  1. I couldn't get the second page to come up either! I had to post a comment, then when it posted on the second page I was able to see it. Not sure what that is about. I was wondering about the balsam and citrus. It sounded interesting.
  2. I ordered their Tuscan Lace FO, Sea Island Grapefruit FO, and Amber Blush FO and they were all good. I only used them in body products, except for the Tuscan Lace. I used it in body products and candles (6006 wax) it it had a GREAT throw. THe one that didn't work well is is their dream angels halo FO. It smells nice but just didn't mix well with body products. I am going to take what remaining oil I have and make candles with it and see if it works better with that.
  3. I have had an issue with lonestar before... I placed an order and it said that my credit card information was not valid.I did it again and I got the same message. I went in and re did it and it went through. The next day I checked my account and it had billed me three times! I called and they corrected it, but boy was it an inconvenience. I wouldn't say "beware" of them, but if you have an issues with placing an order, don't resend it! Just call and have customer service assist you. That's what I do now and I don't have any isues
  4. It was elements bath and body. I originally didn't want to post the name, but your right. The point of this forum is for all of us to learn from each others experiences.
  5. I really don't like it when companies decide to pick and chose which reviews they would like to post. I recently bought four fragrance oils from a company, and after using each one, I went and posted a review for all of them. Three out of the four oils were great. The last one, while it smelled good, it didn't mix well with any base that I added it to. (bodywash, bodyspray, lotion, etc) So when I wrote my reviews I said exactly that. I went today and looked, and low and behold only THREE of my FOUR reviews are posted. I don't think that this is right. I think that people should be able to read honest opinions and take from them what they will. It makes me angry because a while back I ordered a body spray from this place, (which had all good reviews), only to have it get to me and have this AWFUL smell to it that no amount of FO could cover up. When I called them and asked, they said that it was a chemical and chemicals have a smell. I wondered was I the first to complain since it has such wonderful reviews. Now I know why! Any bad reviews and they don't post them!
  6. Okay this is soo off subject, but something just dawned on me, does melted wax have the same weight as solid wax? I weight out 16 ounces of solid wax to make my candles. When I ready your post about 16 oz of melted wax, I wondered was it the same? P.S I'm not sure about lonestar's FO, but someone else I know said they were not too good. I personally have never used them. Candle Science has nice oils. A lot of people also really, really like Peaks FO, but I have yet to try them. They are next on my list.
  7. Hahahahaha! I Should do this my husband just for the hell of it
  8. ..."And once DH got a drop of chocolate chip cookie FO on his shirt. Drove him nuts all day looking for the cookies until he figured it out." Hahahaha.... I should do this to my husband just for the hell of it
  9. I'm not sure if the one WSP (wholsesalesuppliesplus) is paraben-free or not, but I like it a lot. It does however get watery. But they sell something called a bubble thickener, which will thicken it right back up. NDA (newdirectionsaromatics) sells a bubble bath base that I know a few people used a shower gel. It stays very thick after adding FO's, but I prefer to use a shower gel base for shower gel. I guess I'm crazy like that :rolleyes2 HTH
  10. Someone else said that they received that email as well, but your right, obviously that hasn't happened. SMH. Oh well I guess I will just have to try another one. I really wanted to try them, because they have some of the best prices for FO that I found
  11. Does anyone have any idea when Alabaster will get a new supply of oil? Or does anyone know what is going on with them? I found them a couple of months back when I was researching different fragrance companies, and their prices were really good. They have decent reviews, but I check the site regularly, and they STILL do not have a lot of their oils in stock. I called (a while back) and the person on the phone told me that they had an order in and they should be there soon... Not sure if they got them and sold out, but they still don't have the one's that I wanted to sample. I also posted this under the general candle forum, so hopefully I will get some good answers.

  13. OMG! These are so beautiful. You should do a tutorial for us newbies... lol *wishful thinking* No but really those are outstanding
  14. If you don't mind me asking, how do you get your glassglo to be so pearly and shiny? This has to be one of the most beautiful one's i've ever seen.
  15. Have you ever thought of trying to cut some costs? Like canceling your domain and getting a facebook account? I know a lot of people are going that route. Also cut down what products you offer. Keep only your best selling items. And possible reach out to your customers (or potential customers) and ask them what products would they prefer you to carry. Don't go out without a fight!
