BFTE cosmetics Mineral pressing kit


This kit includes: hard pressed pressing medium, 12 pan magnetic palette, 12 empty eyeshadow pans (26mm diameter just like MAC!), mixing jar, spatula and a pressing disc. All in a cute hot pink bag! When I used this kit it was the first time I tried pressing pigments. The pigments I used were Barry m dazzle dusts. I had to adjust the amount of the pressing medium I added because when I followed the instructions my pigment never set properly.......so was wasted :( Even though many you tube videos show that the consistency has to be quite cakey, in actual fact using this kit I required a much more runny mix for my dazzle dusts to set and dry. I used around 20-25 drops per eyeshadow. The amount of medium they provide in this kit is very little if you want to press several pigments. Good amount for a starter though. It was $18 which is awesome as at MAC one 15 pro palette that I had purchased was £20! The only thing I yearn for in this kit is a rubbing alcohol to sanitize everything. Oh and shipping took around 6-7 business days which is so fast for international delivery.
