my pressed minerals palette...

finally, i've finished my first pressed minerals palette. if you remember, i started with this new "hobby" months ago. i've pressed 3 of my e/s, here's my post about it. and last month, i've been lemming on getting Bobbi Brown's shimmering nudes palette but it wasn't available here yet so i decided to get Silk Natural's e/s clones of that palette. still, i wanted to have them pressed since using loose minerals can be really messy most esp during makeup gigs. so, i pressed them: the last row (L-R) are the first ones that i pressed (including the top color on the 2nd to the last row)..and the rest are from my Silk Naturals order last month hmmm, i have a missing pan. why? i totally messed up pressing one of the mmu e/s so i just threw it away..lol i love pressing. i dunno, but i think the colors pop out more when pressed...maybe because of the pressing medium? but you have to be careful in adding the medium, when you put too much, the pressed shad...

a new way to past my time....

i just discovered a new hobby: yep...pressing minerals! now i am actually wondering how come i tried it just now...(sigh) thanks Shen for giving me this EZ press medium from Coastalscents ... my pressed minerals from MAD and Taylormade...woot! i love the empty palette, so portable and sleek. they say MAC e/s pans fit in them...hmm, gotta try that soon! pressing pigments is L.O.V.E =)
