I&#8217;d been redoing my master bathroom and I was at the place where I was re-organizing my makeup. I just needed some little thing to hold my longer makeup items&#8230; mascara, eyeliner, brushes, etc. I knew I could buy something but I wanted to get it finished, so I started walking through the house\u00a0 trying to find something that would work.\u00a0 There was nothing in the kitchen so I went out into the garage where I keep all my upcycle containers. Nothing there either. Everything was too tall.\u00a0 Then I went into my herb closet (from my <a href=\"http:\/\/ourpeacefulplanet.com\/2015\/04\/09\/inexpensive-herb-closet-makeover\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">herb closet makeover<\/a>) &#8230; and\u00a0 spotted two empty salve containers I&#8217;d saved.\u00a0 Hmmm&#8230;. if I took the lid off one it looked about right. Of course I couldn&#8217;t just stick plain old white salve jar bottom in my nice bathroom. That would be crazy.\u00a0 So I had to fancy it up just a tiny bit.\u00a0 I ended up using both of the containers by the way. Took like 10 minutes and cost me nothing.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>We also did a full makeover on our master bathroom\u00a0 that we used this containers in, complete with recovering the counter with contact paper.\u00a0 <\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Make sure you check that out too&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; <a href=\"https:\/\/craftyourhappiness.com\/2020\/03\/04\/magical-dark-sea-bathroom-makeover\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Magical Dark Sea Bathroom Makeover<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h1>Makeup Storage Supplies<\/h1>\n<ul>\n<li>Any Container<\/li>\n<li>Paint if Needed<\/li>\n<li>Ribbon<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2uiYjST\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Flower punch<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Glue (<a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2sjTsPC\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Tacky Glue Pen<\/a>)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h1><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-29484\" src=\"http:\/\/ourpeacefulplanet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/blank630x20.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"630\" height=\"20\" \/>Visuals<\/h1>\n<p>I had my makeup crammed into this silver box and I was moving it over to a small open door chest.
