Here's what you'll learn:

  • Five inexpensive formulation tricks used by brands like Tata Harper & Charlotte Tillbury to make their pricey products

  • Why your lotions don't feel as good as high-end emulsions, even though you're using beautiful, top-quality ingredients

  • Small tweaks to take your lotions from amateurish to professional

  • How to implement these strategies to instantly improve your emulsions—in your own formulations or in formulations you find online that just need a little something extra

  • Quick fixes for better emulsions

    These strategies are easy to implement and will immediately improve your emulsions—I'll show you how with sample formulations so you can get to work.

  • Why their emulsions are lighter than yours

    Lightweight carrier oils will only get you so far.

    I'll explain two big reasons why luxury lotions leave the skin moisturized without feeling greasy.

  • Exposing the cheap strategies luxury brands use - and WHY

    If you've found yourself frustrated with greasy, draggy, skiddy, or otherwise amateurish feeling lotions and creams, then this mini masterclass is for you.

If you want to give your emulsions that wonderful luxurious touch, then this mini course is for you. Marie initiates you in a very accessible way (step by step) into the secrets of often very expensive luxury creams. This way I was able to make my 'not bad' emulsion into a truly luxurious feeling bliss, without having to use all kinds of expensive or hard to find ingredients. Wonderful, Marie!

FAQ

  • How is the mini masterclass presented?

    The mini masterclass is primarily presented as a 35 minute video presentation with full English closed captions.

    The cheat sheet is a downloadable PDF.

    The spreadsheets are available as a Google Drive/Sheets file and XLSX format.

  • How long is the mini masterclass?

    The mini masterclass presentation is approximately 35 minutes long.

  • How do I access the mini masterclass and cheat sheet?

    After you sign up you'll log in here on the Workshops portal, select The Luxurious Lotions Mini Masterclass, and voila!

  • How much making experience do I need to take this mini masterclass?

    You don't need a ton of DIYing experience to dive into this workshop, but you do need some. If you've taken my DIY Skincare for Beginners mini-course and made a couple lotions/creams, you're definitely ready for this mini masterclass :)

    You should know how to:

    • Use a scale to weigh out your ingredients
    • Work in percentages
    • Follow good manufacturing practices

    If you've made some lotions and creams and would like to start making some positive changes to those formulations, this mini masterclass is perfect for you.

    If you've already been formulating your own lotions and creams from the ground up for years and are excellent at troubleshooting challenges with your emulsions, this mini masterclass is probably too basic for you.
  • Is this formulation all natural/vegan/palm free/etc.?

    I'll be teaching you five formulation strategies; whether or not they're natural/vegan/palm free/etc. will depend on the ingredients you choose to use for your formulations.

  • Will this teach me how to make chemical free lotions and creams?

    No; and that's simply because literally everything is chemicals. The water you drink, the air you breathe, and the food you eat are all made up entirely of chemicals. "Chemical" doesn't mean something is bad—it really just means it exists :)

  • Does the presentation have subtitles?

    Yes! The video has full English subtitles.

  • Does this workshop include tutoring/on-going support?

    No; this mini masterclass is entirely self-serve.

    If you need additional support I recommend becoming a Humblebee & Me patron at the "Office Hours" tier; this includes two live 'office hours' sessions each month where you are welcome to ask questions.

  • Can I get a refund?

    I'm thrilled that you're considering signing up for my mini masterclass, and I want you to sign up with complete confidence. That's why I offer a 5-day money-back guarantee. If you find the mini masterclass isn't as described, just shoot me an email (reply to your order confirmation).

    Please ensure you read the description carefully before enrolling as the guarantee covers situations where the mini masterclass doesn't match its description, not a change of mind due to not reading what's included.
