Had a fun time learning about the various ingredients you can add to make dry shampoo today. Thanks Mix cosmetiques! I will definitely be back to try the makeup classes soon.
The lip gloss workshop was so much fun! Lanae was warm, kind, and welcoming. She encouraged trial and error as well as getting messy! Her knowledge of the ingredients and what properties they added to the gloss (pigment, moisture, long wearing, etc.) were extremely helpful in creating the perfect gloss! I love my new lip gloss and will be back for other classes!
My aunt brought me to this class for a birthday present. What a fun thing to do! Lanea was knowledgeable and fun, she explained everything clearly and I learned a lot! I loved that the products were body and earth conscious. I also loved that I could choose different ingredients to make my bath salts to my specific needs and likes. We also enjoyed shopping after, we each picked up lotion and bug balm. I am already planning my next visit!
My 2 daughters and I took the lotion class. We had a wonderful time. Out instructor was patient, friendly, informative, and you could tell she loved her job. We will be taking another class if we make it back to Duluth.
I would highly recommend Mix Cosmetiques for a fun outing, such as their bath bomb making class. It was amazing and so much fun! And of course the bath bombs were so nice to use! And smelled amazing!
I highly recommend taking this class! My friends and I had such a blast customizing a palette to ourselves. Lanae has such great energy and was very helpful! If you are thinking about taking a class do it! You will not regret!
The class was very interesting and informative. I learned a lot of what the ingredients are and what they will do for my skin. Lanae knows her chemistry. She made the lesson easy to follow and understand. She is very friendly and made me feel comfortable. Can’t wait to take another class!!
