  1. I've read good reviews for the gingerbread as being not so spicy and good for B&B so I think the Gingerbread Man will be the more spicy one hope this helps
  2. Beach type is good if not the best angel type is a good version flowerbomb is not good All the philosophy dupes are better at the scentworks Decandent chocolate is good hope this helps some
  3. I just saw this I do like these alot very classy warmers. I'm liking the illumination warmers but I am thinking maybe the ceramic dish also. Which type do you find are most popular with customers? Thanks
  4. My Tarts have become very popular and I am considering selling the warmers. Which do you find are the most popular the combo warmers, plug ins, electric or tea light? I personally like tea light but that may not be everyone. If I do get electric I want to make sure they have enough wattage etc. And curious the best places for wholesale pricing, I've looked at JD Wholesale they are the only ones I find with good pricing, but they are a bit boring looking.
  5. WSP Dirt smells just like dirt, I ordered it to try but no one wants to buy this scent LOL:confused:
  6. Yes I just went and ordered the OOey Gooeey Caramel I've had it before and was hoping to find an alternative but decided I had to have it. Caramel Dip does sound good though.
  7. Oh does it smell like chocolate it didn't say it had chocolate in it. good to know I didn't want chocolate. Does the Caramel dip smell strongly of Apple it says only a little anyone know?
  8. Wow Great Ideas those sound awesome:cheesy2: sounds like tea would be a great way for me to use up some of my seldom used citrus and floral f.o's And hopefully create some nice blends:) Are you using the Scent Works Black Tea, does it have a good throw in parasoy do you know? With all the raves I imagine it does.
  9. Has anyone tried this oil? I've searched but can't find any reviews or mention of this oil. I want a good foody caramel and it sounds nice but can't imagine how it smells. I heard Caramel Dip was awesome but I don't need apple just yummy foody caramel
  10. Thanks everyone for all the great recs I will try some of these out and definately will try red tea and Iced Kenon Black Tea. I'm liking the idea of blending my own.
  11. Does anyone know how to reach her. I purchased a label design but have heard nothing, now I see the site is gone. Its was only $30.00 or so but still
  12. I personally don't understand tea scents not my cup of tea, no pun intended. So I dont' know where to start. I usually avoid anything with tea in the name. But many of my customers are requesting tea blends. Looking for strong throw in para-soy as well as some for B&B What are some great Tea Blends, aka fruity teas, floral tea or even plain teas etc I have read Iced Kenon Black Tea was good to blend with has anyone tried that with success, say could you make Raspberry Tea with it??
  13. Thanks for all the help everyone. Sharon I think I will try toning it down with a sugar cookie that just may work, I too drool over this scent its one of my favorite to pour. Oh please do give us those reviews of AR/RE gingerbread
  14. Yes I know I could use the honey gingerbread but I was thinking a less spicy type of gingerbread something like Philosophy Gingerbread man would be nicer on the body.
  15. Anyone care to share what they use, I love BW Honey Gingerbread but think it may be too spicy for lotion.
  16. I ordered the creme brulee and it is strong. This creme brulee smells very simular to kY Creme Brulee No chocolate of carmelized notes to it while I find both Candlescience and Peaks Creme Brulee to have a yummy carmelized note to them but the throw is better with Starville It depends on what type creme brulee you like, I like to mix the starville with Peaks or CS to get the carmelized goodness I like with the strong throw. I also ordered the Mexican Vanilla and it too was strong so I suspect many of the oils are super strong wish they had a sampler!! Hope this helps
  17. Thanks so much So the Buttercream is still great, I already have DS Buttercream Frosting but I'm always looking for that perfect one. I was smelling yankee buttercream and cupcake scents and I was drooling. trying to find something simular. I will definately try the ones mentioned here
  18. Placing my first order to try the Buttercream, is it still good I think I read somewhere it might have changed? I'm also considering Coco Mango Burnin love cinnamon is this a red hot cinnamon or bark like? Butterscotch Ripple Butterscotch Brulee Moon Pie Sugar Cooke is this different from Peaks? Also considering Marshmallow Ambrosia Candy Corn Vanilla Cream - has anyone tried this one? Thanks for any recs
  19. I wanted to update my opinions on the Primera. Well now that I've figured this thing out I could not live without it. I love it the colors are so vibrant and I've just discovered I can order extreme waterproof labels. I need these for bath items. I was scared to even try the round labels for a long time but once I did it really wasn't that bad. Once you figure out the crazy alignment system they have and make notes of the alignment for each label size this thing is just awesome.
  20. Oh I'm sorry I didn't know you were in Italy. go ahead and use the food coloring it will work, add until you get the color you want . Your not putting water in the bath bombs are you, hope not Just add the color drops and knead it into the mixture, once you have the color you want, then just over fill your mold and then push it close wiping of the excess. I personally don't use witch hazel but I do rub oil into my molds to make the bomb release easily.
  21. You could but the colors wont' be very vibrant and also the water in the reg food color may cause a bit of a reaction. I have used these before and it does work but the color is not vibrant I would go to walmart and get some wilton's icing colors these gel colors work really good they come in singles or in boxes of basic colors Just use a toothpick to grab the color and put it in a little at a time until you get the color you want These are my prefered colors over anything good luck
  22. I have used Avery DesignPro for years it works great and its free just do a search for avery
  23. Here is the link https://www.soapandthings.com/
  24. I'm looking to replace the goatmilk and honey cream base from WSP and I noticed that Jody's had a base by the same name. I wonder if it is the same thing? Anyone know:confused: I'm so angry about this new shipping fiasco I have to find alternatives Candles Supplies has the same body mist incase anyone needs to find that.
  25. I use Bayousome and SKS, I too am going to stop using WSP for my bottles and Jars. Bayousome is really great to work with one of my favorites and will get more of my business now.
