I tried making more cosmetics today. I made a powder concealer, whipped cocoa body butter, and a lip balm.
The powder concealer took forever to mix the colors! I probably spent an hour mixing in the micas and other minerals! I read online that you can use a magic bullet or coffee grinder to blend the colors. I will try this next time. I think the only thing worse then mixing the colors was clean up. That make-up residue is so stuck on it's crazy. I foresee a lot of hand scrubing in my future... The end product turned out great and matches my skin tone perfectly. I would greatly recomend it and will definitely try it again.
The whipped cocoa body butter smells incredible! It smells like yummy chocolate...mmm. The consistency is really neat. As soon as you scoop some up your body temperature starts to melt it. It is quite oily though. It leaves the skin very moisturized and soft.
The lip balm I made with shea butter. I realized that I'm not a huge fan of the smell of shea butter. It totally overowers the cherry flavor. I may melt it back down and add more cherry flavor; make it a bit more strong.
