Beautiful!!! Love them. I know they didn't come out the right color for you but still so pretty.
The tomato red from TKB is awesome. I haven't used it in CP soap though. It's a perfect red that doesn't bleed. I have soaps that I made Dec of 2013 with that red and still no bleeding. I just bought a bigger bottle because it's my go to red/pink for my products.
TKB does have a neon red, it's ye olde neon red or the reformulated one too. Also, raging raspberry is a really pretty color. not red, but a pretty pretty color.

I was going to suggest the cream too. Or you can find an oil that your face likes and mix it with that before putting it on. Maybe I will see how mine works with doing the oil thing and get back to you. When I first started making mineral makeup, I didn't think my face would like the powder since I had never been able to us it before. At first I would use a moisturizer before putting it on but now I use a mix of oils on my face first. I haven't tried mixing the powders with the oils yet though. The makeup I make is as natural as you can get.

I make mineral makeup with no chemicals. Are you wanting liquid foundation instead?

Wow! I haven't looked at this in awhile. Your soaps are amazing! I haven't made soap in awhile and this makes me want to start again.

Thank you!!
Now if I could just find a way to organize everything. all of my products and supplies are taking over my apartment.

It sells really well for me. I keep the name and don't mix it with anything else. I do want to mix it with other fragrances to make other scents but haven't done it yet.
-
Wow. So so pretty!
-
WOW!!! Those look amazing. Great colors and the scents sound yummy.

It's never too late to comment! I'm just now seeing it. lol. I am SO happy to be an inspiration to others! Thank you for such kind words on my work and everything! It's taken a lot of research and testing to get where I am. I am always researching things and wanting to add more. I promised myself I wouldn't add new products this year but of course I have a couple in the works. lol. It's just too fun to create!
I'm sure you'll be there soon! It's been 4 years since I started doing wax melts and then added other stuff as I've gone along. I feel like I just started but it also feels like forever ago.

I'm another one who designs my own labels in photoshop and prints from home. I use online labels. My printer is an inkjet. The ink is expensive but I take that into account when pricing my products. I can't imagine having to order new labels every time I add a fragrance (which is often). Plus if I want to change them up, I just do it and I'm not really out money. I have several different products and it's just easier to do the labels myself.

Thanks all!! I guess I should know better that everyone here gets excited about this stuff.
The Best Friends is mainly pomegranate and then some other berries mixed with vanilla
I use a mix of eco soya waxes.
I design the labels in photoshop and then use online labels.com to print them out here at home.

It's good to hear that the graininess doesn't bother you. It does rub right in and I love the stuff.
I'll maybe experiment, like you said, with the ez to see. I don't want to change my recipe too much since it took a bit to get it the way I want. Minus the graininess of course.
-
I haven't tried ButterEZ. Maybe I will look into it.
The funny thing is that right after I posted this I got a raving review on Etsy about how my body butter is the best they've ever used so I'm definitely not changing it. I have received many great reviews on it. I'm glad to hear that you like it too. I like it a lot too, I just worry about the graininess sometimes.
-
Love them!! Such a fun soap!

My body butter is mostly shea butter. I LOVE it. I don't mind the graininess too much and I haven't had anyone really complain about it. I had one customer who messaged me to ask me about it. I told her that it was the finicky Shea butter that caused it and that it rubs right into the skin.
I'm wondering though if I should try something else and just redo my whole body butter recipe. I'm dreading the though as it would mean a lot of work on my part to re design all my labels and test a whole new recipe again.
My last batch I had read to let it stay heated for 20 minutes but I can see that it will be grainy. Do you guys embrace the graininess or do you just not use Shea at all?? I really tried to stay away from Shea when making things but I read so many good things about it so I used it in my body butter.
This picture is it's prettiness before it goes grainy.

I have a sample of it from when they called it ginger fish or something. I have never put it in anything but oob it smells exactly like ginger ale. I have heard good things about it too.

Busy weekend for everyone!
I have lots of body butter and sugar scrubs, wax melts, and other things to make for orders. Busy here! I have some new things I've been wanting to do but haven't had the time or motivation to do it. I also need to get some supply orders in. Other than that a normal weekend. It's super nice here so hopefully I'll get some time outside. Sunday is church and zumba class.
