Soooo beautiful!

Well guys... I used half of the ‘light’ recommendation According to the brambleberry calc (since it wasn’t actually one of their fragrances) and it still smells good and plenty and not too much!! Of course the final test is once it’s cut/cured but I’m thinking it’s gonna be fine!! Less is more...

ive tried using the plumeria FO before and it came out too strong for my liking. I used the brambleberry calc that time and I had to ditch the batch. Anyone have any experience or opinions on how I might be more pleased with the outcome? I guess I’ll go light on the fragrance this time. It’s a...

not the color... It's the scent I'm concerned about... the vanilla color stabilizer that I have been adding in CP only to find out I'm not supposed to use it for CP!.. I'm wondering if that's the reason the scent (vanilla) is fading and if its carrying other scents along with it. I think I...

Oh I've done CP and had great and fun success. About 10 batches. Love everything about it! Just thought I would try HP Cause I thought I would get something special out of the opportunity to pour and swirl and have brighter colors. But I'll take muted colors anyway compared to risking wasting...

Thanks once again awesome people! Love your advice and words of encouragement as usual! I want to ask again since it's the one question that seemed to be over looked from my original (long winded) post... does vanilla fade? I'm using vanilla cybilla from brambleberry and not sure if it's...

Yes this is what I was trying. Hot process FLUID. More like HP CHUNKY STYLE. I'm a failure!! Thanks for your response, I feel like this is what I attempted but ....:headbanging:

Thanks for all your replies!! You guys are always more than helpful and as much as I tell myself that I'll not get discouraged and I'll use each "failure"'or mishap as a chance to learn... unfortunately I have had 3 mishaps in a row now and all have involved liquid discounts. Today I tried to...

Thank you! This is awesome feedback. People keep recommending lard but I have yet to find it or palm oil in the grocery stores or the wholesale club where I shop?! I'm totally open to that. Maybe I'm just looking in the wrong places. Same with castor oil, I got a small bottle from brambleberry...

Hi all you smart people! I've had a few things on my mind after dealing with some major and minor soap making annoyances lately! I'm pretty sure I just got too excited about things and tried to catapault into realms I had no business even creeping into just yet but I'm trying to tell myself...

Awww thanks so much, Millie! How great to get some feedback! I'll say it again! I love this forum!! I couldn't see why mixing a CP batch with a HP Rebatch wouldn't work! I'm pretty glad I tried it too! Would definitely hate to see all that soap go to waste! I have to admit the pink is pretty :)

Nope, no issues. No migraines. Just overwhelming almond scent! I've used lavender, peppermint, orange 10x, lemongrass, lemonaide cocktail, vanilla etc all at full strength and I have LOVED them all. Guess it's an experience thing, learn what seems right as you go! Full strength vanilla might...

Yeah.... I don't pretend to know one way or another if they are "fraudulent" or not but if the scent is (nauseatingly) too strong for me, made my skin itch and feel funny AND I cant find information readily available on their products then I would just prefer to err on the side of caution and...

You know, I thoroughly agree with everything you have just said. maybe I will give away the rest of the scents. As I said I did email them and was assured its ok for skin care products... but somehow I don't really feel reassured? basically because the scent is so very strong.. It doesn't feel...

THANK YOU!!! you were exactly right. its turning out AWESOME! yay !!! ;-)
