I've found the Sirius mix, tea tree/lavender or cajeput/lavender, to
work nicely. It gives me reliable dark brown stains anywhere -- even
on my hubby's upper arm, which never stained before.

I haven't quite gotten the deep reds, chocolates, burgundies as
described in the "Secret" diaries...but I attribute that to climate
difference. It's been a cool summer here in San Diego -- never more
than 85F, and often dipping into the 50;s at night. Also, it hasn't
rained since early May, and the average humidity is very low. I
remember the gonzo stains I got in Texas where the average summer
temperature doesn't drop below 90F 24hours a day for months at a
time. And I know the midwest is miserable in the summer -- hot and
humid during the day, and hot and humid at night.

However, I'm really happy with my terp mixes...I like knowing that
they always work, and that I can reliably do armbands. So, the
darkest color so far has been milk chocolate -- it's a consistent
milk chocolate that stays milk chocolate until it disappears.
