justajesuschick Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 My first (little) bottle of this FO was light to medium colored and mixed nicely into my wax. I ordered a larger bottle and the oil is VERY dark. Harder to mix in and I am uncomfortable with the melts that I made with it as the bottoms of the melts look a bit darker than I prefer. With my naked melts (no dye/color) I can always see if I had any mixing issues. I tested one and it did not leave a residue in the dish but still a different experience than the test batches I made with a smaller bottle. Is your NG Vanilla Bean FO nearly maple syrup colored when you pour it from the bottle?Appreciate hearing form you if you use this.Thanks!!

Belinda Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 I use NG's Vanilla bean and haven't noticed it being dark but it's been awhile since I poured it. I have noticed several oils will have a dark residue in the bottom of my glass cup that I pour with, even when I know the temp is plenty hot for it to mix with the wax. Not sure why that happens. Heavy I guess? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuzyK Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 I just checked mine because I didn't remember what color it is. Mine is probably more of a honey color. You made me open mine and that stuff smells so so good. Now I want to make something with Vanilla Bean. lol.I have had a couple of my fragrances go a little darker but they haven't affected my melts in any way.

justajesuschick Posted September 14, 2013 Author Share Posted September 14, 2013 Thanks, girls! My bottle is brand new. It is super dark and kind of a pinkish-orange. My melts look a lighter version of that color. I may remake that batch today or tomorrow and use even less FO than I did with this last batch (which was already less than what I typically use). If I cannot use this I will be okay becasue it smells SO much like Mrs. Claus Cookies to me and that blends in perfectly in my wax blend.Thanks again!
