The Ultimate Lipstick Holder (DIY Coming Soon)

[cydangie]

where did you get the organizer? I cant get on your blog link

[beauty0riot]

reallly want the grid on its own... dont know where to get one, i live in the UK!?

[TheLoveSiren]

spray paint it :)

[mangp]

limited edition lipsticks.... AND YOU DONT USE IT?!

[anneliseferreira7]

Bought me a fishing carry case and covered it with stickers - holds lots different make up... :)

[LaLaitsLandry]

lmao these are stupid. I could use a freakin' shoebox and buy one of those 99 cents pens/pencils case I use to get as a kid for the lipsticks.. >__>

and I could definitely MAKe that plastic crap....

so lady, you got ripped off. BIG TIME.

[gennuhfurr]

You should return it. It doesn't look like it's worth $15.

[Superkawaii21]

Do Urban Decay lipsticks fit in the case? they have the sword thing!

[ShesThe1yup]

HELLO KITTY stickers allllllllllll the way... lol

[TheJnervous]

Looking forward to seeing your DIY! I made a lipstick box a while back, using a photo box, and cardstock. It worked out quite nicely, but it's not perfect.

I wish I could find the 60 organizers again. I could really use another one :-(

[danadhorace]

I found a great site for makeup holders. I'm going to order some and then do a video on them. azardisplays is the site

[candycane19]

:( your face just couldn't hide the dissapointment. I like the alternatives that Koren has for lipstick storage way better.

[SoniaMiroshkhina88]

i dont like the first one , it's looks too cheap!!!

[aliceinloveland]

i <3  your background !!

[sk8ingchamp]

I'd say you got ripped off.....If you paid $5 or $10, then you would have gotten a good price. Of course, what you did with that grid thing worked rather nicely.

[sk8ingchamp]

I'd say you got ripped off.....If you paid $5 or $10, then you would have gotten a good price.

[sultrydoll]

organization yes! pretty....like you said not so much. I was just shaking my head like oh come on they could have made it pink!

[shrgal]

I agree it's not all that appealing but if you wanted to try to salvage what you bought by making it pretty you could add pretty Scrapbooking paper to the box container and maybe try to glue gun gems to the plastic one??

[guineawheat]

Sadly... I think you got ripped off. Yeah it's functional, but they overcharged for that hunk of plastic. Love your videos though! :)

[CoraLovesKoney]

I don't like it when you're reviewing a product without having used it first. These bids where you open a product for the first time are kind of a waste of time because they are not very informative. This is more of a haul video, nit a review, not a how-to.

[nakiestona]

Aww I'm sorry its all pretty ugly and you got ripped off :( you should see if you can return it.

[crazyp3rs0n]

that thing looks like you paid too much for it. Almost like they got it from the dollar store....

[lastchancetodazle]

I just found my new christmas present for the bestie :)

[elizamarie1999]

gosh you are so picky!!!! love what you have!

[Tribanx]

Thanks for the review. I had been thinking of getting one of those but wasn't sure. Now I can make a more informed decision about where to spend my money, and if this would be right for my uses. Thank you!!!

[miryamtg]

hi! what´s your lipstick? thanks! :)

[juciycouturre07]

can you do a tutorial on your makeup in this video and every day makeup???????????

[butercupeh]

i bought a rifle shell carry case. has a lid and handle. bought the one with the biggest slots..it works great!

[pursebuzz]

@butercupeh YES!! Omg I got some tweets about that idea and I love it!!!! I just need to find a gun store now :D 

[missy85363]

@pursebuzz Try Walmart or a Cabella's

[sportbragger]

ok, 1st thing people shud noe is that every1 has their opinion. So no need to gang up on them and say upsetting things. 2nd, Dittaa17 wasnt commenting on elessa. She was trying to point out to viewers how can they have so much lipstick, when they supposedly arent professional make up artists'. She just said that, cuz so many comments were like oh i want one.. so ya... try to read and think about it b4 you judge... after reading the comments she hasnt said anything bad..elessa seems to agree to.

