Expensive meets Cheap and Crafty

Which one of these is not like the other? Haha! So for Christmas my wonderful friend Nichole gifted me these Chanel makeup brushes. I’m such a lucky girl! But just for the record there are two things I will spend serious money on without gilt. Cosmetics and hair products. They are the two things I find to be worth it. I truly don’t know how I ever survived without these makeup brushes. The foundation brush is especially amazing. So very worth the money as I will most likely keep them forever and would gladly buy them again. Anyhoo… being that they are so pretty I felt it shameful to shut them away in a makeup kit so I came up with a cute way to display them. Here’s what I came up with after a trip to the dollar store….

A cute glass case vase and a bag of decorative glass gems will do nicely for a whopping $2.00 bucks. Then I added a little Chanel ribbon I had from a previous present (but you can use any kind in any color).

The outcome is so simple but so pretty!

A little creativity and a couple of bucks goes a long way 🙂
