The other good news was I also submitted what I had to for work by 9pm, not too bad!. :)

The ladies so kindly sent my makeup box the next day - so happy! When I received it, D came home from childcare and said this is the garage and put his toy cars in it. Mick said this is for Mummy's makeup. D told me that I can put makeup on certain drawers but this one - and he points to one is his garage shed for his cars. I said ok... knowing that I could not fill the box fully anyway. I left him an empty drawer.

So here are before pictures. I am quite ashamed of my before .. so please do not judge and think lord Lingy what on earth, are you living with dust covered expensive makeup!?

Drawerful of odds and ends plus nail polish

Super old Dior GWP storage case Main Makeup Storage

Random bits I found gathering dust!

Also now known as Dior case of Storage Shame

Now that I am hanging my head in shame, this is the after that I completed packing yesterday! I started in the morning while getting ready for work. And quite honestly being able to see what I have made me dabble in some makeup and put on some yesterday. Here is the bottom drawer which can accomodate the widest items. I can report that Hello Darling cannot be standing in this drawer but you can put two layers on. Note to all the nail polish manufacturers, square bottles store best! Kthx!!

Bottom Drawer Nail Polish Goodies

Top to Bottom: Foundation & Brush, Lipsticks, Cheeks, Eyes, D's Car Garage Shed, Nails

So the top flip top are all face products including my Real Techniques eye brush set. I also put odds and ends like my nail clippers and tweezers. Second drawer was lipsticks.. basically I have 1 or 2 in my handbag and this is the rest. Yeah.. that's it one layer of lip products so this drawer is half filled - actually I have not included my newly purchased lip butters. Next drawer is even more empty, there is one Shu Umuera cream, one YoungBlood unused and a Nars. Bad effort there Lingy... get shopping. Eyes drawer is full at the moment so I do not need any help there. Next drawer is D's garage shed so that one is a no-go zone for me. :) The last drawer is full except I could fit a second layer of Hello Darling polishes but where's the fun? It's nice to see all the colours at one go!

The Glamour Flip Top Makeup Storage box can be purchased from The Makeup Box Shop. Thank you so much for picking me as the very very lucky winner. I am really so grateful. And honestly I am going to jump up now and do a moon walk to pick my nail polish colour!

  4. What a gorgeous box! I'm still lusting after one, but it's a little exxy because I don't think my makeup will fit in it. :P

    I love that it's clear and you can see through it to exactly what you're after. And I agree, it's nicer to have one layer instead of two! :)

    Congrats again!

    1. Yeah it was me! :) :)

      The Dior GWP was from Singapore Dior. I'm not sure how much my mum had to purchase but back then she was using the top end Prestige range skincare so a jar is pretty much one storage case I guess! :O

  6. Congrats on winning :)

    I've been lusting after these for so long but the price puts me off as I'd need about 5 of them to store all my makeup.

    Maybe if I ask for one for each special occasion....hahaha

    1. You'll need a large wheelie samsonite hardcase for your nail polish I think. LOLLLL :)
      But seriously this changed a lot! I have everything in sight and I feel more inspired to use things!

  12. How lucky are you to win one!!! I love mine and I don't regret getting it. Saves so much time having everything in one place instead of hidden away in dark drawers.

    1. You can organise the drawers however you want depending on what you have. The last drawer is the largest for taller items but I layed it down flat. I have seen people store 2 rows of loose face powder containers in that drawer.
