2022-06-06 15:58:03 +0000 UTCI think she means her Youtube video of her applying her makeup, but I was hoping for a list of everything on the table when she started this one.

2020-10-15 01:12:55 +0000 UTCThank you so much for showing me how to make solid perfume! I used to loved wearing gorgeous perfumes, my favorite was Poison, but I've found my hay-fever has gotten worse and worse over the years to the point I can't wear atomized perfumes. I'm ok with oils or solids, perhaps because the oil stops it from evaporating off my skin as much so I'm not constantly inhaling it. I never would have thought to spray some of my Poison into a glass and mix it into beeswax and jojoba oil. I'm going to have to look for the perfect container and have a try!

2020-09-19 10:56:51 +0000 UTCDon't feel bad about using the cigarette cases for the makeup and removing the holder. You are repurposing it to something far more beautiful and happy. Those cases probably lead someone to death from cancer.

2020-09-16 02:30:06 +0000 UTCWow. This was one of the most helpful and inspiring how-tos I've ever seen! About a year ago I started creating a vanity in an antique secretary that was a family heirloom. I make a lot of my own cosmetics and was already using some vintage bottles and jars for things, but this is way beyond anything I might have done on my own. Custom cigarette-case compacts? New lipsticks made old? Swoon. Can't wait to discover more ways to make things beautiful.

2020-09-15 02:15:02 +0000 UTCYou are so beeping talented, skilled, creative, intelligent, and absolutely elegant. It is plainly seen you are a good person in your heart as well. You are a gift the world and deserve to have a very happy life. Your hostage is amazing too and his filming style is wonderful. Thank you so much for sharing the beauty and process of your work and masterpieces. Bless your heart

2020-09-14 03:31:09 +0000 UTCThank you for posting this! My beautiful, 90 year old mama recently passed away. I was left her collection of all her old cosmetic and beauty containers. I didn’t know what to do with them. You’ve given me a way to keep my mothers memory alive as I use these antique containers!!!!
Claudia'Sprite' Gaughan
2020-09-13 19:07:29 +0000 UTCGreat to see all these additional tips! I scrolled through, but didn't see if anyone has a good recipe for making the solid perfume using alcohol/water-based fragrance. I've seen a lot online using oil-based, but I'm not sure how to get a commercial perfume to blend with wax and jojoba oil. Any pointers would be appreciated.

2020-08-09 18:10:49 +0000 UTCI absolutely love this!
Amanda Nguyen
2020-06-29 16:22:19 +0000 UTCMy sister is going to love this as her Christmas present, I'm not a makeup wearing person, but need too due to the weather today is not so kind on my sensitive skin, thank you Christine for your wonderful ideas.
Kerry Shepherd-Bolt
2020-06-28 04:09:19 +0000 UTCWhat did you use to take off the floral pattern on the lipstick tubes?
Julia Bohn
2020-06-13 03:55:31 +0000 UTCIs there a list of the different containers? I was trying to find the ones the eyeshadows are in and kept calling it the wring thing lol

2020-06-06 20:44:18 +0000 UTCI love rewatching this video because the camera work is so mesmerizing. My favorite part is the cold cream jar.
Rachel Forrest
2020-06-01 03:35:01 +0000 UTCI love this so much. What a dream. I am going to do the same. I am excited to begin collecting the vintage pieces. Would you be able to list what you use to clean them? I would hate to ruin something because I cleaned it with something too harsh.
Diana Suko
2020-05-29 02:09:00 +0000 UTCLove this! Also why I registered <3 love some more beauty content xx

2020-05-23 12:29:14 +0000 UTCHello, Christine! THANK YOU for this video, is was the reason, why I registered as a patreoness. Storing my makeup in beautiful antique containers is something, that I always wanted and was looking for. And your free video on Youtube just blew my mind! I am so happy I found you, I wish it happened much earlier! I only wish your videos were longer and more detailed... It would be very nice, if you could list products you used in the description, it would make the content just perfect :)

