  1. I use a lot of them, and I had ordered the Struedel and Spice last month. OMG. I sold out of it fast. That is awesome.
  2. Wow, my 9oz goes 2 stories. It has been our top seller for 5 years. I sell it in cases to so many people. I had a store last week order 5 cases of it only. That is the one they run her out of. I use 1.5 in soy and you can't beat it. I am sorry it doesn't do that for you. Wow. It is also Starrville's top seller. I love Lone Stars too, but I don't sell very many of those. Everyone is different. Strange hugh:confused:
  3. I make my own orange sherbet with creme brulee, and it is a top seller. I am an orange freak too. I think you will be in heaven with all those new ones coming. You won't let them sit. You can mix them with all kinds of scents.
  4. thanks glitter, I will play with those. They sound wonderful. I hope I can match it. I guess I need to go back and get a piece of the wax. If I figure it out, I will let ya'll know.
  5. I want to try NGs since it is cheaper, but MCs is so good, I hate to take a chance. I don't know where they get pepper. It smells like orange to me.
  6. I smelled their vanilla suede and have no idea what it is. But it is good. If I could get close to it even. Anybody recognize it? TIA:confused:
  7. I have used it in the past. Don't know why I quit. But if it was really good, I wouldn't have quit. It had smell. BUT....I just got sweet milk from Lone Star with no scent either. NONE. I need to let them know. I almost forgot. Usually their stuff is pretty good.
  8. Sorry I hadn't got back to ya lately. You see the crackling thong business is really growing. I personally wear each pair, until the wax gets hard and sets up. So I can't sit much to type. I kinda stand up a lot. Don't tell anyone I wear them first. That might slow down the business some. Ok, got to get back to making thongs. We got them in chocolate too.
  9. I have done all that plus. Now I space mine out. I never pour red next to red. I always make sure the next color is different. Then I put my:yay: bottles in back of the candles, so I can remember what they are. And sometimes I write it on the paper towel under the candles. Most of my mess ups became new candle scents. Very seldom do I forget the scent. But that is not a good thing. lol Wrong colors suck too. I had green mulberries one time. Added a little Christmas tree scent and called it Christmas with Elvis. It is a huge hit today. Amazing hugh.
  10. OMG, the spiced gingerbread is to die for. But I couldn't sell it under that name. I changed it to Pralines, and can't keep it. I love the Nutmeg, it is a good blender for orange spice. Smells good alone, cozy home, apple pie seems dull to me, but they say smells great burning. Sandlewood is a big hit. Got to have Sweet Orange and Chili Pepper,that is an all the time staple. I use a lot of their scents, but those are the big sellers right now for me. Oh add some vanilla in the sandlewood, for vanilla sandlewood, awesome.
  11. I am allergic to soy milk, but I make a lot of soy candles with out problems. I also sell a lot more soy than I did parrifin. The people in our area really like the clean burn. I think I will stick with it.
  12. I am starting to have customers tell me they won't stay lite. Not drowned out, just won't lite. I have used these for 6 months now. I heard this a few times out of 1000s of candles, but now I am hearing it more. Anybody having this problem? I use 464/1.5oz per lbs. 9oz jar, Eco 10's. I think I want to try another wick but am afraid to in the middle of the season. Got any suggestions. TIA.
  13. I hate very vanilla. It doesn't smell like vanilla to me. I must be weird. I don't sell much of it either. What I do like is BCS Vanilla Extract. I love it, my customers request it. It is the closest to real vanilla that I have found.
  14. I do some of those listed and I also make Merry Kissmas, Reindeer Poo, Redneck Christmas, Redneck Christmas Tree, Christmas with Elvis. Which are all big hits every year. Just a thought.
  15. I love peppermint, especially with KYs creme brulee. It smells just like buttermints. Yum.
  16. I never did like the plain one. It didn't sell for me. I smell a funny smell in it. I got the new one in a sample, and I still smell the funny smell. Maybe just me, but I didn't sell much either. I hope you have better luck.
  17. I found that their scents did better in soy then in parrifin. I think they test in soy. Some of my top sellers are from Millcreek. And they come alive after the cure in soy. Their Spicy gingerbread is awesome. I have to change the name to Pralines. But I can't keep it. Yum.
  18. I have used then for years. I found a lot of great ones, and some duds. I love and sell the April Fresh Downy like crazy. You have to look under April Fresh. Their sugar cookie is the best around. Plumeria, Baby Powder, Black Linen and Amber, Fresh Linen, Pumpkin Crunch Cake, Hillbilly Homebrew, Love Spell, brown sugar and fig, amber romance, leather, lick me all over, butt naked, mango papaya, pink sugar, vanilla pear,coco lime verbana, fruit slices, clean cotton, black cherry bomb, childrens room, blueberry muffin, drakkar, raspberry, hummingbird, patchouli, pomegranite. These are all wonderful in soy, and parrifin. Hope this helps my Texas friend.
  19. Millcreeks is the closes I have found. I add a little vanilla to make it even better.
  20. Tenn Candle Supply has it. I believe it is strong in soy. I never poured it soy myself.
  21. Steppin Out, White Flash, Silver Slipper, Be My Babe', Got It All, Sexy Lady, Diva in Pink, Its All About Me, Going Platinum, Top Chic, Stand Back, Diamond Princess, maybe this will give you some ideas. I just make them up.
  22. Kys and Starrvilles is the same. They are also the best. Much better than Wix. They ran out of Starrvilles one year and I used Wix. I never got a repeat order or had anyone say that one was better. I did have a lot of them tell me they wanted the original back. It is so much better. Wix carried the Debs Gourmet Creme Brulee at one time. That was mine. It is the same, if you tried it. You will love it.
  23. Hey Texas Candle Factory, I just realized who I was replying to. You up and running again? I come down once a month. If you really get going and want to save the shipping from Starrville, I can pick them up for you. I am there every week. Hope you are doing well. deb:yay:
  24. I go to Starrville every week. So I know their oils. They have so many good ones. What kind of wax do you use? Their creme brulee is the best. It sells 5 times more than any other creme brulee I have gotten. Christmas Tradition, Pumpkin Bread, Brown Sugar and Fig, Cranberry Crush, Sunflower, Moonlight Path, Coolwater, Tuscan Gardens is the same as Tylers Diva. These are really good in soy. I use all their regular scents, like strawberry, pomerganite, Mexican vanilla, mulberry, muscadine wine is awesome. They have good strong scents. If you have some picked out that you want to know about you can send me a message. I can help. I don't know about the shipping. So I won't attempt that.
