The Halloween Collection

FINALLY. Could I work any slower? Probably, but not much. But I worked hard and late to finally finish a festive grouping of colors. Alliteration aside, here they are =)



Top left, Black Cherry. A dark black colored eyeshadow which gives off a red shine and sparkle. Part of the group of epic mixing horrors, so the next formulation will look blacker, and not with that...brown that's not supposed to be in it. A color formulated for Ari.

Middle left, Mystery Brew. Same idea, except with a green shine.

Top right, Trick or Treat. A strong, powerfully pigmented black with a shiny rainbow sparkle. So far the deepest black that has been created by me.

Bottom left, Spooky. A bright white with a soft lovely sparkle.

Bottom right, Pumpkin Patch. Who knew you could mix orange and purple?

After having a lot of fun with this, I'm excited to get started on a Christmas set =)

Little something new..

So this must be the crowning moment so far, I LOVE my lip balm. SO much. That I may never share any with anyone else~



So far I have the pilot prototype, a plain colored, coconut cream scented balm that my brother apparently likes a lot, and a barely pink balm with a slight shimmer. I'm really excited to do more of these =)

I've eaten a lot of lip gloss to get to where I am today.

So this has to be one of the best colors I've made so far. It doesn't even look like this. It looks like what color the pillars of Aztec ruins would look like. It's kind of silvery grey like stone, little green, little gold. Pearly and prismatic~ You can't even see the gold in it! I was so excited about this color that I wore it to bed..



"Aztec Gold"


This is my first crack at lip gloss. I must say, they LOOK pretty good. By the time I made it to the white gloss, I had gotten the sweetener and taste enhance right, and it was really hard to forget that I wasn't stirring a dish of icing. But it so does, and the pink one is strawberry flavored, albeit kind of weakly, and isn't stirred well so it's a bit purpler in some spots. But now that I've gotten the mechanics down with it, lip gloss is extremely versatile and easy to work with. It would be like...a cute thing to do at a birthday party or something.

Shining stars~

So this is the mini beside the large size eyeshadow. The 10g square base jar holds 2.5 times as much as the small one, you can really pack them full =) I'm not sure why some things have clear lids, and some have black, but I will try to keep them as consistent as I can.



"Silver Lining" In both major and minor~

I LIVE

So it would seem that I had a very long weekend...but time well spent and much was done. Lots of necessary supplies are here, like flavors for lip gloss, and the last ingredients I need to make some body butter. Created a lot of new colors last week, here are two of them =)Both are very big on sparkle, Lucky uses a pigment that has very fine particles and is quite expensive, but definitely worth it.



"Tsunami"



"Lucky"

Under the sea~

I really like this cute coral color, and I've used the same color formula as a blush with less sparkle suitable to wear on the face.



"Starfish"

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"