2020-05-21 08:07:04 +0000 UTCI'm only 9 minutes in and this is already one of the most awesome tutorials I've ever seen.
Florence Foxglove
2020-05-14 02:27:08 +0000 UTCThank you so much for this Christine. What a great video! I subscribed especially to see this after I saw your makeup tutorial on YouTube. It’s really inspired me. I just went on a mini vintage make up buying spree on eBay and Etsy. So dangerous! Although my way to get a hold of a Dior bottle you’ve gotta spend about $200 AUD on ebay In the past I’ve depotted a lot of my make up but I’ve never thought about putting it in any of my vintage make up compacts! Now I can’t wait too!
Rebecca Kettle
2020-05-02 16:11:50 +0000 UTCThis is my absolute favorite video you have done! You have inspired me to make a set like this for my daughter. She loves Christian Dior bottles. I hope I can find the same vintage stuff you used. This was such a wonderful, creative video! I love it! :)
Brenda L.
2020-05-02 15:03:33 +0000 UTCThank you, now I’m bidding on eBay for vintage vanity decor to redo and use haha but honestly it’s so fun and I never thought of it until you did this
Lydia
2020-05-01 17:30:09 +0000 UTCWould you please list the products you used to make the eye shadow compacts, including the items used to make the pretty molds and casts?
Yohana Boss
2020-04-29 00:24:06 +0000 UTCSo I’m in the middle of making one, I think it’s going to work... I just have to rethink a few things because it’s a really thin case. Excellent overall size, I’ll end up with 2 Inglot lip sticks, 4 Inglot eye shadows and 1 Inglot blush, but very slender mid century style, I had to shave down the model board... hold on... thin plywood... I’ve just had an idea!!

2020-04-28 13:43:30 +0000 UTCAbsolutely glorious! I also love vintage train cases and trunks.

Libby Donovan
2020-04-19 15:58:04 +0000 UTCChristine, what kind of paint did you use on the lipstick cases and the powder case? I am absolutely going to do this for my makeup. Such a good idea!
Shelly English
2020-04-19 14:42:23 +0000 UTCEtsy is great for compacts and vintage bottles too. Found some great ones for pretty decent prices. Even found the exact lipstick tubes (though they range in the mind $30 area) and the Christian Dior bottles (around $100 per bottle). If you decide to get perfume bottles make sure they are not lead crystal/glass as that is dangerous to store products in.

Jeanie Gilroy
2020-04-15 13:33:20 +0000 UTCI love this!!!
Franchesca Baker
2020-04-14 05:26:46 +0000 UTCNot sure if this would be helpful to anyone, but I once re-filled an original milkglass Pond's container with Pond's and the zinc lid didn't have enough of a barrier (despite me adding a paper lid liner) to keep it from oxidizing and ruining the product. HOWEVER you can buy that really thin cork that was used in a lot of these old style containers to line the lids still on Amazon in sheets and cut it to fit and works well. :) If your container is missing one it's super helpful, especially if you want to keep it somewhere where it needs to be more tight fitting so the product doesn't leak (I travel with mine).

Michelle Kohler
2020-04-12 17:12:48 +0000 UTCI wonder if Dita would like one of those solid perfumes? I own an owl brooch from Avon that reminds me of the ones you have. Another lovely video.
Wren McNally
2020-04-11 16:01:39 +0000 UTCAh, I've been collecting some vintage makeup containers over the past few years and putting modern makeup into them but you have taken it a step further too of course. The creating a solid perfume is a fantastic idea
Lucy
2020-04-11 10:47:17 +0000 UTCLoved this! You’re a antique queen, Christine! 🖤
Marissa Ritter
2020-04-11 06:19:33 +0000 UTCMaybe do a series on makeing your own makeup and things and customizing makeuo brushes 😁

Sara Garcia
2020-04-08 20:28:02 +0000 UTCIt’s really incredible, I love it. For the old make up, personally I paint and do some kind of art with it (nails polish, lipstick etc), it’s a cool way to recycle it 😉.
Cindy
2020-04-08 19:59:06 +0000 UTCI am mesmerized and completely in love!
Nataly
2020-04-08 19:41:10 +0000 UTCI loved this so much that I’m going to try to find fancy containers around my house just to decant my cold cream so I have a fun little project I do at home!

