But first just let me tell you a story before showing you guys my make up collection and storage.
I am a HUGE fan of makeup brushes and it's been months I've been meditating upon the purchase of a set of Zoeva makeup brushes, especially since I have been told so many positive things about this brand and being in the lookout of the perfect kit to take with when traveling.Therefore, the last week I decided to place my order and today I received the parcel straight from Germany: what a better way to start the week off, isn't it? :)I felt like a kid on Christmas day while opening the box and I was pleasantly surprised by the care and attention my order had been wrapped up (thank you Mudja and Natalia!).
Hands up if you haven’t seen the new Disney movie ‘Cinderella’ yet!To celebrate the release of the movie, the famous low-cost German brand Essence Cosmetics released a limited edition called ‘Cinderella’ dedicated to one of the most popular Princesses.Among the various low-cost brands, Essence (along with Catrice) is definitely one of my favorites and I pretty liked this new trend edition because of its pastel colors (I really LOVE pastel colors!).I am also thinking to do and upload a video tutorial with these products…but I haven’t decided yet if I will do that or not :pContinue reading to find out what my make up haul is all about!
How many of you have ever finished a perfume bottle and threw it away because didn't know what to do with it? In the past two days I have been cleaning up my closet because I wanted to get rid of the clothes that don't fit anymore and because both my wardrobes needed a fresh re-organization (I love when my stuff is neat). While cleaning, I found this old and empty scent bottle my parents bought me for my 15th birthday: With Love by Hilary Duff. I absolutely love this perfume and that's why I own a second bottle (bought in 2010 when I was in Boston). I rarely use it though - only for special occasions. But what about the bottle? It is so cute and fancy I didn't feel like throwing it away and that's why I have kept it in its original box among jumpers for years.
I knew I would have done something with it, I just didn't know exactly what... until yesterday.There are multiple things you can do with your empty perfume bottles: if the openings are large enough, you can also use them for containers for small objects like jewelry. Not my case though, as the bottle is not that large enough even for a small ring. You can even use them for kitchen containers, centerpieces for special occasions or to contain homemade room sprays. Better yet, you can fill the bottles with homemade, organic or purchased perfumes.Despite the multiple recycling ideas, I came up with this one: what about a cute flower or bud vase?
It was really easy to do. All I did was taking carefully the cap off with tweezers, then I cleaned the bottle with a clean cloth soaked in rubbing alcohol. My dad helped me with smoothing the bottle opening as it was a little sharp (as a precaution). Then I took a cute red lace and some fake flowers (from my ballerina's old times - I wore them for a ballet performance when I was 5 or 6) and put them in the perfume bottle.I think this is a very easy and cute way to recycle an old perfume bottle and to make something fancy and somehow classy.
Name me a girl who has never changed her hairstyle!
A new haircut or a new hair color is very common among girls, especially when they feel like they (usually) want to start a new chapter of their life.
