The Makeup Box Shop - Giveaway!!!

This is like the mother of all giveaways.

You may have noticed the advertisement for The Makeup Box Shop on the right hand column, which will be there whilst this fantastic give away is up for offer. 

Katie from The Make Up Box Shop was so kind as to send me a large glamour box, to aid in the recovery of the hurricane that went through my make up collection. 

That hurricane was named Hurricane Mez. Every day it sweeps through, up earthing products and leaving debris all over the sink. 

I honestly did not actually realize how much make up and crap I actually have until I went through my cupboard and random bags to fill this little bad boy... I thought that as I don't wear much make up, I would not be able to fill it, but the cosmetics just kept on appearing, an t

But I am getting ahead of my self here. Let's start at the start, shall we?

I knew that the make up box was close to landing in my hot little hands when my email tracking showed it was in my area and I got a little bit too excited perhaps. 

What can I say though? I've wanted one of these for ages!! Excitement was to be expected. 

It arrived securely packaged in Styrofoam and plastic wrapping to keep everything in place, but let me tell you, that Styrofoam crap will be the death of me. I swear it flies.

I accidentally broke a few chunks in the fight to get the box out and the little white fluff crap went everywhere, and then when ever I would get close to it, with the intentions of wiping it up, it would fly far, far away. 

The wonder of Styrofoam when paired with the electrostatic charges from the acrylic box.

Who would have thought. Hours of frustration. 

Thanks Katie, you are a doll!

Hard to see its awesomeness due to the transparency of the acrylic nature, but it is far sturdier than expected.

I kind of expected it to be really light weight but it is actually really solid. 

The Glamour Box has the diamond shaped handles, opposed to the standard original box.  

Drawer 1:

I decided to put my more commonly used products in the top drawer for easy access, and it held everything that I need except for my large blush brush. 

The first four drawers are slim enough (3cm deep) that they don't fit the bulkier items, but everything else fits fine in them. 

Drawer 2:

Products that I don't use very often, but still good to have in easy reach. 

I feel like I need to do a slight make up cull. 

Drawer 3:

For somebody who only wears lip balm on a day to day basis, this is slightly concerning. 

It freaked me out that all of my lip glosses, lip sticks and lip liners fit perfectly without a struggle in the one drawer. Perfect fit, some might say. 

Drawer 4:

Basically, random products that only get used every blue moon, except for my Chanel compact which gets shown a good night on the town every so often. 

Drawer 5:

My trusty brushes, eyelash curler and brush shampoo are worthy of their own spacious drawer.

This drawer is 4.5cm deep, so my bronzer brush fits perfectly. 

Drawer 6:

By this stage, I was running out of stuff to store. Who would have thought.

Whilst the box does not look that big, it sure does fit a heck of a lot of crap. 

I thought that I would also take before and after photos of my medicine cabinet, as I took items out and added them to organizer, but I forgot to take photos of my dirty little make up bag. 

Don't worry though, you are not missing out on much.

This is the left hand side of my cabinet, in a split 'before and after' shot.

The right side of the cabinet in a split 'before and after' shot.

Much more organized, if you only look at the right photos! 

Awesome, right?! I don't have space in the bathroom for anything, so my box is sitting on my chest of drawers in our bedroom. It takes up no space at all and looks neat.

Now, for the best part about this post...