Michelle
2020-04-06 09:16:47 +0000 UTCI just loved this. I collect old compacts and cig cases. I now know what to do with them. What was the material you used to create the templete for the eyeshadow? SO lovely.
Lisa
2020-04-06 02:57:57 +0000 UTCI thoroughly enjoyed that, thank you ❤
Janeen
2020-04-05 18:25:06 +0000 UTCThank you for bringing such beauty to such a chaotic time. I’ve been home now for 3 weeks cleaning and decluttering, now I know it was to prepare to make it luxurious and beautiful. Thank you again for showing me the way.

2020-04-05 05:07:49 +0000 UTCLoved this video. Btw do we know who won the pet painting contest?
Ketrinna Hammell
2020-04-04 20:54:05 +0000 UTCWhat a beautiful video. Enjoyed this so very much. I have always loved vintage make-up cases but never knew what to do with them besides display them. This is a wonderful way to give them a much a deserved new life.
DarkMoon
2020-04-04 20:02:00 +0000 UTCTruly an amazing video from start to finish! You’ve thoroughly inspired me to get crafting with my own projects. Truth be told, it’s very intimidating to a person with a minor grasp on artistic talent, but what better time to tap into it than now! Thank you for keeping us sane during these crazy times. 🥰😘

Christine shanus
2020-04-03 22:08:54 +0000 UTCIf you can pre-print postage labels at home (like stamps.com), you can schedule package pickups from your home and your regular carrier will pick up during his/her regular route.
Jen Deal
2020-04-03 02:14:44 +0000 UTCYou kept most of the antique intact. I think a bit of altering on the cig case was okay. You're already giving it a longer life.
Jen Deal
2020-04-03 01:45:02 +0000 UTCLOL. On your post about possible projects I suggested something similar to this without seeing this yet. Same wavelength...
Jen Deal
2020-04-03 01:42:58 +0000 UTCThat is incredible! You're amazing!
Luisa Black
2020-04-03 01:15:09 +0000 UTCWow! This was incredible! I really want to try it! The only concern I had was when I saw the container for the face powder. Inside (under the lid) I think I spotted green rust, which can be common on brass. Please be careful!
Isabelle Rivard
2020-04-03 00:25:22 +0000 UTCVery elegant! You are such an artisian!

Theresa Clay
2020-04-03 00:00:20 +0000 UTCWhat did she use on the exterior of the lipsticks and the cold cream jar that she airbrushed? Just contact paper?
Nicholas Frig
2020-04-02 18:20:41 +0000 UTCI need to buy one of your spider web out let cover molds!!! 😭😭😭
Rebecca Valentine
2020-04-02 10:31:48 +0000 UTCThey're so lovely! The emblems match seamlessly. I'm looking at getting some lipsticks from Lush which come without packaging and instead of buying their reusable cases I'll try and find a vintage one, I never thought of that. Those giveaway boxes at the end look so nice.
Stacey Jelley
2020-04-02 10:02:19 +0000 UTCThis is so beautiful and distinct. I appreciate it so much. I want to put love into a collection of my own. It’s so beautiful 😭
Marina salinas
2020-04-02 08:24:44 +0000 UTCI simply adored your tutorial using vintage cases! I have an old jar with a silver and pink enamel top along with a Pink and silver cigarette case. I used the cigarette case for business cards but your idea is so much better!
Leslie Summerill
2020-04-02 05:06:00 +0000 UTCOmg that was beautiful. Christine, you are why we can have nice things 💋
Linda
2020-04-02 02:23:16 +0000 UTCWhat a beautiful project! Everything looks like what a dead old lady would have!
Aunt Debbie Halloween
2020-04-02 00:57:31 +0000 UTCI was blown away watching you paint such tiny delicate flowers on the lipstick cases. You have such a steady hand. The entire video was so cool and what a fun way to reuse treasures from the past.
Kait
2020-04-02 00:55:59 +0000 UTCThis was amazing!! I'm always blown away by the intricate details in all of the things your make. Those perfume broaches are stunning.
Caitlin Kenny
2020-04-02 00:35:01 +0000 UTCThis was so great to watch!! I want to do this to my make up! I think this is one of my favourite of your videos <3
Alex
2020-04-01 23:28:34 +0000 UTCI love this so much! I'm going to start looking for antique pieces as soon as I comment! Amazing and beautiful. ❤❤
Meredith Star Frigo
2020-04-01 23:12:19 +0000 UTCThis was so amazingly fun to watch! I absolutely adore every single piece.❤
Allison
2020-04-01 21:59:53 +0000 UTCI'm not much of a makeup kinda gal, but this would be the best display. As always, you exceed in everything you do and I'm left with a sense of awe. There were items in this video that reminded me of my childhood that I had forgotten....my Aunt and Mom had the fancy bottles and the perfume broches and because they were always there, I didn't consider it vintage, but I wish I had held on to some of those things that I played with .
Sherrie Potgieter
2020-04-01 20:42:47 +0000 UTCI love this so much Christine! Can anyone tell me what she uses as the inner base of the eye shadow holder? Did I hear correctly poster board? I definitely will be doing that project!
M. Christina Sotomayor
2020-04-01 20:04:16 +0000 UTCamazing!!!! xx

