My experience with makeup storage has been similar to my more extensive experience with scrapbooking & craft storage: things that are made specifically for that purpose are almost always going to be more expensive than another option. For my scrapbooking, I've bought the Sterlite drawers and tackle boxes and rolling carts for a lot cheaper than similar items made just for scrapbooking; for makeup, I've bought the same sort of things. (Although sometimes you find something that is just TOO CUTE and you cannot say no.....right?) Good luck with your quest!
