Storage

I am always looking for ways to organise my things and I really recommend big suitcases, trunks etc as storage

I bought this at a local vintage fair for a bargain at £15







I love the pale green and studded leather, it goes lovely with my pale pink walls

You can fit so much in them shut the lid and forget about how messy it is inside

I'm sure you can find similar items in home stores etc, but if you can get a genuine vintage one it will be allot more interesting

Do you use trunks as storage?

DIY - Shabby Chic Lacey Shelf Cover

Hello Dolls!

So I have a massive problem with mess & clutter, and my disorganised shelves where making me feel anxious haha
So I had a little creative idea, it was so easy & I have to share it with you
Hope you all try it!





I found an old lace curtain, you could use any curtain or material
I used 3 pin nails and hammered them into the sides of the shelve, that is the most strenuous part and it took two minutes
And then simply hooked the curtain over it



I obviously had to go to far with the girliness and safety pinned two pink hair bows



It looks a hundred times better, I'm so ashamed to show you the mess that is behind it!


What do you girlies think?

99p Brush cleanser & Storage!

Hey Dolls!

Todays post is about brush cleansing & storage!

So I have never used an expensive brush cleaner, I don't own any lovely Mac or Bobbi brown brushes
So I don't see any need for me to shell out on an expensive cleanser

Here are my dirty brushes -



I have a variety of brushes from Cosmopolitan & Ruby and Millie to cheap 17 ones and they do me just fine!

A girl simply still needs clean brushes, even if they aren't deluxe ones


I suggest Tesco Coconut shampoo!- 99p for 750ml






I've often read about people using baby shampoo and I've tried that myself also, but you know I love coconut!

This shampoo has added moisturisers, smells gorgeous and the massive bottle will last you for ages!
It will leave your brushes lovely and soft & smelling delish!

I totally recommend using a cheap moisturising shampoo if you are looking for a brush cleanser!

Just in case your interested?
I wash my brushes twice weekly & my foundation brush three times a week
This really is a must, they work so much better & you definitely have less chance of breaking out

After washing, I just mould the bristles into their original shape and lay them out on a towel to dry!



On another note

I thought I would share with you something new I picked up the other day and it is a great way to store brushes





Pink heart pencil holder - This is only 99p from Tescos!
Its meant to be a stationary holder and would look so cute on a desk, but It's so pretty and is a fab brush holder!

And how satisfying when your brushes are all clean and fluffy and sitting in a cute holder!




Hope you girlies enjoyed this post
Do you have any good brush recommendations or brush cleansers?

Shabby chic storage

Hello lovelies!

So I know allot of girls on the blogging community love everything shabby chic
As do I, my whole room is a shrine to everything kitsch and girly and I am always on the hunt for more

May I introduce you to my new item ....
Cream vintage rose storage shelf - £20 from Matalan!








A bit pricey considering its from Matalan, but it is normally very hard to find shabby chic things and when found they are normally way more expensive!
It is a lovely cream coloured painted metal
And it is really sturdy and has three spacious tiers

I'll do a post and show you what I put on it
Hope this has helped any gals on the look out for cute storage!

What do you girlies think?