MelKel
2020-04-01 17:38:34 +0000 UTCChristine, these are amazing. I have a question, though. I'm old enough to remember the 60s and 70s iterations of these types of female accoutrements and I remember that they were gold- and silver-tone that was sometimes not so sturdy. Did you have any problems when sanitizing these with boiling water or alcohol? Did any of the finish come off or streak?
CarolAnn Jarnagin
2020-04-01 16:56:18 +0000 UTCThis is so inspiring being a vintage enthusiast myself! It makes everything so beautiful.

Dawn Eldred
2020-04-01 13:53:05 +0000 UTCI am stunned. Just lovely... you took an idea and added the typically Christine McConnell extra which never disappoint. I have been walking to do this since Dita's book but you took it to a whole new level! I envy the makeup kit receivers. Just wow!
Jessica Harmsworth
2020-04-01 12:56:28 +0000 UTCSadly that is going to be through the app and nothing to do with her.
Jessica Harmsworth
2020-04-01 12:52:32 +0000 UTCSo what she did, was freeze them first so make them more stable during transfer. then you pop them in your new tube... however.. sometimes if you handle them to much or if you bump them you can leave fingerprints or blemishes on the lipstick.. if you don't want them there, take a hair drying on a low setting and blow the warm air at the lipstick tube to smooth it out. This isn't required for personal use, but she may have done it since they are give aways. Its in Dita Von Teese book, Your Beauty Mark.. highly recommend.
Jessica Harmsworth
2020-04-01 12:51:48 +0000 UTCAmazing! I feel so inspired. <3 For some reason, this episode felt extra magical. Loved it!
Christy B.
2020-04-01 12:33:01 +0000 UTCUpcycling at its finest! After inserting the frozen lipsticks into the cases, what was the next step? A hair dryer? Maybe I nodded off at that split second because your videos are sensationally relaxing dear Christine. Thank you for sharing and know that we all eagerly await every project you share with us! ❤️
Sally Thorne
2020-04-01 10:15:31 +0000 UTCWow! Inspires!
Lolita Druzinina
2020-04-01 07:44:05 +0000 UTCThanks for another amazing idea and episode Christine :) Such a great idea to bring these wonderful antiques "back to life" and to help them get not only admired but actually used on a daily basis. I dream of making a set like what you made one day! On a similar subject but side note, have you ever heard of LunatiCK Cosmetic Labs? I think you would appreciate their macabre style; think eyeshadow palettes in coffins, contour palettes that look like the book of spells from Hocus Pocus, and lipsticks that look like bullet shells! More importantly they're a USA company, their makeup is 100% Vegan, Talc Free, Paraben Free, & Cruelty Free. Take Care! Here's their site if you're interested in checking it out. https://www.lunaticklabs.com/
Wednesday
2020-04-01 07:40:26 +0000 UTCWow! How does one tiny person have so much talent in them! You have an inner universe that is ever-expanding and I'm delighted I get to explore it. Thank you for creating such wonderful videos. I hope to see a cosmetic company team up with you one day to create more vintage-inspired beauty.
Latie George
2020-04-01 06:17:58 +0000 UTCThis was phenomenal... Now watch makeup containers skyrocket on eBay. lol I have some follow up questions though... What thickness of wood would you have used for the eyeshadow cases? Also how long did you boil the metal containers?
Ashley Hasna
2020-04-01 06:15:28 +0000 UTCWatching from my phone as well, vimeo tends to spool for some reason on my phone. I live for these broadcasts, even got my 16 year old daughter into them!
ROBIN BORDELON
2020-04-01 05:12:10 +0000 UTCI was just thinking the same thing! If your laptop has an hdmi port then you can connect it your tv with that cable. Once connected just find the right input source and you should be good to go.
Meredith Kiyomura
2020-04-01 05:06:40 +0000 UTCHi Kristine, I was disappointed that Patreon doesn't have an app that will work with my Smart TV. It is ok watching on a laptop, but not as good. Any way they can fix this? I have a Roku TV. have been enjoying your Youtube vids on my large TV so it is kind of a step down to watch Patreon vids on a small laptop. Thank you! I love your videos, they are really inspiring!!!

