DIY Cosmetics - Fun With Fragrance

I’m not lucky like the other Beauty Brains because I don’t have access to a lab for making all the cosmetics my heart desires. However, here’s a kit from Thames & Kosmos that will appeal to budding perfumer in all of us. The Perfume Science kit is a mini-lab complete with a variety of perfume oils, mixing vessels and book explaining the basic science behind it all. The kit is uber-cute but be careful. I got some lavender oil on my hand and I’m still smelling it 2 days later.

Where do YOU find the best recipes for home-made cosmetics? Leave a comment and let the rest of the closet cosmetic chemists in the Beauty Brains community know about it.

That company also has a kit for young girls to learn the science of make-up as well. I was buying a birthday present for a 9 y/o boy earlier this week and I came across the make-up kit and immediately wanted to research it when I got home, but of course forgot the name! And I wanted to post about it in the forum. Sooo I am glad you posted this Mid Brain! Thanks!

BTW–I got him something that makes 2L bottles of soda explode! I don’t know the kid at all and was asked to get him something under $20-

I use the book “The Complete Book of Essential Oils and Aromatherapy” as a reference for some things. It’s pretty good, but the author is British, and some oils you can only find in England.

Lavender is a scent that I just love. If there’s a scent I had to be stuck with for two days, that one would definitely be on my list!
