Looking into making lipglosses. What's a universally pleasing flavor oil to add?

I was wondering what you, the readers, that would be a universally acceptable flavor oil to add to a lipgloss. I was looking into making lipglosses, and a flavor oil was suggested to add to the mix. I could just leave this out if it suggested. Right now I am looking to make a vegan lipgloss so that anyone could purchase it. Flavors I was looking at were brown sugar, peppermint/wintermint, lychee, vanilla, or a fruit flavored one. I didn't want o stray into a coffee or rum flavored one . . well not just yet, lol.

I'd love to hear from you all!! I'm already in the process of buying the main ingredients such as a vegan wax, coconut oil, avocado or almond oil, vitamin E oil, etc. . .

Thanks in advance for your suggestions!

Color Ideas for Monster Rancher Collection

While researching Monster Rancher a little better I came across some monsters from the Monster Rancher 2 game.

I was looking into Mocchi, Pixie, Golem, Gali, Zuum, Tiger, Hopper, Suezo, Undine, Hare, and possibly Arrowhead, Naga, and Niton.

Monster Rancher Wins!

The lovely Courntey of Phyrra.net suggested Monster Rancher as my next collection. I think it is a great idea! So I shall start working on it this weekend. As promised Courntey will be getting a free sample set once I'm finished. I think eventualy Mario may be done, but not for a while. I have so many ideas and projects I'd like to do.

I want to add more colors to my Star Trek Collection, and tweek my Dragon Warriors Collection.

Don't forget my holiday colors will be retiring at the end of this month! Get them while you still can!!

I get no kick... literally...

So I played around with MAC's I Get No Kick, and I don't like how creased my eyeshadow looks with it used as a base. I also don't like it as a liner. I tried using it on my lower water line. It didn't really show up that well, and I'd much rather use the chromagraphic liner on my lower water line. That's not to say it wouldn't look better on someone with a darker complexion. For reference I'm nw20-nw25. It looks as if this one will be going back. I'll probably exchange it for a backup of feline and the chromagraphic liner.


You can't really tell from the picture, but the gold color is like severely creased.

20 subscribers giveaway!

Alrighty lets get this started! To thanks my followers I'll be hosting my very first giveaway. The prizes are one full sized Buxom mascara in blackest black, one buxom insider liner in topaz, one full size of my mineral shadow in Little Surprise, and one in the "mystery" color which is the one I haven't named yet, lol.

This giveaway is open to EVERYONE, and ends on Friday December, 31st. I'll be using random to make it fair to everyone.

All you have to do is comment on this post with your ultimate favorite makeup item! I love looking for new favorites!

Edit: the mystery shade has been appropriately named Le Mystére.

Edit: Since I was asking everyone what their favorite items were I decided to put a full sized Buxom Mascara in blackest black instead of the bad gal.

Please send any questions, comments, and/or responses to my email at molly.memorymakers@yahoo.com or post it under the comments section.

So I gave into MAC.....

I went past MAC today, and noticed the cham-pale collection was out. So I sort of bought the nc15/nw20 chromagraphic liner, feline kohl, and I get no kick eyeliner. I may have to get backups of feline and the chromagraphic because I've used them already, and LOVE them! I'll let you know how I feel about the other one once I use it. The MUA I spoke with said to try it as a base instead of a paint pot. I've done that with their Minted kohl under the Burmese Beauty quad color that reminds me of club.

Edit: I was at my local mall, and when I went through Macy's I picked up =backup of feline and nc15/nw20.

Merry Christmas to me + Giveaway Update!

So my gift from my readers was finally getting my 20th follower. I know it doesn't seem like a big deal to most people, but for me who probably only had 3 last year it means a lot to me.

I'll host my giveaway tomorrow, and you all know that the winner will at least be getting a full size of my new not released (yet) mineral shadow color. I have yet to name it so I'll be taking suggestions :)

Have a wonderful and safe holiday!!

small peek.. ..

Here's a swatch of one of the prizes for the giveaway. This is a brand new, not released (yet) shade from my mineral shadow line.

