Pinked Mauve is a little less bright than that, but definitley not the dark purple I've seen other people get.
The lipgloss is just vaseline + lily white.
The edges of the pans are actually pretty messy, but when I was done I just went around what I could with some water on a q-tip to clean stuff up =)

^ I'm not sure. I think any standard rubbing alcohol will due, but don't really know =/

there is a fabulous cheap gloss from ELF (eyeslipsface), it is called "Super Glossy Lip Shine SPF 15" - it's only a buck!
Anyway, I had 2 empty containers and I put some gloss in them then mixed the apricot pink in one and pinked mauve in the other - it turned out awesome and the gloss has a great smell to it too! I used the clear/sparkly gloss called "Angel". I'll take a pic of my lips later and the containers.

Wow!! These are incredible, I wonder how they wear? I wonder who the very first person to come up with this idea was?

from what I remember, either the girl who pressed these or someone else said that pinked mauve doesn't press very well. Also, don't try Acid Orange
eta: it takes about 1 tsp to do a whole pan and right now Claire's is having a buy one get one 1/2 off sale on their eyeshadows (which are about the same size as a MAC shadow). It comes in a 20 pack and girls have been buying it and scraping out the crappy shadow.

pressed pigment (lovely lily) help!~!
im pressing my pigments right now. and i dedcied to try lovely lily, but im getting this werid slick on top of it.. its like when u mix oil with water.. and i'm using 70% rubbing alcohol. its like the pigment is oily.. it just slides right off the plastic spatula, while the other pigments just stays on it..
edit: from what its seems.. its oil in the pigment., i just pressed a piece of paper in the lil dark wells.. and the paper soaks it up.. and it turned transpaprent.. i figured out the problem. but from seeing other memebrs picture of lovely lily it turnedout fine for them. but mines turned out a whole like different. i wonder why. i cleaned the pan with alcohol prior to pressing.
this is how it looks like when its wet.
and this is how its looks like 10 min after it dries
but here is the finished work on the other pigments i used.

hmm, ive never pressed pigments before but the only thing i can think of is that you had some oily residue come in contact w/your pigments. again, i have no idea how you use/handle your pigments so i could be totally wrong. maybe it was their pacaging error in the way they manfactured it.
but i must say you did a lovely job pressing all those piggies
i really do need to give it a try one of these days.
