magnetic make up board!

Im so so so excited for this one! Ive been wanting to make this for quite some time now and I finally remembered to get the stuff i need for it. I dont know if you can tell in the picture but I pained the outer edge black (got the paint at walmart for 89 cents) and used some loose purple glitter that I got at dollar tree (it came with 5 other colors so thats a AWESOME deal) and then I purchased magnet strips from walmart (89 cents as well) oh yeah I forgot to mention i bought the cookie sheet at dollar tree too. So I made this for under 5 dollars. The magnetic strips come with sticky stuff on the back so I only used those on the light items like eyeshadows. The heavier items i had to hot glue gun them to the back. Most of my makeup never leaves the house with me so im okay with it having a magnet glued to the back. This will be so much more convient than my cluttered make up bag!

DIY brush cleaner.

 

I discovered this make up brush cleaner DIY on pinterest and was really suprised at how well it worked. I used 70% alcohol instead of the regular 100% because alcohol is known to dry the bristles out on the brushes so i figured using a lower percentage would help that. i mixed a 2 to 1 ratio of alcohol and baby shampoo. Soak your brushes in the mixture for about 10 minutes. When that time is up start swirling the brushes around then rinse with water

    

Leave dry overnight

SEE THE DIFFERENCE!
