Small blue tinted bottles, droppers and misters? Have been coming up empty. Ideas?

you can get them atwww.thepersonalformulator.com + other net shops who sell essential oils, do a search on google for essential oil or aromatherapy and you will get several hits...

otherwise you can get them in some healthfood shops...

Good luck:)

You can also get some cobalt or amber glass bottles at the Container Store (in the “kitchen” section) – that’s where I got a gorgeous glass cobalt bottle that I store my homemade ACV toner in.

The Personal Formulators offer little amber glass bottles with the built-in droppers which is where I get mine for making and sending out my homemade Vit-C serum. I’m not sure about misters – are you talking about perfume atomizers or spray bottles like for hair spray or homemade facial spritzers? For the latter, the Personal Formulators should have those as well, but if you need the perfume misters then I’d recommend checking out websites for making homemade perfume/colonge/fragrances.

And Mabsy told me about this website for buying supplies http://www.makingcosmetics.com/ because I’ve been trying to find empty mascara tubes in which to place my homemade lash growth serum once I begin distributing it to EDS “volunteers” to test, so that might be an option too.

HTH,

Ruth - I have to tip my hat to ya!

Went to the site you recommended. I came home from the gym 2 hrs later to find 2 emails from the company. 1 to say the order was being processed the 2nd to say it had already been shipped!!! I was dumbfounded! Shock

My biggest pet peeve when online shopping is NOT getting updates from the company in regards to the status of my order. Mad

I can even deal with backorders.. just let me know.

Communication with this company is outstanding. I found the products I was looking for, lol, and some I wasn't Shhh

and am anxiously awaiting my order to arrive. Thank you again for your recommendation.

The one thing you need to keep in mind when ordering from the Personal Formulators is that they charge a minimum shipping price of $8.50 (within the U.S. -- international orders are charged much more!), no matter how small your order. For example, I wanted to order a two dollar bottle of propylene glycol and they wanted to charge $8.50 to ship it.

For that reason, I always wait to place orders with them until I have a long "laundry list" of items to make sure that paying for the shipping turns out to be cost effective for me.

But other than that, I adore the Personal Formulators and place an order with them probably every 4-6 weeks whenever I need new ingredients with which to conduct my "mad scientist" experiences! Right now I'm working feverishly on a super-duper eyelash growth and conditioning serum....[/i]

You can also use those inexpensive EOs in your homemade skincare products too!

there's a danish net shop where you can get empty mascara bottles. 10 for about 25 USD, not including postage to the states - they don't send outside of Denmark, but I would be happy to order and send them to you if you would like me to - just let me know if your interested!

I'll probably take you up on that once I iron the kinks out of my "secret formula" -- thanks!!!
