Hi, Lise - What kind of mixing aparat you have there? And where did you get it? I know Marie Reyma uses coffee grinder, but I haven't found any from here.
You can use a kitchen blender with a small container instead. Oster makes one that fits on most Osterizer blenders: http://www.oster.com/parts-and-accessories/blenders/oster-blender-mini-blend-jar/004937-000-NP0.html?gclid=Cj0KEQjwjoC6BRDXuvnw4Ym2y8MBEiQACA-jWSdOvdpyP8diqg5mj1J_wX-HL6eNXJnG7ZQy1iRfIBwaAn4R8P8HAQ&kwid=productads-adid^55532709250-device^c-plaid^18283950120-sku^004937@ADL4000@ADL4NP0-adType^PLA
You can also use one of the personal size blenders, like the magic bullet.
The basic idea is that you want to use a sharp blade, moving at high speed, in a small, dustproof container. Anything that fits the description can be used: coffee grinders, spice grinders, mini food processors, kitchen blenders, even miniature versions of professional equipment: http://www.amazon.com/CapsulCN-Machines-V-Blender-Pharmacy-Compounding/dp/B00D06Q99W.
Thank you Bob for your reply! Signe - Bob is the right man to answer this :)

Dear Lise, thank you for sharing your wonderful wealth of wisdom, I love your blog! Can I mix in the mica using a mortar and pistel? Or is that essentially the same as blending it, do you know? Good sunday to you!
HI Rosa - Thanks for your kind words! If you use a mortar and pestle with mica, you risk destroying the glitter effect of the mica. Mica should ideally be added by sifting everything together or stirring very very thoroughly-
