Birthday Cake - who has the best fragrance?
Moonstar replied to Nikki's topic in Fragrance Discussion
Thanks so much moonshine and lisajo... i greatly appreciate your response can't wait to try it -
dandytea88... I know I have seen the same base once but i can't remember the name What I do remember is that they were located in Ohio I know they are the same because the ingredients were identical as well as the name . Do a quick google search for body butter bases. If I find it I'll let you know How do you like the bases you received, do they have a drag. I find many bases have that drag when rubbed in, i don't care for that. although the goat milk + honey lotion base for WSP is pretty nice.

464 WHEN TO ADD FO?
Moonstar replied to thelittleflame's topic in Vegetable Wax & Beeswax Candle Making
I also asked Candle Science that same question - they told me to add at about 180 so the wax will bind. She said the temp of the wax will drop when you add 1 oz or so of FO. -
Back2basics I agree ... Im new to the forum + candles and can't get over how wonderful everyone is.
-
OMG - precious ! do you make cold process, Ive been sticking to melt n pour, my cold process soap... well, didn't turn out so well lol ! It really is a science. Im going to try again though, Im determined. I just ordered samples of micas from mad oils - how are they ? have you tried the FO either for soap or candles ? BTW ... the colors you used are spectacular !
-
First off, thank you to all who have posted about favorite suppliers + FO's ! I've never ordered from Filmore before and was so pleasantly surprised ! The packaging was superb - glass amber bottles that were bubble wrapped + packed with lots of peanuts + shipped within 1 day The iced lemon biscotti is fantastic, smells like a delicious lemon sugar cookie + the daffodil is so fresh ... I typically don't like heavy florals but this OOB is lovely Next time I think I'll try the Christmas tree - citrus spruce - mulberry bush - cocoa therapy - nutmeg ginger - coconut have any of you tried these ? Well, thanks again !

Birthday Cake - who has the best fragrance?
Moonstar replied to Nikki's topic in Fragrance Discussion
Trappeur I know this is an old post but they have 2 birthday cakes - which one are you speaking of ? Id love to try it how does it compare to others you've tried ? Thanks -
Just curios, if using 4794 for melts do you or should you be adding an additive such as vybar. If so, why ?
-
Moonshine may I ask why you didn't like the PB alone ? Im only asking because Im new to all this + I'm trying to learn This is such an amazing site, I just love all the support you all give each other Do you have a blend that you think throws really well. What I don't like about paraffin wax is that super waxy look, the soy looks so pretty but it doesn't make for the best wax melts
-
wowza !!!what a great job + such a awesome tutorial ! That was very kind of you - i know that took time to post all of that Im pretty new to candle + tart making + I have to admit, it's addicting lol ! I have both the IGI 4794 + IGI 4625 - do you recommend using both @ 50/50 or will the 4794 alone do? If you don't mind a dumb question lol ! how do you know what scents to blend + at what amounts? Im still in the learning stages so Im not very good at blending Also does the 50/50 blend melt easily? Thank you in advance
-
Candybee I think you'll love the blood orange , its so darn good
-
Great List + choices ! I really LOVED the blood orange too - smells amazing ! Has anyone tried it in wax tarts ? The apples were amazing too but the Mcintosh is my favorite - so crisp and realistic they probable have some of the best FO's I've smelled - so true and realistic. I love the grapefruit mangosteen but get a HT The garden mint smells EXACTLY the the mint i grow but when its crushed.

Hello everyone ! I'm new to Craftserver and Im hoping to get some help from you pros out there I've been experimenting with waxes and have had hit + miss results as well as FO's .I just purchased a 10 pound slab - Peak IGI 4794 is this a good wax for HT ? What do you folks recommend to add to it, if anything and also what temps do you typically add FO at ? Id so greatly appreciate any advise you can give me as Im fairly new. Thank you in advance