[jubidzz]

omg how many lipsticks you have! I have two and don't even use them :):):)

[doubtingthomas6042]

I love your videos, but your intro is super annoying. :(

[mrsbuhagiar]

I think I like the box...it protects lipsticks from dust :-)

[SunriseOnTheEasts1de]

you should just take the grids out of the plastic boxes and use them in the cardboard box and then use the plastic boxes for hair stuff or something

[dittaa17]

@pursebuzz elessa, i'm very very sorry what I just said, but I wasn't talking about you! you're the best and I love all your videos so i'm very sorry :/

[pursebuzz]

@dittaa17 :) Its ok I don't think you said anything bad. <3 Have a great weekend luv!

[dittaa17]

oh my gosh guys, you know that i'm totally not talking about elessa! YOU said that YOU need this holder too or wow it's good-and I think you're not all makeup artists...so, relax

[wamu2323]

wow srsly? why would u waste ur time doing a video on a product u havent even seen before or like. you just pretty much wasted five minutes of my life. until u got to the point saying "i dont really like this product"

[xMarea]

limited edition lipsticks that u dont use? i mean why ppl buy lpsticks that theyre not going to use ever? i dont get it .. lipsticks have an expiration date ffs. i rather buy a BOOK than a "special or limited edition" lipstick

[TheCableProductions]

Is there a specific reason you store your lipsticks upside-down?

[ghdz1984]

@TheCableProductions to see the name of the lipstick....

[mpegany]

@TheCableProductions maybe to read the name of the color?

[narutoloverz95]

@TheCableProductions

It helps you find which colour of lipstick you are looking for.

Cause then you can just read the labels [=

[hannahbananasalmon]

that would be SUCH a good nail polish holder! :)

[pursebuzz]

@hannahbananasalmon They make grids for polish too!! I want it!

[WatchYourAttitude]

@hannahbananasalmon there are also very nice racks for nail polish. you can hang them on your wall. looks really fancy if you have a lot of polishes.

[fccty1]

r u a makeup artist in real life? if not what do u do?

[Vindicated15]

Where did you find the grid on the site?!

[Lostlove077]

You could have just used a shoe box instead. I would return it if I were you. Looks flimsey :/

[LadyD3L]

dont miss out the GIVEAWAY i am having only a FEW HOURS LEFT! dont missssss it!!!! =] thank you!

[equus418]

I think the plastic is called acetate but I'm not 100% sure.

[janekjh523]

ahhh wat a sucker...waste of money. im not calling u sucker btw...the box.

[JENKINST0613]

do you think you might come to the DC area for the certification class?

[pursebuzz]

@JENKINST0613 Yes I hope so.. or at least close to the area. We want to travel all over :)

[iceyrokr]

Where did you get ur last lipstick holder?

[selenagWOWP]

How much did the shipping and handelling cost? :D

[MouseChirpy]

Thanks for sharing. I appreciate your reviews and honesty about products. This really helps the rest of us make informed purchases.

[cheese123ese]

Can you do a review and Smashbow makeup???

[allielmt]

You are so cute! I love how you could totally tell your not really into it and you keep trying to find the good things about the order :)

[Bonitachikita003]

I think, rather then spending $4 on a card board box, you can use a shoe box~

Unless the grid wont fit.

[inezzitah9]

do you have some kind of image projector in your room so you can change backgrounds? love the video :D ***

[ChicReal]

Not crazy about the lipstick holder either....but it's handy just to store lipsticks you no longer use often and stash away. Otherwise, it does serve its purpose. Btw, you look really tired in this video, Eleeza. Hope you're doing well hun. :)

[bridgetxalexis]

can't wait for the diy(:

[DeeDoesMakeup]

I so need this honey I have so many lipsticks & need something better to organize them all.Thanks for sharing:)

[jackeetm]

I have 2 of those and they are great! You can definitely make them yourself though!

[asmajlovic1237]

The ultimate lipstick holder??? You sure are saying some negative things

[blakkandi]

Thanks for sharing

[SazzyIsSnazzy]

@RyanSpencer83 Uh ok I wasn't being rude so you need to relax.

[SazzyIsSnazzy]

@RyanSpencer83 You're not a makeup artist. All you need are colors that suit you and your own skin tone. Makeup artists work on all different people so they need all different shades.

[PlusSizeKimonica]

Please tell me why do people care so much about what others spend their hard earn money on.. I could see if she was spending your money...I would not care if she spent 5000.00 on a box, it's her money and now its her box loll..gezzz..comments like that make me so mad...b/c this is what youtube is all about sharing and reviews.

[ddesdemona]

wow.. that box is also sooo laud!

