i've had my 'imitation clear cube' for a couple of months now and i love it. being able to see what i have is especially helpful to me as a person that has a tendancy to overbuy. if i keep everything closed up, i sometimes forget i even have it.

anyway this is just some of my makeup:

I love it! I'm looking for a not too expensive one. May I ask where you got this and how much it cost?

Fantastic setup! I have the same problem, I have stuff tucked away that I completely forget about and then go out and buy similar products. I really need something like this.

this is the one i got, from this same seller. i looked and looked for something cheaper but for the dimensions they are all going to be at least this much:

I actually really like it. I think the drawers may even be bigger than the CC. In the pics, it looks like you can stand up nail polishes in the top drawer and every drawer seems to be pretty deep. Although it doesn't have the double drawer on the bottom like one of the versions of the CC I like, overall, it looks like the drawer depth and height to each drawer is better than the CC!

I use several storage things for my makeup. Its all in one area but I have them in different storage containers that i've bought over the years. I bought some from target and some from the container store. I have 1 large white plastic storage 3 draw set, 1 medium blue plastic storage 3 draw set, 1 small green plastic storage 3 draw set. The large draws have most of my makeup in it. The top draw are all eyeshadows, the middle draw has mostly eye liners, mascaras, lipliners and my eyeshadow sets (like the urban decay palettes and several other small palettes). The bottom draw has mostly face stuff like foundation, blush, concealer, bronzer. Then I have the medium strorage draws. Most of the makeup in these draws are either new or my favorite mac products. The small storage set has most of my nail polishes in it. I will be needing another one soon though because its filled. I also have a mini nail polish holder that holds 9 nail polishes. I got it from the container store. I also have 2 lipstick holders that I got from the container store and each holds 12 lipsticks each. I have my bh, sephora and elf palettes on top of one of the bins because i have no place to put them right now. My brushes are in a glass cup that i decorated myself. I bought the cups from Pier 1 and I bought teal sand to fill it since I couldn't find the little beads for it. I have 2 brush cups. One for eye brushes and one for face brushes. I really wish I had room for a vanity so I can have my makeup elsewhere. Right now its on top of my short bookshelf. I guess it'll do for now.

I bought a CC a couple months ago and I love it!! I got the 4 drawer so I have the deep drawer on the bottom and it's wonderful. I think it is completely worth it and highly recommend it! I posted pics of mine in the Kardashian makeup storage thread but I'll take pics now that mine's filled up and post them in here soon.
