Art Break - Lipstick Gift for Miss Buttons

Miss Buttons really liked the look of the Revlon Ultra Matte liquid lipstick in 'Love' so I thought I would get her one.
I had to go to four different stores to find one, they are either popular or in low stock.

Next time we meet, we are going to wear pearls and be fancy ladies, so that gave me a theme for the packaging.
So I used a Bellabox

And painted the inside red, swirling the paint to look like a bed of rose petals.

For the outside, I was just going to cover it in pearls, but I didn't like the result.

meh

So I cut up some (biodegradable) plastic bag as petals and made a flower.

That's more like it!

I put some pearls in the middle of the flower as well.

To keep the lipstick in place, I glued down some single sticky sided foam (the sticky side facing up for the lipstick).

Once it was all dry, I stuck in the lipstick.

And we are done!

Verdict: She loved it! :D
