TKB "Press Pack"

TKB Trading is a great place if you like makeup, especially if you would like

to make your own. They have the supplies you need at a very wallet friendly cost.

I stocked up on MyMix Press-It Binder as it is a good all-purpose pressing medium. I still
had some My Mix Press Base left so I thought I would try out the TKB Matte Texture Base.
Lets see if I can see any difference. I use the My Mix Press Base and Binder to press loose
mineral eyeshadows and pigments. I also add them to any eyeshadow that is not perfoming
as I would like it too. Because they usually do get better as these products improves the slip
and adhesion. That way the loved eyeshadows that does not perform so well gets an other
chance of beeing used up. No one wants to throw away a color they love.

I ordered some more supplies I need for re-pressing my eyeshadows, blushes and

other makeup to place into my Z-Palettes. I almost got the FlexStyle palettes that TKB

Trading has, but then decided that three Z palettes is enough for me. Also realized that

one of them is currently empty. I also have six of TKB's 26mm 12-cavity Charcoal Black
Palettes and four of the 4-well magnetic 36mm cavity palettes (Retired - old Style). They

look like e.l.f Essential Elements Custom Palettes but a little bit bigger and black. (Anyone

looking for those TKB Old Style Palettes can buy them from me, just let me know). And at

that I have 2 Interchangeable Palette: 12 Piece from Coastal Scents. So I think that is

enough. Money is a bit tight right now so I have to sell something in order to get

something else. Have a look at my Blog Sales HERE you might find something.

26mm Round Tin Pans - 15mm Round Press Pack

I ended up buying more of 26mm Round Tin Pans as I have used up what I had.

And then I wanted to try out the 15mm Round Tin Pans so I got the Press Pack as

you get 9 godets with it. In those I can press eyeshadows that I only have very little

of left but would still like to use up. Look at how cute and small those 15mm pans are.

Then I was looking to get more large pans for blushes, contours and bronzers, as I have

filled up my 36mm round pans, but didn't feel the need to get 25 (that is the smallest amount

you can buy). So once again I got a Press Pack (Large  Rectangle 54x26mm)  that has 9

pans. I'm also planning on pressing my sisters eyeshadows into a Z-Palette, as a surprise

for her, so I got a differet style goddet for her, 26mm Square Tin Pans + the Press Pack

with 9 godets and the pressing tiles so I can make the makeup look nice and smooth.

When blending a custom shade of eyeshadows I want to grind the
pigments together properly so I bought a Mini Mortar and Pestle. And
then pass it through the Mini Sieve so that I get a finer powder that is easier
to press and get it smooth. The small Spatula I got to scrape things out.
