Makeup Storage {Part 1}...

   I have decided to do a series on {makeup storage}. I am such a girly girl, and I know a lot of you are as well.. so let's organize those makeup drawers!! I have a passion for makeup & true confession: I have A LOT of makeup. I love collecting & trying out new products, & let's face it the cosmetic industry is constantly putting out new products that I am tempted to try... not my fault. So I am in need of good makeup storage, so I thought, why not make it cute? {Part 1} is how I store my makeup brushes....


I made these {Makeup Brush Storage} Jars for my new vanity.


I got all my items to make these {Makeup Brush Storage} Jars at my local Michael's. Two jars (I chose a square shape), letter cut outs (That were on Clearance!), a hot glue gun, & colerfill (tiny clear beads).



This is sadly not all my makeup brushes, but I wanted to just but my most used ones in my jars. I will show you in another post how I store my other makeup brushes.


The beads help the brushes stand up strait so they are always easy to find & easily accessible. 


I hot glued the letters to the jars. It seemed to hold really well, but a specific glue for glass might work even better.


I hope you liked my part {one} of my makeup storage series. How do you store your makeup brushes? I hope you all are having a great week.. It's Wednesday tomorrow, ALMOST the weekend. Let me know if you use this idea!! I would love to see your makeup storage tips, go link them up on Liz Marie Blog Facebook Page. Thanks for stopping by...

  1. I actually had written down to pick up some stuff to do some of these makeup storage things at Michael's the next time I went! I AM IN LOVE with the little letter cut-outs you got to label them with. That is TOTALLY adorable! <3333

  6. Sooo cute! I love how you labeled them eyes & face. I have been wanting to get those clear beeds for awhile, to make it feel like whenever I am grabbing a brush I am at Sephora LOL

  18. I actally did the same thing a little while back! I had tall circular vases left over from my wedding and am using them for my brushes, lip and eyeliners and then other *ahem* feminine itmes, in a concealed area of course. But I think I'll add something to the bottom of my brush jar - that's a great idea! Thanks for sharing! :)

    ReplyDelete
  19. The beads at the bottom are such a great idea -- they serve a purpose, yet are pretty, too! Love it!

    I saw your link on The Middle Matters blog hop...and I'm your newest follower :) Happy Wednesday!

    http://nestcandy.blogspot.com/2011/03/bedroom-accents-part-2-pop-of-color.html

    I use beans instead of the poly beads. I like how you used the cute letters to label each container. Thanks for sharing!

    ReplyDelete
  32. I love the idea of the beads to help the brushes stand up straight! I have a tutorial coming up on my blog for my own makeup brushes, I might have to use that idea! Thanks for sharing! Your jars looks adorable!

    ReplyDelete
