MakeupBrushes Drying Method-Easy,Budget Friendly,Safe Way !!

Hi Girlz,

Today i am back with a quick post on how to dry your brushes on a budget without damaging them .We often lay the brushes on a towel after washing or we tend to make them stand up upside down leaning against a wall.What i observed in both these methods is -

• In the First Case-laying the brushes on a towel after washing-resulted in some of the water going back in the ferrule of the brush ,thus affecting the glue and in turn loosening the ferrule.Ultimately destroying the brush.

• In the second case-make them stand up upside down leaning against a wall-all the pressure was coming on the bristles of my brushes ,thus affecting and ruining the bristles.

Ultimately one day i came up this solution.As shown in the picture below i use rubber bands to hold the brushes upside down against a towel drying bar.

I just stretch the rubber-band under the bar and hold the brush in the front end of the band.Then i stretch the other end of the rubber band from behind the bar to go over the brush in the front of the bar,thus holding the brush tightly with the bar in an upside down position.

In this manner i dry my brushes without damaging the bristles or the ferrule of the brushes.

I have been doing this technique at home as well as in hotels when i am travelling. 

That's it for this one,till my next,do let me know if you try this technique in the comments below or tag me on Instagram.

Keep Smiling,

Depotting Eyeshadows -Simple and Easy way !

Hi Girlz,

Today i wanted to post a quick post on how i depotted my eyeshadows.For a long time i have been wanting to take out the eyeshadows from their original packaging and place them together in a palette so that i reach for them more often as i tend to reach for palette's more rather than individual eyeshadows.

So here is a quick way on how i depotted my eyeshadows.Thing that you need for these are -

1. Eyeshadows that you would like to depot
2. A dropper -i used a Straw as i did not have a dropper at that time
3. Rubbing Alcohol
4. Empty Palette-I used my Elf Custom compacts.
5. A Sharp Edgy thing to take out the eyeshadows pans from the original containers.
6. Paper Towel
7. Magnetic Sheets/Magnet.

Just pick up a few drops of Rubbing alcohol with your dropper and drop a few drops on all the four corners of the eyeshadow you wish to depot.Leave it for 10 seconds and then use the sharp pointy object to lift the pan from the container.Alcohol helps to weaken the glue bond under the pan and therefore you will be able to easily lift the pan.I would suggest cleaning a little glue that is left on the back of the pan with the rubbing alcohol with a paper towel .Stick on a magnet to your pan and just place the pan in your empty palette .Your palette is ready to use.

This is an easy and a fast way as compared to the melting method of depotting.You just have to be a little careful while picking up the pans so that you don't break your eyeshadows.Also if you do happen to break any eyeshadow,just mix some rubbing alcohol and press the shadow down and it will be ready to use.

That's it for this one,till my next ,do try this method and let me know if you liked it.

Review- Rev-A-Shelf -Metal Single Shelf Cabinet Pull out Drawers !!

Hi Stylebees,

Today i am reviewing my much loved 'Rev-A-Shelf  Cabinet Metal Pull Out Drawers'.I am glad i got so many comments to Update my home organization section.It makes me so happy to know that you guys are enjoying it. So without making it too long lets get started.

My Little Story-I recently shifted to my new place and the first thing i was keen about buying were these cabinet drawers.I have always struggled with things falling to the extreme back of my bottom cabinets and me never using them .If i really wanted  to use something lying at the back ,i had to first take all the things out from the front and then take the thing out for use and do the same drill of putting things back,which use to take a lot of time and effort.

So i finally decided to get these pull out metal drawers which were not only sturdy enough to hold a lot of stuff but also were so convenient to organize( You guys know i am an organizing freak ) and reach for.I could see and grab all the stuff that was stored in my bottom cabinet so easily .

Price -The price of these pull out drawers is different depending upon the size you go for which in turn varies according to your cabinet size.Be sure to leave an Inch space off while calculating the size.You can check out the price by clicking here.

Availability-It is available at different store like Lowes,Homedepot etc.It is also available online at +Amazon.com and www.rev-a-shelf.com . I bought mine from +Lowe's Home Improvement

How to Install-It has a complete guide inside the box on how to install it .As in the pictures below my dear hubby installed these for me (please excuse his hairy arms :) ) .

You will need- A Screwdriver/driller and a tape measure.

Step1-I would suggest first place the entire drawer with the tracks and mark the screw holes with a pencil.Also check that the drawer is not too much towards the front so that you can easily close your cabinet drawer.

