awesome Bags4Bubbles!!! are those clear drawer organizers from the Container Store? i think i am gonna get those until i can afford a Clear Cube. and because the clear cube could take up to 8 weeks to get!

my vanity table is 47.25" wide (IKEA Malm) and the Vanity Girl Hollywood Starlet wall-mounted mirror i am purchasing is 34" wide. if i center it, 1 of the container store clear drawers will fit perfectly on each side. i think it will be perfect!

i am hesitant to even get the clear cube bc it is 12" wide and i will have to NOT center the vanity mirror. :( i have total OCD about symmetry when it comes to designing and organizing. i may have to just suck it up and have it off center.

Thanks! :tup: Yup, the organizers are the ones from The Container Store. I actually really like them! I got them as "temporary" organizers until I could get the MUJI ones, but I'm liking them so much that I don't think I'm going to mind using them for a while. Eventually I think I might like something a little bigger on each side, so them I thought once I get something bigger/get MUJI ones that I could use these in my bathroom to organize things in there.

that is so great! honestly, with my current collection...i don't think i need anything more than 2 of those and the drawer in the Malm vanity. i would love to have a clear cube eventually but i guess it'll save me $300 if i settle for now.

My muji drawers came today. I ordered 2 of the two drawer with the lid on the top that opens. Very good quality but I am disappointed in how shallow they are. I was hoping they'd be a bit deeper so I could stack say, some of my MAC creme color bases two high, but I can't shut the draw that way.

For anyone that's interested, the draws on the muji are an 1 1/2" deep while the clear cubes draws are 2" deep.

I have a lot of make up so I think I'm just gonna have to splurge and get the clear cubes.

Thanks for measuring, that's good to know. Did you get the large size?

I was thinking the MUJI drawers would be a little bit deeper so that I could have NARS blushes sitting up right (as to thumb through them?) - but I just went in and measured, the drawers that I already have are 2" deep. The Nars blushes are just about 2 1/4" - so that definitely wouldn't work with the MUJI either. Hmmm.

^^ way not lay them flat and upside down, so you can read the names?

Yeah, that's a good idea - I can just flip them over and leave them stacked. It's not that big of a deal right now because I only have 3 of them, so I know what order they are in. I was thinking of getting a few more, so I just had in my head to keep them more in a line - I can probably just do two rows of them stacked up though. :smile1:

Bags!! I love your setting!! It looks so organized!!! How do you like Benefit Dallas? It is one of my favorites!!

The Container store boxes keep growing on me!!!

Thanks! I'm loving it! I am actually really liking the Container Store boxes, decent quality (not as thick an acrylic as MUJI though, I'm sure) and very easy to use.

I LOVE Benefit Dallas! I use it basically everyday and in fact I'm almost out of it, I need to go pick up another one sometime this week or next. I actually use it under my cheek bone & chin to create a shadow to *ahem* make my face look a little thinner... :graucho: And then use a regular blush on my cheekbone. I feel like it works, the first time I started doing it I actually went to lunch with a friend I see regularly and she asked me if I had lost some weight! :nuts: (I hadn't, LOL!)
