Well, I finally got around to cleaning and displaying my make-up brushes. Last week, I posted about all the fabulous and beautiful ways to organize your make-up. My make-up and brushes were hiding away in an old and dirty travel bag under my sink. There. I said it. I'm so ashamed. My own post was the inspiration to doing this.
Wowzers! I LOVE it! Can I say that about my own work and not sound haughty? It just came out so much better than I even expected.
I cleaned my make-up brushes this last week- finally. I'll post about that on Tips and Tricks Tuesday, so stay tuned. I didn't want to just throw them back in a bag or a drawer, so I decided to "display" them like so.
Here's the best part about my little girly display. I already had the tray, the glass candle holder, and the beads. I didn't go out and shop for any of it! You all know, that's my kind of decorating! But if you're interested in getting these items, I bought everything at the Dollar Tree a while ago. I'm pretty sure they still have them.
I set out my favorite and most often used jewelry pieces. Together, everything looks perfectly matched. Personally, I love the mix of gold and silver, so I might just keep that gold box thingy next to the tray. I haven't really decided. By the way, I got that gold box (it's a Christmas candle holder) for just $3 at Bath and Body during their semi-annual clearance. I didn't buy lotions or soap. Just these gold boxes.
So what do you think? A little ribbon, some marbles or beads, and a glass candle holder is all you need to bring a little beauty to your life.
Love little decorating and practical moments!

Very pretty! And I like pretty!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty, I need to display my brushes this way too. The simple box made the jar look so pretty. Thank you for your kind words about our precious Bo passing, it really meant a lot. My condolences on the loss of your dog. They do give unconditional love and I miss that so much too. Following you on Facebook
ReplyDeleteLooks beautiful! So pretty and organized :)
ReplyDeleteSo chic! The silver tray makes the accessories pop! Dollar Tree rocks!

Popping in from The Gunny Sack....This caught my eye right away....so beautiful and inexpensive, too. I'm inspired to do something similar on my new vanity.
ReplyDeleteFound you at Kammie's Corner and love how everything screams "girly", I have the glass vase and will find something to use as a tray. Need to know what you used to clean the brushes so I'll be back!
ReplyDeleteI'm your newest follower and liked you on facebook too!

You are the queen of beautiful organization! I just saw your darling ice cream buckets, and now make up brushes! You live in a gorgeous organized place! Lucky you! Enjoy your day!
ReplyDeleteHi Lisa, (I'm a Lisa too!)
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute idea! I have an old square silver tray and I think the exact same candle holder. This will be perfect to fill the massive expanse of bathroom counter that I've been trying to 'decorate'.
Are you in Louisville Texas? If so we are neighbors, I live in Flower Mound, stop by and check out my blog House Dressing at housedressingblog.blogspot.com

Why, blessings back! I've used crystal vases and serve ware to display my brushes ready to use- but never thought of putting glass pebbles in leftover candle holder. Positively brilliant of you!
ReplyDeleteLisa, Thanks so much for sharing this inspiring post at Simple & Sweet Fridays. Happy Valentine's!
