Oh wow, I started off with the intention of staying all natural as far as colorants and fragrances, but fell victim to the siren song of FOs a little while back. Now I've bought colorants (Select Shades, love them!) and I'm hooked. I still plan to do plenty of soap with no added colorants, as some of the uncolored ones have a beauty all of their own, but this batch was pure fun.
The FO is Daystar's Paradise, which smells just like Mountain Dew to me. In keeping with the fragrance, I went for bright on the colors, and wow did the Select Shades deliver. They haven't been cleaned up or had the edges neatened yet, this is right after brushing on the UM/mica mix on top and cutting, but:
I'm really pleased with the way the swirl came out, the two colors aren't all that different, so it's a neat effect, imo. Can't wait for this one to cure so it can go play in the shower with me!
