Fun! I use all the ones I got but mostly I use the neons. They are just so bright and fun to play with!

Hi, yeah the last batch I did I used cream of tartar and I don't know what I did but it was gritty and rock hard. I would have to look back at the recipe that I tried. I am going to keep testing. Next I do want to try the recipe above and add in cream of tartar to see what it does.

pretty... i am trying to get up the nerve to do candles. I've speant so much already on my soaping addiction.

Hi... how was the vanilla from this company? I am in search of a really good one.

I made a batch last night that was baking soda, SLSA, kaolin clay and corn starch. I am at work but I believe the proportions were 1 c of both soda and SLSA and 1/4 c. of Clay and starch. Mixed with FO and glycerin till it is like play dough. In the past my mixtures felt almost gritty. or it would harden up to a brick and not bubble well. This one was nice and smooth and I am hoping this comes out well. It bubbled well last night but i totally have to cure it. it was getting firm this morning but still had a bit of a soft touch to it. I used pink sugar FO and colored it pink. It is now pink with brown spots, but I expected that cause of the pink sugar. is there a rule of thumb for the FO? like with CP it is 1%

I was going to order the daystar but they were really expensive. It is a treat for just him so I could justify it, but I wanted to check with you all. I will probably order it and also try the NG also. I seriously have like 100 fragrances at this point and he loooooooves the Lush one. :\

Hi, Just wondering if anyone has a suggestion for a dup of Lush's "honey i washed the kids" my BF loves it and I wanted to make him a home made batch of this for Christmas. Thanks!

I use soapers choice aka columbus foods for all my bulk oils. I never have any issues and product is always great.

very nice! i hope it doesn't brown too much on you.

got my confirmation that it is coming.

never used them so they might be great! Scented would know.

Oh and the prices have gone up since the pre-buy.

I got 50 lbs. Has anyone received anything from them? I ordered a week ago and have yet to hear anything from them.

What is in it???? what ever it is is creepy and i love it!

I got a few of the 2 oz color kits. I got --> Neon Color Kit, Harvest Color Kit and The Brilliants Kit. I have used proably every color I love them. http://celestialcolors.com/category_4/2oz-Color-Kits.php

very nice!

Very nice! I need to try the spooning next

Will do! I do scented with loofa inbeds with the melt and pour mostly. Very good seller. i will also do a few fun shapes... snow flakes etc..

Oh and you are not charging enough!!! 1 dollar an oz at least! take into account your time and if you are goign to to packaging that cost $$ also.

hi... I agree with all that has been stated. I have only done one farmers market, but for several weeks in a row. Just get out there and see what happens. To get yourself started for labels and stuff you can get easy to print stuff at staples if that is what you want to do. I told lots of friends and family that I was going to be at the market. But I did not try and sell to them directly. As for work I work in IT and none of the men are interested in my product so I didn't even bother.. LOL Of those people I told that wanted to come and check me out did and did purchase product. The bulk of my sales were from strangers. The best sale I had was when a woman purchased one item and then came back and got 50 dollars worth of stuff the next week. So flattering! Your doing the right thing by setting a goal. Don't hesitate on signing up for one early spring. It makes you get organized and work on labels, packaging and having stock product. GOOD LUCK!!

i ordered 50lbs today... i hope they get the supply in the next couple of weeks. I need time to get stuff ready for Dec. shows.

These are great!

now you have to make another one to show! i like the one you have posted btw.. I bet it will look really pretty melting.

very nice!

Very nice!
