Heh? Propinquity?? Are you sure??? I have Propinquity and wanted to press it. But I first tried swatching it with a finger slightly damp with FCO and it was a disaster! It became a flat mauve and lost the amazing gold sheen. How did you do that?

I did nothing special! But don't use FCO (still haven't got round to getting it, gah) so this was all done with the EZ Prez medium. I must have done in a crazy impulsive moment because it was the GWP, it's such a precious colour and I put the whole thing by itself in one pan (it only just covered the bottom haha). But all went well :) I use it often and it is super smooth, blends great and has the lovely golden sheen. Must be the FCO/EZ Prez? Or maybe it was still too much FCO? That's such a shame, the gold really makes Propinquity...

Hmmm maybe it's the FCO? Propinquity is still in my "no-press" list. I kept on trying swatching it with FCO bcs I'm curious. But it still disappoints me for losing its glory! :(

Today I finally tried pressing. I didn't have too many full eyeshadows, so mostly I just mixed stuff together and got some colours I actually really like. I was also missing an actual palette so i used an emty cd case :roll: For the pressing I used hand sanitizer and EZ Press :)

Reetta! Love the bewitched mix, is it the one from the EOTD thread! Could you please tell what did you mix?

The mix is pale and does't look yellow

Does anyone own this palette?

http://theconservatorie.com/eyeshadow-p ... -1479.html

Do you like it? Approximate size? I prefer a free style. I looked at the Unii ones and really like them but I am not sure I want to spend that much money.

If anyone has any suggestions for free style palettes, I would appreciate it. I am in Canada.

Edit: The Conservatorie has a $50.00 minimum order. I really doubt I need that many palettes and I am not sure what else I could order. I think I will skip this site.
