beau's mama Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 :yay: I've been toying w/ the idea of making lotion for a whole year, the whole sterile environment/preservative thing just made me nervous. Even came up w/ a recipe that I knew would be great for me, but still didn't do it. Well, I got a hair up my butt today & went for it.I used Fusion Magic / Fantasy Creme Maker along w/ my recipe. It's just a tad thicker than I wanted my lotion to be but I think I'm going to enjoy playing w/ the recipe. I'll play around with lotion-making w/ regular e-wax next week to see which one I like better.Thanks for looking!Daaaayum! I made lotion ya'll!ETA: I told a CT'er that I had been thinking of making lotion for a whole year & she replied:"But have you been trying to make lotion for a year? it's kinda sad if you have and still no lotion...lol but somehow I don't think you've really been focusing on it or you would be turning out expert gallons:D "She was right, so THANK YOU for calling me on it! You & that hair up my butt made me crank it out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beau's mama Posted December 11, 2007 Author Share Posted December 11, 2007 Looks super. How did you like working with the FM? Easy, huh?Yeah, it was easy. Being a virgin I didn't really know what to expect, & it started to thicken in a matter of seconds I don't know if that's what happens making lotion the regular way, but I'll find out soon.Coco, be careful. You know how this B&B stuff is...ADDICTIVE! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jami Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 Great job!!! I LOVE the fusion. I have used it for several months. I have never had any problems with it breaking down. I have a jar of my first batch and it is still as creamy as the day I made it. I LOVE how my skin feels after using my recipe with this.It is definitely addicting so WATCH OUT:pYou will have a new "up do" hair style for a longgggg time now lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dana Mae Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 This is so encouraging. I really want to make a body butter/cream/heavy lotion and right now that is the ONLY thing I want to make (other than my soap and candles, lol) but I have been totally overwhelmed by all the steps and products and such.Your creation looks delish!!Bravodana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beau's mama Posted December 18, 2007 Author Share Posted December 18, 2007 Just an update for those interested.It's been a week now, no seperation yet. I left my throw around bottle in the car during the snowstorm. It didn't freeze, but it was VERY cold & VERY VERY thick! I let it get room temp & it went right back to normal. Seems the scent got stronger in that bottle for some reason :undecided Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
