In this post, I will share what I have. I haven't received ingredients in a while. With me being on summer break I really want to formulate and experiment. I know from preparing for brands that ingredients have become significantly more expensive, but wow! It was $200 for all of this. Of course, keep in mind this is my job, and I'm not necessarily trying to encourage you to buy anything. I always find it interesting to see what other people are interested in. I thought I would share. None of this is sponsored. None of it is affiliate. I have purchased all of this with my own money. Please note that any links from Amazon will be from the US Amazon site.

I know that the industry is really trying to make people fear chemicals, but It is really important to have a healthy respect for chemicals. Hopefully, by the end of this post I can help already some of the fear with working with certain ingredients.

A huge welcome to all the new blog members. I hope that my blog will help you reach your desired destination. I realize that my site can be difficult to navigate, so I wanted to create a post on how to navigate it effectively to get the most out of my blog.

I got some requests for lip gloss formulations. I wanted to start with a more "natural" option. I will offer a vegan and a non-vegan version. Since this is a base formula, you can customize it to your liking.
