IF money were no object, then we'd all have amazing make-up stations where we could leisurely sit and apply our face every morning. But sadly, dressing tables don't always come cheap.
That said, one savvy DIY fan has revealed how she made a dreamy vanity table for under £50 using IKEA and B&M bargains - and she didn't have to skimp on style.
Posting on the , Jodie Driver explained how she couldn't afford to splash out on a dressing table - so decided to try making her own instead.
Inspired by other members of the group, Jodie bought a £35 sleek white shelving unit from IKEA to keep all her products in.
After attaching it to the wall, Jodie then turned the chic shelves into a dressing table set up by adding a £10 pink glittery mirror from B&M complete with a Hollywood-style lightbulb border.
As well as decorating her bedroom in a pretty pink metallic wallpaper, Jodie placed a rose gold picture frame and put her perfumes out on display to bring the dressing table together.

In other words, Jodie spent just £45 creating this very Instagram-friendly vanity table which would have otherwise cost a fortune.
Needless to say, other members of the group were blown away by the results - and would never have guessed how cheap it was to put together.
"I love the idea of doing it this way," one gushed. "It looks so much better than a dressing table to me!"
Another added: "Absolutely stunning."
Meanwhile, a third gushed: "I think I prefer this to a dressing table now. It's beautiful."
What's more, B&M is also selling a very similar pink glittery dressing table mirror to the one Jodie used for just £4.
