Because crafting your own lipstick is part chemistry lab, part self-expression.

Last weekend in Dallas I stepped out of the usual routine and into something delightfully different: a visit to MYX Blend Bar in Shops of Legacy or McKinney Avenue. On the surface, it looked like a glam lipstick session—what I found was a playful workshop of color, design, and a little dose of “this is me.”

🧪 STEMinist Meets Lipstick

As someone wired for systems, experiments, and design thinking, this felt like the best of both worlds. Think: pigment mixing (hello color theory), solution chemistry (lip gloss base), and iterative testing (“does this pop on my skin tone?”).

My first pass was a soft rose with a hint of shimmer; my second tweak leaned coral with extra sheen. It was fun, it was hands-on, and yes—there were spreadsheets (just kidding, sort of).

🎀 The Atmosphere

Modern, minimal, and inviting—MYX offers a boutique feeling without the intimidation. The staff walked me through the process, offered suggestions, and encouraged creativity rather than perfection. My takeaway: you’re not just buying a lip product, you’re designing one.

🎁 Perfect for-…

• A creative outing with friends (brunch + blend?)
• A solo self-care reset
• A bachelorette stop or birthday treat
• Anyone who wants to take home more than a purchase—an experience + keepsake

📝 My Takeaway

Something I love about this place: even an hour of playful creation can reset your mindset. I left with two custom formulas, yes—but even more, I walked away reminded that design isn’t only for boards or factories—it’s for lipstick tubes too.

So if you’re in Dallas and looking for a local leisure moment that’s equal parts fun and intentional: book yourself a slot at MYX. Make your mark.
And maybe test annual habit: a “create-something-new” day once a year—just for you.

Color + creation. Systems + self-expression. That’s what happens when lifestyle meets leisure meets design.