[shewillvideo]

i like ikea lipstick holders better

[googleflex]

They look horrible. I wouldn't like to buy that

[GiGGly666]

Why don't you all leave dittaa alone? That's their opinion and pursebuzz already answered why. Leave the poor person alone, cause besides makeup artists and such most people shouldn't own too many lipsticks or they'll become like my step sister who owns enough to last her a life time.

[eaudeparfumetlove]

I like how you respond so nicely to people who make really rude comments on your videos. Personally, I think your videos are amazing! Keep it up :)

[ans0x]

@RyanSpencer83 The comment was rude because the girl told her "you can't spend your money for something more useful?? like a BOOK or something! Pff" . As long as Elessa can think herself what she wants to spend her money on, I think it's judgment, not statement of opinion. The other part was okay, she was just telling that it was not functionnal for her, which is normal because 6 lipsticks don't take that much space! :) just saying.

[JadoreLadyGaga4Life]

your vids are looking so professional do you edit them your self and do you use HD

i love you vids !!!

xxxx :D

[ninmindy]

hmm i wonder if i bought a few grids and trimmed them to fit a smaller cuter container... :-)

[cc112702]

It seems very do it yourself, I think enkore has a great DIY tutorial for lipstick holders. Thanks for the review, I know not to buy this.

[Girliciiiious]

are you gonna return it?

[ParkParks93]

I love your videos and I love how calm your responses are to some of the idiotic comments on here! :) xx

[sakuraness]

These lipstick holders are so expensive for what you get. I`ve been so dissapointed in the past so I`m really excited to see your DIY holder!

[biggestbimboever]

i miss your older video`s :(........ like the hair tutorials and diy stuff :( please make them again? :)

[pursebuzz]

@biggestbimboever please go back to this past monday.. you can see my latest hair tutorial :)

[envyangel120]

total rip- off

[FunkyKitty9099]

Whats up with the mouse in the backround xD i keep thinking its mine. love the vidoe!

[CityandNoColor]

i love how well you take criticism/hate comments.

shows you have a higher maturity then most people

keep doing your videos :) you are simply amazing

[prettyinpunk666]

$4.25 for a cardboard box?!? That's ridiculous.

Could you possibly pretty please do the measurements of the box/grid so that those of us who want to buy the grid could possibly find a better/prettier box that would fit the measurements of it?

[blahKesha4]

What if you dont have lipstick?

I dont have any because I never really liked it. I like lip gloss or chap stick.

[Cherry8678]

@blahKesha4 ya me too i do have lots of lipstick but i have like 30 lipglosses!

[MySwirlss]

hey lovely don't mind the haters. Can I please get you to see my  new videos? I'm not as pretty as you are though!

[IsabelLovee]

i have a lipstick holder thing. it's simple but looks very cute. it's like a stronger plastic i guess? and it's clear and can hold lip stick and lip gloss in any height. i just don't remember where i got it. x[

[beaaa0125]

I don't like how big the grids are too, I'd get really annoyed with all the lipsticks shaking around every time I carry the case and whatnot. Thanks for the review though, at least now we know the pros and cons :)

[pinkedelweiss]

are you wearing eyeliner on your upper lid???I love the look you have on your eyes, I like that it's not very dramatic.

[espeon376]

return it it looks like a peice of crappppp

[PEEPSaPLENTY]

Thats the dumbest thing in the world return that shit.

[redroseprny405]

Watch makeupgeek storage video and she haves the same thing and she does a trick so all her lipstick stick If you want to watch lol

[stupitlovey]

for a cheaper and better made one, you could go to micheals or your local craft store, and get a similar plastic container in diffrent colors, and there nicley made. and you can buy your own better-made grids, all for around 5 bucks :)

[xxremix1]

i would return that first box thing if i were you, it looks very cheaply made and flimsy. i bet you are thinking "this is a piece of sh#$!".

[Princess8228]

no offence but in my opinion u hav got ripped off. =(

[wyldcherry]

I'd return it. 

[Sumsel]

i really like your make up here! it complements your skin/haircolour. its pretty!

[pursebuzz]

@dittaa17 well if you have frosty red, sheer red, matte red, reddish pink, red with blue base, and then red with orange base that is 6 reds right there :D

[dittaa17]

@pursebuzz i know that somebody thinks that a lipstick can be more useful than a book so i don't want to hurt anybody...

and the other thing that i don't know what's the difference between a sheer red and a matte red :D

[terrazas0809]

@dittaa17 buy a book & find out.

