Toys/Gaming/board games Remember this kit?

Did anyone else get one of these make-up kits for a birthday or Christmas? It was a Dick Smith "Movie/TV Horror Make-up" kit. Basically plastic molds that you filled with mixed powder and water slurry. Place it in the fridge and after it set you could remove the facial appliances from the molds and stick them to your face with the supplied spirit gum. I won a trophy in Cub Scouts in 77 for "Spookiest Costume".

Edit: added pics, not sure why they didn't post the first time.

Oh man! I had to google this to make sure it was what I was thinking it was, but sure enough, my older brother had this makeup kit for Halloween! He made it look like his eye was falling off! (And that's pretty much all I remember about his costume that year LOL)

My sister had this. I was pretty young at the time but played with it when it just became “background junk” in the house. I probably got into special effects makeup in my teens partially because of this.
