i have a question!!

do the pressed glitters ever go bad? i remember making some mixing medium myself (3 parts water, 1 part glycerin) and I put it in a plastic container, and about 2 weeks later, i found mold on top when I opened it.

Will this happen to the pressed glitter since you used glycerin? thanks.

i haven't had a problem with them yet. theres no separation or anything. i think your problem might have been having it in the plastic container. my mixing medium has always been in a glass or metal container or it has been VERY tightly sealed. maybe that was the case?

drugstores have it. its either in with the beauty stuff or the first ad depending on what store you got it from. i got mine at walgreens and it was with the beauty i belive hope that helps...plus you can always ask someone in the store and they normally know where it is

What is it called exactly. All i'm finding is glycerin suppositories and pills.

Could any of the MAC Mixing Mediums be used in instead?

Because like Robby I'm having trouble with trying to find liquid glycerine as well.

But Coastal Scents is selling something called EZ Prez:

Coastal Scents: EZ Prez&trade Pressing Medium

^I might buy it and see if that can work as well.

That's what I'm going to use. It has these ingredients already. It works for pressing mineral eyeshadows, pigments, etc. Letcha knows how it works out.

Do you know if this technique would work with mattes as well as glitters?

mattes as in pigments or what? if pigments then yes it should or just using alcohol to press would work

Some types of personal lubricant are actually almost entirely glycerine
