KatieB Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 I did a search and there isn't too much talk on here about Alabaster's FO's. I've never ordered from them, but I've been looking at their website and their FO prices are really decent.Any rec's for good strong throwers I should try? I use soy wax for containers and a para-soy blend for melts and pillars. I'm mostly wondering about their Vanilla Grapefruit and Wild Oats & Honey. Anybody try those?TIA! :highfive: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tammy1048 Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 One of my biggest sellers is Kudzu and their Brown Sugar & Fig from them...I am not a fan of the Brown Sugar one though my I have customers that love it.....I also love their Pink(Type), and their Sunflowers..smells like the perfume....and love their Love spell, and they also have an awesome Blueberry Pie and Blueberry cheesecake.

Brenda (OH) Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 I just placed my first order with Alabaster today so I am glad to see this post. I got a few 1 oz samples to try, mainly VS dupes but also the Vanilla Grapefruit and Birthday Cake. I wish I knew they would send free samples :undecided I ordered 7 to test for quality before ordering larger quantites. Oh well, I still can't wait to get them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snapdragon2 Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 I second the Brown Sugar & Fig. OOB it smelled really light to me and I wasn't even sure I'd pour it. Someone suggested that I give it a try and it actually has an amazing throw. I was very surprised. I use J223 and have also found Sweet Cotton and Mulled Cider to be very strong.

Meredith_D Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 Try looking over at TSR. Joe the "administrator" seems to know a lot about their oils. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marilyna Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 I use a lot of their FO's in CP soap. I've had great luck with them. Even the ones that are super cheap!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justcountry Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 So glad I found this thread kudzu is one of my best sellers if i have it burning in my shop I sell them like hotcakes but someone ordered it for me and haven't been able to find at a reasonable price we split a bottle from mm and it was great is alabasters great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jami Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 My one and only experience with Alabaster was short of a nightmare but in the midst if their 4 screw ups on one order, I will say the Jamaica Me Crazy smells good. I don't know how their vanilla velour is because it's what I ordered and got Jamaica Me Crazy instead. I KNOW they sound alot alike and I can totally understand how they got confused though :lipsrsealI am glad everyone else has had a good experience with them though.Jamip.s. I have kudzu from ICS and its FABULOUS!!! I am surprised I don't see more talk about this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
