How to organise you Makeup. Like you’re Kim Kardashian.

Being able to own a shit tonne of makeup & being able to locate that exact angled eyeliner bush at the same time seemed to be a luxury only the likes of Kim Kardashian could achieve.

Up until a couple of weeks ago, I thought I had makeup storage down to a fine art: throw it all in a sturdy cardboard box & rummage around until you pick something out. Something of a lucky dip for the face. Sometimes you’d actually get lucky, sometimes you’d end up resembling a somewhat manic clown.

& a lot of the time you’d pick out a bunch of shattered pressed powders & bent out of shape makeup brushes.

The whole box system was working fine until my boyfriend upended my whole box looking for hair wax (I don’t even have any) & probably food, when I realised that in that mess laying on the bed was about 90% of products I didn’t even know I owned.

& maybe a bunch of candies I had hidden in there & had forgotten about.

The Etiquette Of Beauty Organisation

Offering sizes for the modest makeup collection to a giant Dream Cube the makeup junkie, Ettica has pretty much all your makeup organisation sorted. Literally. I went for the Dream Cube myself, the biggest cosmetic cube they have on offer at a gargantuan 38 x 38 centimetres because I thought I had a lot of makeup to store. I may have overestimated by… a lot… This thing had my entire makeup collection sorted with a shitload of room to spare. But at least there’s room to expand my collection now, or even store some snack in there? I’m pretty sure it’s even bigger than Kim K’s famous makeup organiser.

Both Quality & Quantity

The Ettica Cosmetic Cube isn’t the flimsy kind of makeup organiser you’d find in stores at your local Kmart or Target. It’s heavy. So heavy that I had to wait for the postman to leave before attempting to struggle it into the house.

The acrylic they’re made of is thick & durable. But that doesn’t mean you don’t need to look after it. Abrasive surfaces can scratch acrylic easily so I bought some cheap non-slip matting ($3.50 for a meter) to sit in a couple of drawers where I put my brushes & where I keep sharp things like tweezers & nail clippers.

Ettica recommends a Novus polish kit to keep your cube in top condition, but even a mild soapy water mix & a lint free cloth will do the trick.

The Ettica cosmetic cubes even come with the option of dividers to take your cosmetic organising to the next level & a choice of drawer handles – original or bling?
