Post your 'Sephora inspired' brush holders

[beauty_marked]

Just a heads up for those of you that are planning to use rice...the rice causes scratches in the handles of the brushes.

Do you think the sand and materials for an aquarium would work well for this? Can't wait to make mine!

I used my Canon 20D SLR and a 50mm lens for this, that's why the pics turned out like that.



As for rice scratching, the rice is all rounded so I'm not sure how it would really damage the brush handles? I guess you'd have to test it out to see. I think sand would work really well too, I was considering that route at first, you can get sand at hobby and craft stores or gardening stores as well, in different colours.

If you want to go the super cheap method, I know someone who posted pics and she had used plain old rice, it worked equally as well.

I love the different pink layers!!!!

I use one of the wire pencil caddies from an office supplie store. Different sections for different brushes....

Do you guys think that colored sand would also scratch the brushes. I've looked all over for the stuff Enkore used in his video, but we don't have a michaels here. I just went to Hobby Lobby thinking they would have something similar and I couldn't find it their either. I ended up going to World Market and getting colored sand, but I never even thought about it scratching the brushes.

fine sand is very gentle, I can't imagine it scratching the brush handles...

Do you have a JoAnn Fabrics store? I found Colorfill there.

Look what I found at the Dollar Store! Not not the brushes silly

Isn't cute?!?

I bought four 1 lb bags of the lil jewel stones to make it look more glossy and pretty. Total: $5!

I have some glass rectangular containers of different depths from the craft section of walmart that I filled with dry yellow split peas! I have two for brushes and actually use a little one for eyeliners. The split peas work nicely.

I made mine a while ago from a random container that my mom was going to throw away [it's so cute!]

I used brown rice (my bf &I tried it to get more whole grains...but it's kinda gross

...glad I found a purpose for it!)
As for the scratching of the brushes, I haven't noticed anything. Although, most of my MAC brushes have the writing worn off from everyday use...

I would make EnKore's kabuki brush holder, but it seemed like a lot of trouble...lol

 

[V15U4L_3RR0R]

I just use an oval shaped metal chocolate tin I got and filled it with Hama beads as I have a bazillion of the damn things already. I'll try and take a picture of it at some point soon.

 

[moustibeil]

Here is mine, i still need to buy some more sand! But i'm happy about it!

 

[bell21]

Here's my new holder, so much better than the bag i had them in before.

 

[MAC_addiction<3]

Do you think you could use simmering granules? they're scented, they're the type you use to put in oil burners and to freshen up ash trays etc?

lol I love how heavy it is, I went back and forth between that one and two round ones while I was in Michaels and ended up going with that one because I knew I wouldn't have to worry about it sliding around too much or worse yet falling off the counter and shattering all over the place.
