We are moving from our shop in a couple of weeks time so today's party is our last here. The party host has chosen that she and her guests will make lip gloss and perfume.
I think for every child we have ever had at a Plush Folly part (and these run into hundreds, believe me!) 1in every 3 has made lip gloss - we must have a nation of shiny lipped children! Whilst they are very conservative with the colour - pale pink 'iced candy' mica being the most popular, they all drool over the flavours. We offer them a choice of using one or combining two to make a new flavour. Here are the top 5 flavours they all scramble for :
1 Chocolate
2 Cherry
3 Strawberry
4 Vanilla
5 Mint
Last : Coconut! I think we've only ever had one child select coconut.
The recipe we use is very easy and with two of us supervising, it can't possibly go wrong. It's one teaspoon each of grated cocoa butter, shea butter, beeswax and olive oil and two teaspoons of castor oil. This gets mixed together in a little ramekin dish and then melted in a bain marie.
An entertaining and opinionated perfume blog ...

The Make Your Own Lipstick Effect
The lipstick effect is upon us! In times of a recession, instead of cheering ourselves up by spending money on expensive items, we women tend to purchase less costly 'feel good' items such as lipstick. As an inexpensive pick-me-up, wearing a new lipstick can help you look good as well as feel good.
We had a lovely email from one of our customers last week. Instead of buying a lipstick, she had purchased a Make Your Own Cosmetics kit and spent a happy time making lipstick...."my daughter and I shared the box between us and we spent the afternoon making a lip balm, a lip gloss and a lipstick. The results are amazing, I can't believe that we are wearing what we made. It's a double whammy - not only do we have the pleasure of making, but the enjoyment of wearing it too. Thank you - we'll be back for the handcream one next".
So - in times of bank balances going into the red, cheer yourself up and make a shade of lipstick to match!
