Don't you love it when they come how you want them too.
They look great!
-
That marble looks fantastic! The others look good too
-
It sure can be fustrating. I made 3 yesterday 2 mottled great the other one only on the top I wrap them in foam like e then put in a box and let sit over night.
-
I use a single burner to heat up my repours or keep wax melted till I need to use it.
-
If it does clog I use my heat gun and melt the wax. But most of the time heat from the pot will open up the clog just fine.
-
Igi 1343 is a good wax to start with. Or if you don't want to add your own additives you can buy a pillar wax.
Welcome to the board

Well the heat hit me last week and I about died. I was dripping more sweat than wax I was pouring. Dh came home and said enough is enough and installed a window air condition in my candle room. Now I'm chilling!!!!!!
I love that man of mine!

Cierra does have a good one. But of course they were out when I ordered so I had to order from lonestar. I hope its as good.

Hem is dead on. They can be very fustrating. I sell at one 3 days a week and let me tell you.....they are so unpredictable....One day I'll make 20 bucks..the next I'll make 400. I sell alot of different stuff.
Votives - Biggest seller!! I sell these 6 for 5$ and make a killin.
Tarts/ Clamshells - People here still don't know what they are!
Jars - I have only tested 19 scents in jars and people always want the one I don't have.
Pillars in alot of different sizes - Sold some, not as much as I hoped
t-lights 2nd biggest seller.
floating candles. 3rd biggest seller. pretty much tied with t lights.
Candle holder/tart burners/ other candle related stuff. If it wasn't for this stuff I would have made rent last month.
bath & body. Almost completely out of my foot care line, lip balms and lotion bars. I have only sold 1 bar of cp soap.

I voted for tubes because I like them better. Easier to fill and carry around... But I sell more of the pots. Young girls seem to like those better.

Sorry it has taken me sooo long to get going on these reviews. Just been so darn busy I haven't even had the time to bathe....J/K
Macy Boutique. Halo Milk Bath. Love this scent and left my skin very soft and smooth. I forgot how much I love milk baths. Kids like this one too.
Carries. Bergamont Shea Butter. I think the AZ heat got to this one before I did. It wasn't whipped anymore. Great scent reminded me of lemon pudding. After forcing myself to put it on my body and not in my mouth I found that it went on smooth and isn't too oily. I woke the next morning with very soft arms and feet. I would love to have a bath tub filled with this so I can just sit in it!
Krystal Kreations. Chamomile-lavender soap Smell great. Great lather, Dh tried this one in the shower. Said it washed off rather well and he liked it. I have only used it on my hand and it seems like a very conditioning bar. Not drying at all.
Mountain Madness Shaving soap This was the first time I ever used a shaving soap. I have only ever used foams or creams. So this was a real treat. I LOVE it. I love the little moose on it. I tried so hard not use that side so it would'n wash the moose away. I got the sikiest shave ever and now am trying to get dh to test it. but he's not quite sure. I'll keep ya posted on whether he does.
KSBell's Foaming Sugar Scrub I think the smell is chocolate mint. which I love. It doesn't foam very much but the scrubbing action makes up for it big time. I used this on my face my feet my whom darn body and I love it!! Not so abrasive that it hurts but enough to do the job.

Yummy looking!
-
Dye gets stingy and gooey? Eeww. I never had that happen. But now I know what to do if it does happen.
-
Myself, I always thought lavender was darker than lilac. I personally don't think it would matter much, I don't think the shades are that far off to make a difference.
Same here. I make Lilac a very light lavender color. My Lavender FO...is a shade or two darker than that.
-
looks like a wick in there to me too. that is really strange. The soot amount is pretty scary looking.
I'm glad I'm not the only one seeing something in there.
Sorry about the pic quality.
-
They look great. I really like your packaging.
-
-
My autumn orange I have, is more of a pumpkin color, with a touch of brown.
So is mine. Brownish orange.
-
Your packaging looks great. So do soaps!
-
If your talking about a meat baller. I got mine at a kitchen store inside the mall. Think I paid 5.99 for it.
-
That is just too cute!! I love the apple core look!
-
I just use my left over wax. Or if I have requests I use pillar blend and dip them about 3-4 times.
-
Some bases like FBB and some lotions I put into ziip lick bags and then cut a hole in the corner and squezze the stuff into the jars. I use powells so the corners can be fussy. I knock it a few times on the counter to get it all level.
Not a candle question but related...kind of?
