Storage Solution

Hey everyone, sorry for disappearing on you. This semester has been really busy >.< Anyways, I just wanted to pop in to share a little makeup storage idea that I came up with. I'm a bit of a gum fiend and I discovered that the big-e-paks work really well for makeup storage if you pop the tops off of them. They are the perfect size for mini-eyeliners as well as shorter brushes (I have face brushes in one of mine).

Really all you have to do is pop off the lid, peel off the wrapper, and wash it out. Viola, storage on a budget. They would also be really easy to decorate with paint or cover them in fabric. I haven't gotten a chance to decorate mine yet but when I do I will share pictures.

Until next time, what are some things you use to store your makeup in?
