No need to hold back the oohs and aaahs when you gaze upon the sultry Tempest. A deep, dark and lustrous purple, sleek and sexy with a side of mystery.

Iridescent and smoky, the purple-on-purple shine will make your head spin. Tempest is a knockout. You will love it.

Tempest Dark Purple

Although I was looking for this to be a deep purple,it turned like gray. Actually to my surprise I liked it. I made wax melts and added a little biodegradable glitter they turned out beautiful. Will and have bought again.

I love Tempest!

Tempest is such a delicious, rich dark purple! I am going to try a variety of CP recipies and see if I can't get it to be purple (this may be a pipe dream :)). In the meantime this baby is definitely going into lip balm!

It turned gray

I loved this product, but when I mixed it with melt and pour it turned gray, it might be that I wasn’t using the right amount but it was a great product none the same.

Hi Averi, I see you only purchased a sample, which is filled with a teaspoon of product. I am not sure how large your batch was, but did you use the recommended amount? Tempest is absolutely gorgeous in clear Melt +Pour soaps. Can I ask if your soap was white, or contained animal milk? Can you tell me what fragrance oil (FO) you used? Many FOs contain vanillan (or some say vanilla) and that will effect colors immensely. Please reach out to jo(at)madmicas(dot)com. She can help this color work for you! :)
