Muji Acrylic Stacking Pots

I bought these two acrylic stacking pots from Muji the other week. They are great! I use them for mineral samples, like eyeshadows and foundations. Purrrfect!

And I have to say that I love Muji, tons of brilliant and stylish organizing products and office supplies (they have tons of other stuff too).  Too bad I don’t really have space for much more! ButI regret that I didn’t buy a notebook or two while I was there!

(Swedish: Ni hittar Muji antingen online eller i utvalda Åhlens-butiker. Finns i  Umeå, Uppsala, Göteborg, Malmö, och ett flertal i Stockholm.)

Tips for makeup brushes!

Wednesday, June 23rd, 2010

A while ago I saw that MichellePhan recommended The Brush Guard for keeping your makeup brushes like new, especially for keeping them in shape after you’ve washed them. They seemed really great since you can turn the brushes upside down while they are getting dry so you don’t damage the glue keeping it together.
So I created something on my own instead. I love my makeup brushes from e.l.f.’s studio line, so every time I’ve ordered new ones I kept the plastic covers!

I used a hole puncher to create many tiny holes in the plastic.

So after I’ve washed the brushes, I put on the cover and put them in a vase or a glass and let them dry! Even though I made many holes (I think I’m going to make more holes though), the air can’t circulate enough, so I only use these to get the excess water off and then let them dry without the plastic.

I realize that they are not as good as the Brush Guards, but I thought I could save the world from a little plastic and reuse them instead of throwing them away!
