GailC..as a concerning side note,.Sarah S posted or replied to a post just about every day....she has not been active since June 2020. I hope she is ok.

Someone correct me if I am wrong...but I am pretty sure that Frangrance Oil Finder website no longer exists. Candlemakers store has a Mediterranean Spa Type listed...check it out to see if the notes are what you are trying to match.

UGH!! If the exploding candle isn't enough to shake your head at....what about the name of the scent!!!

I thought this was so cool to watch....hope you enjoy! https://youtu.be/lzPi32pj7FI

i really like Plumberry Spice , Bonfire Bliss and Rustic Lodge. Winter Wonderland is the best seasonal scent for the winter holiday season IMO.

Oh that is so helpful! I have all the oils you mentioned except the sunflower. ....I will try jojoba for sure. Makes sense to add a bit more oil. Thank you, Tall Tayl, as always for your good, knowledgeable advice.

Well damn! It sounds like the combinations of these ingredients kind of work against each other. I need to do some serious research, for sure.

I bought this kit from WSP, followed the directions, and the lip balm looked great. The first time I used it on my lips it was nice and creamy. After that, each time I took the cap off the balm was quite dry. It took a good deal of warming up on my lips for it to become creamy again. I posted the recipe ingredients below...is there something I can add or remove from the list to help the balm stay creamy? Thanks! Recipe : • 0.85 oz. Mango Butter - Refined • 0.35 oz. Castor Oil • 0.35 oz. Sweet Almond Oil - Refined • 0.20 oz. Candelilla Wax • 0.20 oz. Beeswax - U

The scent notes really sound lovely!

Jeeze Louise....a visual sure explains everything we have all been experiencing. As frustrating as it is to see those photos, I do not expect I will be rushing to my mailbox anymore. Patience will have to be the key at this point. Thanks for posting in such detail, TallTayl

I understand the busy season along with Covid has contributed to the overload of packages. What I do not understand, especially with so many people able and willing and needing a job, is why not hire the extra and much needed help?

IGI 4786 is a container wax...not used for melts. A better choice with IGI waxes would be 4625. You can add the fragrance safely at 180 degrees.

I am sure you did everything right to try to ensure timely delivery . I can see your frustration knowing once you ship the packages it is out of your control. Your work ethics and caring about each and every customer should help you sleep at night. Merry Christmas!

I mailed two packages on Wednesday of last week, priority 2 day mail. The one from here ( Maryland) got to Seattle destination today. The one to New York is still in Washington DC facility! And I am still waiting on a FEDEX pkg to get here....says it has been on the truck for delivery since Dec 2. And a USPS pkg just dropped off the tracking radar! UGH!

The Candlemakers Store has Autumn Leaves as well . I never used it though.

Excellent tip!

Kfintoni....I can send you a sample tart to melt it you would like. You can get a better sense if it is in wax, IMO. PM me your address.

Good news for those looking. Candles and Supplies has them back in stock!

Belinda...I would be happy to send you an ounce. PM me with your info..

I am in love with Millcreek’s Fireside Musk. Fireside Musk 203 Curl up by the fire with this blend of warm sandalwood, patchouli, vanilla and light musk that form the base for mid notes of violet and, jasmine and mingle with light citrus top notes. Also, Oak Barrel Cider from RE is a great Fall scent. Very warm and cozy.

Agree Franu1. And for hobbyists like me....their shipping was ridiculous for minimal items. Hopefully that will change under WSP shipping policies.

Thank you Anain007.
