My MUJI Makeup Storage

A couple of weeks ago, I decided to check the Muji website to see if they had any of the acrylic storage units available. To my surprise, the 5-drawer units were in stock! Since the maximum that they allow you to put in your cart are only 2 units, i purchased two. I have been anticipating for the arrival of these storage units, and today they arrived!

I was very pleased to see the bright red sticker that said "FRAGILE" and the massive tons of bubble wrap. I knew my items were handled with care and were well protected through the delivery process. Lining the box's inside was thick bubble wrap and surrounding the two individual wrapped units, were bubble wrap layered three times around each unit.

Once all the bubble wrap was removed, a beautiful clear acrylic 5-drawer unit appeared. I inspected the acrylic from every angle, and was very pleased with the quality. I quickly unwrapped the second unit, and brought them into my room to begin filling them.


Since the Muji units are made to be stackable, I decided to stack them on top of each other. On the bottom of each unit, there are rubber stoppers on each corner, to prevent sliding. I began filling each drawer with makeup products and this is what it looked like, once I finished.

Since the drawers aren't very deep, I could only store my smaller makeup products. However, I do enjoy that the drawers are shallow, because I don't like to stack my makeup. I find that when I stack my products on top of each other, many makeup products get overlooked or forgotten.


I love that I can see my makeup products and be able to get good use out of them. These drawers are amazing for storing face powders, blushes, lipsticks, lipglosses, single eyeshadows, concealers, and other smaller products.

To give you some idea of how big each drawer is, the picture above is an example. I stored some of my face/cheek products in this drawer and was able to fit 7 of them. On the Muji.us website they do offer deeper drawered units, and smaller units. The two units I have are called Acrylic Case 5 Drawers and their dimensions are 10.2 x 6.9 x 6.3". They are priced at $23.90 per unit. Unfortunately, all of the clear acrylic units are out of stock at this time, from high-demand.

I do plan to do a giveaway with these units, once they are in stock. So please stay tuned and thanks for stopping in. I hope this post was helpful to you. Do you own any Muji units? Please share and comment below:
