Upon hearing that a Muji store had opened in the new
Emporium in the Melbourne CBD, I made it my mission to suss out the place and
see what all the fuss was about. I’d heard about Muji most from Anna (Vivianna
Does Makeup) and loved the clear and classic makeup storage ideas the store
presented. After heading to the luxury bridal expo a few weeks ago (amazing by
the way, highly recommend!) I dragged Mumma Bovary over to explore, and ended
up picking a simple little storage bit for my everyday makeup garb to replace my
‘daily’ tray which was overflowing.
Some of the compartments aren’t as big as I’d ideally like
them to be, but the storage section of the store didn’t look full so perhaps
there are better options usually available. The little inserts in the back part
slide out if you want to create more room, but I like the way they look when in
and find that it creates enough compartments for the daily things I need.
Starting from the back I have my Garnier
Moisture Match moisturiser and my Napoleon
Perdis Primer sample*, which is in there to remind me to trial the new
Wayne Goss foundation method.
The compartment next to that holds the two face bases I’ve
been using lately which are the Napoleon
Perdis Stroke of Genius* and Covergirl
Outlast foundation. Next up is my lip compartment, which houses some of
the lip products I’m using at the moment but definitely doesn’t fit the whole current
round up. The final small compartment holds my eye products like my mascara,
liners and eyeshadow base (Too Faced Shadow Insurance is the one I’m using
right now)
I have the bulk of my makeup stash in some cheaper metal
style storage units next to my desk. They are similar in idea to an Ikea Alex though not as lovely, but for
now they are doing me just fine and I’m enjoying having most of my stash filed
away neatly, with my Muji atop my desk with a mirror and some everyday perfume
beside it. The Muji only cost around $14 which I was happy to pay to give this store a go - I think next time I will pick up some of the containers around $25 which are larger and would fit more of my everyday stuff. If you want to know more about any of the products you see peeking out from the Muji, hit me up in the comments!
How do you store your daily makeup?
