Franken: Cambodia

After reviewing some ELF polishes, I decided that one of them, Fair Pink, HAD to go. If you saw the review, you understand. So, I decided to toss some pigment into the bottle. I used TKB Tangerine Pop! and Coastal Scents Yellow Oxide.

Results? My latest franken, Cambodia:

Lovely color! That is two coats, in the picture. So, it is much more opaque. I really love this color!!!

Prezzies for Tiffasaurus

One of the prezzies I made for Tiffasaurus was a franken. I used a small bottle that had some Hot Topic topcoat that I got with a HT Fauxnad set. I used some clear topcoat, Grapetini by Icing, Pearl by Elf, and Wild Orchid by WNW (not pictured). I used about 1/4 clear topcoat, 15 drops of Grapetini, 10 drops of WO, and topped it off with the Pearl. But, remember, the bottle I used is really tiny. Grapetini w/o flash:

The result: Heliotrope!

I did my best to make these photos true to life colors. I added a bit of red to the photo. It's pretty close, now.
Here are the blush and shadows that I made for Tiffy. (Wisteria not pictured.) This is the only picture you get of them, because she needs some surprise. :-) I used micas and the matte base from TKB Trading. I used oxides and shimmer from Coastal Scents.

TKB, Coastal Scents, Grace Body Haul

TKB Trading

I've wanted to do for quite a while is try and make my own makeup. I'm getting a lot of stuff for X-mas, but I thought I'd get some samples and try it out on my own. So, I decided, when I get paid, I'd buy some sample ingredients to experiment with.

Guess what! I got paid!!! From TKB Trading, I got the Pop! Mica Sampler ($9) and the Metallic Collection Sampler ($5.4). I may get a couple things from Coastal Scents, too. They have samplers for the fillers and additives and for the oxides that are about $10 each. I'll post a haul when I get them in and then show some of my experiments.





These are the Coastal Scents oxide and filler sampler sets. I don't have any pix for the TKB stuff I got because their pix are messing up right now. I'll take my own pix and post them when it comes in.
