Yes thats about right 4 to 1. For B&B items I do eo only but for tarts I add in patchouli and orange fo to make sure I get good throw
but it still has the eo's in it. Blood Orange and Patchouli together is supposed to be an aphrodisiac or love potion LOL serious though
Its wonderful in bath salts.
-
Have you happened to try that recipe? Curious how it is.
Would love is I could make it myself but scared to order everything to try it not knowing what its like.

I like Pinemeadows, never tried aztec though sounds interesting

I blend ICS original Cinnamon buns with Vanilla Bean Noel and to me it smells really good
You may try that just adding some vanilla bean noel, I usually use the Tennessee Version but any would work.
It tones down the heavy cinnamon and gives it that sweet vanilla caramel smell
To me it smells alot like philosophy Cinabunn type
For Apricot NG Fresh Apricot is really good
For Bazooka WSP is awesome, I've heard Just Scent Bazooka was also good but haven't tried it
Lilly of the Valley is great at MMS
-
Berts had the best peanut butter crunch but i don't think she has it anymore it smelled so good
-
Have you tried OT's Version?
I have read somewhere that certain people can't smell some musks
I could be one because I don't smell much with SC's version
but I ventured out to try OT's after reading others say that SC's was not as good as OT's
and when i got it I couldn't believe how good it was they were right.
It smells like the little vials of egyptian musk I've smelled at stores like whole foods and the like
While I smell more of a fresh scent with SC's like you said more clean
so i guess it depends on which kind you want really
-
There are 2 I know of Aquatech has one and MoonGlow also
-
Kentucky has some of my best throwing oils, I haven't tried anything yet that wasn't really strong in my tarts
Toasted Marshmallow is a must have I blend it with all kinds of stuff. I love it burning
Birthday Cake also a must have
Creme Brulee this is so much like starville Creme Brulee I can't tell the difference, its strong
Southern Vanilla smells alot like Peaks Vanilla Passion to me, its really nice
Sugar Cookie I really like the smell of this version but I also like peaks
summer breeze blow your nose hairs strong
Country Gift Shop another super strong one
Zuchinni Bread
Pink Sugar Cookie Very nice I usually do my own blend but this is worth getting I think
-
I got a scrub in the halloween swap in Bite me and It was really great, like an amped up Tropical Punch with a fizzy cherry note
I love it, planning to order some soon.
Personal faves from NG
Candy Apple
Orange Sherbert
Fruit loops
honey vanilla love dust

For Egyptian Musk the Sc version is not near as good as Oregon Trails Egyptian Musk
infact I hate the SC version its definately not the Worlds best as they say
Oregon Trails version smells like the egyptian musk in stores, while SC version I'm not sure what its supposed to be it doesn't smell good to me
Iv'e used OT's Egyptian Musk in Tarts (nice throw) & B&B it is a beautiful scent
Honestly Sc has the worst Egyptian Musk, Natures Garden Egyptian musk is better
but OT's is the best I promise you.
Sanguigno Orange Patchouli is very good but I do my own blend of Real Patchouli EO, Patchouli Dreams from Candle Cocoon, and Blood Orange EO , sometimes I may also add some orange fragrance oil also.
and I like it better personally
Hope this helps

It sounds really interesting! Last day of the sale is today just got a newsletter
-
Island Nectar really sounds good
I wish they would have a sale now
-
Maybe they are trying to do better, I hope so
thats good to hear

This is the ingredients for the WSP Bath Whip:
Glycerin, Water, Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate, Sorbitol, Propylene glycol, Disodium Lauryl sulfosuccinate, Stearic Acid, Sodium Chloride, Diazolidinyl Urea (and) Iodopropynyl Butylcarbamate, Tetrasodium EDTA.

They are unreliable, you may or may not get your order
they tend to send a slip for a missing item and then it may take you months to get it
if you get it.
But I did like the funnel cakes they used to have it was a pretty good oil
but not all are good many are weak oils
Brighter Scents, Creative Illuminations, and Midwest Candle co ( I think thats the new name they just changed it) are all one in the same
same location same everything
-
Oh I wrote Jody to ask if she knew if the bath whip was nice and creamy but I haven't heard back.. I may take a chance and order a bit from her.. I can't pull the trigger on $50.00 Wont do it
-
Yes the chemistry store type is no good at all, your totally right thewickedwick
The only place i know of is Jody's, I've ordered from her before and the lids were not right they were off
like a bad batch and the bottles were not clean but I did get what I ordered.
But the lids were so off I could not use them they left a gap when screwed on
So I'm worried
Even from WSP sometimes I get a really good batch of the bath whip but I got a few bad batches that were hard and i couldn't get a nice fluffy bath whip with
the hard batch i got. They said to melt it I tried that it didn't work.
So my worry is the batch at jodys could be the hard stuff
I can't believe it went from $33 to $50 thats really a big jump I'm so angry
I may have to stop selling them I mean really
-
Thanks for the great reviews.. I hear you EccoLights I'm just as angry as you are, I was just shocked at the increase in the price of the bath whip I use, it went from 30 something to 50, my mouth hit the floor
I'm pissed to but unfortunately there are few things i have to get from them and it makes me really mad
Thanks everyone
-
Has Anyone tried the WSP version? I'm curious is its a better version for lotions
more accurate duplication maybe.
-
You can use an image as a background. If you have an image of a color just set as background
But normally you do have to make the box but instead of stretching the box you can select format and then background and then set as background
Then it will fill the entire label space for you
Hope this helps

I'm so curious about these bases I've been wanting to try
Can anyone compare the Shea Body Cream to Aquatechs
tyring to get an idea how they are.
I notice they use some organic shea in them so i'm worried about the base having a scent
and not taking fragrance well.
Would love to hear any more reviews
-
Did you find the scent throw just as good in say para-soy wax tarts
I didn't think NG would have good throw but I need this oil for B&B so I need it now
This sounds good Thanks Sharon, My sister actually preferred the smell OOB better on the Mrs Claus Cookies than the Wendy's Tenn version or the Daystar version
but i never tested the Mrs. Claus just had a small amount
Anyone tried the WSP version for B&B curious if all the rave reviews are true or not
I hate buying 2 oz to try its so $ now at WSP its crazy
Thanks so much Sharon
I'm most likely going to go get a lb of the NG for sure
-
Trying to find a FBB Base that is soft like this one, I've tried many that are really like butter not creamy at all.
Jodys soap and creations has the same base anyone ordered it from her price is far better
but I'm scared of what I will get
Or maybe there is a good soft and creamy one out there I'm not aware of
I just can't pay $55.0 for what was more like $33.00 not long ago
My mouth dropped to the floor I'd have to really increase my prices to pay that much
I'm getting so frustrated with WSP
They used to be a favorite one stop shopping, I'm willing to pay a bit more for one stop
but now I look at the FO's and I could throw up they are more costly than TSW
but no where near the quality.
Sorry I felt a need to rant
feeling better now LOL
-
I normally use Tennessee version but they are out of stock right now
I know this is the best for wax I think
But I also use it for lotions and thinking of getting NG Mrs Claus Cookies
I've tried this before and it was good
or WSP Vanilla Bean Noel ( never tried so I don't know how good this one is)
anyone tried both and could compare strength and which they prefer
Also which is stronger for para-soy
Thanks for any advice
