@@cazcoles Hi my lovely , it was a random pick ahaha no intentions to pick it over S41 x I rarely use RCX with FO so I sometimes like to see how it works with me x

@@clairegillies thank you lovely 🤍 and ahaha I think it makes sense actually, its almost like a perfume that we put on our skin - sometimes when you smell a perfume out of the bottle doesn’t smell the best but when it comes in contact with your skin and the notes start your reacting to your skin you may enjoy it. It is exactly the same with fragrances oils and candles - when the notes start releasing into the open air it smells different to the bottle xo

@@laurencedelattre104 Hi Laurence , thank you for watching my video. What do you mean not for glass jar? It works perfectly in a glass jar but I wouldn’t recommend to use it in a clear jar because it does leave some cracks in the wax when it cures. I enjoy working with this wax for sure and I recommend that you buy a sample and experience it yourself.

@@mawahebhomei’m so grateful that I’ve found this comment. I made a candle with this wax blend in a glass jar, followed all the rules (cooling on a wired rack, regulating the ambient temperature and etc) redone it even, and cracks and frosting were still there. It’s a relief to know that it’s not my fault but wax’s specialty 😅😅😅

@@_monamono_2382 aww this makes me so happy! I am so grateful you came across this comment, its meant to be! Definitely not your fault , its the wax haha - It doesn’t look cute in a clear jar , the performance of the wax is excellent x

@@mawahebhome ❤️

@@FlorinGN I really did hahah , Oh my!!! I am internally cringing 😂 I can’t even bring myself to watch old videos 😂 Thank you so much for supporting me and watching me , I appreciate you! I am so grateful that I improved too , it feels that I have. Practice makes perfect right? 🤍

@@mawahebhome Without cringe how do you expect to become??! 😅 But they don't look cringe to me... however, I felt the frustration and overwhelming with all of the experimenting, though 😬😬 I'm two weeks into candle making. And I just want to make them for my loved ones. And I am going through some pain too! I haven't got one single candle burning right 😅😅 🙏 thank you! I'll watch them again until I learn

@@FlorinGN I couldn’t agree more! Hahah yes alot of frustration for sure 😂 You will get there I promise, I know you will 🤍 do you just want to make candles as a hobby or would you want to start a small business with it?

@@mawahebhome I will leave the business part to people like you. You deserve it!! Years of work, oh my God! As for myself, I am making the candles for someone dear. I can make my own molds so instead of flowers, I will mold a flower which she likes in form of a candle. So thanks to your advice, I can actually make it happen! Thanks for encouragement! ❤️ And back to you! I've seen many tutorials but you are explaining the whole process with fails and wins. It is more easy to understand, it's... human. Even if some of us think it was cringe back then 😄

@@micheleeastmond9552 I will definitely be preparing a video for it! Waiting on my sticker paper to arrive this week so I can play around with it!

@@mawahebhome excitedly looking forward to it whenever you have finished 🤩🤩🤩

@@celenet455 I am so glad it came on time for you , everything happens at the right time! I recommend that you try Kerasoy but try it at 10/15% Kerasoy, I used a 50/50 blend and 70/30 blend which was not needed. I also never had a good wick with Kerasoy which is why I recommend less kerasoy in the S41 blend so the wicking process doesn’t get affected. I love S41 and the way it burns and I also the HT and CT Kerasoy gives off but the wicking process is poor. We all learn from each other , I am glad my video found its way to you x

@@MagicFeather0 I think this is a candle maker thing hahah and I definitely don’t think we are the only ones and for sure this is normal! Ahh I am grateful and so glad that enjoyed watching this video! I appreciate you!

@@clairegillies I completely agree, it almost feels freeing 🤍 thank you for watching and for supporting me 🤍

@@LD-nb4hr I get mine from Cosy Owl , I love it! Ooo I have actually been wanting to try the fragrances from NI candle supplies , hows your experiences with them?

