BB sale - talk me down!

[dixiedragon]

Got an NG shipment in last week. Ordered $200 from WSP yesterday. Now BB has a sale! Talk me down! (or not, LOL)

 

[lionprincess00]

Can't. Got in on it Friday. Got gold and merlot mica, merlot is on sale 20% off, got indigo powder at 25% off with the sale word autumnspice is it? Got salty mariner fo, tobacco bay leaf, black Amber and lavender, and lavender cedar (the lavender forest is to die for. So nice, soaps wonderful, so I'm totally curious how different lavender cedar is).

I'm a bad influence. Boo.

 

[dixiedragon]

You ARE a bad influence. I like that about you.

Dang, until this post I didn't know there was a sale. You are all enablers. :smile:

When I buy supplies, I have to force myself not to look at the fragrance pages or the cost of my order doubles...or triples..or more...

I am rarely successful.

My thoughts are with you.

So, thoughts on these BB FO's
Chai Tea cybilla
Nag Champa
Patchouli
Sandalwood Vanilla

Not from the Spice sale:
crisp anjou pear - the sample last month was awesome
Pumpkin Lager - used this last year, bars still smell awesome
Mint cocoa from surplus page

I'm with you. I read "sale" and had clicked on the link before I had time to think about it! LOL

Ok ladies....put your hands in the air and back SLOWLY away from the keyboard....no sudden moves. I've got a hot glue gun, and I'm not afraid to use it.

I would be interested in knowing thoughs on some of these as well.

I have heard that Pumpkin Lager is nice though haven't tried it.

I'm trying to stay away........haven't looked yet....

When I made my first batch last year I had two FO's to choose from, now I have so many I can't begin to use them all, and what do I want to do??? BUY MORE!! Somebody STOP ME! oh yeah, husband already did that....

All I know is I've been less than impressed with the 3 cybilla fragrances I've gotten. Can't lump it all in, I know, but I will probably never buy another cybilla again. I've wanted to see the vanilla sandalwood, but the mixed reviews have me second guessing. Let me know what you do!

Unless the vanilla sandalwood changes in CP, I wouldn't recommend it. To my nose, it just smelled like sweetened chemicals in M&P - I couldn't pick up any sandalwood - only some imitation vanilla extract.

 

[lionprincess00]

All that I bought was only 47 bucks.

Just sayin'.

Probably better deal had I got more.....

 

[lionprincess00]

It shipped already too. They're usually slower. Hmm....

The Scent Works had the most amazing sandalwood vanilla EVER, but I think it's out of stock and shows no sign of ever being restocked again. I'm hoarding what I have left, every drop..........just for me! Sorry not to be of more help, but I'm still mourning the loss of this fabulous FO. If they go under, I sure hope someone picks up this one.

Good to know! I just got an order of a bunch of samples from Daystar - so I won't be able to try out another supplier until I use up some of those. I'll keep my eye out for Scent Works resupplying it. I've read that their FOs are high quality.

I love a good sandalwood, but the real-deal EO would eat up too much of my playtime budget for soap making. I have a tiny amount left of a perfume oil a co-worker brought me years ago from India and am hording it too. It smells amazing and getting better with age.

 

[dixiedragon]

I was reading stories on Etiquette Hell, and an Indian poster shared the horrible story of sneaking into their garden while they were at work and chopping down and stealing their very old sandalwood tree!

So, just ordered. And I added the lotus stamp. It is super pretty. NO idea what I'll do with it. I wanted the Batik molds, but for &%$# sake, I am SO SICK of paying $7 or $8 for a sheet of plastic that only holds 3 molds when it could EASILY hold more. It wastes space in my cabinet. The soap is that much harder to get out of the 3rd cavity b/c it it surrounded by plastic, vs the 1st two all nicely situated in the corners. Frankly, it's so irritating that it significantly diminishes my enjoyment of the molds.

I agree, I have the same complaint about some of the Milky Way molds that I have. I think they expect that you will buy an extra mold or two to get more cavities, but in the end all they do is annoy their customers into not buying from them again, because they feel like they've been ripped off. It's a shame.

Oh dear, why did you tell me that!?
