Recycled boxes

I did a previous box but it wasn't holding very well. Then I just use individual boxes as a box. I tape the center together but I prefer to have good containers than boxes. So I decided to snap off the cover. 
Then I tape a bunch together. Actually 3 stacks are perfect but I have 4 boxes. And I don't want to waste a box. 
Tape them up. 
Tape the back too. 
And tada. It's simple enough. 
The last one was upside down and the box is not in a good condition but oh well. I still prefer 3 stacks but I definitely could use the extra storage. 
In case you're wondering I put one for toner one for serum one for moisturizer and the last one for sunscreen. 

Wish I could make more but seeing the new bellabox I think they change the packaging. So no more recycling boxes for me. As I don't know (yet) how to reuse the new one.

Bella box June




My boxes. I just use as many scotch tape as possible. As you can see it just fit 4 bellaboxes and and one cover.

June box is so pretty. I just wish for my LUXE city guide, I get something else other than Bali. I mean I did say I want to get married there, but I want other city guide. Bangkok would be perfect. Or even Phuket.

Depot MUA shadows

Had so much fun depotting eyeshadows. Love searching the colors too. So pretty. If only I had a proper palette or what and I bought all the colors. It will be so fun.

Lipstick depot

It is so much harder to actually depot your lipstick. Well in my head it was just making it melt and pouring it into the container. In reality it was much more difficult. The lipstick just doesn't want to work with you.

I use the oil burner thing with a bit of water. Then put aluminum over it and place the broken lipstick particles into it. The aluminum was not the proper sheet. I use whatever was lying around at home. It doesn't have a proper base. It was too small to cover a base so I had to pile it up which in turn make the lipstick leak.
Somehow even when the water is hot the lipstick just doesn't want to melt. In the end after waiting for so long it melted. But. It was so freaking inconsistent. It was not watery. After pouring whatever I can into the container, there was so much more left on aluminum. So I had to reheat it. And whatever on the container was not smooth and it was just awkward looking.

I even try putting the aluminum over the fire directly. It just turned black and gave a pork roast smell. Yummy but weird.
YouTube told me that I should not fill the container till full as it will expend. But right I can't even filled up to half of the plastic. See the picture, it's not nice looking right? Plus I made such a mess at the work area.

At least it's done. The rest that stick to the aluminum just can't be help. My fingers are in pain. They got burned.

Updated: I just burned the aluminum. Aluminum can burn? It got on fire and panic and threw it to the floor. It could bun the whole wires of laptop chargers. I took Kelly blanket and put out the fire. Ugh. All I can think now was if only I took a picture of that fire. It was pretty cool.

Exam Period

Exam period is good for me. I will do lots of things except studying. I made a really crappy nail polish holder. I would like to see my nail polish being display or at least have a proper place to home them. Most containers are too short to contain them. So I made one. Really crappy one.
Made with old box and masking tape.
