The Cauldron: A Pagan Forum

Yes I saw their suggestions but I was also wondering where to buy some special ones meant for spell work.

 
Well, I dunno about magic lipsticks (I'm tempted to say 'Sephora' but I'm teasing) but you can buy perfumes and the like that are magical in nature. Lucky Mojo sells condition oils, and places like Black Phoenix Alchemy Labs sell perfume oil blends with particular aims in mind.

I have no issue with buying supplies premade, but if you don't have your basics down they won't do you much good.

I'm not saying that one shouldn't use premade. I'm saying that having the skill is a building block to other work, and that if she's going to magic-roofie the guy, she should at least know how to acquire the drug first.

 
I don't necessarily disagree, I just didn't see that particular nuance in your previous response.

 
I have a couple things to say, I think.

First, perhaps this will be of use.

Second, seriously, be careful what you put on your parts, especially if any of it will be going in, at all. Female genitals have a delicate PH balance to maintain, the skin is sensitive and plenty of it is membranous, and otherwise it is really easy to give yourself a yeast infection, injury, or worse. Pointy glitter does not belong on or in the vulva.

Last, as far as specific products: I don't know of any specific 'witchcraft' cosmetics you'd use, and if I were you I'd be weary of people advertising it online (eg on etsy), especially if they won't tell you the grade of the glitter or the ingredients list (which are required to be listed on all makeup/skin products/consumables, so if they won't tell you, it's really sketchy).

That said, you could try seeing if any 'organic'/'all natural' products call your name. They are marginally less likely to react with your skin and might feel a bit more 'spiritual.' You can generally find this sort of thing at health food stores, and lots of mainstream brands (eg Physician's Formula) have organic lines.

I'd suggest, if cosmetic magic is something you think you'd like to do in the long run, buying a set of brushes specifically for applying it. Ecotools brushes are high-quality and natural/cruelty free as well as very cheap for makeup brushes. A large powder brush for this sort of spellwork, and maybe a couple eye area brushes if you think you'd need them in the future. That might help with a sense of ritual and also with dedicating the cosmetics, since there aren't really any specific brands.

Avoid talc and mica, and generally be careful what goes on your body.

This comes to mind as a nice product to dedicate for lovey stuff and also to not hurt your body.

Thanks, I could that psychians formula at Wal-Mart.

Yes, and I shouldn't have glossed over that. I went into it assuming that since she (I think) said she was using basic cheap glitter, that she didn't have any known reactions. Spot-testing would probably be a good idea for whatever she ends up using.

And yes, 'natural' and 'organic' are buzzwords that often don't mean anything. When they are on the truer side, it can at least mean less ingredients, less to look up, and less that have weird names, although I was mostly going off that feeling less chemically might make it easier to feel more spell-y. When I said 'marginally less likely to react' I very much meant the 'marginally' and was mostly going off the request: "I was also wondering where to buy some special ones meant for spell work."

tl;dr you are right and I definitely don't want to endanger anyone (or their skin), but I did mention it for a reason.

 
Might also be worth checking into various Etsy sellers who are making their own cosmetics. Not only is there a tendency to use fewer unpronounceable ingredients, but they'll also be able to speak better to exactly what's in it.

Indeed, I used to work for an indie makeup brand as a promoter. I actually cautioned against etsy in my first post, but I thought I'd clarify here that it isn't makeup on etsy that worries me, it's people making '~~~love attraction body powder~~~' and not listing the ingredients that I'm worried about being a problem.

Also, I just read a thing on how to make blush and stuff out of beetroot powder. Basically dry and grind beets, adjust with other stuff, and apply. If you want to make and charge and so on your own tools, that would be an option. It was pretty googleable.

Oh, yeah. I totally agree with you on the "love attraction body powder" thing. Nothing goes on my skin that doesn't have an ingredient list.

Using cosmetics for magical purposes is a time-honored tradition, so at least when it comes to delivery vector you're on the right track.  Have you considered something other than glitter--like an anointing oil, or standard face makeup?  Maybe enchanting a little pot of eyeshadow powder or a lipstick that you can use repeatedly in a low-impact way?

 

Sure and I have tons of non-glittery makeup but it doesn't feel special or magickal, any suggestions?

Magical make up is a cool idea. I don't recommend putting any product near your nethers which was not designed to be there - even some products which say that is what they are for (i.e. special shampoos) can be damaging and invite infections.

 

Okay I thought there was special makeup for the nether region. I really did consider getting body paint for the area for the spell. But the thing is, I really want something colorful but sensitive enough for the clitorial area (sorry for being graphic).
