Mine from Cajun didn’t even last a week. I had To bite the bullet and purchase from Bitter Creek. I am Still playing with the ones from Plastic Pellets for fun. They soak up really quickly (even leather) and have even soaked up double my recipe once they dried but i haven’t baked the double recipe yet!

I ordered beads from Plastics also ,so far no complaints. The beads did absorb super fast & I to need to bake . I think I have finally found some good quality beads again .

I like this company ,super fast ship & great product .I will post the performance. I think the beads are going to work out just fine . I plan to order in bulk my next order.

This is AMAZING!!!!  I will definitely make a copy ,great scent blends .

❤️ You are very sweet, but I think I'm just going to take y'alls word for it and maybe order a bottle after I've finished up a couple of other similar scents.

 

The main ones I wanted not being part of the sale really dampened my enthusiasm for this, and I think I can resist.  There'll be a better sale come along. 

 

I know what you mean .This will be my first order ,if I decide to pay the High ship. I will definitely add a few pound bottles to make it worth paying the ship kwim. You are right thou,more sales will certainly follow .Let me know if you change your mind on the CR ,I have plenty & do not mind sending you some .

It is a wonderful scent 😉

Did you find out if it was select scents Kat?   I didn't see that.

 

Trappeur

Yes  once you go to the sample pack of 20 ,click the arrow in the drop down menu ,scents are listed below .I see not all  scents are included in the sale ,kinda frustrating ,as I had a list of the ones I wanted ,many are not on the list kwim.

I will definitely have to buy a few pound bottles to get the best deal ,due to the costly shipping. I have no clue what  scents to choose in pound size . I have never purchased from RE . I am definitely thinking about a pound of Dreamcatcher ,sounds so interesting .

Trapp do you have any good recommendations? The fresh Peach also may be a winner,I just don't know . I want to select 20 samples & 3 pounds that are not included in sale .lol.. I hope I am making scents here lol. So what's great Trapp?????Need some ideas here .Thank you so much 😉

Ugh.  I'm kinda striking out.  A lot of their scents apparently are not part of the sale.  London Fog, Paris Night's, Issey Myake, and that Children's Room I was so excited for are all excluded.

Darbla, I would be more than happy to send you a sample of Children's Room. I adore the scent & it is spot in to Loves Baby Soft . I was blessed to get some from a friend a while back. PM your address ,I can get this out to you promptly.

I do not have the others you are wanting ,they sound great thou .

I am wanting to order RE ,however not sure if I want another supplier , especially with the High shipping . Kinda spoiled with  flat rate shipping cost lol.

I do order from C Wic & the ship is high with them as well ,however I do order their wax & wait on discount ship codes when buying the oils I love .

Yes, all I had in my cart were the samples..  WAAAY too much. I may go back and see if it would be worth it if I order a couple pounds too.

I was thinking the same thing ,maybe order a few of the pounds bottles . I see only  select scents are in the sales event .

The others can be ordered separately .I will check ship to Tx & see what price I get .

Technically it is considering if it wasn't for the sale that same amount of oils would run you probably 50$+ before shipping was added. 

 

Another way to look at it is this 20$ for 20 oils +20$ for shipping equates to 2$ per ounce of oil.  That is a hell of a discount when there oils all run over 2$ an oz normally.  Basically it is like buying the oils at a slight discount with free shipping if you take into consideration the per oz cost including shipping charges.  My order came to less than 2.30$ an ounce with shipping included. 

 

I figured this math might help some people to understand it is not as bad as they really think it is.

Yes true enough ,guess I am used to the flat rate with other suppliers lol...

I do pay a higher price for ship with Candlewic ,however I buy wax when I order from them & wait for the discount shipping codes .

I have not calculated ship to Tx from RE as of yet ,will see what it comes out to this evening.

The other issue is I see some here are saying you can only get select scents ,will check my options now.

well I'm bummed!  Had 20 scents picked out, but shipping would be $19.21!  

So the 20 samples + the $19.21 ship is not coming out to much of a discount right .I am in Tx ,so would be high for me as well .

Are you kidding me near $20 for the samples only ? Wow that's way to much .I think I will pass on  this sale.

Yes,  it has already started and ends Sunday the 29th, as quantities last.

I wish JS oils would perform better in my paraffin blend .

I have tried many& seems I cannot get a strong throw with the oils .Idk why ,just one of those things I suppose .I like so many of her fragrances . The site is also awesome .

