Pictures!! Pictures!! Pictures!!

These are some of the older colors that I had from The Chemistry Store. They worked great for me last year so I decided to get some new colors.

 

These are the newer colors. So far I have used Santa Red for TCR: Raspberry Mint and Hyacinth for Caribbean Sun.

 

Top Left to Right : 'Uh-oh' blend. I mistakenly added Egyptian Musk FO instead of Pina Colada. TCR Chocolate Orange.

Bottom Left to Right: TCR Caribbean Sun (used Hyacinth and Royal Blue, colors morphed terribly)

 and Green Apple.

Cut pictures will be coming at the end of the week provided we have good natural sunlight.

 

I had previously tried some micas from Bramble Berry. Each and everyone discolored to either grey or a puke-y tan. I was out done. No matter what the FO, EO or blend none of them stayed true to their supposed colors. This time I am attempting to use The Chemistry Store's micas.  I have used Royal Blue and that one has discolored to a lovely Lilac. The blend was TCR Caribbean Sun which has some brown and yellow undertones due to the FOs used. This week I am going to attempt to use the Orange and Bordeaux and see if I have any success.

Now, on to some exciting news. I have decided to place gift bags in salons and boutiques in Lancaster. This week I am planning out the labels, fragrances and sizes.

Fragrance Reviews:
Black Tie (Crafter's Choice): Much hyped but smells sweet and reminiscent of cotton candy with Basil. Haven't soaped it yet but will soon.

Bay Rum (Bath Body Supply): Not as strong or masculine as Bramble Berry's. Doesn't have the staying power in soap like I had hoped. This one will be used for feminine blends rather than masculine.

Yuzu (Crafter's Choice): A very unusual but pleasant citrus scent. I may be able to blend this to bring out the wonderful fragrance in soap. Will have to see.
