Hi Megan and a very warm welcome.  Ooh, mineral cosmetics!  How interesting!!  Prepare yourself Megan, I may be firing some questions your way  :mwaha:

There are lots of members who make soap (all methods) and there are a number of us here who have had our hands held by other members in our first ever soap experience.  The peeps here are great and very inspirational  :buttrf:

Anyway, I look forward to talking more with you around the forum - Welcome again!!  ;D

Hello Megan

Mineral cosmetics do sound really interesting - are you thinking of minerals in soap?

Hi Megan

Welcome and I hope you enjoy it here.

Hello, hope you enjoy looking round this forum. They are all such a lovely helpful bunch.

HELLO ! :hap3: :hap3: :hap3:

hiya! Mineral cosmetics are wonderful, love them. Do you sell them or just make them for yourself?

Hi Megan, welcome to the forum - be warned though, there is a tiny diddy little soap addiction that might happen    :mwaha:

A big HELLO and WELCOME to you.

thanks, everyone! im so excited to spend hours and hours procrastinating here!  :-* It'll be a good procrastination though, help to feed the addiction hahahaa

lululiz and elainej...I do sell them on my website (www.disquietingdesigns.com) and I was thinking of using micas to color the soaps but Im concerned about it leaving stains on customers so i definitely want to research that.

I am totally ready for the soap addiction, I just broke my stick blender on my first batch of HP soaps! You can't imagine how antsy I am to get some money together to buy a new one. It's almost holiday show season time, after all!

oh please do, i love spreading mineral makeup love!

Heloooooooooo Megan!
No idea about mineral make up (or make up in general really) but prepared to be enlightened  :)
Welcome to this normally very helpful and friendly forum. I hope you will enjoy it.
Look forward to seeing you around  :buttrf:

Just had a look at your website, very tempting for prezzies for daughter  - but I didn't realise until I got there that it was US!!

Yeah, unfortunately over in the US for the time being (once student loans are paid off though...woo, travel time!)

Hello and welcome.  Please enlighten me as to what mineral makeup is as i'm a wee bit of a numpty.

 ;D

Hi Wino!
Well I could go into a diatribe about it (I happily will!) but then I get a little ranty :)

Mineral makeup is makeup made with oxides and micas rather than chemicals like a lot of the big boys use. It's better for your skin and body because you're not taking in chemicals through your skin, you're using natural ingredients.

It's also been known to help hide wrinkles better and give you a more natural glow than icky chemical foundations.

Hide wrinkles you say........

Off to check out your website... :mwaha:

Wow!!  I have just checked out your site and....  WOW!!!!  Great site and fantastic products.  Didn't realise you were Stateside bellaphile.  Your products are just lovely but please be prepared for some brainpickin'  ;)   :mwaha:

I'll give you a hello and WHOOHOO as well.  I've had zero luck with makeup and had essentially given up wearing the stuff, but a friend turned me onto mineral makeup and I admit, huge difference.

I love mineral make-up and I'm sure we'll be picking your brains!
Welcome to a friendly board who are happy to share (and ask) for advice and help.

I've been dabbling with mineral make up for a while now...that is wearing the stuff, not making it! It gives a great glow, the eyeshadows are fantastic with great staying power and blend really well.

Ooops, sorry, forgot to say Hi and welcome!
