Last week I lost my Real Techniques Stippling brush, it wasn’t that big of a deal because I ended up buying a new one with a coupon but it did drive me crazy because I keep all my brushes together. This got me looking desperately for a brush holder so I never lose another brush again lolol.
I saw a lot online but I didn’t want to pay the crazy prices and shipping and then wait for it to get shipped so I went to a couple of different stores and found exactly what I was looking for YAY!! I should have taken a picture of how it looked empty but here it is all done
I had extra beads from a prior craft project so it was easy to mix them up together and add them in 🙂 The brush holder itself I found at Home Goods for only $15 and now I regret not buying another one since I love brushes just as much as lipsticks I can see myself filling this one up super fast. It spins too so making it super easy to get any brush 🙂
My favorite part was mixing the beads and putting them into the container ❤
I wore these two lipsticks this week and I have to say I loved both but the NYX Matte one a little more.
I thought the NYX Matte in Indie Flick would be more orangey but thankfully it wasn’t. It was a perfect color to add some color to my otherwise boring makeup LOLOLOLOL. I tend to go conservative on everything else because I just love bright lipsticks so much.
Here is Color Pop Lippie Stix in Fetch, such a great pink! I wish it lasted longer though because wear time was like an hour, I do eat a lot and drink a lot of water so I need lipsticks that are longer wearing but for $5 I can’t complain too much.
Hope you guys have a great Hump Day 🙂
xoxo
Janet

I’m going to look for it, maybe today if I can stop by a CVS or something. I placed in order last night with ColourPop. 3 blushes and two eyeshadows 🙂

Ahhhh so excited to hear your thoughts on the ColorPop blushes. For the life of me I can’t choose just one or two. I do have CT heading my way so maybe I should cool my jets on spending lol

Lol. Yeah I can’t afford CT at the moment so I opted for ColourPop. I wanted to try almost all the blushes and it took me a good 20 minutes to go through and compare shades and decide which ones were best. I got the Get Lucky and Sequin eyeshadows. Excited to see them. Sequin reminded me a bit of a shade in CT Dolce Vita palette so we’ll see. 🙂

Thanks so much ❤️❤️❤️ They are slightly drying but nothing that bothers me since I love lipsticks so much. The NYX one was slightly more drying than the ColorPop but for the price I can’t complain on either. I was so happy when I was digging though my crafts area and found the beads, it was like magic they appeared and went added the perfect touch for my brushes 😃

That bright lippie with the simple face is perfection! That’s my go-to look. I also have dark, thicker brows so I find my features do their thing while I spice it up with a colorful lip. You look gorgeous!!! Also, I did the same brush holder thing, but with blue stones. Then, I poured them out and used the vases for flowers lol.

Thanks so much Romy!!!! I agree about the features morphing into something really nice on their own. LOLOLOLOL well they are still being used for something so that is good 🙂 I just couldn’t stand the thought of losing another brush so I had to find something to keep them together
