It’s time to take my vanity more seriously. As a SAHM/blogger/tutor, I can get away with yoga pants and crusty tees all week. In truth:
1.) Most of my make-up is older than my children. I know, I know, I will probably get a fungal infection and die {or if the ingredients in these products won’t kill me first!}.
2.) I usually toss said products in a large wicker basket and can’t find them in a timely fashion.
3.) Washing my face and brushing my teeth is the pinnacle of my beauty regime these days.
Now that I have a magnetic make-up board, it may inspire me to banish the dark circles from underneath my eyes and toss on a lil lip gloss.
Extreme close up…
-hot glue gun
-decorative paper
-your makeup collection
-a busted up magnetic board that you saved from an old classroom
-magnets {reused from old classroom}
-little chalkboards
1.) Cover the unsightly board with pretty paper. {This paper was actually holiday wrapping paper courtesy of Tar-jay}
2.) Burn yourself as you glue magnets to the back of your make-up collection
3.) Write categories on little chalkboards so your pretty new board can be ultra-organized
4.) Be happy that your make-up is no longer tossed haphazardly in a basket.
Did I put makeup on this morning? Nope. But I thought about it.
Hope this inspires you to put your face on,
Nicolette

Wanted to let you know I’m featuring your make-up board in a Magnetic Make-up Board Round up.

I love this idea! <3
ONE BIG PROBLEM with this idea. Makeup contains a metal called Titanium Dioxide, so when I put the magnets under the makeup, the composition of the makeup actually changed. It went from a powdery substance to something much harsher because the magnet cause the titanium dioxide to separate from the other ingredients.
Um, for serious I don’t know how I mised this one, but I AM SOOOOO DOING IT! The craft bug has bitten me! Trip to the craft store in order…let me know when I can pick you up…lol!
where did you get the little chalk boards? or did you make them? if so how i love this detail that was added great idea!!! : )
Tabby-
I tried emailing you, but you were a no-reply…
I bought the lil chalkboards at Joann…
Thanks!
Nice job! Very creative idea and beautiful MAC and Burts Bees collection. You are a girl after my own heart!
A cookie sheet would also work well. I’m certain that once any of us got down to it, we could rig some sort of tray along the bottom edge to rest the things that are new and haven’t been magnetized yet. This is such a wonderful idea. it would also work well at a sewing station for your sewing box things or in your home office.
where did you find the pink flower?????
Target! But like ten years ago. It’s a magnet.
Love your style!!
How adorable is that?! I wear MAC too! Thanks for linking up! I’m featuring this on my blog next week!
Genius!!! You just changed my life. I must do this!!
It really is life-changing…I agree! Have fun making your own!
