google "oil cleansing method" i have dry skin, so i like a blend of 25% castor(draws out impurities in skin) and 75% olive oil. then i tweak it with a few eo's that are good for my skin type. there are other great oils to use for this...but this is what i use.
-
are these the kind you are talking about? i get them from BCN
-
wax is basically like a solid oil, i'm not sure why you would think it wouldn't blend.

FCO & Cyclo. Does it HAVE to be FCO? %ages too...
Laura replied to LaVida's topic in Bath, Body & Cosmetics
cyclo is not water soluble, so it would just seperate...FCO gets a lot of recommendations because it is fast absorbing and closely resembles the cyclo in "feel", and it doesn't weigh down the oil when spritzed through the sprayer. rice bran oil works well too. -
.5 oz or roughly 1 TBSP per pound of M&P base.
-
i would dilute it a bit in a couple tablespoons of carrier oil. it can be any oil, but i would pick a "light" oil to prevent any slip in the tub. otherwise the small amount used would be diluted enough in the bath water as long as it's mixed into the water well...

Damn woman!!!!!!!! it looks real!!!!! you are the cp queen!

sorry, i just had to giggle at the thought of a "tart forum" lol...no insult to wax tarts mind you...but the other meaning,lol
-
heartfelt's warm gingerbread! and while there, get a sample of their rocky mountain pine! i think it's the best pine out there... WYW has a great buttery Gingerbread too
-
my guess on the first ones is after filling the mold, drip liquid dye down the side and the heat of the wax will circulate the dye around. a cold water bath would stop the spreading of the dye on the surface edges since it would solidify them right away.

their shopping cart estimates UPS rates, you would need a quote for postal...like in England. even then it's an estimate, cuz they won't know the exact until the order is packed and weighed..but i'd e-mail or call before making up my mind...
-
i agree with the others on the wicks being too small or requiring a 3rd. that will be a lot of wasted wax and your wicks will probably eventually drown out. cute container and you're getting there!

-

What fragrance are you all pouring today?
Laura replied to Lace's topic in Vegetable Wax & Beeswax Candle Making
BNL - Eucalyptus Spearmint BCN - Brown Sugar Nutmeg BCN - Butter Rum All Spice -
perhaps they poured in a bit of higher mp metallic wax, tilted it a few times; then filled with a solid color...
-
candlesupply.com carries one that has an alarm you can set for dropping or raising temps...this one is my fav.
-
BCS has a wonderful one...i tried KY's which is good, but it's more centered on a tart lemon. BCS version is more rounded out so i pick up on all the notes...very yummy!
-
i tried a bar each in the mango and the shea bases and thought they were very nice...
-
.28 in a 2 oz sprayer is plenty strong for me!
-
