Fun Makeup Storage

Makeup storage can be SO boring. just plain white sets of plastic drawers or worse just a box full of everything all getting lost. Here are a few more fun ideas to brighten up your makeup storage

Small Storage:

This is an adorable little hello kitty tin I found at TK MAXX. If you have just a small amount of makeup it's really good for just putting everything you need in. Its sits on your desk and looks so sweet :3

Here I've put just a few of my favourite items in so they're always on hand.

Another good use I found is to store my barry M dazzle dusts in. This would also work really well for MAC eyeshadows or pigments and glitters or any other brand of round eyeshadow of small pigment tubs. I also found it was good to fit nail polishes in, I got 14 average sized ones to fit.

The other thing I like is this rack, its supposed to be used as a letter organiser. but I find its great to fit palettes in!

Usually I just use it to hold the 88 matte/satin and shimmer palettes but I put two of my urban decay ones in too, just to see in they fit. Also sleek palettes work nicely

I got that at TK MAXX which I would really recommend if you're looking for fun storage, there's all sorts of cute boxes and drawers in thereand anything can be spiced up with a little creativity.

These for example were plain ones that I found in Asda (walmart) WhichI spiced up with a tissue paper flower and some cute sparlkly black butterflies I just stuck on.

In here I keep my eyeliners and bases, my mascaras brow stuff and tweezers, and my back up drawer.

Hopefully you found that helpful for ideas and tips on makeup storage ad how to make it fun. Because makeup should make you smile, and it cant do that if its all stuffed away in a drawer!

thankyou for reading :) xx

Polymer Clay crafts.

Ahh I do love sculpy clay

For some reason I can't stop making little treats with them. Here a few of the ones that didnt burn, collapse or get sat on by the cat and/or my brother:

I know they arent THE most professional things, but I'm very proud of them :)

romantic nails

I have a few MAC glitters and I've never known what to do with them. Usually I only buy them when Im having one of those days when you're silly and buy things only because the colour is pretty. But Ive found a way to use my glitter! Ive never liked putting it on my eyes or lips because it can irritate and its far too chunky to use as shimmer on cheeks or anything, but in an effort to not have my money wasted I've discovered that they can look great on nails!

Ive tried a few combinations and methods and this is my favourite so far.

Just a peachy pink nail polish and my 'Gold' MAC glitter pressed gently over the tips

I just wish the pictures would show up clearer but my iphone has a tendency to make colours too washed out or too dark so Im sorry about that. >.<>

I think it looks sweet and romantic and very pretty and Im wearing it to school tomorrow :)

My only problem with doing this stuff is just how messy it is. I dont understand how I can find glitter in my brushes... which are kept a good few feet away from my desk where I did this. I may have to get used to doing it over the sink!

speaking of brushes I have some really cute things to show you including a set of Tokidoki brushes that I get off EBay so stay tuned for that! :)

I'll post some more glitter nail pics if I find any more really cute combos and I have a feeling this could work well with Barry M glitter dusts, so there's a great budget option. I'll try and let you know

I hope you enjoyed this little tidbit of nailsy-ness and thankyou for reading :) xx

Rag doll Bow

So the crafty thing continues.

I couldnt sleep last night so this really got thrown together at about 3 am haha. I think had I been awake it would be nice and neat... so I wouldn't have needed to call it a rag doll bow.

Its just made out of some old jammies I was about to throw out. I thought it was a pit to waste such a nice fabric, despite the fact it was thin and not stretchy at all so very uncomfortable to sleep in. the little 'ribbon-y' bits are made from the straps of the top. I found a big pink button and a little flower knocking around and sewed them on too.

I plan to maybe attach it to a big barrette so I could clip it in my hair. That could look cute.

Id get a few stares

but I've never minded that XD would YOU wear this out? Just curious :)

I hope this crafty phase stays with me. Its a lot of fun XD

In other news my very first youtube video will be up tomorrow :) Id appreciate a bit of feedback from you guys. Ill post a link

thankyou for reading xx

cuddly cupcakes!

wow...Im in a really crafty mood at the moment!

I made this ADORABLE little cupcake plushie! He's nowhere near perfect and the face is all glued on with eyelash glue but I love him!

Im really making an effort to finish things I start right now. Its sort of a new school years resolution, though it applies to everything, not just school work.

But this little chappie makes me so proud just because I finished him. My room is full of half started projects that I could just never be bothered to complete.

I'm really into my crafts right now. I'll definitely be posting up pics of more things and maybe tutorials if anything turns out tutorial worthy :)

Im tempted to thread some ribbon through the top and hang him somewhere... maybe save him for a really cute christmas tree decoration!

thankyou for reading xx

Frankenailsss! :D

Okay so these arent entirely original. I saw them on Xsparkage's blog and she saw goldiestarling's video on youtube.

But these are sooo cute and ultra halloweeny that I just HAD to try them!

Its not perfect as I was just messing about, but this is the finished result:

he

I used Illamasqua's 'Milf' for the green and the black is from Barry M as is the 'vivd purple' on my other nails. the white is from MACs Hello Kitty collection.

They were stupidly easy. I used only one 'tool' and that was to do the black points of the eyes and the mouth. and even then, I dont have any special tools, so I always just use the tip of an old eyeliner that I didnt like so I chucked it and rinsed the tip and use that for nail art :)

its so much fun, and I even managed to do it on my other hand without too much trouble.

Have a try! xx

Cupcake Nails

So this morning I was avoiding homework as you do and found myself playing around with my nails. This is what I came up with:

It was surprisingly simple, just a thick block of lilac in the centre of the nail, once it was dry I used a plain white to blob over the top in a cloud like shape. using a cocktail stick I dotted eyes and a little smile with black nail varnish, then decided to use bright pink in the same way to make cute little rosy cheeks. Because the white varnish was appled so thickly I had to wait for a while before it was dry but then I used the brush from an old liquid eyeline (works really well!) to dot on some baby blue sprinkles.

It took about five minutes to do it just on the thumb, I have short nails so I don't think it would fit on any of my fingers, but it looks really sweet and was super easy :)
