So as you guys know I am a bit obsessed with makeup and my collection has outgrew my space in the bathroom, so I have been searching for an inexpensive makeup vanity. I have searched everywhere and was not able to find anything that was less than 300 bucks and of course I was not willing to spend that much so I figured that I could make one for much less. I jumped in the car last Saturday and headed to Ikea, I picked up the desk for 20 dollars, the mirror for 10 dollars and a HD lamp for 10 bucks(plus tax, that brought me to a total of 42 dollars and some change). The whole desk took me about 3 hours to put together those directions are insane( lol)! Anyhoo, I was very pleased with how it turned out the jars that I keep my brushes in cost me nothing since I recycled them instead of throwing them away!

P.S. I took my mini twists out they held up good for 30 plus days and I plan on rocking a bun for Thanksgiving, my birthday is next week and I'm still not sure how I will wear my hair :(

Repurposed!!!
Hey yall,
So a few months back Alex from the Good Hair blog and Lush In Flats posted a video on youtube about reusing candle jars and I loved the idea. For this you would need a candle jar that has burned down and then place it in boiling water. Once the wax has melted pour it into a heat resistant container and then clean the jar really well of any left over candle wax. You can then use the jar to store just about anything, I use them in my bathroom to keep my vanity neat. I went one step further and placed the animal print ribbon on the rim, I picked up the ribbon from Walmart for about two dollars. Now to take one step even more in the first picture is actually a nacho cheese jar that I opened and used last week and since the lid wasn't my style I kept it without the lid and placed lip gloss and lipstick in it. The middle picture is a smaller candle jar with the lid that came from Bath and Body Works. The third picture is an old vase that I got from the dollar store and placed half of my nail polish collection in it. Cute! I love this idea and they are very cute on display.
