Yesterday I introduced to you my new acrylic storage unit that the awesome peeps over at Glam Cubes have sent me and I also mentioned how long I’ve been lusting after an acrylic organiser. In the super long period of 3 years, I knew that I needed to get my hands on MY OWN box, that pesky little voice in my head just wouldn’t go away.
I then saw that Dischem had a cheaper version of the acrylic storage units and then the rest = history. I had someone track them down for me and sent it to me from JHB. As my makeup collection grew I needed another one and my second set of drawers were sent to me too. The price that I paid for my boxes were R100 per set of drawers and R70 for the lipstick holder on top. Kudos to Dischem for considering us budget girls.
I decided to stack them ontop of each other and give the impression of an entire unit. I think this was and still is such an affordable way of starting your acrylic organiser set when you can’t just fork out R2000 and even though I have my Glam Cubes, I’m still using my Dischem set.
While in the UAE I visited Ikea, the house of acrylic organisers but honestly it was way too expensive. I then visited Lifestyle. I wish I discovered Lifestyle in the earlier weeks of my holiday. In the Dec/January period, Lifestyle had a major sale but majority of their acrylic goodies were sold out (Murphy’s law). I however discovered this awesome little duo that I placed at the top of my Glam Cubes organiser (sorry I didn’t take a close up picture). It holds my face brushes and the other pump holder came in handy when a bottle of my handwash broke.
Put the 3 sets together and voila! My entire collection cost under R1000. No need to fork out thousands to have your own fancy smanchy makeup organisers.
In love with your storage! It is so beautiful, I really like the owl’s vase too ❤
Neat organizer! I have to keep mine hidden away so as not to trigger my bf’s OCD :s

Hehe Thanks Abby, Its the only way I can keep it organised because I used to throw all of them in a basket and I feared scratching in it so I ended up not using my makeup.
Love these! Always wanted a huge acrylic storage unit after I saw Kim and Kourtney’s on Keeping up with the Kardashians! LOL! So versatile and organized!
The Kardashian ones are so overpriced I had to settle for a more affordable one. I fell in love when I saw it on Keeping up with the Kardashians.
Haha! Me too!
Love the boxes from.dischem!! Do u know which store in jhb stocks them ?
