I have a batch sitting here too that looks perfect, but when I cut it, it crumbled to all heck.. afte a 2 month cure, it still dries the heck out of my skin.. definitely lye heavy for this batch.. HTH Teri
I seriously suggest you purchase your castor oil from wholesalesuppliesplus or Majestic Mountain Sage. THe prices are great especially with the flat rate shipping from WSP!
Do they bleed in CP? I am always looking for great colorants! I have tried a few and have been disappointed. I hate to have to by Select Shades from Tradewinds..but .. it looks like I won't have a choice..
I LOVE the look of beveled soap! I also like the feel of it in the shower. I like to bevel them and polish them.. They look really awesome! Thanks to Eugenia for that tidbit.. and so many others!
Great! I already have 2 of his molds.. now I need to buy the beveler too! I know I have posted this a few times already, but BOY O BOY do I LOVE my TOG molds!!
You are so gonna love your mold! I just made 2 batches with my new mold and can't imagine any other type of mold to use! I just love how the hinges drop down and your slab just slides out! EASY PEASY!! I just need to order his larger mold now for my favorite bar batches..
I just wanted to thank MichelleB again for this great recipe! This is the one recipe that I have been using the most.. It makes one fantastic bar of soap!
Oh Chickie.. I can't wait to order from you!!!! Ride like the wind and get that website up and running girl... I have money burning a hole in my pocket!
I use Peaks exclusively, it smells great.. *but* I tried adding about 25% butterscotch to it and you will not believe the throw and the strenth I get with my parasoy blend.. You could even start by adding 10% and go from there to see if it improves the throw.. I have gotten rave reviews with this blend.. HTH.. teri
Yeah Chickie!! I only use mineral based eyeshadows... I lOOOOOVEEE THEM! I have been getting mine on ebay, but I would love to support you girl! I need some new ones, so keep us posted! Your colors look awesome! teri