[dittaa17]

@terrazas0809 haha very funny

[adori66]

@pursebuzz YOU are SUCH a positive person!!! you go out of your way to give us feedback on stuff you buy on your own so we can make a more educated buy! I'm reading the 'hater' comments on here and your responses are always so upbeat and NICE!! I don't think i could be that nice if I were you!

[YayImRoz]

@pursebuzz but shurely they cant look that different that you'd be ok with spending loads of money on them

[beaaa0125]

@dittaa17 she's a makeup artist, obviously she'd have that much...

[dittaa17]

@beaaa0125 heey i'm not talking about elessa because she's the best!

[snowdrop879]

@dittaa17 she's a makeup artist-_- so naturally she has a ton of makeup. if she was a professor or a teacher, she would have tons of books not makeup. this comment was pretty rude and you are lucky Elessa is sooo nice!

[cascadestars]

@dittaa17 Some people have a collection and/or work with makeup, way to be judgemental

[prettyinpunk666]

@dittaa17 well, you'd think that if she didn't have a job centered around makeup, she probably wouldn't have that many. So since she's making money because she has so much makeup, I'd say it is useful.

[ShelbizzleDuvizzal]

@dittaa17 Ahh, if you don't like seeing how much makeup she had then WHY are you watching these videos!? If you want to spend your money on more useful things such as books or "something", then do it. SHE doesn't want to, she want's to buy what she likes- makeup.

[thisisamorette]

@dittaa17 the makeup is for her job, a makeup artist.. maybe you should try to know someone before you judge them so harshly.

[hellovanillasnow]

@dittaa17 She does makeup as a side job too you know...She needs all the lipsticks for different reviews, photo shoots, bookings, etc.

[sakuraness]

@dittaa17 It`s a sad sad world when a girl only has 5 lipsticks! I can never have enough! lol

[Crescenciax]

@dittaa17 Why do you care? No one's forcing you to buy a ton of lipsticks and if it makes someone happy to buy that stuff, then let them be. If you do make-up on people, obviously you're gonna need more than 5 or 6 lipsticks.

[sabz222]

@dittaa17 its totally upto her how many lipsticks ahe wants and how she wants to spend her money?!

[larsonwendy24]

@dittaa17

Have you considered that some of us are beauty bloggers and makeup artists?

You can't spend your opinion on something more useful?

[larsonwendy24]

I'd send that lipstick holder back. It looks like it wants to break.

[projektbrot]

@dittaa17 define 'useful', einstein. and tell me who authorized you to bash her. besides, she is a pro makeup artist. she is supposed to own that much makeup. or do you think monet or van gogh owned only 5 colours? very grey and narrow-minded world you live in, i must say. kudos.

[YayImRoz]

@dittaa17 i totally agree, its pure madness.

[turtlesarecoolicles]

@dittaa17 a book is so useful. pfttt. ;p

[SazzyIsSnazzy]

@dittaa17 Make up artists need a lot of different shades for their profession. It doesn't mean they don't read...relax.

[whalewatcher321]

@dittaa17 hmm......you probably need the book entitled "How to not be rude to people."

[redheadgonebad]

@dittaa17 i don't like books, but I LOVE lipstick!!! :D

[ocean3684]

@dittaa17 make up is like a form of art. thats like telling an artist they have too many shades of paint and to go waste there money on something that is useful to you and not them..

[vanessam8652]

The large Caboodle looks better but it only holds 28 lipsticks

[EmberflyLayouts]

the background is really distracting.

[xoxocynthia967xoxo]

i got something just like this at micheals lol:)

[hollistar38]

You got ripped off. That case was garbage and why would you spend twenty five dollars on a piece of cardboard. You could have easily made one of those yourself and just bought maybe the grid thing

[pursebuzz]

@hollistar38 I didn't pay $25 for card board. I paid under $5 :D I agree that the grids are great. But if I didn't buy the box how would we have known it was not good. Thats why we have these reviews :)

[kateyaya]

@pursebuzz wow i can't believe how sweet you are when you respond to such negativity=D just proves how awesome you are

[bebeefcukk]

@pursebuzz I love how you take criticism and never freak out over them, but you remain calm and polite.

