A great Deal on Mineral Makeup

I found this Mineral Basics Makeup site with my affiliation to the Indie Network and fell in love with their Emu Oil for Acne prone skin. I am so sad they have announced they are selling their business but happy to let you in on their sale for 60% off their inventory. It is pure bismuth free mineral makeup. I love the eye shadow brown sugar so I totally stocked up on that. The Discount code is discount60 and if you order $100 worth shipping is free. I ordered $100 and only paid $40. It's a great deal and a superior product.

before and after

Before Taken end of January



Taken early April


About 3 months separate the photos. I used a liquid soap wash that I created for Stone Street Soaps.
Previously was using a brand 3 step system that cost around $85
Present Day using my own liquid homemade soap with a few additives like green tea and lavender essential oil cost to make around $1.50

Yes it pays to make soap even if it is for yourself!

I've become aware that there is a new legislation trying to get pushed through called the Safe Cosmetics Act. I am passing this along to you for your own information on how it may affect soap makers and other small business that you may support and enjoy.

New Soaps-Practicing swirls

Country Clothesline Scent although now that I think of it I probably should of went with Bubblegum or something like Cotton Candy :D

experimenting with swirls and also a custom essential oil blend of citrus and cedarwood. I'll be honest I am not that big of a fan but my husband likes it so it should appeal to the men.

Carissa's Latest Adventure

Mineral Make-up. I've been working hard at creating a formula for foundation and other mineral makeup goodies and have been having blast. This week I worked on color matching which it wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. I have tried many mineral makeup brands much like the brands of soaps I use to try and found I do so much better when I create my own and design whatever I need around my skin needs. So my mineral makeup much like my soap is formulated without the yucky stuff. No Bismuth, no fillers, no cornstartch and especially no talc. I have to say it is exciting. 10 years ago I was in college getting a degree in Psychology and I think I really should of been a Chemistry major as much as I love to create and formulate. I will be posting pictures soon before and after and also the pictures from my face wash testing earlier this year. Stay Tuned.

I have been a terrible blogger

So many things going on in my life!

I have been working on a ton of things including face wash, shampoo, and a new soap recipe which turned out to be a great new recipe. All of the new things will be added to the store sometime this month.

I will try to be better at posting :)