2020-04-01 00:23:02 +0000 UTCOH. MY. GAAAAAAWSH 😭 This was AMAZING 😍 I have to go through my smalls box to look for my antique containers, I hope I find some. I don't wear make-up, I used to and also used to do stage make-up, but I'd soooo have these on display. You're incredible. Sending much love, stay safe and healthy 🖤🖤xx

Shanda Jones
2020-03-31 23:45:09 +0000 UTCI'm fortunate enough to live in an old town with an auction house that does estate sales often. With the world in its state the auctions are now online. From the comforts of my home, clutching my Canadian smock pillow, channeling my inner Christine (will be sure to be drinking tea from tea cup.) Hopefully, I'll bid on something old and win.
Scribby Scribner
2020-03-31 23:44:56 +0000 UTCNew patron here but longtime fan of your work! Absolutely loved this video- as a lover of cosmetics, vintage cases and packaging have always been appealing to me. What a fantastic way to make them a functional part of a modern makeup collection!
Kristen
2020-03-31 23:37:42 +0000 UTCWow. Definition of perfection: C McC swirling that cold cream surface on a lazy susan.
Racheal Jones
2020-03-31 23:27:53 +0000 UTCGorgeous! Definitely something I want to try.
Marilena DiLiddo
2020-03-31 23:00:52 +0000 UTCWOW!!!! That was exceptional! Fantastic work/artistry!
Sophia Z
2020-03-31 22:25:46 +0000 UTCThank you!!
Megan
2020-03-31 21:50:04 +0000 UTCIf you have a Roku Vimeo is one of the options. Or, can you connect your device to your TV with an HDMI cable? I've had great success with that.
Mina Murray
2020-03-31 21:48:04 +0000 UTC***This is definitely one of my FAVORITE videos! <3 I have several antique perfume bottles and would LOVE to know how you cleaned them out??****
Trace
2020-03-31 21:34:40 +0000 UTCLove all these ideas - especially using the atomizer for your makeup setting spray. And I foresee a run on antique & vintage cosmetic & perfume containers on eBay soon (better than them just sitting around and not being used though :-) ).
Megan Eppel
2020-03-31 21:27:35 +0000 UTCIll def look into it thank you!!!
Megan
2020-03-31 21:21:41 +0000 UTCYou’ve outdone yourself. Thank you, thank you for spending the time and showing us how to continue enhancing the little, beautiful things 🖤
Charity Damon
2020-03-31 21:19:35 +0000 UTCI was having the same issue, but I used the 'cast screen' function to cast my phone to the Chromecast. Is that an option for you maybe?
Stefanie Hardy
2020-03-31 21:06:06 +0000 UTCsame!
Dana Beaufait
2020-03-31 20:59:47 +0000 UTCAHHHH! This video was amazing! so inspiring and it love the idea of re potting all of your favorite make up in to a whole style. Your lipstick cases turned out amazing! I didn't know the amazing Dita Von Tease had a perfume looking into that! and Ive been thinking about using a perfume atomizer for setting spray for a bit but you took it all to a whole new level <3 It looks impeccable all together.
Dana Beaufait
2020-03-31 20:59:23 +0000 UTCI was so excited when I saw this video was ready! I got in my really nice pyjamas, made myself a beautiful gin and tonic in my lead crystal vintage glass and snuggled up with my cat Luna... what a fantastic and beautiful way to spend 30 minutes. I can't wait to start collecting vintage cases and doing this with my own makeup, I always saw these lovely things at vintages fairs but couldn't think of a use for them... now I do :) x
Simone Macdonald
2020-03-31 20:38:52 +0000 UTCI absolutely loved watching this video! It was amazing watching these antiques get transformed! One of the best how to videos ever! Thanks Christine 💕😊
Brenda L.
2020-03-31 20:36:50 +0000 UTCGorgeous. Love this idea.
Monica Adams
2020-03-31 20:33:45 +0000 UTCI don't know that I've appreciated this before now, but you have a very calming affect.
Sarah
2020-03-31 20:28:31 +0000 UTCOmg now I need to do this!

