Is this the 1 you were looking for?
Dr. Holland’s Silk Dust Primer and/or Finishing Powder
What you need:
-------------------------------------
• Flour sifter;
• One cobalt/amber or opaque glass jar, preferably with a built-in sifter – if you have an old Jurlique Silk Dust container, that would be ideal (note: plastic jar will work, but glass is better b/c it helps maintain the efficacy and integrity of the herbal extracts and EOs);
• One essential oil scent diffuser pad cut into strips;
• 1 Tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon Silk Dust powder (see below for link to order from TKB Trading website);
• 1 1/2 teaspoon corn starch (note: if you decide to include the rice starch, cut amount of corn starch used in half to 3/4 teaspoon instead);
• 3/4 teaspoon rice starch, optional (note: I wasn’t able to find this ingredient because, although my local Central Market grocery store carries Asian/Oriental foods, the labels are mostly in Asian as well so I don’t know what the difference between rice starch and rice flour is, or what would happen if I used the latter.... );
• 1 ˝ teaspoon silica microspheres (available from TKB Trading website);
• 7 drops Calendula extract;
• 5 drops Witch hazel extract;
• 3 drops Rosemary extract, optional
• 3 drops Daisy extract, optional (I didn’t include this in my version);
• 3 drops Sage extract, optional (I didn’t include this in my version);
• 15 drops of any essential oil (or combination of EOs) of your choice – i.e.: lavender, rose, lemon, etc. – have a look at the EO Guide http://www.essentialdayspa.com/forum/viewthread.php?tid=5981&start=233 and pick the one/s that suit your skin type/skin issues).
What you do:
--------------------------------
Sift all dry ingredients together and then place in colored/opaque jar. Pour 7 drops Calendula extract onto one strip from the scent diffuser pad that was previously cut into strips; repeat step for each remaining herbal extract/essential oil using fresh diffuser-scent strip for each one.
Place diffuser strips into jar with dry ingredients, then close lid tightly in store in cool, dry place (I put mine in the fridge) for at least 24 hours to allow “wet” ingredients to infuse the dry ingredients with their essence and benefits.
After allotted time has elapsed, remove scent diffuser strips – powder should be ready to use immediately although, if desired, you may sift ingredients with flour-sifter again to ensure none of the liquid ingredients leaked onto dry ingredients and turned them into a paste (as happened to me the first time I made this Silk Dust because I didn’t have any diffuser strips so I tried using a cut-up coffee filter instead!). |

I see Candy has gallantly come to your rescue already! 
As for the disappearance of the recipe, I read a post saying that the fab DIY recipe thread has been removed to be moderated. It's a real shame and I hope it will be back soon. |