@@passioncommit8575 🤍🤍

@@leannedrury2383 I could have done a second pour after leaving it to cure overnight but I was too annoyed by it because I am using it at home

@@moussamatthieu62 thank you so much! I appreciate it! 😊

@@cazcoles I am definitely getting there x I think its alot of work from trying to balance my full-time job and trying to set up a passion project that I want to see grow and flourish. I taking the necessary steps to slowly start building this from ground 0. I also think the fear of starting can take over me which is why I delayed launching the last 4 years as I fear about the what ifs but I am in a better place now and working to get this running soon and looking forward to sharing it with you 🤍 x

You've definitely got this. You have put in all the hard work don't let fear stop you from achieving your goals. Thanks for sharing your journey xx

@@cazcoles Thank you my love , I appreciate your kind words 🤍

@@rosemaryclare22 Hi lovely , thank you for watching my video! I have personally tried ECO and TCR wicks but I find ECO wicks performance so poor with me , I always have bad mushrooming & soot leaving the flame & soot in my jar so I swapped from Eco & TCR to CL , stabilo and TB wicks! If I was to choose between ECO and TCR , I would choose TCR x

@@mawahebhome I've never tried TB ... Are these what you are currently using in this video? Do you get a strong hot throw with them?

@@rosemaryclare22 Hi , I definitely recommend that you branch out to the CL , TB and stabilo series I personally have had a good experience with them giving me a good hot throw , steady flames , little mushrooming but also kindly remember that every candle maker’s testing is different there is alot of trial and error involved! Hows your experience with the ECO and TCR wicks

@@mawahebhome thank you .. Eco 10 seemed to give a strong hot throw ...but feedback from my sister was she could smell like a bonfire smell, but never got this feedback from anyone else, and I couldn't smell that, but as you say lots of trial and error with different scents. TCR have been okay but not very good hot throw for me personally

@@rosemaryclare22 I do understand your sisters perspective with the bonfire smell , eco does sometimes give off that type of smell but I didn’t always smell like that personally for me it was burning too hot , lots of mushrooming and soot x

@@clairegillies thank you my lovely Claire 🤍 Thankfully , the sweating on the S41 in the heat it literally made a melt pool lool but I am glad that it worked!xo

@@passioncommit8575 Thank you pretty , I appreciate you 🤍 oooo gold foiling thats interesting, have you tried researching? Or asking printer brands recommendations? I think the Cricut machine does it , I have one at home that my sister uses for more of a tailored look but I could be wrong ( as I never used it myself) definitely some research will help 🤍 I love that you love my videos , thank you for supporting me and being there for me 🤍🥹

@@passioncommit8575 Hi lovely , thank you for watching and supporting 🤍 I completely agree , I was having this conversation with another one of my followers and I said fragrance oils are really a hit and miss in general in the UK market. I remember 4 years ago I tested fragrance oils from the US and the quality is just beyond but shipping and custom fees are sky high I wouldn’t shop from abroad again. I feel like in the UK you really have to search for good quality fragrances which also means for us spending more money and trying various of suppliers. Ooo I really dont like that odd chemical smell! Yeah I completely agree that it is a hit and miss and I enjoyed their essential oils are not too bad xo

@@byboholove thank you pretty , really looking forward to using it! I just need to buy sticker paper 🤍 Thank you for supporting me 🤍

@@emmabarlow2010 awww Emma 🥹 You literally made me tear up , what a sweet and kind comment 🥺🤍 I am beyond grateful for your support and for being by my side on my candle Journey! I cannot wait to play around with the printer and also review it for you 🤍 I really need to buy sticker paper! 🤍 Thank you so much for putting the biggest smile on my face, you’re heart is kind 🤍

@@DDTC73 I need to order more CL wicks , I have ran out lol! I do enjoy working with CL wicks with both RCX wax and my S41! Interesting perspective, maybe suppliers are not able to get good quality fragrances with Sandalwood or maybe its a difficult note for suppliers to work with! I need to start doing more wick less testing! It would be interesting to know if you buy your suppliers for the UK or US?