2020-03-31 20:04:33 +0000 UTCThis brought me so much joy. These are stunning!
kate mcauley
2020-03-31 20:02:56 +0000 UTCWhat kind of paint did you use on the lipstick & Cream jar lid? x
Melinda DGW
2020-03-31 20:02:01 +0000 UTCI’m not a huge crafter. I like seeing craft masters at work, but this one is up my alley as I love makeup and old trinket boxes/containers that are functional! I’ll likely transform some of my small antiques into functional works with some of these great ideas. Thanks!
Colleen Diane Sakane
2020-03-31 20:00:35 +0000 UTCOnward to eBay!!!!
Jessica Woods
2020-03-31 19:59:25 +0000 UTCOmg I had no idea how much I needed this video in my life 😍🤩 I started using Besame products a few months ago, because they’re amazing—but mostly because I’m a huge sucker for packaging! Now I can make it myself and put other products in it that I love, but have not so cute compacts 💖💖💖
Darling Cottage Diary
2020-03-31 19:59:10 +0000 UTCSuch pretty containers!
Sarah Bear
2020-03-31 19:54:23 +0000 UTCHow pretty! I've always loved those vintage bottles and lipstick tubes, this is such a great idea!
Sasha
2020-03-31 19:53:16 +0000 UTCTruly beautiful, I’m always blown away by what you do 🖤
Clara Vratsanos
2020-03-31 19:42:59 +0000 UTCIm very excited to watch this! I do prefer youtube videos though so I can easily throw them up on my tv but i understand using vimeo. Does anyone know an easy way where i can get that on my tv?
Megan
2020-03-31 19:37:39 +0000 UTCFabulous! ✨
Juliana Janette
2020-03-31 19:31:35 +0000 UTCBeautiful! Now on the hunt for some more vintage cigarette cases. Thank you for the wonderful work
Joe Black
2020-03-31 19:28:18 +0000 UTCThese were such great ideas! I always love the antique cigarette cases but never had a use for them. I’m definitely inspired to try some of these for the vanity I’m remodeling.
Sarah Ellis
2020-03-31 19:10:10 +0000 UTCBlahha! :D
Christine McConnell
2020-03-31 19:03:56 +0000 UTCThat entire Amor Eterno line from Melt was a MUST for me--I bought the PR kit. The brushes are to die for! I'm so happy for/incredibly jealous of the contest winners. One day I'll win one!
Jennifer Treviño
2020-03-31 19:02:01 +0000 UTCLol kinda sad you switched from saying “modge podge” to “mod podge.” Such a great video! Can’t wait to try this out ❤️
Aysia Rodriguez
2020-03-31 18:59:21 +0000 UTCThinking velcro would work to adhere the pouf instead of sewing? So it can easily be changed out?
Angela Pogue
2020-03-31 18:54:58 +0000 UTCThis is my favorite thing you've done so far, so beautiful and creative ❤️
tiffany
2020-03-31 18:45:57 +0000 UTCThank you so much for this I needed this lovely lovely content today xxxx
Dawn Hargy-Louden
2020-03-31 18:42:14 +0000 UTCThis is so elegant and beautiful and still so gleefully creepy! I am curious why you glued in the eyeshadows instead of using the magnets. Perhaps the cigarette cases aren’t magnetic? Just thinking about the ease of changing them. Thanks so much for this lovely video!
Cariushka
2020-03-31 18:41:46 +0000 UTCThis is so lovely and calm and inspiring to watch. I did have a question. The blush tins look like they're brass? Is there any worry about the creamy blush interacting with the brass? Is there some sort of coating? Or is it just not a worry?
Theora Rice
2020-03-31 18:37:13 +0000 UTCAbsolutely amazing, as usual!
Monica Armer
2020-03-31 18:35:46 +0000 UTCSo beautiful!