Hope you enjoy! It's a awesome color really! It's hard to tell from the picture, but there is purple, blue, and coordinating lavender glitter. This shade isn't as blue toned as the swatch shows. It's a more true to purple. The top swatch is appled dry, and the bottom with a damp brush over TFSI.

What I want for Christmas....

I stumbled up this book while perusing through my favorite bloggers. I found a post about it on Beauty Crazed in Canada.




I love DIY projects so this is perfect for me! It's only $21 with around 250 different recipes. I have sensitive skin so I have to be careful what I put on my skin which is another reason why this would be perfect for me!

New Collection . . Help?!? + Contest!!

So far I have a Dragon Warrior Monsters collection, a holiday collection, Cozy Holidays, and a Star Trek collection, which I will have some pics up soon. All three are available for sale in my etsy shop. I was wondering what you, the readers, would like to see next.

It's so hard for me to choose seeing as though I love just about anything geeky. I love sailor moon, but Persephone minerals has that, and Shiro has Pokemon and Zelda (both of which i was obsessed with at one time or another). I love video games a ton, and amine as well so you can see why it is hard to pick just one topic.

I'd love any ideas, comments, or suggestions from all of you! So you can post them here or email me directly. If I choose your suggestion you will win a free sample set of how ever many colors I come out with for that collection!!

I'll have another contest or two with in the next month!! This contest ends December 24th, and I'll pick the winner December 27th. They may be a chance of more than one winner in case I like different suggestions. The "prize" will whatever topic is suggested by that person.

Whimsy Beading take two!

This is long over due. I've had my items for quite some time, but I keep forgetting to make a post with them.

It must be said that I LOVE Whimsy Beading, and I am ssoo thankful to Courtney of Phyrra.net for introducing me to this etsy shop.

The jewelry is amazing, and beautiful. I know that if I ever tried bead weaving . . well. . . lets just say I don't have the patience for it.

I bought two sets, and one pair of custom earrings from her last time. I also since then have ordered three more sets. I bought Le Gothique set (the earrings were given to my aunt as a Hanukkah gift and the necklace was saved for mmeee), Phyrra's Lanterns set for myself, and a pair of earrings made to match the pendant she custom made for me. My most recent purchase consists of Shades or red set, another Le Gothique set, and Phaedra's Garland set.

Next time she has a sale I'm sssooo buying the Shrinkle Special along with a couple other items!! you should definitely check out the awesome stuff for sale!

Two New Shops! (from me) and other news

I recently added two new shops on etsy; one for jewelry and one for my photography.

etsy.com/shop/mollysmagictouch for my jewelry
etsy.com/shop/throughtheseasons for my photography

and don't forget. . . etsy.com/shop/guitarplayingpoet for my mineral shadows. My company is called Psyche Minerals, and well . even though it has a sort of weird name there are reasons behind it which are stated somewhere on my etsy page.

I'm in the process of making blushes right now with some of the micas I have left over from my shadows. Hopefully you'll be seeing them up soon. I don't think I ever will get the hang of foundation, but if I ever decided to (which I'm almost 100% sure I won't) it would definitely have to be vegan.

I may decided to branch out to lippies, but that won't be for a while.

Oh by the way if you happen to have an etsy shop I'm trade friendly!

where have I been?

Sorry I have been MIA lately, and not posting at least once a day.

I've been super busy trying to find good marketing ideas for Psyche Cosmetics, and what to do for a sale along with promotions.

I've also come up with several new colors of mineral shadow that I have been trying to name. Hopefully I'll get that done soon because I'd love to put new colors up for sale!

I will have some contests soon so keep a look out for them!

Coming up.. Two more holiday looks

Ultraviolet by Psyche Cosmetics - Comment from a customer

I was browsing through my etsy, when I received a convo from someone how had purchased a sample of my Ultraviolet shadow. This is what she had to say! "Hello, I recently purchased this and LOVED it.. I was wondering if it would be possible for me to purchase 2 full size jars of this. It really is an AMAZING color. I have never seen anything like it. Please let me know if your able to do so, I am very interested."

I was so happy to hear this from a customer. It really made my day! I've sold several orders, and no one has really gotten back to me on the colors they purchased.

I just thought I would share this with you all!

Have a beauty filled weekend!!!
