KJohnson Posted February 25, 2006 Posted February 25, 2006 I made this CP about 5 weeks ago....the first picture is the day i cut the soap....the second picture is about 5 weeks curing....and yesterday I sliced the bars in half to give away as samples.....what a pretty surprise..too bad it wont stay that way...Sooo just so ya'll know Best Friends will discolor..but it still smells great.

Kaybee23 Posted February 25, 2006 Posted February 25, 2006 I am guessing it will finish turning a light brown and that's not so bad. Bet it smells really nice. Quote
KJohnson Posted February 25, 2006 Author Posted February 25, 2006 yes I am sure it will...I cut all the bars 1inch....then these are the 1inch bars sliced in half.... the whole outside is brown. But I dont mind it and some people like it. Quote
Michi Posted February 25, 2006 Posted February 25, 2006 Does this scent have vanilla in it? For some reason when I hear the name "best friends" I'm thinking more along the lines of a floral or perfumey scent for some reason. I like it no matter the discoloration. Quote
KJohnson Posted February 25, 2006 Author Posted February 25, 2006 yes it does have vanilla in it...and berries...My son thinks it smells like strawberries and bananas Quote
dcroome2005 Posted February 25, 2006 Posted February 25, 2006 I love it thoughBest Friends is my favorite FO .. I havent had a problem with it discoloring in MP though.. Must be a CP thing??Christina Quote
heirloomoriginals Posted February 25, 2006 Posted February 25, 2006 Very nice. Too bad it won't stay that color, but the brown looks sort of nice.Steph Quote
jenniejr Posted February 25, 2006 Posted February 25, 2006 Looks really cool w/ the border! Very nice. I don't think it'll look too bad being brownish. Quote
cindym Posted February 25, 2006 Posted February 25, 2006 I have no problem selling vanilla soaps that are brown, or the OMH when i browns either actually they are best sellers. Nice job Quote

Must be a CP thing??ChristinaIf it turns the CP brown, there is a very good chance it'll turn the MP brown eventually as well. I had Pink Sugar turn some MP a lovely shade of dark tan once, and it took it about a month or two before it turned. Only time will tell. Quote
dcroome2005 Posted February 25, 2006 Posted February 25, 2006 Hmmmm I will watch it.. That sucks because I love Best FriendsChristina Quote

I had Pink Sugar turn some MP a lovely shade of dark tan once, and it took it about a month or two before it turned. Only time will tell.Yup..just one more reason to be sure you test everything before you begin to sell it. Sometimes the change in color is pretty gradual, and it can be several weeks before you realize it's ugly ugly brown. How embarrasing would it be if you had sold it in it's pretty state to someone only to have that happen? lol...probably not a repeat buyer. If it happened to me I'd freak heheheh! Anyway, my point was to reiterate Grumpy's point lol..MP is no exception, sometimes it just takes a bit longer. Quote
dcroome2005 Posted February 25, 2006 Posted February 25, 2006 I totally agree.. That is why I am watching all this and not doing anything until we move.. I am watching them, put dates and all info on all the stuff I have been making. :-)Christina Quote