Tammi Harris-Crocheted Atrocities
2020-03-31 16:47:15 +0000 UTCFor sure gonna put my setting spray in an atomizer!! GENIUS!!!
Christina Romero
2020-03-31 16:46:44 +0000 UTCMy grandmother has sooo many vintage makeup and perfume items from Avon and beyond, I used to play with her atomizers and act all fancy when I was younger. Maybe when we're able to visit I'll see if she will part with some so I can do this, this was so fantastic I loved it
Summer Rose Barnes
2020-03-31 16:39:05 +0000 UTC😍😍😍😍

2020-03-31 16:24:33 +0000 UTCLove this soo much!!!! The makeup compacts came out beautiful. Wish I had the patience and steady hand to do this 😊

Sarah Kane
2020-03-31 16:11:02 +0000 UTCOoooo Lovely! I have a few vintage compacts I might be able to put to good use now! Christine- how did you sterilize the containers?
Knittykittycraft
2020-03-31 16:10:22 +0000 UTCThis was amazing! I can't believe you posted this today, when just yesterday I found a lovely vintage powder container in the attic, and was wondering if I could somehow reuse it. I'll definitly try now! Thank you so much for your incredible work and the inspiration!
Susann
2020-03-31 16:06:15 +0000 UTCAmazing ideas for the vintage containers! I have already snuck over to ebay to find some! Now all I need is a pretty vanity to sit them on!!
Celeste
2020-03-31 15:51:39 +0000 UTCIncredible. I can't get enough of how amazing this is, not to mention every other project undertaken.
Sebastian
2020-03-31 15:41:45 +0000 UTCThis was fantastic. Like watching your favorite witch make her beauty potions ;)
Eric Mutzabaugh
2020-03-31 15:29:56 +0000 UTCLooking forward to it! Hope all is well.
Corbin Coniglio
2020-03-31 15:28:02 +0000 UTCLove this! I have a small collection of make up compacts. I adore you and Dita and it makes me smile knowing you are friends with her. I hope to see her in person one day. Her shows look amazing. Love stay safe.
Rebecca Valentine
2020-03-31 15:24:29 +0000 UTCDoing this for pictures of me getting ready for my wedding. I already have my perfume in a vintage bottle that I was gonna use but I might as well make every single one of these items as well 🖤🖤🖤

Christine McConnell
2020-03-31 15:16:40 +0000 UTCHello! Thank you so much Lily! I sprayed a clear coat over the gold leaf, so it's holding up super well :)) And you can do anything that works for you! There are several great brands of gold paint that would look amazing as a substitute for the gold leaf :D
Christine McConnell
2020-03-31 15:15:06 +0000 UTCPHENOMENAL!!!! OMG!!! 😍😍😍😍😍
Ellerie “Sit in Your Tears” Maddox

Katie Kelley
2020-03-31 15:09:27 +0000 UTCUm, WOW! 🤩 They are so incredibly beautiful! I have a few vintage makeup and perfume containers that I’ve wanted to do this with for a long time, but wasn’t sure how and was always too nervous of ruining them. I’m definitely going to try it now - thanks so much for showing us! A question - how is the gold leaf holding up on the interior bits? Would using gold spray paint be a good alternative for me to try? I know it wouldn’t be as luxe as the gold leaf. And holy smokes, I am green with envy of those giveaway winners! 💚
Lily
2020-03-31 15:09:09 +0000 UTCSo aesthetically pleasing this is so gorgeous. 😍😍😍 I'm looking foward to watching this! With the pandemic going on it's all been crazy. Thanks for the content. 🖤💄
Samuel Gomez
2020-03-31 15:07:30 +0000 UTCGorgeous, gorgeous, GOR-GEOUS!! I think I have my grandma's old compact somewhere and an old cigarette case. Time to do some 'renovations'! Thank you Christine!!
