cindym Posted January 17, 2006 Posted January 17, 2006 Colored or uncolored? I of course want to go with uncolored for that natural idea. What has been everyone's experience. Thanks In Advance Cindy Quote
Bunny Posted January 18, 2006 Posted January 18, 2006 Colored! Check out mms's lip balm colorants, they are simply awesome!!! Quote
Spellkast Posted January 18, 2006 Posted January 18, 2006 I can't bring myself to color mine- just doesn't seem right to make blue or purple lip balm! Just me, though! And I like the natural color- PLUS the customers can't see that they're not colored, so it doesn't affect their purchase. It also makes it easier on me...one less step to be concerned with! Quote
Luvcandletarts2 Posted January 18, 2006 Posted January 18, 2006 I prefer uncolored. What does color matter, unless you are making lipstick. I agree .... 1 less step is always better. Quote
candleslh Posted January 18, 2006 Posted January 18, 2006 I prefer uncolored. What does color matter, unless you are making lipstick. I agree .... 1 less step is always better.I feel the same way... Quote
sudsnwicks Posted January 18, 2006 Posted January 18, 2006 I like natural stuff ... so uncolored for me. Quote
hawaiiansun Posted January 18, 2006 Posted January 18, 2006 I like natural stuff ... so uncolored for me. Ditto this. I've just started making lip balms and all of mine are uncolored. Maybe when I get more creative I'll try some colors. Quote
maryann Posted January 18, 2006 Posted January 18, 2006 I don't color mine either, I agree it goes along with the natural ingredients that are used, PLUS I use white tubes so you can only see the tops. I only colored my balms once as an experiment w/ Chocolate Devil's Food Cake, I use cocoa powder to color the balm- it turned out nice. Quote
Carrie Posted January 18, 2006 Posted January 18, 2006 I like to color mine, not that I make tons of them.Tonight I tried a new recipe and made Tangerine in a nice light orange color.I made Huckleberry in a nice shade of pink because I didn't have any lip safe purple.I made natural color lemon flavor.I made cafe latte and infused it with ground coffee then filtered out the coffee. It made it a nice shade of brown. As I only make a few at a time right now, coloring is fun. If I were making 100's at a time I might think again. I think as long as the color doesn't show on your lips, people find it fun to use. Quote
mystical_angel1219 Posted January 18, 2006 Posted January 18, 2006 I would prefer colorless- I wear lipstick with mine. Quote
KatieinRI Posted January 18, 2006 Posted January 18, 2006 I got some lip colorant from Micheals. It came with 2 colors a reddish pink and a minty green color. I have only used the red so far for my cherry lipbalm. Since I don't usually were lipstick, it is nice since it has a small tint to it. Normally I usually live it uncolored. Quote
RobinInOR Posted January 18, 2006 Posted January 18, 2006 Uncolored for me. My label is full color and covers the whole tube anyway. Quote
edensong Posted January 18, 2006 Posted January 18, 2006 I prefer uncolored for lip balms. For lip gloss, coloring would be all right. Quote
singleyellowrose Posted January 18, 2006 Posted January 18, 2006 uncolored natural works for me. I use translucent tubes as well. Quote
