My thief-proof (and pretty) storage solution :]

[uh_oh_disco]

After repeatedly having my makeup goods stolen and trashed by my sister, my Dad gave me his old tool box. When people had suggested lockable tool boxes, I always envisaged the garden-green plastic ones with orange handles and fold out trays which are pretty darn ugly - plus I'd only just bought pretty tins and drawers for storing my makeup so I was annoyed that I'd have to resort to them if I wanted to be able to buy makeup and not have to worry about how long I'd actually have it.

So anyway, it's actually more like a set of drawers and work top than a traditional tool box, the lock in the top locks all of the drawers too :] I have my actual makeup in the smaller drawers and books, sketchbooks and magazines in the larger ones.

Me being a fool so you can see the size...




I highly recommend one for anybody else living with people who like to help themselves, or anybody who likes keeping their makeup stuff all in one place and neatly stored. I think these probably cost a fair bit, but they're worth the investment in the long run!

[MACLovin]

Nice! I bet its great to have everything in one place.. sucks for your sister though, haha.. no more dipping her hands into your makeup collection.. won't she be delighted.

[BinkysBaby]

I love it!

[mymakeuproom]

Love it. I might have to steal my hubby's.

[brokenxbeauty]

Whoa, what an awesome idea!

[hhunt2]

Haha, that's very cool. I love it!

Once you start getting tons more of makeup, up-grade to the tall tool box with wheels. lol

[uh_oh_disco]

glam8babe, I saw a black one in Halfords but I'm not sure how much it was. I reckon at the cheapest these would be about £100 since they're high quality and take quite a beating before they finally give in. Ones without locks would probably be cheaper.

MACLovin, it feels great! I retrieved a concealer from her room yesterday and couldn't help but grin as I locked it away :P

I need one of those... i have a 12 year old that loves to play with my makeup. I have been thinking of getting something that locks.

[Heiaken]

That's really pretty and conviniet

[Repunzel]

that's a great idea.i'm going to go to the hardware store and look for 1

Great Idea

[ratmist]

glam8babe, I tried to get one of these (a smaller one that would sit on my dresser/chest of drawers) and it was something like £50-£60 at Halfords. They come up on eBay a lot, but because they're so heavy, shipping is usually extortionate. I've seen them sometimes on Gumtree too.

[VDUB*BELLA]

This is a great idea!

[nunu]

great idea!!

[thelove4tequila]

Nice! I like how the top opens. I would so put up a mirror there.

[vividdreamer]

GREAT idea! My husband would totally try to steal it from me, though.

[stargirl01]

I need one so my little sister doesn't steal my lipstick like she did the other day. It came back all smashed up with holes in it and chunks missing -ewwww!

[GlossyAbby]

neat idea. off topic I LOVE ur pink room

[Phantom Goddess]

I love it!!! That is PERFECT for college students who have slippery roommates

[MzzRach]

How awesome is this?????

[VeXedPiNk]

What an awesome idea!! It's really unique and definitely theft-proof! I bet your sister is pretty upset!

[girloflowers]

OOOh I'm inspired. We're moving soon and since i may not have my own bathroom anymore (NOOOOOO) something like this would b ideal for my bedroom.
to bunnings hardware!

[Kiss and Makeup]
