I have searched TKB, Coastal Scents and Conservatorie but haven't found any. TIA!

I think this is what you're looking for: SKS Lip Balm Tubes - Black Slim Line Lip Balm Tubes

Can anyone tell me what to add to make my base "creamier"?

Hi Everyone.
Im mainly a lurker - But I have now read this entire thread through twice!!

Can I ask - for those of you who have the CS e-book - is it worth it? I know, Ive read the review about how fabulous it is, but I have done a lot -I mean a LOT -- of reasearch on MMU and want to know if I'd be spending my $30 on stuff I have already found out.

I really prefer to flip through a book before I buy it and I obviously cant do that with an ebook!

Thanks
Jess

Can anyone tell me their personal opinion of the foundation kits offered by the Conservatorie? I refuse to pay the prices of MMU on ebay, etc. and want to make several ounces at a time. Any advice would be appreciated.

To Icecookies-please pm me as I can't pm until I have 50 posts. My e-mail is dommyroo(at)yahoo.com if you'd rather use my addy. Thanks.

Surely there is at least one person who has bought this kit. There is a lot of product :seems like a great deal. Do you get complete directions with it? I sent a message to them on their site 2 days ago, haven't got a response yet.

Hi everyone. I'm pretty new here and have been reading this thread for what seems like hours, haha. I have made eyeshadows before but am just now getting into making other products. I'm interested in making a product similar to Everyday Minerals Star to Finish product. It's a primer/finishing powder. Anyone have any recipes for anything similar? Thanks so much.

DammitBarb · 05-01-2008, 06:34 AM

The pinch, dash, smidgen measuring spoons are $2.75 at greenfeet.com. S&H from CA to MO was $.94 with USPS First class mail. A GREAT deal-backordered but that's ok, I can wait.
I reread all 38 pages, got my notes and made an order with TKB -individual items to make foundation,etc. Shoot, I don't need a kit.They all either have some stuff in them I don't want or don't have what I do want.

I'm determined to find my HG. Wish everyone success.

The CS Book is very good. It gives different methods of doing things than are listed here and gives you exact (kind of) formulas.

I pm'd you Barb in IC's behalf.

I recommend the CS e-book also, it's very good for beginners and gives out exact recipes like bases for foundation, eyeshadow, blush etc., then you can add the micas you want

Maybe because you only have 5 posts thus far;(

DammitBarb · 06-04-2008, 06:14 AM

Probably so. Oh well, there isn't a lot to say when one considers the past 38 pages of GREAT info. I'm close to my HG, am very pleased with what I've got but needs some tweaking. Wish I had done this years ago.
There is not any shortcuts: take the time to read all the pages, take notes, copy some and you will be informed and able to make the MM. Takes a while to read and do this but is well worth it.
My thanks to all who so graciously gave their info and experiences in their endeavers. I read every word, twice.
