Way to Organize/Store Makeup (or Almost Anything) on Your Mirror

Basically it's a really easy, fast (and some may say magical) way to organize your makeup on your mirror (or any other crap you wanna stick to your mirror)! I came up with this when all my makeup was being crowded on my bureau and since mirrors aren't magnetic (darn! can't use magnetic strips) and using velcro means that you have to throw away the half the velcro when you're done with the makeup (what are you going to do now?) and difficult to remove I thought I'd get me some adhesive putty and use some of my diy skills. It also helps show all the makeup you have (or use the most often) at once so you don't have to go digging in your makeup bag to find something you need.

It also works as a prank if you decide to stick like a fake hand (or any other unfavorable objects) on someone's mirror . . .

P.S. If you have any questions about what makeup is on my mirror or if you want to know how well I think it works let me know in the comments.

Step 1: Materials

This little project cost about a dollar which was for the adhesive putty. The containers on the mirror are all diy except the green mesh organizer which was an old locker organizer I had. 

Materials
-adhesive putty (I bought the cheapest one at Michael's which was about a $1)
it usually comes in blue, orange, yellow (which I used) and gray, you should be able to find  it at a craft store or office store (maybe?)
-makeup/other crap you wanna stick to your mirror
-container or locker organizer (optional)
all the containers on the mirror besides the green mesh organizer I made by cutting old bottles (i.e. shampoo bottles) in half horizontally and using mod podge to decorate them). You could also use any container you already have if it's the right size.
-mirror (or any other surface you want to use)

Holy crow, I wish I could shake your goddamn hand. This just simply would have never occured to me. So good. It's tomorrow's mission. I'm going to need a very big mirror.
