Easy DIY Makeup & Beauty Storage

23rd June 2016

Hey Loves

This is a post I’m quite excited to write as I love DIY and crafts I’m definitely one of these girls who finds lots of stuff and inspo on Pinterest, sometimes they end up Pinterest fails but not all the time LOL

I want to show you some of the stuff I’ve found and made that I use for some makeup and beauty storage, which is also easy and looks pretty cool if I do say so myself, I hope it’s s helpful to some, I get asked a lot about my storage so I thought why not do a post about it.

This picture has become quite popular and was featured on BuzzFeed in an article about beauty storage you can read it  here  any way this is just a cheap egg holder that I got from Tesco in the sale and I actually just added some gold detailing with a gold pen, so that it would match my theme and beauty room obviously (I’m gold obsessed) I was so fed up of losing my sponges or them rolling around on my desk so I thought this was a really easy way to store them, plus I think this looks so cute on my desk.

I like to collect mugs, glasses and jars and store my lip liners and some liquid lipsticks in I just think that way they look so tidy and are easier to reach for, some acrylic makeup storage can be so expensive and this is just a cool mug I found and loved it, plus I think it was under £5 so affordable and different to the standard acrylic storage, you can find so many slogan and quirky mugs now, or even make your own with a sharpie pen.

This is also another Mug I got from anthropologie, the famous monogram mug that comes out every Christmas, I had wanted this for over a year and finally managed to get one, I’m sure loads of you have seen these,  but I thought it looked so cute to use as storage, I’ve  seen people store makeup brushes in these as well, the list is endless.

And while I’m on the subject of mugs I also like to hunt around for glasses too, I found this in TKmaxx for £3 and knew I would use it for something, its got gold spots on and I loved it again it goes well with my theme, So I currently store these makeup brushes in this. I just liked the fact it was different.

F you’re looking for something to keep your palettes organised and tidy, well you need go buy a letter rack and then you can also jazz it up a bit and you have got yourself a stylish palette holder, I’ve  got two of these, one I spray painted gold and this one I left black but I had these magnets so I spray painted this also and added it to this, just because I’m weird like that, but I thought it looked pretty cute lol, this one I store my lashes and other random stuff in and my other one I store eyeshadow or z palettes in, it’s really handy and so cheap to do.

If you want something a little more stylish and unique but affordable? I’ve hopefully got that covered for you too, This I made all by myself and I’m actually impressed, it definitely looks like something MAC would charge a lot of money for. What I did is got a basic glass jar or whatever you have you want to use, I then used two different colours and sizes of vinyl using the MAC logo ( I own a vinyl cutting machine ) and then stick them together and you can add it to anything, I’ve  got 3 of these glass jars all different sizes and I love them, and get lots of complements , I actually like these  for keeping my MAC brushes in. The glass beads I found on Ebay, I wanted to leave the listing for you but it’s now disappeared.

next up is probably one of my favourites and is my DIY lipstick holders that are actually Ice cube trays can you believe it?? I found these in B&M home stores for £1.99 you get a pack of 2 and they fit all different sized lipsticks and liquid lipsticks in plus they also fit in the IKEA alex drawers perfectly which is a bonus! I’m not going to lie I got so excited over these ha ha.  I also think you can find different Ice cube trays for eyeshadows  and little items like that.

I think that is pretty much it, a lot of my other storage is bits and bobs I’ve found in tk maxx, home sense, and also ordered some acrylic storage from amazon and eBay. I love by allegory on amazon it’s not the cheapest but it’s really good quality. Also a little tip is to Make sure when you go to shops to check out the kitchen and bathroom departments as that’s normally where I find a lot of mine.

 

I always love to know what other people use so leave a comment below, or let me know if you decide to use any of my ideas, I also hope this post has been helpful and gives you some Inspiration to create your own storage.

 