Step 2-Take the drawers out from the tracks by a simple click button located on the sides(please read the manual for it ) .Place the tracking inside the cabinet exactly where you want your drawer to lay and screw it down in the front and the back.

Woot Woot you are all set to use your pull out drawers,its that simple.

That's it for this one,till by very next,thank you so much for all your lovely comments,do keep them coming.

Home Sweet Home -Accent Wall Decor !!

Hi Girlz,

Today I am sharing with you something which i love doing all the time-Home Décor.I personally believe that decorating a house adds on your touch to the house.Where ever you go throughout your day ,your home is a place for ultimate relaxation and peace of mind.So your surroundings should always be welcoming and beautiful.

So today i will share how i painted one of the walls of my bedroom with a bold pink color-from my favorite color family-Pink and also three different style's of stencils.I am obsessed with the color pink since my childhood and the obsession continues to grow.

Below is a picture of the wall painted only with a base color -beige.

Now lets start painting the wall.

STEP 1-Grab all that you need for painting-I am including here a complete list of the stuff that you would require for painting.All this stuff is easily available at Lowe's.

• Paint Brush-Small regular
• Paint Brush-Angled
• Paint Tray
• Painting tray Liners
• Paint Rollers
• Paint Rollers Covers
• Painter's Tape and Scissors
• Drop Cloth
• Gloves
• Stirrer for paint
• Face Mask if you are allergic ,like me,to paint.
• Ladder if you need them.
• And Last But definitely not the least Paint .Please note that you would require a primer only if you are changing your wall color from dark to light.Otherwise you can do without primer.

STEP 2- Prep Work- I started my 'project paint' by covering my wood floor with plastic floor guards called drop cloth with painter's tape all around the wall that i was planning to paint. You do not want to miss this step otherwise you will end up spoiling your floors .

STEP 3-Place the tray liner in the Paint tray,Stir the paint with a stirrer and pour sufficient amount of paint .Close tightly the lid of the paint tub otherwise there is a risk of paint drying up.

STEP 4-Start by painting all four corners of the wall with a paint brush -regular one.First dip the brush in the paint and and rub the brush against the textured area of the paint tray so that the brush has no paint dripping.

STEP 5-Once you paint all four corners,start painting the entire wall with rollers and follow the same pattern of rubbing the roller on the textured area of the paint tray. Paint the walls in "W" or "V" pattern initially with the roller so as to avoid any streakiness.After that you can paint in regular up and down motions and complete the wall.

STEP 6-Remove the painters tape when the paint is half dry and touch up any areas ,that you feel require touch up ,with angle paint brush.

Now additionally what i did to add my personal touch is what you call "STENCIL PAINTING".

There are tons of options available for style's of stencils.You can buy them from +Amazon.com .  I bought my stencils from Cutting Edge Stencils as well as from +Amazon.com 

For Wall Stencil painting apart from the stuff mentioned above you need your Stencil and a Leveler.

For Stencil Painting the Step involved are-

STEP 1-Let Your base paint rest for 24 hours before you do stencil on it.Follow STEPS 2 and 3 from above.

STEP 4-Place the leveler on wall and draw a line with pencil.Stick one edge of painters tape on that line and tuck one edge of stencil under the other edge of painters tape.Similar secure the other end of stencil with painters tape.

STEP 5-Now dip the roller in the paint and do not forget to roll the roller against the textured part of the paint tray to avoid paint dripping .Then roll the roller on the stencil.Do not roll the roller with too much pressure .Just paint with a light hand to avoid paint seeping under the stencil and ruining the design.

STEP 6-Remove the stencil immediately and let the stencil paint dry for 3 to 4 hours and there you go, you have a completely new and improved room with your personal touch.

C

Above are the pictures of three walls i painted with different style's of stencils.

Hope you enjoyed and learned at the same time .These little things add so much to the beauty of your home.Try it and let me know how you feel about it.

That's it for this one,till my very next,enjoy your surroundings and have fun.

Cheers,
Rashi

Makeup Brushes orgainzation on a budget !

Hi my beauties,

Today I am sharing with you the way I have been organizing my makeup brushes recently.

Recently I picked up these really cute metal baskets from the Target dollar section and I have been enjoying using them as my brush holders.

Here is how they look

For $1 you just can't beat their cuteness and their versatility as they can also be used for holding lipsticks,eyeliner etc.

I really like organizing on a budget,how about you ? Do share your organizing ideas with me.

Hope you enjoyed this post.Till my next,keep smiling and be happy and positive !

Cheers,

Rashi.
