DIY Glam Box

So I was looking for things to organize with that I already had around the house. I found this box that was holding lipgloss, and thought I should throw this out it looks terrible. But it was such a sturdy thick made box that is small enough to put in drawers I thought there must be a way to make this pretty and usable.

Then I remembered I had this gorgeous wall paper I bought at a yard sale for 25 cents. So I decided to cover the box in it. I had been waiting to use it for something  because the colors are absolutely unbelievably pretty.

   

First lay the box on the paper and trace around it. This will give you the base for the inside of the box.

I then used Elmer's X-treme glue stick and glued the wall paper around the box.

The finished product looks like something you would buy at a store.

I love that it openly displays some of my jewelry on my dresser.

Hope you guys enjoyed! Have a great weekend!

What Im Loving Lately

Since I have my esthetician licence I have a card that allows me to go into beauty whole sale stores where most cosmetologists buy their color, scissors and things. These places also sell make up and that is where I discovered this line and these beauties you see here! They are only $10! Love them!

The red color is called Passion which is a crimson red that has a foil sheen to it. Its the perfect deep berry red for that trend right now. The nude pink is called faith and looks a lot like MACs Creme cup mixed with Snob. It's one of the best nude pinks I've ever found.

Here are the swatches for them

I took pictures of me wearing them. Here is Faith

And here I'm wearing Passion. 

(Really trippy that you can tell that my eyes are two different colors in this picture!) 

This is an antique charm bracelet I found in my grandmothers jewelry. It's sterling silver and each charm has an inscription on the back but I dont know what the initials are for or who they belong to. I'm still confused about what some of the charms symbolize, none the less I haven't taken it off since I found it I just love it so much!  

OPI My Private Jet.

Oh this color is just so perfect! It looks black/grey but then in the light it has glitter in it, so beautiful!

I found out about this color when I read about it somewhere that Kim Kardashian wears it all the time and its her favorite nail polish. So I gave it a try and I'm so happy I did!

Revlon Colorstay Whipped Foundation in 320 Warm Golden. I will never go back to anything else foundation wise. Except when I want less make up I still use my trusty Bare Minerals!

These boots from Forever21

I love them and they go with everything from running errands to going to school.

They are flat and comfortable which makes it easy when I'm running late for class!