I ordered Jelly Donut this morning, and 10 other FOs. I'm using 6006 so I think it will work well for me.

Great !!!!!!

I don't think you will be disappointed ,smells so yummy ,spot on down to the Jelly filling & powdered sugar topping . I hope it works out for you . Let me know after you get it into the wax & tested .

I hope you the best on all the ones you ordered 😀

I am ordering more today.

I received a sample of their Apple Pie & love it ,so grabbing a pound for sure . Lol of course I will be adding to the list . 

On 7/20/2018 at 8:08 AM, GailC said:

 

Yes I did get the email, and I am going to try to stay strong and not order any more samples.  We shall see.

 

I placed an order with RE in June and bought some Pumpkin Spice Latte, also some more Caramel Cafe.  I made some Caramel Cafe candles a couple of days ago, and oh my, they smell wonderful.  I love both coffee scents.

 

I got 3 free samples with that order, so I am going to try to be content with those.   

 

 

Gail ,I know how you feel ,I am trying to stay away from this sale ,so very tempting thou.

I just know I will be adding another supplier ,if I order .

I am trying to De stash ATM,this sale is not helping matters . I have been peeking in on the oils the past few days .Dang I see soooo many I want to try . What a hard decision this is going to be .

What to do????? 😕

I wonder if they are doing this instead of the 35% off?

They've been doing so many flash sales recently, it make me suspicious that the bigger sales are a thing of the past.

I hope the 35 % still comes around , usually around Black Friday & New year's ,if I am remembering correctly . Let's hope so anyways 😉

3 hours ago, Darbla said:

I'm not ordering anything this time, but I certainly would if they did 35% off. 

Me too Darbla!!

I like the 35% sales .If I remember correctly the 35 is usually around Black Friday & the first of the New year.

I will keep a look out ,that's when I  purchase the more expensive oils like Vanilla bean Noel etc...kwim

I actually could use a few things this time, but man35% sure would have been better. 

 

Is business down for many many of these retailers? Seems like an unusual number and frequency of sales lately. 

I was thinking the same thing ,so many sales lately .

I love WSP oils OOB, but I've only found a few of them that throw well for me in 464.    Makes me sad, but probably for the best, b/c they are so spendy.

I use paraffin & have found when I get a good one ,it is Awesome &Great ,however have had some that just will not work in my wax blend .

I find this happens often with most any co. I have had many from Filmoore not do well in my wax .idk why it's just one of those things we have to encounter now & then . I usually try & donate the oils to another ,that may get good results with a different wax .😉

Hi Kat!  Yes I think I will just wait for the 35% off sale for WSP.  I absolutely want to try VBN, but have to be smart w/my money.  With 20% off it would be $29.21 plus Ohio tax per bottle of VBN.  With the 35% off on VBN it would be $25.32 plus tax which is a whole lot more appealing to my pockets.  😂  I wish I could try it first but it is what it is...  I have so many oils to destash that I just went through and realized I have double of!  Ugh!  Did you ever get any of the Cinnamon Graham Latte from lightmyfire?  I told her I appreciated her super generous offer but I couldn't take any of her oil.  After all.... you wanted it first.  😉

 

As for Rustic Escentuals.... Kat I think you will absolutely love their FO's girlfriend!!! I bought a 16 oz of Children's Room for the first time about 9 ISH months ago and completely fell in love with it.  Got down to my last 4 oz and ordered another bottle and gave the remainder to a friend & she is  also in love with it.  I just couldn't believe such a softer scent would throw so well.  That is one I thoroughly enjoy in my wax.  But some of my other favs are:

 

Barbershop 1920's- A very nice smelling clean/masculine scent.  Smells like my grandfather used to smell when he was finished shaving.  ❤ this one!!!

 

Strawberry-  I am actually impressed with this one.  At first I thought it would just be a whatever strawberry but I really like it.  One of my favorite Strawberries I have found this far.  

 

Issey Miyake- Hard to explain but to my nose I think this is such a sexy scent! It's a perfume that is clean and earthy at the same time.   I HIGHLY recommend this one!  Here are the notes: Base notes of Verbena, Tangerine, Cypress, and Yuzu Zest set the stage for a sexy middle of Coriander, Clary Sage, Geranium Bourbon, Blue Water Lily, Nutmeg, Saffron, with a memorable dry down of Ceylon Cinnamon Bark, Amber Tobacco, Vetiver, Sandalwood, and Musk. ❤❤❤

 

Cuban Tobacco- Just Yum-dilly-icous!  😜

 

Blackberry Scone- Heavy Blackberry with a bakery backnote.

