bayougirl Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 Here's the Black Amber and Lavender batch I made last week. Boy, was it pretty! Loved the lavender color. But, alas, it faded to grey and dark grey!Bummed me out, at least it still smells great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kitn Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 It is gorgeous. From what I understand it is UV light that makes them fade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scented Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 Purples have a tendency to gray on me as well, so I've taken to using much more color. Blacks used to gray on me as well, but if I used more of the color, the black became more pronounced. So instead of using 1/4 tsp maybe 1/2 tsp worked better. Color is all trial and error, since the color of oils in your recipe as well as the color of the scent and the components of that oil can affect the outcome.

LovelyLathers Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 They are beautiful. I also have started to add more color to mine due to the fading. also I use the neons and pop colors which help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 I did forget to mention that you can add a little bit of blue to help the purple keep too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
