I store my makeup in Muji acrylic drawers too! I also got an elongated “stationary holder” (for pens etc) for my makeup brushes, mascaras, eyeliners and I love it!

In reply to Vivi. there's another 2-tier which has deeper drawers so I might take a look at that. i have to keep a table mat on my dresser because of the oil residue issue too! it doesn't get absorbed into the mat, and it's much easier to wipe and wash the mat

I was just watching a youtube video on how awesome the Muji drawers are! Wish they were available in Australia. The ones we have here are really expensive!

I bought a drawer too and have the same comment. It’s too shallow so I can’t fit in some of my taller make-up pots.

But I like it better clear because lighting in my room is very bad. I need more light to peep through the drawers. I tried cutting some cloth but I’ve always been bad with scissors so I gave up half way, haha. Now, I keep the badly cut cloth under the table to wipe the shelves whenever there’s a lot of oil residue (since I use lots of oil in my skincare routine).

In reply to beetrice. it might work. but, when you decide to remove the stickers one day, they might stain?

I just had a random thought – since they’re acrylic, do you think you can paste things like those stick-on decals on them? Might be a nice way to dress it up (and reduce the transparency?)

In reply to rinnah. LOL why you think I started on mine? :P Besides, it's a good time to make use of that nice 10% discount at Muji going on now... *wink*
