roady Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 Just wanted to share my figuring on Bert's prices. My average cost per ounce WITH shipping was 84 cents per ounce. Ummmmm..... could someone pinch me please because I must be dreamin'. I ordered: Christmas PearAndes MintEvergreenOld Fashioned Sugar CookiePumpkin Custard SpiceBlack Raspberry VanillaAngel TypeI've only poured the Pumpkin one so far and waiting on the cure...ewww I hate the waiting. I don't have one complaint on the ones I haven't poured yet. If they are only half as good in my wax as they smell still in the bottle, my pocketbook is in BIG trouble and I mean BIG. And Bert, you will get tired of hearing me say this... THX!Just thought I'd share,Chantel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samandkennasmom Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 Hi!I have been buying from Bert for over a year now and have at least 75 bottles of her oils, I don't have a single one that that I would say was not a good thrower for me! She got awesome prices and she really is a super sweet person with excellent customer service! I love helping out the little man... or woman! Have a great night!Michele Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pam W Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 I've got a Bert order on it's way and the price is going to save my butt on a big order that I have to make for Xmas. Customer ordered 60 pillars and wanted a big discount which I agreed to since he bought 20 pillars last month. Using other oils I would still make a bit of a profit but with the price of Bert's oil, I'll definately walk away happy!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CountryCreekCandles Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 Just out of curiousity-are any of you using soy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharon in PA Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 Ok, People, definately want to add to the list of Bert's winners:EggnogChristmas Tree-Ooo, lovin' this one!RaspberryParadise (more of a summer, beach type scent, but great and a great thrower!)Vanilla Latte (also try mixing this 50/50 w/ a pumpkin!)Lemon Biscotti (BIG seller!)Pumpkin Custard Spice-not AS spicy when burning, warm and yummy!Apple Cinnamon- more apple than cinnamon, more of a cider scent! (I mix this w/ ICS Pumpkin Pie Filling to make my current favorite scent!)Christmas Pear-can definately be re-named for use yr. round! Creamy, yummy sweet spice and pear!Raspberry Brulee- (reminds me a lot of CS Wildberry Mousse)Oatmeal Cinna Crunch- I am currently testing this 50/50 w/ FOH Caramel Dip, smelled sooo good when I poured it!)All of these throw great in my 50/50, I wick up on: Lemon Biscotti, Vanilla Latte, and Pumpkin Custard Spice!I will be testing her Sasafrass (not sure how to spell this!) Cherry, and Cranberry next! Pured Redwood and Cedar, have to burn it yet... a very clean scent, would be good as a men's soap, IMO! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharon in PA Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 Just out of curiousity-are any of you using soy?There is another thread maybe a few down that has a lot of burn reviews and a good number from soy users...HTH!Hopefully those folks can shoot Bert a line and let her know what's working for them and she can add it to her scent descriptions page...

pixisprkl Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 Her Andes Thin Mint is WONDERFUL! A bit hard to mix with my wax but it's a fantastic thrower. :smiley2: And smells delish! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
byrd46740 Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 Why would you even agree to such a thing in the first place You ladies just kill me I do have to agree with Pam tho - you have to show them men who's boss LOL I work full time and have my own check book and he his, so that's a plus. But also my guy is so laid back, he would never deny me anything, so I guess I am very lucky. Don't get me wrong tho, he still knows who's boss and if mama is happy, everybody is happy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is usually laid back but all men have there moments and last night well I wasnt having his moment.

Pam W Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 lol well I agreed only because I have so many that just sit there so I thought yeah I will work through what I got. If they set for over a month, you're supposed to put them out of site.My box should be here any day now. I ordered a big bottle of sandalwood to use for blending. I plan on using up a couple bottles of vanilla that have been hiding in a dark corner for a while -- I think I have three bottles of various Rose FO somewhere that can be blended with the S'wood.Besides Xmas is just around the corner and that's a great time to make gifts for the family and it will give me room to shift some more out of sight and put new ones in their place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justcountry Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 I use 90 % 415 10% comfort blend and have had great success with blueberry fall harvest pumpkin custard spice (yummy)jack frostfall festival not my favorite scent but throws good magnolia ( I'm not a floral person but has great throw for some reason when this one burns turns a pretty light green in my wax tho I did not use dye) cinnamon nutmeg and cloves has done well for meFruit punch pretty good I wood have to say that orange spice is the only one I was disappointed with as it did not throw well in my soy But I have been mixing it with cloves from ng and then it is great she sent a couple of trial size too but I can't remember right off what they were but I know one was something with moon:laugh2: in it and it did great I think that is a pretty good record since I order some oils that cost a lot more and there are some real duds in those Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
