This adorable little mixer is a Badger Air-Brush Co. 121 Paint Mixer; I suspect Badger has discontinued them as they are unavailable most places I checked. Thankfully Lotion Crafter, where I bought mine, still has them!
I used this gadget to mix small batches of things that need a thorough stirring, but aren’t being emulsified—this is usually blending pigments/micas into base ingredients when making colour cosmetics. It isn’t as powerful or as large as the Mini Mixer I use, and I don’t tend to use them interchangeably; I either need the small head and medium blending speed of the Micro, or I need the larger head and strong kick of the Mini.
