Magnetic Maddness!

So my brother was showing me troll physics (Google it and look at images) on the internet and most involved magnets. And while these were hilarious, it got me thinking...MAGNETS ARE UNDER RATED!


I have been eyeing a makeup case for a while but it costs 30 dollars. Its called a unii pallet. Check it out if you like! http://uniicosmetics.com/ Super cute right?

And while it looks pretty...I was not willing to cough up the dough. So being crafty AND thrifty, I have found the perfect alternative!


What you will need:

• Rubbing alcohol
• Wipes/cotton balls/cotton swabs
• A tin (make sure that magnets are attracted to the base)
• a knife or exact-o knife.
• Adhesive backed magnetic sheets
• Makeup you want to condense (ones in tin pans only)
• Mirror

Its a fun thing to do while catching up on TV shows.


STEP 1:
Apply drops of rubbing alcohol around the edges of the makeup.


STEP 2:
Let sit for atleast 15-30 minutes.


STEP 3:
Carefully take the knife  and slide it between the tin pan and the case its in. Glide the knife around the edge. If the pan does not start to lift then add a few more drop of rubbing alcohol and wait a few more minutes.


STEP 4:
Once the pan is lifted out of the case, clean off the glue residue and the sides of the pan using more rubbing alcohol and your wipes.


STEP 5:
Cut a piece of magnet to fit the bottom of the pan. Peel the paper off the adhesive side and adhere the magnet to the bottom of the pan.


STEP 6:
You can now place your makeup in the tin without it moving!


REPEAT ;)


I love the concept of a makeup pallet because sometimes you buy a makeup pallet and use only one colour more than others but the whole pallet takes up lots of room. I am going on vacation very soon and this magnetic pallet is just what I need!


Pictures to be posted soon.
