lindsaycb Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 I'm looking at small glitter from FNWL...but it still looks huge to me. Do people really like glitter like that?Or is it really mica that they're fond off?I have all this mica from Shutters last coop and don't have a clue what to do with it. LOL. If I put it in a bomb, will it leave a mica ring? Or just give me a nice little sheen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asheebeans Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 I thought I read somewhere that you will leave a sparkly ring around your tub if you use micas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firegirl Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 Yep.. read the same thing.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLSoaps Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 I would imagine it'd leave a mess in your bathtub. I don't know what type of micas these are, but if they're lip safe, they can be used in lip balms. I also like to use some in lotions every once in a while. Micas can be used in soaps. I don't use them very often, but I know a lot of people do. Glitter in soaps, while nice in theory, end up being scratchy. There are a lot of different grades to glitters. I haven't used them much, but when I did, I got the Ultrafine (they also have fine) grade from MMS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CareBear Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 I have used some wonderful Lush products with micas (or something glittery at least) in them. Yup, leaves some in the tub. Worth it cause the shimmer makes me feel purty! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbrown Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 I thought I read somewhere that you will leave a sparkly ring around your tub if you use micas. Yes this is true. I know because I made bombs with mica. I wanted a really pretty bright pink. The color turned out great but I hated the ring that it left in the tub. I would imagine that if you try a fine glitter the ring wouldn't be to bad. I am going to give this a try sometime this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lindsaycb Posted May 14, 2007 Author Share Posted May 14, 2007 well I think I'll just try & brush it on the tops instead of in the entire bomb. We'll see...I don't mind a ring since I know it won't be there long with everyone else in this house using my bubbles & such. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
