I'm not a neat person but I'm fond of organising my stuff. It's mainly for the ease of using especially in the morning. From the accessories cabinet 2 years ago, to the cosmetics organiser I self-created recently... do save me quite a bit of time. I've also done a mani/pedi box.
Initially I was looking at getting one of those professional train cases. Too bad I didn't get one when I made frequent trips to Bangkok previously as it's much cheaper there. Saw one @ I NUOVI but gosh.... S$398 for a big one & S$298 for a smaller version! Of course I'm not going to pay so much for 1. I'm no professional makeup artist, so I don't see the need to pay so much. Then, was about to order one online... only US$40 for a good size. But the shipping cost turned out to be triple of the item~ at nearly S$200! Perhaps due to the weight & the dimension. The last one we happened to come across was at a pushcart in Causeway Point - S$120. Hubby offered to get me as Christmas present but after some thoughts, I decided to opt to DIY.

Voilà! A nice home for my cosmetics!
A closer look.
Got this transparent drawer from Howards Storage World which is meant for shoe storage. Also bought 2 clear holders (they're actually soap/toothbrush holders) there as well as 2 more from Daiso.
Total costs>> less than S$40 and totally match our glassy concept! I'm quite impressed with myself in fact, haha.
My mani/pedi box... It's actually a tool box from DIY shop - Home Fix.
The nail polish here are those I use regularly.Have another box that stores similar quantity but used only once in a while.
These are the rewards of a few trips of window shopping & surveying hubby & I had made :)
