DIY Makeup Brush Holder

Good Morning my beautiful readers! I have a fun little DIY project that you are going to love! It's multifunctional and cheap to make. I know the struggle of buying tons of makeup brushes and wanting to store them without any damage being done to the bristles. You want to keep those brushes in pristine condition and have them right at your fingertips. Sometimes those store-bought makeup brush holders are small or don't provide the right shape to hold certain brushes.

Since I am a huge candle collector I always have tons of candle holders leftover. Some are so beautiful, I can't get my self to through them out. Realistically some of these candles can cost up to $25 and if you are anything like me, you can burn that entire candle in one day! I love to recycle my items and make sure I get the most use out of everything.

The best candles to re-use are the round glass containers from Bath & Body Works. Once the candle is completely gone I can peel off the outer label very easily without any residue. Then I took a butter knife and chipped away any excess wax and also the metal left behind from the wicks. After everything is emptied out, I make sure to scrub the entire glass holder with soap and warm water.

Next, I ran out to Michael's and picked up glass filler beads. The great thing about these glass holders is that you can choose any color beads you want! I decided to go with these beautiful gold and orange glass filler beads. I bought the biggest bag and was able to fill up two glass holders.

And lastly, just start putting your makeup brushes into the glass filler beads and it will be able to hold all of them up. It's a beautiful decoration for your vanity, but also a great place to hold those makeup brushes and keep them in wonderful condition. I feel so satisfied that I got the most out of my money with these candles! (By the way these were the Paris Amour candles and that scent is by far the most romantic and sweet scent I have ever smelled!!)

So enjoy those candles and make sure you get the most out of those glass holders! Your vanity will thank you <3

Ciao!!!!

How I Decorate My Vanity

So every girl knows that her vanity is her little space for her to make herself feel pretty and girly. Growing up I was always a very organized and clean young girl, which stayed pretty consistent as I got older. I've always felt it was very necessary to organize all my items exactly where they need to be. I try not to clutter my vanity and have found some cute things to spruce it up and keep everything organized. Okay fine I'll admit it.....I have OCD haha not even joking I get anxiety when my things are not clean and organized in their perfect little spot! Oh well I guess it could be worse!

I purchased my vanity from IKEA. It is actually a computer desk, but I loved the glass top and how it was narrow. I'm thinking of spray painting the frame white because I'm not sure I like the dark color too much. A glass top vanity or table is great because it gives the illusion of making a small room look bigger.

I hung my mirror on the wall as a DIY vanity. If doing this here is a little word of advice, give yourself room between the bottom of the mirror and the top of your vanity. This way you can sit other things on your vanity without it blocking anything or looking cluttered.

I wanted to have all of my favorite lip products right at my finger tips so I found an acrylic organizer at my local Walgreen's and have loved it!

I actually made my makeup brush holders from old Bath & Body Works candles. Once they were done I just scraped the excess wax out and cleaned it up. I bought the glass filler beads from Michael's Craft Store and wanted to choose a color for the beads. It's really great to re-purpose old materials that you have laying around.

So of course every girl has her ginormous stash of makeup and beauty products...well where's a girl to store all of her stuff?! I found a really nice 10-drawer organizer online at Wal-Mart. I liked it because it had frosty white drawers to go with my room. I store all of my products in there. I am getting ready to replace it though because it is not extremely sturdy and sometimes it is difficult to get the drawers in and out. For right now is does the job though!
