    Make up forever makes a finishing powder with 100%silica powder
  2. smittenheart
    Yes..earlier this year i believe..tkb had said that their supplier was no longer making it..sooo back to the drawing board.. I heard the conservatoire has similar colors...but ive never tried them..good luck

    Im thinking that this is about the best way to go about getting oils/butters..getting together with other soapers to pull together an order..itll save on shipping costs..but also makes sense environmentally..all I know is this sucks

    I like powder too..mainly because I can store the powder easier than the liquid.. you'll LOVE it!! I havent tried making the liquid..

    Im super irraz too and I just soap..I mean soaping can go on with or without color but the poor makeup folks..eek!!! I worry about them too!!

    i use a cocoa butter,coconut oil-equal amounts..a little less amount in beeswax..and a splash of olive oil..like my precise measuring I cant use shea since for some odd reason it makes my skin drier I wish I could use it though..seems like a piece of heaven!!

    I seem to keep going back to CF because it seems like a one stop shop..other places seem to only have some but not all base oils.. though prices are going up across the board it seems I cant log onto Oils by nature to compare prices-the website said they are doing inventory..

    ya know..I see this a lot where soapers sell their soaps with a 'do not use by' date on them..and I personally dont see WHY they do this.. I mean I get that time at my house - time at your house..tomatoe,tomato.. but REALLY whats the rush??!!

    theres a supplier about an hour or so away from me..their shipping is about double what I paid when something was shipped from Washington state..go figure!! shipping hurts EVERYTIME!! especially when its about half of what I am purchasing..I mean I get that theres a cost involved but holy cannoli!! its like taking a band aid off though..I just throw everything in at one time and just take it at once.. Im hoping to start making some soaping friends locally and maybe splitting some shipping costs..but I havent met any friendly soaping buddies yet

  16. smittenheart

    does it discolor in soap?? I LOVE that scent..
  18. smittenheart
    My bad.. No excuses..just me and my bad math :/
  19. smittenheart
    huh?? That would be less than .5oz per pound,no???
  20. smittenheart
    be sure to keep a soap notebook also..that way you can track what you like and how you got there.. what are you NOT liking about the soaps that you are making now?? I dont think theres a 'perfect' soap recipe because what is good for one isnt necessarily good for another..

    pop micas and celestial colors

    I was floored when I saw their results on their FB page..I am anxious to hear what others experience are too

  24. smittenheart
    just wondering..you are using palm but have no idea what palm is?? wait..I just reread you said it was just olive oil that you used?? if so..it could be lye..have you tried using the bar??