 

Amish Quilt- very nice scent for Fall but some people want it all year!  

 

Coconut Cream Pie- ❤ their CCP

 

Baked Apple HI- best around 

 

Vanilla Lace- strongest dupe I've found 

 

Toasted Marshmallow-  Best creamy vanilla I have found

 

Lemon Curd- strong lemon that smells like a lemon head to my nose.

 

Bora Bora- Amazing year round fruity smell 

 

Christmas Cheer- very nice Christmas scent

 

Bamboo Sugarcane- super clean!!!

 

I have more for sure!  Is there anything in particular that you are looking for?  

 

Thank you so much for the detailed response on RE . I am not looking for any particular scents ,however I do favor fruity types . I love all things Peach as well. I have read such great reviews on RE oils ,thinking I cannot hardly go wrong with this Co.

A dear friend gave me a pound of Children's Room & yes it is a wonderful scent. I love the original Loves baby soft ,smells spot on too.

I have not received the Graham Latte ,as of yet . I think we can still order this one on the phone thru WSP. Gosh I have been meaning to call to find out . I will definitely do this tomorrow & let you know.

I will message lightmyfire & tell her to hold off on her kind offer to me also ,she may not be able to ever replace it .I don't want to take it from her either ,since it may be discontinued for good kwim.

Hey maybe we both can still get the oil ,if not I think we can find a good replacement.

She was a doll for offering . I need to pm her asap about not sending it .

I do not blame you for waiting on VBN until the 35% off sale comes around ,as this one is so expensive .I wish I had a bottle left ,I would send you some to try . I am out for now & same as you decided to wait a bit longer. I am grabbing a few at 20 off ,mostly some new scents I have been wanting . I noted down some of your recommendations ,Candy Crush for sure ,sounds terrific 😀

I love the Apple Pie & will be ordering a pound this week. This one is not very expensive & I got great results with it. I have a small list going in my cart this eve.

I will definitely have to decide on RE soon . I am debating if I really want to add another supplier .lol... Guess I could drop one & add another right ,never ends .The Strawberry is certainly going in my cart ,if I jump in on the sale . I do not think I would regret adding them as a supplier .See I am talking myself into this real quick 😉 I will let you know on the WSP Graham C latte. I have my grandkids this week & been soooo busy entertaining the 3 of them . I am tired already lol

Thank you bunches !😇

Oh good ... thanks you two for letting me know I've offered some inspiration!

 

I almost didn't post about it because when I made a few of these and took them to my local consignment gift shop, I ended up bringing them back home in January ... didn't sell for some reason!  Anyway, that was good news for me because I got to burn them myself! 

 

... I found another picture for you!

 

 

 

Darn I would have definitely purchased your candles ,so perfect for the holidays 😉

Trapp ,Your candles look awesome as Always.

I hope you get a good strong hot throw with this scent ,smells so delicious.

I get a really strong long lasting throw in melts  ,however I use a paraffin blend .

I love the perfect Mickey Mouse pool 😉

Thanks @katmeltswax I will be grabbing some VBN this go round for sure!!!  Then July 26-29th is the RE scent event.  Ugh!  These sales are constant lately!  Im almost tempted to wait until WSP's 35% off sale.  

WSP is having a 20% off sale this week. I believe it is the 24th- 25th. I do try & wait for the 35 % off for the more costly oils such as VBN .

Lol I have not purchased from RE & I know I am missing out on some great oils ,however I am trying my best not to add another supplier . The sale each year always temps me to grab the 20 samples . I know I will most likely find some I just cannot turn down kwim. .

I have a lb bottle of RE The Children's Room, a great friend sent this to me ,I adore this scent . I may go ahead & jump in on the sampler sale ,as I know I will definitely be ordering Children's room ,as soon as I run out . Lol see I have already talked myself into trying their oils. I see many I would love to try on their site .

Dream Weaver ,BD cake & so many more .

Your right too many sales lately ,darn it .

What are some of your favorites from RE ? 

Thanks Marleigha! 😀

Trapp , The one I like so we'll is Apple Pie ,however they do have a Hot Apple pie as well. 

Lol I am going to try this one on my next order .

Icannot stop smelling Apple Pie ,such a good performer in my wax .

Apple pie has been a difficult scent for me , finally have discovered the best one for my wax blend .I am super HAPPY with WSP AP 😉
