I have so many treasured memories from my childhood, but I especially loved when my parents would let me go home with my aunt and uncle after church on Sundays. Not only did this mean I got to eat Del Taco for lunch, get a dipped cone from Frosty’s, watch episode after episode of The Three Stooges, but I also got to play with all my aunt’s makeup! You know, all the cool things your parents don’t let you do all in one day.
I think about all the amazing times and can’t help but wish I had a little niece to spoil and give her all my testers too! Not that my 5 nephews aren’t the greatest, but I doubt their mom’s would be excited if I sent them home with eyeshadow and lip liner…
What I love most about makeup is how pretty it all is. This is one of those things I am a total girly girl about. I like to get it all set up so I can see what I am working with {just like my aunt did}. I used to have them all lined up on some elevated blocks, but have been on the lookout for something prettier. While randomly stopping in at an antique shop last weekend, I found this perfect old mirror.
I unscrewed the mirror and carefully popped it out, cleaned it, sprayed it with a darker metallic gold paint, let it dry and voilà! It was the easiest way to update the look and feel of my vanity!
Now all I need to complete the setup is some Michael Jackson playing{preferably PYT} and a date with the hubby to get ready for!
Aunts are the best! That mirror and your memories are great! You have a knack for making things beautiful
oooo, pretty!