@@mawahebhome I'm UK based, though I do get some oils from the US, but only through friends who live there. If you know of a great sandalwood FO, I'd love to know. I'm currently trialing a blend of S41 with CS1 and it's great

@@DDTC73 Ordering oils from US is an absolute nightmare in terms of costs lol but glad you found an affordable way to get US stock into the UK! Sounds interesting, I am also trialing S41 and Kerasoy because my S41 keeps on sweating so much during the heatwave 😭

@@DR76900 my absolute pleasure , my curing time is between one to two weeks with my EO

@@mawahebhome Thank you for responding so quickly.

@@manospapa6526 Hi , thank you for watching my video! When you say some smell great do you mean the cold throw and hot throw or one and not the other? In my experience with FO , some fragrances are stronger than others so it’s definitely not something that you are doing wrong. You could try and test with 8% but if you are working with a weak fragrance then 9%- 10% could work better for you. Also , dare I say it , trying a different wax , I personally no longer use this wax , I moved on to the S41 and RCX wax that are working better for me in regards to HT , CT and wicking process. Trial and error is key , I hope this helps!

@@mawahebhome thank you yes I meant cold throw but today apparently I can smell them I do have a lot of stock of that soya wax but I do plant to do some other testings in the future if I do one candle I do get some oxygen on the glass that I fix with heat gun but if I do more than one the are coming out very good with out frosting or anything it is really easy soy wax that’s why I decided to launch with that one and doing tests regularly with other waxees are the waxes you are using soy wax ? Or other natural wax ? Maybe coconut wax will not have that issues

@@manospapa6526 I think its a good wax to work with from an aesthetic perspective but I completely forgot how it performed when I tested it a few years back. Yes the S41 is a soy wax however it doesn’t have a good aesthetic look unfortunately so I have to mix it with Kerasoy which is a harder soy wax than S41 and I work with RCX which is a blend of rapeseed and coconut , works excellent with me! With some of the fragrance they are soft fragrance so it doesn’t come through as strong in the CT but you could still smell it! I am glad you are having a CT today ahah , these candles are playing tricks with us 😂

@@mawahebhome it’s a hard process but everyday for the rest of our life we will found something and learn something thank you for your videos helps a lot

@@manospapa6526 It is definitely a difficult process but what isn’t difficult right? Like you said we will always have find something to learn and learning something thats challenging feels really good! I am glad my videos are helping , looking forward to having you here for the long run!

@@louisegoudie my pleasure 🤍 x

@@JasmineRose.x thank you pretty! Great minds think alike 🤍 ooooo I thought you’d never ask , I will plan that video for you! It will be so fun for you to experiment with different blends and notes xo Thank you for always supporting me and watching my videos , I appreciate you 🥺🤍🥰

@mawahebhome indeed!! Aw thank you!! I can't wait! I can never understand the top mid and bottom notes thing either 😂 I would love to see that!! You're welcome thank you for providing the best content!! Always looking forward to the next video! I can't wait till you're self employed and I can buy your products 🥰🤍

@@clairegillies thank you pretty , I appreciate you! 🤍🥺 I also love watching others making candles , it’s so satisfying !

@@LD-nb4hr ahhhh no I actually haven’t! Never tried this before , what a genius idea - I will definitely try that with all my testing batches xx

@@anabi386 Hi lovely , yes I actually use to do wickless testing but I somehow stopped doing it! I could definitely try doing this again , like you said it does save time and money. I could also use this a video idea so thank you for this 🤍 Thank you my lovely for watching me and supporting me , I am forever grateful 🤍

@@clairegillies hey lovely, I know 😔 when I walked into my room I was like whaaat?! Really!? Haha but like you said HT was coming through and I am sorry about the strange smell , I feel like fragrances from any company is a hit and miss , you get the odd few fragrances that work well but then you have to shop with others to try and find the same quality. I am glad the CT came throw nicer , hopefully the HT comes through better! Please let me know , oval candle sounds like a dream 😍 when you are able, the tonka and tobacco flower from Cosy Owl smells alot better than Nikura Tobacco and Vanilla , definitely worth a try xx

@@mawahebhome I'm grateful to have these fragrance oils to try. thank you

@@clairegillies I am grateful for your support girly 🤍 xo

@@byboholove my absolute pleasure 🤍

@@mawahebhome “Bought the Jasmine after your recommendation, so fingers crossed for the burn testing in about a week time. Using Coco-Pro / Stabilo 14... I will let you know. Have a lovely weekend xx