Thanks for reading beauties

My Santa has been and John has only got me Dalmati My Santa has been and John has only got me Dalmatian print wrapping paper 😭 this could have been my present alone and I would have been thrilled! Love how it goes with my Dalmatian baubles 🤩 he knows me so well 🎁 🖤and it’s completely recyclable 👌🏼♻️
Just the presents to put under the tree, the annua Just the presents to put under the tree, the annual Christmas Eve clean up, set up the Christmas Day table and get myself sorted and pampered and we are all ready!! Can’t wait to just chill for a few days as Christmas always goes so quick doesn’t it. I Hope you all have a lovely Christmas whatever it is you will be doing 🎄 🎅🏻🤶🏻 🎁 🍾🥂 here’s some pictures of my tree with the lights on, it’s weird as these lights I got from the range look different each time I turn them on 🙈 I think I prefer my old ones from last year to be honest👀
I’ve been looking for dog harnesses and leads fo I’ve been looking for dog harnesses and leads for a while now as we wanted something new for the new additions we have. I got Elliott’s old ones from America and I just hadn’t seen anything I really loved until I came across @popandtedthreads and I fell in love with their whole range, especially the made to order personalised ones where you can pick your own fabric, trim and hardware colours.  Of course I just had to have this monochrome Dalmatian print fabric😍🤩 I can’t believe they’re completely hand made, I’m so impressed with the quality and finish.  You can tell a lot of hard work and love goes into these so thank you @popandtedthreads my little pups are going to love their new stuff for Christmas and will look so cute!! Thought I would share incase anyone else was looking for really unique dog accessories 🖤
I really wanted to change up this Christmas Wreath I really wanted to change up this Christmas Wreath this year and add some bits to it but I just haven’t had the time, not even put up half of my Christmas decorations that I wanted to. 😭 So I just added some more snow and glitter to this and have made do 🙈 honesty where has this year and month gone...it’s flown by and I’m not ready for Christmas in the slightest, got to finish my shopping tomorrow and wrap everything, do the food shop and have a good clean up in the house! Oh take me back to being a kid and being excited for Christmas ha ha! 🎅🏻🤶🏻🎄
Another job ticked off the list and one step close Another job ticked off the list and one step closer to finally finishing everything in the kitchen yay. 😊 I really wanted an antique mirror cooker splash back, it’s the reason I didn’t go for tiles in here and went for up-stands instead as I didn’t want it looking OTT and I definitely think less is more in the kitchen. This white antique glass was specially made and took about 6-8 weeks but I love it. 🤩You can really see the antique detailing up close (swipe for pic) although we have had some slight issues with the measurements on the boxing in area around the island which we also wanted in glass. A little disappointing, so that’s got to be sorted out but I’m hoping it will be done before Christmas 🤞🏻
I just love Christmas decor ☺️ everything feel I just love Christmas decor ☺️ everything feels so cosy 🎄✨I’m surprised I’ve got any chocolates and sweets left on my tables though, because my niece keeps trying to eat them all when she comes over 😂
Christmas tree reveal 🤩🌲🎄 Although I pret Christmas tree reveal 🤩🌲🎄 Although I pretty much showed it on my Instagram stories🙊swipe for lots more up close pics....it’s a bit of a weird one this year, as I’m not feeling Christmassy in the slightest yet, this tree and all the decorations were supposed to be for the new kitchen but that plan has gone out the window thanks to the two new puppies that have taken over my kitchen. So I’ve used all these bits for the living room instead. Sorry for my lack of posts,  I’ve got a hell of a lot going on and I’m still not 100% myself. Details below •Christmas tree 🎄 -  is the snowy alpine 6ft from @christmastreeworld and I am obsessed! It’s so gorgeous and full looking! •All the flowers and sprays - from @tonyalmondonline ( my best find this year for amazing affordable decorations) •other decorations from @therangeuk and my local garden centres @longacresbagshot & @oaktreegardencentre •made the Dalmatian baubles myself it was so easy •stocking holders @homesense_ukie and the fluffy stockings are from @ebay_uk
Can’t believe how many messages I’ve had about Can’t believe how many messages I’ve had about this when I posted it on my stories over the weekend🙈 I literally just wanted something to store all my hair styling tools so they didn’t look all messy and tangled. I ended up on eBay and found and ordered these wall mounted holders...I didn’t even know they did special dyson hairdryer holders but I had to have one! I sprayed mine gold (obviously) because I didn’t want them black or silver and attached them to the side of my Ikea Alex unit and I’m so pleased with how it looks ☺️ These GHDs are also yearsssss old but some how still work perfectly and I can’t part with them because they’re a gorgeous gold! 😭
Another side of my beauty/dressing room....I’ve Another side of my beauty/dressing room....I’ve always wanted a proper dressing area, somewhere I can get ready and have all my clothes and accessories to hand. Before I was going in 2/3 rooms just to find bits, as I had it all scattered around 🙈 So pleased I went with the ikea corner pax wardrobe and got very excited over the pull out tray for my jewellery and accessories. (It’s the little things)...I don’t need no fancy pretty hammonds wardrobe....Ikea will do me nicely 😂 My bags won’t be staying like this either as I need to get another shelf next time I go to Ikea. I originally thought I needed more rail space but turns out I don’t, I think I just liked the idea of these pull out rails 🤨
I recently switched my beauty room around, (if you I recently switched my beauty room around, (if you watch my stories you would have seen) So I now have the bigger spare bedroom for my beauty and dressing area yay! And I’m so pleased with it. 😍 I’ve got so much more room now and I had a good sort out and declutter while I was at it, and no more buying makeup I don’t need✋🏻 the Dalmatian spots won’t be going back on the wall but I’ve got use for them somewhere else 👀 I love Dalmatian print but I thought with my new Dalmatian rug it was a little over kill 😂
Got these faux fur Dalmatian cushions from next fo Got these faux fur Dalmatian cushions from next for the living room...didn’t like how they looked in here for some reason, as preferred my other ones🙈 so these are now on the sofa in John’s gaming room 😂 I’m wondering if he will notice that my dalmatian print obsession will slowly be taking over in that room too 👀🙊
I love me some gold and spotty print office statio I love me some gold and spotty print office stationery!! America have the best stuff, which I’m sorry to say is where most of this is from but I often see gorgeous bits in tkmaxx and Homesense. Now my desk is all clean and tidy I must get back to actually blogging and doing some work 👀✍🏻👩🏼‍💻
Never seen such gorgeous and unusual coloured pamp Never seen such gorgeous and unusual coloured pampas before. 😍 Absolutely love @foxglove.studio / @foxglove.studiothekiosk for their amazing selection of dried flowers and the service is always brilliant. These are like a grey/ silver tone and are absolutely beautiful and so fluffy. I’m hoping their  website is up and running soon so I can browse and buy lots more 👀🤞🏻plus so many people keep asking me where all my dried flowers are from 🌾🌾
So happy I got these over the sofa side tables. I’ve had my eye on these for a while now and found them in my local tk maxx and they weren’t damaged for a change so I had to get them. They make the perfect side tables when you don’t have much room. 🖤
