Oh! A Thought Bubble!

So as I was on my way to work today I was doing my brown in the car, no don't worry I wasn't driving, and I remembered that Grey from LeGothique had stated she didn't like pencils with wax as eventually them sort of "melt" with your body temp (or so I think I am remembering this correctly).

So I decided as soon as I have some down time I will try to come up with some brow bangers (I may change their name) which will include normal mica, but their base will be carnauba wax (another helpful hint provided by Grey). My thought is that the wax will actually help set the powder. So we'll see how that goes!!

Upcoming collections info

I've had a few set backs this month with a handful of multi orders, my Etsy teams event, and just being overall busy this month.

My Monster Rancher collection will be finished at the end of Feb. along with my Naked Pallet dupes. These will not be dead on dupes, but as close as I can get with the micas I have.

I have a few other things in the works like ultra hydrating lipsticks, and lotions, scrubs, and other body care items that may or may not be sold in the Psyche Minerals shop... I may start a new shop just dedicated to body care.

Oh . . . A Review - Korres Primer

I must say that I've used Korres products before, and it's usually 50/50 on liking them or not. This review is solely based on my experience with their face primer. This primer is water based and silicone free.

The ingredients in this primer are the following:

Aqua (Water), Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Melissa Officinalis Distillate* (Melissa Officinalis Flower/Leaf/Stem Water*), Dicaprylyl Ether, Cetearyl Alcohol, Coco- Caprylate/Caprate, Glyceryl Stearate, Glyceryl Stearate Citrate, Benzyl Alcohol, Microcrystalline Cellulose, Citrus Paradisi (Grapefruit) Peel Oil*, Simmondsia Chinensis Oil* (Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil*), Limonene, Xanthan Gum, Cellulose Gum, Sodium Dehydroacetate, Glycerin, Tocopherol, Sodium Phytate, Betaine, Citric Acid, Leontopodium Alpinum Flower/Leaf Extract*, Honey, Hydrogenated Lecithin, Alcohol, Dehydroacetic Acid, Laminaria Ochroleuca Extract, Linalool, Pectin.

This primer is formulated without any parabens, sulfates, synthetic fragrances/dyes, mineral oils, petrochemicals, phthalates, gmos, and as I said before silicone.

It has a pleasant fragrance to it, and to me it smells like lemons. . yum!! It feels great going on, and seems to set quickly. It is white, but does seem to go on clear, and definitely sets clear.

When I used it with a liquid foundation, Korres Ginger and Vitamin foundation, it applied nicely but I'm seemed slightly streaky. I don't know if that is caused by using a liquid foundation of the combination of that particular foundation with that particular primer. When I used the primer under a mineral loose powder foundation, Pink Quartz, it worked wonders! The foundation went on like a dream.

My foundation lasted all day, and after 8 hours I think I looked just fine, lol. I do have red/pink undertones so the coverage I'm able to get with the combination of products is great.

I have to say I really love this primer. I love is enough that I went out to buy a backup . . I don't know why I'm just weird like that. I hope you all get a chance to try this. It's quite wonderful!

Have you used this before? What do you think?

I DO SHIP INTERNATIONALLY + Lowered shipping

I've noticed some people inquiring about me shipping internationally.

I DO

Just send me a message on etsy and I will be more than happy to ship my shinies to where ever you are located.

I'll hopefully get my shipping to include international as soon as I do some more international shipping so I can find a good price to set it at. I just need the reference, and so far I've only shipping to Australia twice.

Recently after Phyrra's review of my shop I noticed people not being to happy with my shipping. Until that point I had never had anyone complain to me about if before. So I decided to lower it, but I still offer refunds if you pay more than it actually cost me to ship your package. I don't believe in people paying more for shipping than it actually costs me because I despise when it is done to me. . .

So for the initial item it is just $2.02 because that is the normal shipping on mostly all my shipped items, except for certain zones. Each additional item is only $0.15 I figured this more fair than the initial $0.75

Let me know what you think, thanks.

Whimsy Beading custom necklace - Poet Seas

Early January I asked Kelly of Whimsy Beading if should could custom make me a necklace and earrings set with colors I had picked out. She agreed, and made this beautiful set called Poet Seas. I am so pleased with it I think every day since I received it, except for today, I've worn it. It goes great with teals, and surprisingly greys. She has this set available for purchase through her shop on etsy!!







I think I have yet to post some of the other items I have purchased from her . . I shall do that soon! Also I had her custom made a green themed one. I'll post pictures as soon as I received it!!

Eczema help

I was pursuing de internets for the best clay and oils for Eczema. I get it on my shoulder blades, neck, and chest. It's bad in the winter because the air is so dry. I start to itch, and I just can't take it anymore, lol. Ssooo with my looking around for answers I came up with Bentonite seeming like the best choice for a clay to use for a body mask. Essential oil wise I'm looking into virgin coconut, rosemary, lavender, patchouli, bergamont, and rose. A good carrier oil may be avocado, evening primrose, or jojoba oil.

I was looking into a scrub too, but realized maybe that wouldn't be such a great idea... I do love scrubs though :)

EOTD: 01/18

Today I tried to do a quick 5 minute look since a was low on time. This was a quick in the car in front of work look. It was something I don't think I've ever done before because when I use brown shadows I usually use brown liner, not black. I used Too Faced Shadow Insurance, MAC's Vapor all over the eye lid and brow bone, MAC's Sabble on the outer corner and blended into the crease, MAC's Feline kohl liner on the lower water line, and MAC's superslick liquid liner on the upper lash line. Again for some reason I have think liner. Oh Covergirl's lashblast was used on my upper lashes!!

EOTD: 01/17

Here is another look I did using some unnamed colors I've made. I didn't mean to have such heavy liner... ugh me and MAC's superslick liner have a love hate relationship....

Ooh I need help!

I am going to make this short ans sweet. I'm struggling with finding a more professional labeling currently. There are not a lot of resources out there. At least that I have come across. I found one, but .. I'm just so hesitant to order blank sheets online. I'm afraid when I get them home, and start printing. .. a mess will occur!! Any ideas?
