how many scoops?

Post by ladycattat » Tue Aug 18, 2009 12:08 am

I know that somebody(Faith, I think) got all mathimatical and figured out recipes for foundations in larger quantities bases on the number of tiny scoops in each refill baggie.(THE ONE THAT SELLS FOR $5.50)
Problem is, I cannot remember if it is 32 scoops or 36. If somebody could help, I be most grateful.
I tried a new recipe based on a lot more *glow*, and ugh, ugh, ugh! I had pores where I didn't even know I had pores! So I am starting over with a fresh batch. I feel like the Tin Man!
TIA!

Hiya Faith....I was so sure it was you....anyway, how are you doing? I know things have been awfully sad for you, but I hope that you are feeling some sense of balance come back into your life.
Please take care, and if you want to talk, we are here!

The tiny scoop sold here says that it is 1/32 of a teaspoon:

The refill bag contains one tablespoon of product, and since there are 3 teaspoons in a tablespoon, the refill bag would contain the equivalent of 96 of those tiny scoops.
