My First Time - Pressing TKB Micas and MAC Pigments

Sharing my Saturday with you all... for the first time ever. ^_^ I pressed my own mineral eyeshadow from TKB Micas and MAC pigments. It took me a day to research online and watch a few tutorials on how to press your own eyeshadows. That was a week ago.. I didn't have time to do this until today... Finally.... ^_^
 Pressing Micas was very hard and very very messy.
This is my finished pressed Micas. I place them in a magnet palette I got from Stars MakeUp Heaven. 

Micas swatches below ^_^ !
 Micas I pressed:
Soft Green, Blue Ice, Aztec Gold, Antique Gold, Cloisonne Red, Patagonian Purple, Bishop's Violet, Amethyst, Green Apple, Copper Penny, Sapphire, Indian Blue, Coral Reef Blue, True Red/Orange, Passion Orange  
(sorry I didn't list the name of these Micas in the same order in the picture swatches)
These Micas are very pigmented and the colors are beautiful.
I really love it! <3 <3 <3
MAC pigments are more easy to press because all the ingredients are already formulated so all you need is 90 - 100 % alcohol.
MAC pigments I pressed: Heritage Rouge, Kitschmas, Antique Green, Mutiny, Golden Lemon, Pink Bronze and Rose

A few MAC pigment swatches below! Pretty colors!!!
I think I did a good job for a noob. LOL!  Well, this is something I will continue doing. I might build up my Micas collection and I will finish pressing the rest of my MAC pigments. <3

This was fun! . . .  = ^_^ =
