When I add black to red I always get a marvelous black cherry color, but a terrible cinnamon color. To do cinnamon (or fireplace or any other scent like that) I add BROWN- NOT BLACK!!! So try a bit of brown instead!-Kristi And try dropping a drip onto a white plate to test the color. By the time the wax is ready to pour, the drip is hardened and you can see your final color. I LOVE this tip!

I just used this in a bunch of containers (used a case worth)... I really like it- it's smooth and creamy and does throw really well. So far in my testing, I'm loving it with NG's Butter Brickle, Blueberry Muffin, and Black Cherry bomb. Oh, and Cranberry Spice and Ginger Bergamot (aka Daddy's deodorant in my house). Those are my scents that seem to be much stronger than others- I have a BUNCH left to test too though! I went ahead and poured about 55 different fragrances (for the fun of it!!!) so they could cure for a good long time before I get to them. I just got into this because I was spending way too much on disappointing candles. This time I just used the same money I would have spent over a year and bought the stuff to make them- no one told me how much fun it would be and how addicting it is though!!!!I got a case about 2 weeks ago and that batch is a fresh one (mixed end of september I think) so any issues they may have had with it seem to have been worked out already.Have fun!!! :-)-Kristi

I've got NG's Hot Buttered Rum burning right now in Joywax- doing a great job throwing out the powder room door and down the hallway to the kitchen! -Kristi

I think NG's Jack Frost is a buttermint. I haven't used it, but others have...-Kristicandle newbie and already an addict!
