Brenda Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 Made a couple of soaps yesterday. Nothing fancy, but tried a couple of NG scents I've been wanting to soap.Here's what happened to the lovely emerald green mica when I swirled the top of Watercress & Aloe with it:Smells good though; a nice clean, "green" smelling scent and look how nice and white this FO leaves the soap (2 tsp TD in 126 oz. of oils).NG Lemon Sugar (mixed with a third part lemon EO):Looks better in person. It has a slight shimmer to the surface from the mica I put in, but you can't see it in the photo. The jury's still out on the scent. I'm hoping it mellows a bit while curing. I like the way it left my hands smelling, but not the scent as I sniffed the bar. Seemed a little too artificial even with the EO I included. :undecided Here's an application of the Very Coral mica combined with the Hot Pink mica from the coop. Doesn't leave much color on the lips, but does leave a shimmer! I also used the Metallic Pearl Honey Tan in a caramel balm - it's nice as well. This was fun to experiment with - a lot of color from a tiny amount of mica.Maybe I can make some Emerald Green St. Patrick's Day mint lip balm? I'm going to use that pretty green mica somehow!

ladysj Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 Those are very nice. I love the color & swirls of the first one even though it wasnt the color you were wanting. It's beautiful!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherie Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 Brenda, your bars are gorgeous!!!!! The green almost looks piney or "army" green. I like the color. I ordered some of the micas as well but haven't started testing them. I'm diggin that "lip smoother!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest EMercier Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 Nice! I really like the one with the swirls! Brenda, you always make good looking soap though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaybee23 Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 Nice job on the soaps Brenda. If you are looking for a good lemon, the Lemonheads from Serendipity Scents is nice, smells like the candy. I have some Lemon A Peel on the way from OT that I am going to try as well. I know what you mean about the artificial lemon smel, have been through a lot of lemons to find a decent one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
