Kaybee23 Posted February 25, 2006 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJohnson Posted February 25, 2006 Author Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michi Posted February 25, 2006 Report Share 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.

heirloomoriginals Posted February 25, 2006 Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 Very nice. Too bad it won't stay that color, but the brown looks sort of nice.Steph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenniejr Posted February 25, 2006 Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 Looks really cool w/ the border! Very nice. I don't think it'll look too bad being brownish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cindym Posted February 25, 2006 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grumpy Girl Posted February 25, 2006 Report Share 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??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.

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcroome2005 Posted February 25, 2006 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
