"A Solid Matte Black"

COMMENTS: I've always used a powder for black, but wanted to give the liquid black a try. Overall, I liked it a lot. Many of my M&P soaps use black or grey. This liquid was a good choice, but I did notice that it does separate. Since I had a sampler bottle, it was hard to give it a proper shaking. Once some liquid was out and there was room, I shook the heck out of it. That produced a nice, flat black.

COMMENTS: My concern when I was purchasing this product is that it did not describe the container it would come in. IT came in great handy dropper bottles. Had I known that I would have purchased more colors. I will buy more and a larger variety of colors.

	"Horrible!"
COMMENTS: First I am putting same review for the Matte Lavender as well as I the same bad results. The sample bottle is Horrible! It comes separated pigment to liquid base, which is probably why it doesnt take in my Water based product I tried to color... it just sinks to the bottom even after stirring, heating, any method I have tried. Will Not buy again and glad I only lost money on samples.

COMMENTS: I love the liquid pigments, but I have a hard time getting this color to give me a black in melt and pour. I have a hard time getting it to even mix in well. I am trying other colorants to see if I can find a solution. I might have to go with the activated charcoal to get the black black I want for my soaps. All in all..I do love the liquid pigments!

	"A TRUE TRUE BLACK!"
COMMENTS: I love this colorant! It mixes so well with my M & P and gives a true deep black which is hard to get with many colorants. I have gone from mixing mica powder with RA or Glycerin to using this. No clumps of color and mixing, mixing mixing hoping you get the mica all stirred in.

	"Bath Fizzers- Grey"
COMMENTS: I use this in bath fizzers and of course the base is white powders so you cant really expect to get black but can achieve a dark grey. You must be careful on how much you put into a single product though. Even though it mixes in water i found out after bathing with a tester bath bomb, if there is too much black it clings to hair. My arms looked like dark, hairy man legs! It was decently easy to wash up on my body but something to watch out for in amounts. It did leave residue on tub but i just reduced the pigment in future recipes.

	"OK, but I prefer the color bar"
COMMENTS: I've been using the matte and sparkle black color bars for years, which are truly fantastic for m&p. I decided to try the liquid, just to see if it would be even more convenient, but I didn't find that to be the case. It's fine... I just prefer the color bars. Here's why: the color settles to the bottom, so it requires vigorous shaking before each use. The color is subtle -- not nearly as concentrated (as far as I can tell) as the color bars. This means you have to add a lot to achieve a deep, opaque black, and adding that much liquid can throw off the balance of the soap, IMO. And lastly: the lids are good, but they do occasionally leak. I really appreciate that WSP offers so many choices, great customer service, and such an user-friendly website, but as for black color, I'll stick with my solid color bars :)

	"Crafters Choice™ Matte Black Liquid Pigment"
COMMENTS: I always had trouble getting black soaps to come out black. They would always come out grey unless you add a ton of the color bar. And I didn't like that considering you don't have to use much of the other color bars to get your desired colors. Then I used a sample of this. It only took a couple drops. I will ALWAYS use this for my black MP soap now!

"Will use primarily in making gray soaps"

"This needs to be in a squeeze bottle"

COMMENTS: I was surprised when this pigment came to find that it was in a jar with a screw-on lid instead of a squeeze bottle like the other liquid dyes I had ordered before. Fortunately I had an eye dropper available or I would have been hard-pressed to use it. Having this in a jar does not seem to be the best idea. The color worked great in clear melt and pour soap though :)
