  1. Thanks Puma ! I did order a sample of the Sea Kelp during RE sale - he he can't wait to get all of my choices ! I got the Salty Sea Air ?? too it had good reviews + remember someone on here said the Blue Skies was good too. The rest I ordered holiday + foodie type .
  2. Apparently there was an error on their end + the $9 was a mystery charge but I just had them add an extra FO instead of having them credit me.
  3. I did , I should receive them in the next few days - so Im really excited + I'll for sure review them OOB . Oh, and the mystery is solved about the extra $9 charge that I assumed was a service charge. It was a computer error - apparently it didn't calculate a FO that I took out of my cart. They were so friendly when I called. I also ordered some refined shea butter + lye - I like the refined for lotion bars .
  4. Same here - I don't have the room + not sure what the answer is about fragrance escaping.
  5. I would love to see that I don't think its rude either .. post away
  6. Santa whiskers is one that i didn't order - darn it ... I was trying to stay focused + stick to 20 lol !
  7. excellent point Goldie thank you ! going to try making one with a wide mouth - regular jars are to hard for me to wick in the center
  8. Try this link if it doesn't work just click on to the pic on the site with the advertisement + scroll down. I couldn't figure it out first either lol ! Let me know if it worked for you http://rusticescentuals.com/Pick-Your-Own-Fragrance-Oil-Sampler-Pack.html
  9. One question about the painted Mason jars - does the heat of the candle interfere with the painted finish, like chipping off or anything. You really should check into weddings - its a big business ! If you want to add something besides candles to wedding stuff thats super easy WSP has Large sealable teabags that you could do bath salts . Have you ever seen Wax Sachets - Im sure you'll find those on Pinterest or Google lol ! Sorry - I got carried away
  10. Will have to try the crackling firewood for wax melts - wonder how it compares to RE bonfire bliss ? Ive never heard of McCalls are they still around ? your blend sounds great - I wish I had some of Tennessee's brownie I prefer brownie scents , much richer I think . Let us know how it turns out
  11. SHUT UP !!!! OMG it is so, so pretty ! My goodness this is a talented bunch on here ! Do you do 1 oz pp ? Cant wait to get that FO from the sale going on . You should do smaller ones for wedding + shower favors - is there a local florist or bridal boutique near you - you should see if you could leave one there with your information. typically they use 4 oz jars as favors.
  12. I was thinking about this a few days ago. I think Im going to try blending one. I have RE samples from the 20 for $20 sale coming,plus I have some at home At home I have ICS Frosted - Grahams ICS Toasted Marshmallow - Fillmore Cocoa therapy Im just waiting for the Bonfire bliss + REs Toasted Marshmallow Ive heard its good so I'll have to wait + see how it compares to ICS . Im not that great at blending so Im kinda nervous lol ! Hopefully someone on here has tried one - sounds awesome !
  13. I would first try out Bulk Apothecary's sample to see if you like it - If you do end up ordering from the Lebermuth site, Id try to find some other FO's that you'd like and just make a smaller purchase - they charge a $20 fee for orders under $300. Personally I think Bulk Apothecary is too expensive for large scale candle making - IMO - so it might be worth it to go the other route as long as you get more FO than just patchouli . If not a patchouli lover so I cant recommend any others - maybe someone else will chime in. Maybe check Brambleberry or The Sage ????
  14. Oh my Kelly - just beautiful ! man Id love to hang out with you one afternoon lol ! the menthol crystals - how do you add that to the soap. It must be just a teeny bit , last time I smelled that stuff it nearly knocked me over lol ! Beautiful work - such a talent you are
  15. Yay Im glad I ordered it ! I think I picked some great ones. I wasn't sure about the new scents, I only picked a few one of them was Earl Grey + apple what are your faves from them. Very interesting on the roaster - Ive had to throw batches away before - so annoying Ill post by OOB first then as I test/make Ill post again. Thanks again for chiming in
  16. Interesting about the water bath method . What do you use now then ? I was thinking the same thing about adding a label Btw - that was one of the scents i chose in RE sale - how is it in the 464 wax ? can't wait to get my order :-
  17. bfroberts I completely forgot about ICS - yes, she does have some great bakery scents + strong too. Thanks for the reminder. I recently poured her lemon icebox cookie in a parasoy blend for melts. OOB I thought it was ok but once poured + cured it was great , a really nice lemon sugar cookie .
  18. Thanks OldGlory Wow - your display is so nice, such a great selection. I want to sell the aromatherapy lockets if I can find descent ones wholesale but Im nervous about buying from Aliba .... maybe I shouldn't be. thanks again for your help !
  19. thanks Belinda I think I might give that one a try. Just Scent's shipping is too high for just a few ounces of FO - otherwise Id try theirs for sure. When googling donut FO I saw a review for the Better Homes + Garden version of BBW cinnamon sugar donut - but they call theirs Corner Store Bakery It had a great review. I think I'll run up to Walmart and get one as a reference since Ive never tried BBW cinnamon sugar donut. Hopefully they'll have it .
  20. thanks I saw that but I passed on it since I didn't see any reviews I did pick some good FO's - or so Im hoping lol ! from the sale thats going on right now. hopefully someone on here has tried a good one
  21. Ive been asked to make a Donut scented candle /wax melts. Any good ones out there - I saw some on Just Scent but not sure about any of them. Do they actually smell like a donut or are they more of a birthday cake smell with cinnamon or pumpkin or a jam/jelly scent added to it ? I think they're looking for a BBW type ??? The same person asked for a snow scent ??? WTH - what does snow smell like ??? Oh geez - I don't even know where do begin this lol ! Any guidance or suggestions would be greatly appreciated
  22. I swear I learn SO much from these forums ! You guys are truly a wealth of information - thank you What do you mean by shaped melts and how are they packaged to retain their scent ? Do you think placed loosely in muslin/cotton bags would work or would they loose their scent to easily ? Im going to try to google shaped melts so I get get a visual . Btw ... how safe is ordering through Aliba, Im trying to find aromatherapy lockets. I recently saw some at a craft show, with a weaved/open design + a felt piece inside to infuse w/ EO - they sold very well . Its raining like crazy today TG - so its a perfect day to google LOL !
  23. Is the spelling correct on this ... tried to look it up with no luck You have me intrigued now - I truly had no idea that extra LG clamshells existed.
