Wouldn't it smudge like crazy?  I always think that's the goal of shadow sticks - to smudge out and blend.

I love all the little containers we get in these bags.  =) 

I usually have coconut oil and of course olive oil around the house.  I'd ordered beeswax pellets, vitamin e oil, and fragrance oils that are safe for body lotions and lip balms to make a Beeseline-ish product.  So I was looking at the little face cream and lip scrub and bear balm containers from this month, and the lip jelly tin from last month, and decided when I empty things, I'm gonna make a few teaspoonsful of lip tint to reuse the containers.  Went to The All Natural Face online and bought one of their vegan mineral blush samplers.  27 colors for $5.00, plus $1.50 shipping. 

1/2 t olive oil, 1/2 t coconut oil, 1/2 t beeswax, 1/2 t or so of one of the pigments, a few drops flavored oil, drop or so of e, throw it in the microwave in a glass Pyrex measure and stir every 30 seconds.  Pour it into a container when it's liquified and let it set.  I'm guessing somewhat at measurements, but based on recipes on the web I'm thinking I'm not too far off.  I figure it'll probably end up being about a-buck-and-two-minutes-work per shade.

Edit - now that I think about it, I'm probably high on the amount of pigment powder.  I'm thinking one package per few teaspoons of stuff.  It'll be interesting to see how far off my guesses are from what I really should use!  /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Did anyone think the Bear rub/ balm smelled a little off. I don't think it was bad, to me it just had a mix of medicinal smell and skunk phermones.

But on a more pleasant note , I'm loving the lip scrub!!!

I don't smell any skunk in mine.  Just the tea tree medicinal-strong.

I love DIY recipes so might give this a try! Tnx /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I don't love the smell of the bear rub, it's just like tea tree oil. I really do like the scrub too! Smells amazing /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

They sent a newsletter about project lipstick toss. I have alot of lipsticks I won't ever use so I might give this a try! http://projectlipsticktoss.com/

Finally got my box yesterday.  the facial cream lid was loose so the product is all dried up so disappointed.  anyone ever have an issue with an item?  how was it resolved?

 

[Lulubelle107]

Here is the color of my shadow stick - I could probably use it as a blush/lip tint as well:



Here it is smudged out:

I love my sub. I'm inFL so didn't get this month's yet. I love that this stuff is natural. Ordered a lot of skin care stuff from last month

 

[Missyrocks]

Anyone have a November box or items from a November box to sell or trade?  I thought I ordered but didn't.  Thanks

me too.  I have the loose eye shadows and the shadow stick in grape thati I am not intererested in keeping.  let me know what your looking for.

  on another note overall I am happy but at times this company just doesnt seem to have their act together.  I recevied a sample of a cream lip and cheek blush that I would love to purchase.  I have emailed several times to find out how I can buy it and no one can tell me.  how crazy is that. how hard should  that be? This has been going on now for 3 weeks...

( it was in a small plastic container in a plastic bag.  all it said was new cheek and lip tint in dusky rose)   

 

[Missyrocks]

Does someone have a code to order deliciosozo skincare or the golden berries cream from the site? Thank you!

I'd guess it was The All Natural Face.  I don't see the color on Natural Beauty's site, but here it is on TANF:  http://theallnaturalface.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=product.details&ProductID=117729 

They gave a blush from Ferro, or something like that, but it was in a container with a black lid that had the company name.

 

[Missyrocks]

I meant a coupon code for ordering from site. Thanks

 

[mellee]

Oh - sorry.  The blush I thought you meant was sent several months ago.  Don't know if the codes would still be current, but I didn't hold onto mine to check.

 

[Missyrocks]

Thank you!

Oh - I missed that you said it was lip and cheek.  Still not on their site with a coupon, but could this be the product?  It comes in the Dusky Rose - http://theallnaturalface.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=product.details&ProductID=123515