@@byboholove Yaaayy! I love this 🤍 Please keep in the loop and let me know your thoughts about the fragrance, have a lovely weekend too my lovely xo

@@JasmineRose.x Hi Jasmine 🤍 I am well thank you lovely , I hope that you are doing well! What an incredible video idea , wow its interesting how strong the alcohol smells ( not a very pleasant one either) , maybe we need to look for perfumers alcohol with a little bit less alcohol in there! What type of reeds do you use? As I prefer rattan reeds over fibre reeds. I notice fibre reeds doesn’t give off a strong throw but rattan is stronger! This is a very good video idea for me , I will start looking into to it, thank you my lovely and we will help each other out with this! 🤍🤍

@mawahebhome aww thank you! I can't wait! I have tried both rattan and fibre. I read that rattan reeds are best for perfumers alcohol. I use the one from candle shack but haven't tried any others! It's all a minefield haha 😂 I will look into if there is any difference in other brands for perfumers alcohol 😊 thank you!! ❤️ xxx

@@JasmineRose.x My pleasure, thank you! Xo Girl , I couldn’t agree more a minefield it is 😂🤍 there are limited options with diffuser bases from suppliers its either a vegan base or alcohol , do you think there is a way of creating our own? I would like to try witch hazel , have you tried that? I bought witch hazel a long time ago from US and mixed with it fragrance, it smelt so well! But I never bought it again because of ridiculous shipping costs 😂

@mawahebhome I haven't looked into that actually! I will read a bit more into other bases! I feel like all the good things are abroad 😂 I really wanted to make candles with coconut and apricot wax (like the one that is raved about from America, I think it's called coco apricot creme) and boy did I test it trying to blend it myself but literally just failed dramatically every time 😂 the shipping costs for the actual wax is outrageous so I gave up haha 🥲 xxx

@@JasmineRose.x honestly, i feel the same way too! I feel like I have to research so much in the UK and its so hard to find something of good quality. Yes yes, I know the wax I actually tried it! That was 4 years ago my very first videos was these waxes from the US and there fragrances are a chefs kiss so delicious ! I paid £200 for shipping including custom fees lol never again xo

@@cazcoles I am so grateful that you find my videos informative! Music to my ears 🤍 Good question , I would personally recommend that you buy a tester batch of each to help your decision making process! I actually work with both, the S41 has an incredible hot throw works well with TB wicks , Cl wicks and Stabilo wicks and the same with RCX wax. The RCX wax I prefer with my essential oil candles it holds very well and I get the hot throw I am after. The downfall that I have been getting with S41 is the rough surfaces it leaves pre and post burn so I am going to start mixing it with Kerasoy to help give it the smooth finish xo

@@mawahebhome thank you for your reply. I did order a tester of each yesterday so will do some testing but like you, I’m not sure I will like the rough tops so will need to mix to obtain a smoother finish. Do you think mixing it with another parasoy blend would be ok? This particular blend gives and amazing top but not so good of a hot throw so thinking the two might work. X

@@cazcoles My absolute pleasure , always happy to help! Yess definitely try mixing your S41 with the parasoy blend , it will for one improve the hot throw , maybe even cold throw and looks aesthetically pleasing! Have fun with it and let me know how it goes , I would be curious to know xo

@@user-gb8vj2cj6k Thank you so much , very kind of you 🤍

@@cazcoles Good question , I have been working withe S41 for the last fews months and I found the S41 leaves a very rough finish so I think I may start incorporating the Kera Soy to help support the s41 give me a smooth finish pre and post burn x A long winded answer but I think I will be mixing a bit of both

@@mawahebhome thank you xx

@@Diab-j شكرًا جزيلاً على النصيحة القيمة! يبدو أن زيوت نيكورا تستحق التجربة بالفعل. سأخذ بنصيحتك وأجربها، خاصةً بعد تجربتك المميزة معها. ممتنة لمشاركتك تجربتك، وسأحرص على إخبارك برأيي بعد الاستخدام.

