Another brown picture! What makes these two unique, is that while they apply brown and tan, they will shine/sparkle blue, without adding any actual blue color. Very nice for a subtle surprise =)



"Pandora" and "Truffle"

=)

Hooray, the sifter seals finally came! I'm totally thrilled that everything is all sealed up for wherever it's going to go =) I also got a free gift, which is awesome XD New post later with an eyeshadow.

Finally...a shade that goes with my car

This is going to be so fantastic to wear, it has a brilliant violet-blue shine and looks incredible applied wet~



"Princess"

Lush~ But with a B

Blush has to be one of the more fun things to make, and took 1/15th the time it took to make that first batch of shimmer powder, which must be reformulated. I eventually got what I wanted, but in a roundabout and wasteful way =P I have a better way to get the same results.

But I digress. I somehow seem to keep making these blushes that fall into the "dusty rose" category, but this one is an uber cute bubblegum pink blush, hence why I'm going to call it bubblegum. Mission: To expand farther into blush and finally wind up with that cute peach I've been hoping for =D



The Bubblegum blush in both the regular and miniblush size, even though the picture looks like that brown everything else looks like XD

Not for your inner vampire...

Today I made my first blush, using a base I made myself. It is so sheer, and leaves the cutest amount of pink sheen, it's fantastic. Very suitable for everyday wear; work, going out..and other stuff, that people do. Even though this picture looks brown, like they all do, here is the miniblush...



It also comes in a larger size for those who tend to stick with one color.

My favorite creation of the day HAS to be this bronze shimmer powder in a shade called "Cocoa", which is the first in a collection of different shimmery body powders I'm working on. I have to say that I LOVE my powder tan, I get that bronze boost with a touch of golden shimmer, and no one can even tell I've barely gotten any sun for 3 years! For those of us who plan to wear this all winter, a nice wide jar with a sifter; for all you people with your "sun", the minibronzer. Isn't small everything cute? Warning: This shade may be too dark for you if you are a vampire.

A bit of sun before bed~

So this surprised me when I put it on, it lightens up to a lovely peachy gold as opposed to the pinky-beige that it looks like it would be, and is so subtle that it works for every day use without being overpowering. I wish I had more eyes ^^v

You can't make this stuff up

Except for I can, and finally did. You have no idea how thrilled I am that these perform like any eyeshadow I've bought from whatever source. After hoarding a larger container of each for me, here are the first colors I've made so far...

The light blue, I've called it "Snowflake", is so nice and sparkly, kind of prismatic, very light and shines =) A beautiful highlighter for a more intense blue.

I also made a shimmery, coppery brown color that I've called "Chai", cause I'm working on something called Vanilla Chai. I like chai <3 I liked this color so much that I couldn't bear washing it off to test other colors and I'm still wearing it now! In the sun it has a hint of rosy sparkle.



This color almost looks exactly the same as the Chai, but it's so different it's not even funny. Applied, you get a really nice rosy sheen that gets stronger the more it's blended in, with a nice golden shimmer. My mom was showing off this color for me while she was at work today =) I actually don't have a name for this color yet...



With them all together in natural sunlight, it's really easy to see the differences between the colors, and to get a better idea of what they actually look like.



I would love to hear what you think about these!

of course it needs a title...

So all minerals are in cute stacker jars that I hope are easy to work out of. I'm currently waiting on a shipment of sifter seals so the eyeshadows can be packaged properly, and all the lip safe fragrance oils I scrounged up on the internet! Since the place I have my working desk in is being renovated, I've had to take up temporary residence in the living room until all the repairs are done! I've been negotiating the installment of that fridge I've been wanting for quite some time in the lab =) which will make things very convenient for me. Something tells me that I'm going to need more space!

The rest of my day was spent taking the last of my photos for Stephanie's DSK Jewelry Model Contest! It being one of my higher priorities this month, I'm really glad to finally have my submission in and just wait for the fun to start!

A HUUUGE shout out to Justina, for once again doing a fabulous job on my makeup and taking the photos for me on such short notice with no real reward =P It's special to find such a great friend, and I'm so glad you got that totally awesome PLACE!!!

Finally, since I'd be a tool if I didn't post a photo, the improved powder pigment storage system~

She did it to me again, and why is the day only 24 hours?

So if there's one thing that can make me poor in the blink of an eye, it is DSK Jewelry. And I torment pretty much constantly by camping her blog and admiring all the wonderful treasures I cannot yet obtain. But I'm weak, and love things that sparkle, and I give in occasionally. Tonight I took her moonlight female Pegasus with the light sapphire moon. To see the latest thing she's released, check out her blog.. <3

In other news, I spent at least 3 hours on the grueling task of putting all the powders that came in tiny plastic bags into cute stackable containers. Which..saves a lot of space and actually looks great. As soon as I get something my parents consider work done, I'll actually be able to mix my first color. Take a look at what I started with....

So...I put it off long enough..

Let the flagship post begin. Is this the font I'm using?

The master shipment has arrived. In all of it's boxed and delivered glory. I knew it would be good since they sent a truck this time. And everything was totally better than it looked in the internet pictures, just like my DSK jewelry I keep ordering. And as I'm thinking that, she put out more things I want.. look at them. Prepare to hear about her modeling contest constantly.

I received in the glory box, over 30 1 oz containers of mica powders, iron oxide powders, and glitter. Who doesn't love glitter? In addition to that, everything I need including base powders and other tools, with about half a billion little jars, tomorrow looks like a great day to create my first...creation. As soon as I figure out how to put a photo on this thing, I'll do that.
