Makeup Storage Solution Options for a TRUE Beauty Junkie!

After writing this article for GalleryFemme.com on storage solutions and doing some research I have come to the conclusion I need to invest in beauty storage!

Here are my options....
This drawer set is from Ikea and costs approx $149.00. This seems like a great option if you have carpet however for me I want something a bit more portable so I can wheel it around my place as I have all hardwood.

The Advantus Corporation Cropper Hopper Home Center Rolling Cart, 10 Drawer Smoke found on Amazon.com and costs approx $49usd.  Downside to this is Amazon doesnt ship this item to Canada :(

HELMER Drawer unit on casters priced at $49.99 available in silver, red and white. 
This is great but a tad short (approx 2ft) for what im looking for. It is however the cheaper option and with a handy bf im sure I can think of a solution to make this taller.
 
MALM 6-drawer chest that costs $199.00 available in black/brown, birch, white & medium brown. I love the mirror up top and the multiple drawers, if I can find a decent spot for this in my condo I think this may be a good option to hold my items but again would prefer wheels.


So Im officially on the hunt to get my makeup stash organized! Do you have any of these units? Are there any decent ones out there I missed?


Pin It!

I was eyeing up the MALM Dressing table at IKEA yesterday actually, cause I just moved to Toronto and am looking for something to organize my mess. It has one drawer that goes along the entire length and glass top. Comes in black and light brown for.. $149. I may get it.

I have the HELMER from Ikea. I love it. It fits in my tiny tiny washroom with no problem since it is only 11" wide. I just love it...the best. I would get another in an instant.

I like the Cropper Hopper. Too bad they don't ship to Canada! Try looking at hair supply stores. I'm sure you could find something similar.

I have the IKEA Alex. I absolutely love it! The drawers are a perfect size and it keeps everything organized so well.

I like the first drawer set you posted. I have wooden floors too but I prefer mine without wheels since I have everything set up in my room (mirrors & lighting).