@@louisegoudie Hi pretty, good question! So, with EO I measure in ml rather than grams and the reason why is because as you say the measuring scale doesn’t read the weight lol so for example - my 150ml amber jar my calculations would be ( 143g Wax + 7ml worth of EO = 150g ) I use 5% EO because I use 100% EO but I don’t recommend that you go higher than 6% with EO! The bottles come in a dropper right?x

@@mawahebhome brilliant, thanks 😊 x

@@clairegillies Girl same , it feels so therapeutic and creative! I would love to get into pillar candles more which I think I will have even more fun with it but it’s just as complicated as container candles! I should take it one step at a time haha. I completely agree we all have our unique way of making and testing candles which is why all our results are different x Have fun burning and testing your candles , I am sure it smells incredible and it definitely is harder and can be frustrating xo

@@MrVfxprabhu so it would be 20% Diffuser base or perfumers alcohol and 80% Fragrance oil which makes it up a 100ml bottle , I hope this makes sense

@@passioncommit8575 my absolute pleasure! Hows your experience with burning them I would be curious to know? What temperature do you usually add your fragrance oil in and which wax do you use? Could you still smell the fragrance in the candle (Cold throw)?

@@mawahebhome I used the S41+ CS wax, 50% each and the hot throw was disappointing. Cold throw was good 👍. I added FO at 45 degrees, basically an average FO addition temperature for both wax types. Maybe its the combo that reduced the efficacy of the HT but I was hoping for more. Perhaps it'll work better for S41 only but i havent tested so im looking forward to your thoughts. Can you also pls show what the tops of your candles look like? Hope this helps. Love your videos🥰

@@passioncommit8575 I am so grateful that you enjoy my videos 🤍🩷 Ofcourse I will show my tops in this weeks video ( aiming to post on Sunday) I did use RCX wax this time round but S41 wax I have been needing to heat gun a few of my candles it leaves rough tops. I was thinking to blend it with Kerasoy so it reduces the rough tops and S41 sweats so much during hot temperatures haha! Maybe try testing without the mixture of CS wax and see how that goes! I am sure you will find a way , its lots of trail and error!

@@clairegillies My absolute pleasure my lovely! The dough scraper is a life changer for me , can’t wait for you to see how it works. I love fragrances and making videos about them too 🤍 xo

@mawahebghazal you should! I just made an order with about 20 tester bottles so will let you know if I find any more hidden gems 😂 I always used candle shack before but struggled with wicking etc, so I ordered some of your faves from Cozy Owl - and the cold and hot throw is amazing! So thank you for introducing me to them haha you should definitely partner with them! You have literally convinced me to buy every fragrance so far based on your reactions haha 😂 xx

@@JasmineRose.x This is music to my ears!! I love this , ahhh I enjoy a FO order - please do let me know pretty if you find any hidden gems ahah I would love try it , test it and film it! It would be a dream goal to actually work with them , I did try to reach out tbh by email but haven’t heard back xoxo

@mawahebghazal Will do! I know me too haha it's so exciting! Well they should do haha you've probably got them so many customers 😂 xx

@@JasmineRose.x You are very kind , I think we have already manifested the collab or maybe a better one! Its a waiting game now 🤍

@@DinaHelmy Hi Dina , I hope that you are well. Good question , I personally didn’t move forward with these waxes. I currently work with RCX wax and S41 Wax that are both natural and are working well with me so far. The reason why I stopped working with London Luxury Supply waxes because it leaves a really rough surface when burning and I found wicking them was a little difficult. However, from memory I can remember enjoying the pure soy the most but again I haven’t tested them in a very long time so your own testing is crucial to see what you like and dislike x

@@louisegoudie Hi pretty , girl I jumped on Amazon as soon as I saw this and bought it! Thank you soo soo much!! Xoxo

@@mawahebhome you're more than welcome xx

@@HeavenlyDiva You just need to multiply, for example if you are using a 100ml diffuser bottle - You would use 80ml diffuser base and 20ml fragrance. So your calculations would be 80 x 6 = 480ml of diffuser base and for the fragrance it would be 20 x 6 = 120ml fragrance. Hope this helps.
