jaybyrd Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 Nice job! :highfive: I think my fav is the third - pretty swirls! I can empathize about the EO- all my CP that were flavored with only EO faded right out. I'm just unwilling to use the quantity needed to make it stick. S'all right - I use all those amazing FO's for CP and save my EO's for other stuff like bubbles & butters & bombs (oh my! ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meridith Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 I love them all. Great job. When working with orange EOs, if you use a little Litsea, it can help to anchor that orange to help it not fade as fast or much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thecandlespastore Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 Those look wonderful! I love that shade of pink too, what color is that is you do not mind me asking? I have been looking for that color! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted August 12, 2007 Author Share Posted August 12, 2007 The Yuzu was labcolors-I followed the formula for a much lighter color, blended for the light end-and that's how it came out. Using these made me a bit nervous, I followed the dilution instructions for the basic 12 TO THE LETTER-and the preservative is just sitting on the bottom of the bottles & not blending with the dye-like oil and water! Then when going to use them, it pours out faster than the dye, so I end up with a cup full of unmixed preservative instead of a dye blend. Shaking the bottle doesn't work. They're just taking up shelf space, eventually I will probably trash them. I like TKB glycerine based liquids much better, and used those for all other batches. Sucks-labcolors cost like $60 and I spent a whole evening diluting and bottling them, all for nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mystical_angel1219 Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 Those are fantastic! :highfive: Citrus EO is hard to anchor, as Meridith pointed out. You can add Litsea or Orange peel powder to try and give it something to "stick" to. I love Orange EO, too bad it fades so quickly. That pink soap is the BOMB!! Great work!