[dianasaez1208]

dustyohunter has a channel and it shows how to make do it yourself containers for dazzleglasses check it out

[MsElefantiS]

First I thought that the mouse in the backgroud was my own mouse and got confused when it didn't want to move...

[miaandmakeup12]

@MsElefantiS lmao omg me too! i was like wait wtf!!!!!

[MsElefantiS]

@miaandmakeup12 Good that it wasn't just me then... :P

[lilacs6lolita]

you buy the most unnecessary stuff lol like that other person said, you can make it at home. and def not worth it for $15. >_>

[x3mitsukii]

You're so honest! Not only with your words but expressions as well. It's nice, ahaha.

[diana902790]

Why dont u do a makeup collection video? thanks for this tip btw!

[Hannah41511]

You should take out the styrofoam so they arent so high

[comeagainjenn]

@ghengisgilbert then don't watch :)

[aelievense]

This thing is pretty cool, true it doesn't look amazing, but weren't you the guru who used Oreo sleeves to keep your blushes?  I know a pack of Oreos doesn't cost $14.95, but I think the box serves it's purpose well.

But I bet after this video, some company will come out with something functional and beautiful. After my three years watching YT makeup videos, it always seems to work out that way :-) Didn't it seems like forever until someone came out with the Uni and Zpalette?

[sonjiya]

i'm kinda disappointed there was no handle on the case or that the lid didn't snap! :S maybe you can buy more of those grids and size them to a prettier container that you may already have! and btw i love the background, makes me want that bright pink lipstick!

[GeminiAGogo]

I think you should return it :( maybe just buy the insert

[ghengisgilbert]

I don't think I would dislike your intro so much if you inserted it at a more appropriate moment in your videos. You always just interrupt yourself with your intro while you're talking, and it's super annoying. It would be great if you could plan the timing out better.

[steffanii]

i do this too! except i made my own grid with sturdier cardboard-plastic-y-like things that you can cut to the length you like. great buy!

[angijuan]

i'd be furious if i spent $15 for the lipstick box you should return it !! :) it looks so cheap and the thing that separates the lipsticks is awful.

[TheKajol1996]

I found lipstick holders at the container store for a cheaper price

[smithvanness]

I like your makeup look here!! Would it be possible see a makeup tutorial for the look?

[Aoifxxx]

Haha, when you lifted out the dividers it suddenly looked like I was watching a video about a physics experiment or something about genetics or something, with the see-through grids. :)

[bingo0121]

You could use the grid but get one of the cute colored boxes from Walmart or ikea :-)

[kjnboston]

For the life of me I do not know why these types of products are so hard to find...I and so many others I am sure would be willing to pay for something nice(that worked) but you can not often find NICE things that help you keep your make up organized so you end up using the oddest things.. .its crazy.

[MsJuneDay]

My lipsticks stand up in a cardboard box that use to hold hardware nails haha. Every time I buy a new one, I move out a chapstick or unloved product to be demoted to a plastic basket. I like the 3.25 inserts. It would work great in the drawer I already use :) Thanks for the video!

[makeuplover1226]

I think if you pay $15 for a lipstick holder + shipping it should be CUTE :) Good idea but I think that the company should have put more effort into the boxes design.

[girlintrouble2]

I was lookining for these boxes but didnt manage to find one, but I think its important for things to look nice so if I dont absolutley love it Id send it back. No point filling up your home with things you dont like. Thanks for sharing.

[betweenthebeautifull]

I hate when plastic containers like that which are handy are so over priced. That sucks!!

[nuklear7]

@purse buzz - take the hinge off, and use it as a table top, freestand storage. decor as will, but that lid is going to end up pissing you off...

good luck, thanks for the heads up, and keep the reviews coming :)

[RoZekria]

The first acrylic lipstick holder you held up. Where did you get that from???

[tragedijairena]

seems like a waist of money. u can deff get cheaper or just make ur own at home using a plastic box....

[snoopiepapu]

HI Elessa - I have to admit I was confused because the video was called ' The Ultimate Lipstick Holder' but you didn't seem too happy with your purchase...

Still love all your videos!! :-)

[RukiaFujioka]

I wish I had enough lipsticks to be able to make use of one of these.

[RockinThaSoLows]

biggest waste of money i have ever seen. besides a JB CD

[VidsByMetz]

You could try to find a nice box that will fit the dividers and just use that instead?

Thumbs up so she can see!
