DIY Makeup Brush Holders

This DIY makeup brush holder idea is inspired by ones I’ve seen at Sephora. [I die and go to heaven every time I step foot in there.]

Change the look of your bathroom and display all your makeup tools with these adorable holders. It is so easy-peasy and all you need is your own creativity.

You literally can choose any theme or color.

I purchased the rectangle glass vases at Michael’s {on sale} for $3. I adorned a couple with a few accessories.

To change it up,  I decided to do one vase in glitter ribbon, wrapped in brown tulle.

These are the poly-fil beads. They work, but are not as pretty as the glass beads Sephora uses.

**Super important when choosing the filling for inside the vases, make sure it is made of material that will not scratch your makeup brushes.**

I did some research and found poly-fil {which is used to fill dolls} and tested them to be the safest in making sure your brushes are not ruined…BUT THEN I discovered the actual glass beads Sephora uses [pictured below and found Save-on-Crafts].

See the difference? The glass beads are so pretty.

Wait…we’re not done organizing…

If you’re feeling extra crafty try this easy idea:

Use Modge Podge on the inside of the jar (a thick, even layer), pour your color choice of glitter, let dry. And violá[!], a jazzy new lip pencil [or whatever your little heart desires] holder.

Container Store acrylic makeup organizer, new DIY makeup brush holder, and of course, my Clearcube.

Phew! It feels so good to be organized.

I mean think about it, we spend all this money on products just to throw them in a cold, lonely, and dark drawer. Display them beautifully and proudly for all to enjoy.

Happy organizing Loveleigh’s!

Love,

Hello 2013!

Hello, Beautiful Loveleigh’s!

Happy New Year! I hope each one of you had an amazing holiday. Mine was a little cray, but in a wonderful way! I’m feeling blessed more than ever.

I can’t get this song outta my head “It’s a new dawn, it’s a new day, and I’m feeling gooood…”. [Imagine me sashaying down the hallway whilst singing.]

I’m so sorry its been so long since my last blog! Ay, Ay, Ay I’ve been having MAY-jor computer issues. Hopefully, I have all the kinks worked out (fingers double crossed) and I can get back to it.

I have so much to share with you in the new year. Inspiration for me has been everywhere!

But first, it’s that time of year again–where we make all kinds of redic promises to ourselves. But this year, I have decided to nix the uge ((short for usual)) of:

*stop biting my nails

*try the latest fad diet

*workout everyday for 2 hours minimum (um, yeah right!)

*blah, blah, blah [!!]

Let’s face it, life gets in the way and then we end up feeling worse than when we started.

This year I’m not setting myself up for failure.

So with that said, let’s pick one thing and make a change for the better. Create a positive habit. Every moment is a chance to achieve or at least strive for something greater.

Let’s quit placing importance on a singular point in time as a catalyst for change. That concept is so flawed! Be the change you want right now. Today. Everyday. Not just on January 1st.

So, my New Year’s resolution? Be PRODUCTIVE. I want to thrive in all aspects of my life.

I want to flourish in love, my family, my business, friends, health, fitness and all things loveleigh [duh].

What are some of your resolutions? Or shall we say positive changes of life?

Motivational Monday

Happy Monday Loveleigh’s!

I am unfortunately a little under the weather. {sniff, sniff..} On the flip side to being sick, I have found more time to blog and reflect on all things beauty.

I know it’s cliché, but always remember true beauty really comes from within. It’s in our confidence, character, intellect, passion, kindness- which all comes from deep within each of our unique souls.

Obvi, I’m obsessed with makeup, skincare, and all beauty related products-but they don’t define me or determine my beauty or yours.

I know it can be hard to not freak-out over an annoying breakout [guilty, party of 1] or bad hair day.  Instead, try to direct your focus on being confident, loving yourself, and being happy. No amount of amazing foundation or the world’s best hairspray can fix that–only you can.

Love this. It should be everyone’s mantra!
My fav! I wish more of our society’s youth could understand this.
Classic

Today, think about your reflection of inner beauty and what it looks like to others from the outside.

Love, LL
