I know when I was pressing mine our kitchen just looked like a science lab but it was just so satisfying to turn the pain in the bum powders into something I actually would use!Lilithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18429816579073070387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-897793820774746634.post-7754747399685908672011-03-22T20:11:13.429+11:002011-03-22T20:11:13.429+11:00I've done it! and it was sooo easy.

I've got a series of mineral pigments that have great depth of colour but a pain in the bum to use so tonight I started on my blush and 3 of the eyeshadow pots. Addicted! A few more to go now. Thank you so much for sharing this - I would have ended up with wasted makeup that I hardly used otherwise.KathBearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16388239183582746548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-897793820774746634.post-80255863145888897552011-02-16T06:36:24.734+11:002011-02-16T06:36:24.734+11:00Good luck Kath, it's too easy you can't st...Good luck Kath, it's too easy you can't stuff it up. <br /><br />Lilit<br />xoLilithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18429816579073070387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-897793820774746634.post-15326004727367783242011-02-16T02:16:43.584+11:002011-02-16T02:16:43.584+11:00Thank you so much for this little lesson.

I've got rubbing alcohol so I'll give this a try (perhaps on a colour I'm not so fussed on in case I stuff it up) and let you know.<br />xxKathBearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16388239183582746548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-897793820774746634.post-83629741591492865082011-01-06T10:40:29.364+11:002011-01-06T10:40:29.364+11:00Awesome!
