  1. Forgot to mention that I have not had the colors tint my lips but then I just use a little bit of color.
  2. I have the lip safe colorants from The Sage, they work great, I just dip a toothpick in the color and then stir it into my melted lip balm base - a little goes a long way http://www.thesage.com/catalog/LipBalmColors,OilSoluble.html
  3. They are all very nice, my favorite is the Blue/Yellow/White soap - way cool! :smiley2:
  4. Islandgirl - your animated gif is hilarious
  5. Love the soap - my favorite color...and I love mojitos!
  6. Do you mean like a kelsi mold? http://www.kelseiscreations.com/
  7. Nice soaps! What colorant did you put in the Liquid crack one to get that color?
  8. Thanks Candybee. I usually pay attention to make sure it is labeled body safe but missed the boat on this one
  9. I am just curious what makes some FO's not body safe? Is it that they just have not been tested? I ordered a FO that I though was body safe and then noticed on the bottle is is not, I was so bummed because it smells soooo good.
  10. You site looks great, love the colors and the rose picture! I do agree about the pics, if you used a white backgroud or a more neutral colored background it would make your products stand out and look more professional. :smiley2:
  11. Last weekend I made 2 batches of soap that I have made before. I usually put my lye water in the garage over night and soap at room temperature and have no problems. Well, we had a lot colder weather here in AZ than normal and I didn't think about the fact the garage was a lot colder. My lye did not freeze but it was very cool. Anyways, my soap traced so fast, I didn't even have enough time to thoroughly add much color. I had to scoop the soap into the mold. I ended up tossing the soap in the trash because I hated it, what a waste of oils! I would wait until the lye water warms up to room temperature before using.
  12. I sent you a pic on Feb 4 to your email address you provided, let me know if you didn't get it and I will resend. I really like the soap and lotion!
  13. I have never used the Avery labels for my products, only envelopes - I just love the software though. I buy from onlinelabels and then create my label template to use with the Avery Software.
  14. I do not use Online Labels templates, I prefer Avery Label Designer. Online Labels provides the dimensions and then I create my label template in Avery Label Designer. What's nice about the avery software is that you can create tabs for each FO and only print the quantity you want.
  15. I order mine from Online Labels http://www.onlinelabels.com/ You have to order a larger quantity but I like that they come in plastic container boxes -helps me keep my labels organized.
  16. Great ideas, thanks! Kitn - what kind of tape do you use?
  17. I shipped some lotions to my sis in PA and 2 of them opened. I am wondering how everyone packages their lotions to keep them from opening due to pressure?
  18. Yuck! I can't believe she is trying to sell that stuff.
  19. I didn't mix the pink mica with anthing, just mixed it straight into my oil/lye mixture. At least I had made 2 logs of the same soap that day and the other one came out great. Definitely a mystery. Thanks for all your input into my mystery soap problem! :smiley2:
  20. I used: 25% Palm 25% Coconut 10% Beef Tallow 5% Castor 5% Avacado butter 30% Soybean Oil The top half I used TKB Green Apple Pop mica, that part it just fine. The bottom half I used Peak's Pearl Pink mica. No cracks in it.
  21. It does not zap so that is good. It is just so weird that I only made one batch, mixed well to very light trace and then split it to create a bar with 2 different colors. The top half of the bar is just perfect, the bottom part had the problem. I was thinking that it had to do with overheating. I will just have to watch it for a while and see if it ever hardens.
