Any ideas!?

***MindySue*** · 06-01-2007, 08:38 AM

Not sure if this is the right place cause it's not really about makeup. but...

I am looking for a type of cup to put my makeup brushes in. I want it to be cute (duh) and I have no idea where to start looking! I'd greatly appreciate if anyone would send me pictures of theirs, tell me where they got theirs, or send me ones that I can buy online or find at a store! Anything! Thank you.

this might sound odd but cups, like tea/coffee cups, or cute fancy glasses you can get at any $ store, or ikea even. a huge pencil case stood on end works too

Target had some really cute glittery pen cups a while back and thats what i use for my brushes. It was only $1!

You could always make one. Find some cute fabric and cover a cup with it, and then maybe glue some cute stones or buttons on it, or use a glitter pen or something. That would be fun, and you could make it match your room or your personality, and no one else would have one!

Here's a few lil things i found on ebay, i'm sure you could find better.

Eyeglass/pencil holder:

Cute lil pencil/cell phone cup

Love this one, handpainted mini teapot. The lid comes off and you could put your brushes in there.

Just a couple of ideas.

When i worked at a makeup studio we used to store our brushes in these:

They are called table top carousels, they are for aquarella brushes and pencils but, we bought it at Sam's Club and we were using it for pencils and pens at first in the reception area but, we started using them as makeup brush storage after we thought it was a good idea since we had so many

at the bottom you can also put some eyeshadows or accessories, or whatever

***MindySue*** · 06-01-2007, 10:39 AM

***Delphine*** · 06-03-2007, 02:29 AM

Check at Target or craft stores.

snowjesh · 06-03-2007, 03:06 AM

target or wall mart will be good choice

well, talking about nautical stuff, i have a big blue glass with some sea stars engraved, it was made for bathroom stuff but it's perfect for hair brushes (i'll take a pic of it too

). of course i bought it !

i got it at a shop called Pier Import for a few euros (the shop was closing so there was like 70% off).
i also have plastic thingie from agnès b, nothing too fancy though.

you can look in craft stores,they have lots of bathroom accessories with sometimes discounts, and you can easily find some cups you can use for your own stuff.
