  1. I'm already ordering and was curious about some of her newer oils , has anyone tried any

    of these that can say if they are true and good for lotion

    or I'd love any recommendations on any stand outs

    Let them eat cake tokyo Milk

    Strawberry white Cake

    Peeps

    Vanilla Sugar Waffle Cone

    Absolutely fabulous Cake

    Powdered Sugar

    Southern Style Vanilla

  2. 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

  3. 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

  4. 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

  5. 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

  6. 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

  7. 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

  8. 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

  9. 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

  10. 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

  11. 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

  12. 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

  13. 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
