Review: nice mica powder for mineral makeup - After being frustrated with the high costs of my favorite mineral makeup, I decided to try making my own using a recipe I found on Wellness Mama's blog site. This was the product the author recommended (in addition to others). It comes in a 4.4 oz. plastic bag, but you only use a little at a time (1 teaspoon - 1 Tablespoon depending on the size of your batch), so I expect it will last several months (or years) for my purposes. It has a matte off-white/whitish color. It blended well with the other mineral makeup ingredients and provides good coverage. This was my first time making mineral makeup, and although I am still playing around with the color levels for my skin tone, I was very pleased with the results and will definitely be making more in the future.
Review: Good for making Rheoscopic Fluids as well! - Used this to make "Rheoscopic Fluid", which shows currents and movements inside a fluid. NOT for cosmetics purposes. It worked well for my purpose, but did not stay in suspension as long as I would have liked. Other than that it worked well for demonstrations inside a science classroom. Price was good for it's purpose.

- Natural matte Mica (does not have glitter effect) from the mineral Muscovite Mica (potassium aluminum silicate)

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ nice mica powder for mineral makeup
*by L***. on January 14, 2016*

After being frustrated with the high costs of my favorite mineral makeup, I decided to try making my own using a recipe I found on Wellness Mama's blog site. This was the product the author recommended (in addition to others). It comes in a 4.4 oz. plastic bag, but you only use a little at a time (1 teaspoon - 1 Tablespoon depending on the size of your batch), so I expect it will last several months (or years) for my purposes. It has a matte off-white/whitish color. It blended well with the other mineral makeup ingredients and provides good coverage.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good for making Rheoscopic Fluids as well!
*by S***D on July 24, 2015*

Used this to make "Rheoscopic Fluid", which shows currents and movements inside a fluid. NOT for cosmetics purposes. It worked well for my purpose, but did not stay in suspension as long as I would have liked. Other than that it worked well for demonstrations inside a science classroom. Price was good for it's purpose.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lubrication and Reloading!
*by T***F on February 19, 2014*

I use this for a dry lubricant in everything from door locks to the inside neck of ammunition during resizing. It works well and is much less expensive that buying the common small containers.
