Thanks! I will give it another try (I was right to buy more containers). In the meantime, I will use the current trans as a mascara for eyebrows. It looks amazingly natural and from the eyebrows it doesn't smudge on the eyes. I even got compliments :)

Good afternoon. With the ingredients available to us at the moment, we couldn't get a better adhesion on the lashes. Plant-based alternatives to silicones don't help much in such formulas, possibly replacing vanilla oil with broccoli oil could make a difference, but we haven't done any tests on this so far. You could try replacing some of the clay with wax and add 1-2 drops of vitamin E. If you manage to get a better texture, we would be happy to share your experiments with us. Thank you for your trust,

Good evening! Yesterday I followed this recipe and made the brown mascara. On the one hand it is very pretty in shade and consistency but on the other hand, immediately after drying on the lashes it becomes dusty and it flakes very quickly on the skin around the eyes. I understand that it's not waterproof but I didn't expect it to last so short. 1. Is it possible to incorporate some type of silicone to prolong wear resistance? 2. What if we reduce the amount of clay and replace it with a small pellet of wax? 3. Would it be okay if we add a few drops of vit E? Thanks Elemental Team!!! I am so happy to learn from you guys!

Good morning. I have been in touch with customer service and it has indeed been resolved. I wasn't paying attention to the pictures of the product (I had read the description and reviews) and didn't notice the second picture in the presentation. So, in order to be able to weigh the ingredients you have to remove the black cover (on which is written digital scale ) ; I write this because I think that there may be other people who like me in haste or carelessness will consider that this scale is not good. The scale is not defective, it works now since I removed the black cover. Thank you for your help :) wish you.

Hello. I don't know if anyone else is facing such a problem, I'm going to ask here in the hope that you can help me (as you have done so far). I bought the weighing scale from you, initially it seemed to work fine, but lately wherever I place it it always displays different amounts, i.e. it seems quite unstable. What can I do? What am I doing wrong? So far I haven't even used it much, I've been doing simpler recipes (the ones expressed in ml mostly, so I've been using stainless steel spoons, berzelius beaker etc.) For some ingredients I calculated the quantity using the documentation sheet, but not all products have the density listed, so it's quite hard to approximate the quantity for some recipes. I have all the ingredients for this recipe and also for others you have presented,but now I can't realize them because I don't know what's going on with the scale, it seems functional, but when weighing it keeps changing the display. Maybe I don't know how to use it properly. Can you help me with some advice please?

Dear Cream Mixers, I've been looking for an eyelash serum for a long time, do you have any plans to try something like this? I think many people would like it.

Hello Nicoleta. You can prepare a serum in the form of a light gel, the percentages would be approximately as follows: plain water or cornflower water 88.9% + xanthan gum 0.5% + vegetable collagen 5% + vegetable keratin 5% + cosgard 0.6%. You can also consider 2% panthenol or silk protein.

Hello, Can you please tell me a recipe for a lash strengthening serum/lotion that I can put in a mascara container? Preferably I would like it not to contain oils but rather collagen, maybe keratin, but I don't know the exact amounts, Thanks!

You can use a small jar and cleaned, sanitized brush for now. As for the suggested recipe, work with 1% guar gum. Good luck!

Hello, thank you, I will then take the vials for your cough. Until the end of September I was thinking of using a small 5-10 ml jar (Prince or San) for a more hollow gel type eye makeup. Right now I use a Maybelline eyeliner-gel but one of my eyelids keeps getting irritated from the product. That's why I would like to try to do the eyeliner myself, and as soon as possible. I could take the brush from that eye liner and clean it, disinfect it and use that one for the time being in the container mentioned above. My question is if anything should be changed in the recipe of the tus recommended to Irina to be tus-gel. Thank you!

Hello, I was interested in a recipe for eye coughs, but I saw that you presented it below when you replied to Irina. I have, however, one more question to you: when do you receive the container for the eyebush (I saw that it is not in stock and no date is given for when you should receive the product)? Thank you in advance!

Hello Irina. An eyelid tint can be prepared with a simpler gel formula, for example: plain water + 0.8-1% guar gum + 15-20% matte pigment (possibly combined with pearl pigment) + 0.6% grapefruit pit extract. We suggest you make a smaller amount first and do not transfer it to the bottle until you test it. Good luck!

Good evening. I have a request to help me to prepare a black eyelid color. Should other ingredients be added to this recipe, or some eliminated? Or maybe modify the quantities? Thank you in advance.
