soapermom Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 I have bought from them, I am in Charlotte on regualr basis so I buy instore.some of it is ok, I don't use bases. I didn't like their MP. Fo's I tried were good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin29 Posted September 20, 2006 Author Share Posted September 20, 2006 I am new to all this, so I thought I would try a base to start with. I do plan on branching out and making my own some day (shower gel,lotion, and body spray).MP= Melt and pour soap, right? I did not realize they sold M&P soap.I hope to make it over there sometime this week. They are less than 5 miles away and I just can't seem to make it over there. :undecided Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin29 Posted September 20, 2006 Author Share Posted September 20, 2006 Oh, and I see that you are from SC. Are you anywhere near the chemesrty store? Do you know if they allow people to come in for pick ups or to browse? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luci Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 The Chemistry Store allows for local pickup if you place your order online or by phone at least 24 hrs. in advance. They are over in Cayce in a warehouse section. There is no storefront to browse. However, they sure are nice folks there. You don't have to pay the service fee or whatever that fee is if you pick up your order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin29 Posted September 20, 2006 Author Share Posted September 20, 2006 Thanks, Luci.I had hope that I could go in and sniff test the fragrance oils before I buy any. That was my reason for wanting to go up there one day. It is a two hour, one way, trip so unless I would be able to sniff test I don't think it would be worth the trip out there. I'll just have to fly by the seat of my pants, heh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngelaVA Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 I'm from Charlotte and usually pick up wax from CCS when I go back to visit. I've tried quite a few of their FOs. For me, they are hit and miss. Some that work really well are Clean Cotton, Tangerine Dreams, Patchouli, Pearberry, Raspberry Peach Cobbler and Southern Jasmine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Candybee Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 I have tried FOs from their sister shop in WV. They sell the same supplies. Can't say I liked any of the FOs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimberly Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 Carolina Candles has great Fo's. My main supplier is TriSTate Candle and they are owned by the same people. Get the Creme Brulee...you will not be dissapointed.I like their Fo's mainly because I have yet to find one that did not throw in my wax. Everyone you talk to here will have a different opinion...you just have to try them and see what works for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soapermom Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 they have great sampler deals, grab bags, so its not a huge waste $$ trying them out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin29 Posted September 22, 2006 Author Share Posted September 22, 2006 Soapermom: I did not know the Chemestry store was in Sc till I saw someone here post about it. I just wish I could go in and take a sniff of their EO's/FO's before I buy. I am too far to go up there just for a pick up. I went to CCS yesterday and got a sampler deal. I have not used any yet, but I do plan on going back today for more. I am going to get into so much trouble with them being so close!To everyone else, thanks for the scent suggestions.
