DIY Make Up Vanity

So I decided to dedicate Friday's to blog about my DIY projects! What do you all think?! 

DIY Make Up Vanity: 

I am obsessed with makeup and looking beautiful... But never had a station to create the magic.. Instead I was standing in front of my bathroom mirror with terrible lighting! I knew I had to put this to end so I decided to create my own vanity. Since I wanted my makeup to look flawless and as if someone professional did it. I knew I had to play the part and make a station!

Here it is! Where all the magic happens ;) 

I used a table I had in the past, and it is the perfect table for the job! I bought this table a few years back at IKEA ($20) before I used it as a bedside table but I didn't really need one so I took it for my vanity! 

For my brushes, eyeliners, mascaras, and lipsticks.. I used candle holders and jars and decorated them.

Brushes: I bought square glassware from the Dollar Tree ($1 each) and mod podged the inside and poured glitter inside to give it a glitter glow! (I'm obsessed with glitter BTW). Then I took a pink ribbon and tied a bow just to finish the look.

Eyeliner: For my eyeliners, brow pencils, and concealer pencils.. I used candle holders that I actually had for centerpiece a at my wedding! (So so glad I kept a lot of my decorations, I've put them to good use!) for these I did the same as the brush holders but instead I mod podged the glitter on the outside.. I love both looks, but mod podging glitter on the inside of the jar is definitely the way to go if you don't want glitter everywhere! 

Mascara: For this, believe it or not I actually cut one of those Arizona Iced Tea cans in half and then mod podged decorative paper from a gift bag! It was so easy and came out awesome! And of course I added ribbon to finish the look!

Lastly, my lipstick: I am obsessed with candles.. And my favorite candle finally burnt out :( so I used the tin the candle was in.. Painted it and then I had a lipstick holder! (Super easy and fun!)

I used an organizer I had got from Walmart forever ago.. (Sorry I don't remember the price!) it was originally white but over the years it got dirty and was in need of a makeover. I painted the top and the inside of the shelves with black acrylic paint.. You can buy a pack of 6 colors at Walmart for $5! Then of course I had to mod podge glitter on the sides to give it my touch ;)

Since my bed side table used to hold my jewelry, I had to find a new spot for my necklaces.. (statement necklaces are a must have!) so I simply used tacks and hung my necklaces up on the wall :) 

For the pictures on the wall, a few I had and found them a new home on my vanity wall! But the flower picture, my husband painted for me!!! So of course I had to hang it up on my vanity wall <3 

Well that's all for now! Stay tuned for some new DIY projects :)
