Made myself some more eyeshadow..

So I have to say it, I love TKB! I can't brag about it enough when I talk about the ez-eyeshadow kit I convinced my boyfriend to get me. Since getting the kit, I've made about 80 eye shadows! I still have some mica left, and after about 40 or so stopped writing down my recipes, and now I'm just trying to use up the last of the pigment! I was unsure about having enough bags, so I ordered an extra 100 small baggies which I found much more useful than the larger ones the kit comes with. They go straight from my production to my makeup shelf :).I also got three extra samples of mica and some magnesium myristrate for a little base.I have one small baggie left, so I have a few eye shadows in the larger bags. It started out like this...

With a little holographic glitter as well! I actually like to use this more on top of my eyeshadow than in the mixing of it.
My swatches started out a little under a dozen...
(this is a graphic intense post!)

 got bigger..

 and bigger!

 Until I had no choice but to break down my swatches into color families..all of these can be clicked and you can look at the larger picture!

Purple

 Green

 Blue

 Browns

 Golds/yellows

and my measly pink collection..of course, after this I just kept going! I tried to photograph all of my eyeshadows on my bathroom counter, but the bathroom isn't wide enough!

And even after this shot..I realized I had forgotten ones that I had in jars, and I have also made some for friends and family, which puts my count over 80! What inspired this post is I just made a batch of 11 new shades over the past two days, a particularly productive round for me as I usually do 2-3 at a time. I've been trying to use my mica up and have not be afraid to use a lot, so some of these 11 are much heavier than the ones that came before them.Some of the colors swatch extremely different than the look in the bag.

 It started out with these eight yesterday..it is really hard to catch the true deep color of that blue, I really love it!

And then I did three more today, added here. You can see the progress of the last three, as I swatched them as I went along to tweak the color I wanted out of them. For 9 I wanted it much pinker, for 10 I wanted a lighter, matte color, and for 11 I really wanted a silver-gold sort of color. I really like the result of all 11 shadows. #5 is actually my attempt at a dupe for a color that I have from another company that I have and just don't want to run out of. It is actually extremely close.

 These homemade colors dominate the top of my makeup shelf, and are usually the colors I go to now.

 Here are the potted pigments that I forgot in the other shots.

I have loads, but the boyfriends is begging me to stop blogging now and come play! Hmm, can I steal the ps3 and play assasins creed? lol
