How to: make a brush holder

I'm not too thrilled with how mine turned out but it's decent
Anyone have any better ideas?
All you need is:
any jar or vase of your choice
any ribbon or decorative items of your choice
some vase fillers
anddd of course some brushes
Has anyone else attempted to make your own brush holder?

CCO & Mac Haul

Well today I took a little trip to the closest CCO
I didn't find as much as I was hoping but at least I didn't come back empty handed!
CCO
MAC Mineralized Skinfinish in porcelain pink

MAC blush in spaced out

Bobbi Brown creamy concealer kit
(I wanted the regular concealer but they didn't have my shade so I just got the whole kit)

this is the bottom compartment of the bobbi brown concealer kit


MAC
(not from CCO)

MAC lipstick in I like it like that
I went to MAC intending to finalllyyy get snob but I swatched this right beside it and the color is so similar - the reason I got this instead of snob (for now anyways haha) is because 1. this is a limited edition color and 2. this is a cremesheen instead of a satin and I'm more of a cremesheen gal
MAC blushcreme in brit wit
It is not as dark as it appears in the photo, sorry!

MAC rubenesque paint pot

If you want swatches next time let me know and I'll make it happen!
Any thoughts or fabulous makeup finds I can try out?

Sigma Face brushes

I recently ordered my first Sigma brushes
I purchased the Sigma Makeup professional brushes face kit for $39
Comes in this cute packaging
The face brush set includes the SS150, SS190, SS187, SS168, and the SS194
Sigma just added a bunch of their brushes that you can now buy separately.
Check out their website for much better pictures!

www.sigmamakeup.com

It came with a free travel size SS217
I really do love these brushes, especially compared to the price of the Mac brushes
I love Mac, don't get me wrong, but I hate dishing out $50 for a single brush
It's just much more fun to save up the money for makeup
If you've tried the Sigma brushes let me know which one is your favorite!
