My makeup collection is steadily growing and I desperately need more storage to "house" my goodies.
Ikea Alex drawers are very popular among bloggers and youtubers. I like the 9 drawers but think it is just a bit too much. I don't want to encourage my "hoarding"habit any more than I am doing currently.

Alex drawers from Ikea
When I was searching it online a few days ago in the US website, it says it is out of stock. Currently, Michael's is having 40% off their storage sale. In U.S. it is approximately $45. In Canada, regular price is $119.95 and with the 40% off, it is $71.97.

I just bought this yesterday! Haven't put it together yet because I'm not handy like that so I'm gonna have my husband help me with it. Seems like it'll be good storage for our makeup hoard!

the drawer is such a sweeter deal in US! I assembled this myself and it is not as hard as I thought it would be :)
Deletei have a "melmer" already but it's a bit smaller. i kinda need another one for all my polish. whoops!
ReplyDeleteWant to see your polish collection :) Craft store is my new place to shop for storage ideas now.
DeleteVery nice, I am in desperate need of more storage too, in fact today I was trying to get rid of old products that I no longer use. I like these drawers but the issue I am having is trying to find them in black to match the decor of my room. My furniture is black wood and the room has accents of silver and grey.
ReplyDeleteI think Ikea drawers come in a dark grey but not black. I like to get rid of products once in a while to make room for new ones :)
DeleteI am looking for storage for my makeup too, this could be a good choice!
ReplyDeletethis drawer set is a decent one. Don't expect top quality though but for storing makeup, I think this one does the job.
DeleteThis looks great! My car isn't big enough to bring stuff back from Ikea. So, it becomes quite a big deal to convince someone with a larger car/truck to drive a few hours, and then bring all of my purchases back. I love that I can just go down to Michael's for this!
ReplyDeletethis box would fit in your car for sure. I don't have an Ikea near me and I'm glad Michael's got this fabulous dupe. As knowing my luck, if I drive to Ikea and get one home, there would be missing parts from the box and I would have to make a second trip there. This is pretty easy in assembling as well.
DeleteOh wow I didn't know they had dupes! This one looks pretty darn similar too. I could use more storage, but I don't like hiding my things away, because I'll never use them, lol!
ReplyDeleteyes, this is a pretty close dupe. Now that I know where everything is, I got to rediscover a few things that were hiding at the back of my drawers before.
DeleteGreat idea! I'm storing in those plastic drawers/containers right now but this looks much better, will consider...
ReplyDeleteI was going to get the plastic drawers but thought this would be look much nicer. Now that everything is kind of organized, I can see where everything is and even rediscovered a few products I have overlooked in the past.
DeleteOoohh that's definitely a good dupe! I'm not going to let my collection get that much bigger anymore I think haha.

I had the same thought before but now I have more room, every time I buy new products, I can justify by saying yes, I have room for that now haha.
Deleteomg i need one !

this one is definitely a good deal when you catch it on sale. Probably not as well-made as the Ikea one but for storing makeup, this one is decent enough.
