I thought I had an emergency stash of really old energy hidden away, but don't. A few customers and friends LOVE the old energy and are heartbroken to not have their favorite scent in soap & stuff any more.

 

Anyone out there have the Energy Pre-reformulation from about 3+ years ago?  The newer one is not even close to the original.

Idk if it helps, but the closest I found was at BeScented.com.  Of course, I make bath and body products, but it was alot closer than the WSP one.  IMHO 🙂

This scent went by the wayside I guess.  It's a big seller for me and I went to restock to find it gone.  I think it was a Moonworks dupe? Any chance you ladies

recall seeing it anywhere else? TYIA

I see her posting on Facebook. I am not sure what is going on sometimes her internet is down?

She just notified me, she's had some issues and I am so grateful to hear from her!!  Thank you Barbara!!

Merry New Year! I was wondering if anyone had ordered from Daystar lately? I have not been able to reach her, and ended up cancelling Xmas orders.  I've never had this before

and it worries me.  I've tried the VM, Facebook IM, emails, texts, everything but a courier pigeon.  Her TAT said 5-7 days 3 weeks ago.  Maybe she went away for the holidays? TIA

I still have a full 1 oz, probably not enough to help you-but you are surely welcome to it 🙂 Send me your address if you do

I have some really really old energy. I wonder if it’s worth having that one duped through either lebermuth or AFI?

 

ditto gingerfish. This one is spectacular and melts I can only imagine what it would smell like in a candle.

oooohhhhhhhh gingerfish………..:-o

I was so sad when I had to quit buying BB Energy, it was one of my long-time faves, but since they reformulated it - it didn't seem anywhere close to the old

scent.  IMO.  Can anyone tell me how Sleigh Ride compares after they reformulated it?  I use the FO for bath and body, so not concerned with throw or anything

like that. I can't afford to throw caution to the wind and order these days lol.  TIA.

I recently purchased the Greek Island Breeze type.  Can anyone tell me what fragrance is it a dupe/type of?  It smells so familiar, thought it might

be a detergent smell lol.  Really like it, but need help with a better scent description, theirs is kinda vague.  TY

I would be so happy to buy 2 lbs of the sweet amber, 1 tonic, 1 pink sugar,  1 provence, and either a Dragon Blood or Egyptian I will have to go back and sniff.  Thank you so much!

Put me down 2 lbs of Sweet Amber, 2 Tonic, 1 Pink Sugar, 1 Provence and 1 Dragon Blood - thank you!!

About Patchouli, I think it was Karen seeking, Moonworks used to have a patchouli that was better than Peak's by the opinion of several when Moonworks was in business. It was learned that Moonworks patchouli came from Lebermuth. The problem with this is that Leber is expensive for just a pound or two etc., and way more affordable for anyone ordering 25 pounds. We're still working down a large stock of patchouli or we'd be interested in contributing to a coop. 

Do you know if that is the same as the Patchouli Passion at Pure Fragrance Oils? I was looking for that one. TIA

Skin safe at what usage levels? I have seen some deemed "skin safe", with usage rates far, far below what people use in their products. 

I use under the 2.6% it says, for bath scrubs and body washes.  I don't have to use a lot because it's a strong fragrance.

I agree with Moonstar, CS Cranberry Marm is better IMO. I use that one also.

FYI, if anyone makes bath and body products like I do, FB is skin safe and CS isn't (candles only I think it was)

Birthday Cake - I use RE's KY version - Banana Nut bread : CS - Lavender - CS  - Lemon Pound Cake : CS I think CS will have something very similar to Black Canyon 

Fresh Brewed Coffee : Check ICS - I only like the "flavored" coffee like Vanilla Hazelnut I use WSP or CS - Whats Cookies for Santa like ???? I can't remember where 

I saw a cinnamon balsam, Ill let you know .

If anyone uses their Cranberry Apple Marmalade, I subbed it last year because of rising cost of shipping.  I get the one from Fragrance Buddy.  Smells the same to me.

Yes, thank you so much

Just wondering if anyone has found a good sub or even close 2nd for BB Energy they reformulated?  TIA

Are you setting your printer for those labels?  I know even my laser jet smudges if I forget to change the paper type before printing.  Ink jet do take a bit to dry on some paper types, but shouldn't smudge once they are dry. 

No I do not change the printer settings.  I found this on the 101,000th forum I was searching thru.  She said buy an Epson, the cartridges use Dura Bright Ultra Ink (which was the key factor as I recall) and buy the Waterproof matte labels (you can buy they sheets at a time which helps starting out).  I've never had a problem with running

or smudging labels since.  All I can tell you is it has worked for me since I found that post 8 years ago :-)

Hi everyone,

 

   I have a problem with my candle labels. They smudge easily. I can apply them very carefully to avoid the smudge, but I think it will be a problem on the consumer end. Has anyone else experienced this issue? Is there a way to solve it? I'm using gloss ink jet labels. If I can solve this issue I'll be ready to start selling. Thanks to anyone who can give me advice! 

I had the same problem with lotion and bath labels.  It does cost more, I purchase the Waterproof matte labels at Onlinelabels.com and bought an Epson

printer.  I found the info on a forum after Googling my fingers down to a nub lol.  The combination of both gives me labels that I can use on my scrub jars and

they don't leak ink into your tub water.  HTH

I have been using their Whipped Body Lotion, their A C E Lotion, both I liked very much and they sold very well.  I did not care for the Souffle

and it didn't test too well.  I moved back to the Midwest and didn't care for the shipping cost, but may reconsider.  I have a lot of customers asking for

the Whipped Lotion and ACE hand lotion, and I just noticed they have an Avocado Body Butter.  And a Goat Milk....hmmmm I must rethink this lol.

I love Cindy and staff, they have the most amazing customer service BTW.  :-)

I find them both light, little drag, easy to scent, non greasy forumlas HTH
