Scented Foundations?

In another post, Ghost mentions Lavander scented foundations. Using the link she gave, I found this page:

I know scents are very subjective. Is there a way to sell the scents seperately for individuals to choose if they want to add it for themselves? I just thought that with the vitamin C powders, glows and perfecting powders that we already toss into the mix, it'll be nice to be able to toss in some lavander too? I would do it for the scent, haha, but I think lavendar (and other herbs/flowers) have medicinal properties?

There's no reason why you can't...but I think you'd need a grinder just to make sure it disperses well in the powder. I'd do just a little little bit- not more than a drop in a whole thing of foundation. Personally- it may be easier to spritz with a floral water to get the same benefits, and it would be easier for allergy testing. EO's are pretty strong medicine sometimes, and they're not generally something I like to use "neat" on skin unless absolutely necessary. Floral waters are pre-diluted and may be a better choice.

Thanks for the info, Karen!

I started reading up on floral waters and I think one of these Sundays, I'll do a bit of experimenting and see what happens. This Sunday is "pressing" day.. haha, I'm going to attempt to press my eye shadows and blushes; try different methods, see which works (or doesn't).
