I will, thanks for the offer. I will try the smaler ones as well then. Luckily there are both bigger and smaller douglas stores near Marienplatz.
And you are right, they are absolutely gorgeous. I was looking for swatches yesterday and decided I need them as well
Oh and about the 99.9% alcohol: Maybe you can get them at a pharmacy (apotheke). They definitely have the 70% alcohol.
I haven't had the courage to try pressing pigments jet...hope it will work for you.
I have a question about a pigment as well, perhaps you ladys know...I just got my hand on a Green pigment, old style jar and Batch AB3. As far as I know this is a discontinued color. Is that right? THe color is a darker green with shimmer, not a matte.

No prob, glad to help
You can either get it at the pharmacy or at an old-fashioned Drogerie.
When I press pigments I put some in the pan and mix it with a bit of alcohol and stir the mixture. Then I add more pigment/alcohol as needed and stir. Try to not get the mixture too wet. It's not a problem, but you have to wait longer that way.
When you have enough mix in the pan take it an let it drop from about 1cm height so that it evens out in the pan and you get all the air out. Then let it try a bit. When you touch it with your fingers and it feels dry enough to touch it is ready to press.
As tools I have a small spatula (like to ones you get for creams to take out of the jar) and I have something like a small pipette to drop the alcohol into the mixture in the pan. Some people prefer to spray the liquid, I prefer the pipette.
For pressing I misuse the stamper you have if you have a real espresso machine
Just give it a dry and see what works best for you. And one last tip, for the first pan, try not to make it too full, it handles easier that way.
Oh, and we'd love to see some pictures of your pressed pigments and hear how it worked for you

Thanks bis, for all the tips! Maybe I'll take a plunge at the weekend - first I've to get the alcohol!
Silvia, if you go to your counter on Monday, maybe you could ask about Peacocky as well?
Most of the German blogs have the following dates for Stylishly yours - December 20th, ChamPale January 3rd. Nothing on Mickey and Peacocky yet... (Oh God, Peacocky will break me and my wallet... That's the most anticipated collection for me in a long time. I loved TT for the design, but I really love MAC best for all the innovative formulas they do!)

At the pharmacy ask for 70% alcohol, anything higher than that and you have to pay alcohol taxes (Branntweinsteuer). That's why 90% ethanol alcohol is more expansive than 70% isopropyl alcohol. I use 90% ethanol alcohol. It works well. I never had any problems so far.
My lusting for Cham-Pale has died due to the lack of information. If Stylishly Yours comes out Dec 20 I will take a closer look at Cockney l/s. And then there's Peascocky on the horizon

I just bought it and got a chance to flip through the pages during my waiting for the underground - all the snow makes public transport a bit erratic... but thanks to that, I got the info! Maybe I get the chance to scan them at work tomorrow. Would you all be interested or are you all Glamour readers?

You are not alone, Peacocky will break my piggybank as well. Especially the lipcremes. I love pigmented glosses
Let me know how the pressing goes

I'd love to see it, thanks Anneri! I'm crazy about that green eyeshadow.
I'm sad that I'll probably miss Peacocky (i'm moving around the 2nd February
)
