Broke and Chic

Posted 722 days ago by Amanda Raye

I’m a makeup fanatic. Over the past few years I’ve built up quite a collection, so I had to find something to put all my non-everyday makeup up in. I went to Sephora, Ulta, Target, and then Walmart to find a large cosmetic case, but found them all to be expensive. I was hopeing to spend no more than $20 but they were all about $30+.

I then lost focus, walked around the store aimlessly, and stumbled upon the hunting/fishing section. I found a large empty tackle box for $8. It was the exact size I needed, and had all these little compartments. No, it isn’t especially cute, but you could always paint it or add some stickers to “girl” it up a bit!

Way too expensive Cosmetic Cases:

Other Options = Half the Price:

These two are from Home Depot. Who would of thought a tool bag could be a great way to store excess makeup!

$9 - Husky Tool Bag

Only $5.99 - Workforce Tool Case

This has great compartments as well. Just like the $30 makeup case.

I finally settled on this tackle box from Walmart for only $8.

P.S.  Buy a tackle box or tool case for your makeup, “girl” it up and send your results to hey@brokeandchic.com.
