Hi Karen i am really looking forward to your video on making wax melt labels , i was so excited when i heard you mention it , iv never been able to master it. Thank you so much for all your videos and information you share its much appreciated.
I found your channel a couple of days ago and I have been binge watching your videos I am absolutely obsessed. I am really looking forward to trying to make wax melts. Thank you.💖
Hiya I'm new but I'm soo happy I found your channel I was starting to do wax melts as something to pass time with everything going on and I've learnt so much from you
thank you so much for this. I watch your videos over and over again cuz I got a soap and wax melt business. I got both the long chocolate bars, the (5) cavity ones, and the ones that look like chocolate. I love glitter I bought the unicorn biodegradable glitter. I also bought the things that can make the drizzles . plus, I bought (20) lbs of wax. lol. I got tons of molds . lol it's fun. house smells amazing. I have Burgamont scent.
Thank to you I took the plunge and started making the wax melts and sachets. I'm currently using 494 because in Trinidad and Tobago we can't access eco soy. Thank you for all the information and help. Honestly if I hadn't seen you I'd probably still be day dreaming about doing it, so thank you 🖤
I wish they bring the fragrance ''Freesia'' but the old one that yardleys used to make in the 70's coz my late mam used to wear it and i managed to find the original 10 years ago to give her for xmas and then found another for my sister last year so every anniversay or her birthday i get it out and take the lid off for a smell xx
These are the best videos! Very informative! New to all of this and was wondering how long you cure the melts for? I am using the same wax and have lit melts a few days after making and not having luck with the hot throw! Any advice would be appreciated!
Hi Karen, just wanted to let you and everyone know that you can buy those exact tall jugs from Dunelm. I brought 2 myself the other day for £3 each. I hope this helps you or anyone who wants to know where to find them 🥰 xXx
When using silicone wax bars, does anybody else have the issue when unmolding that there are reflective "stains" on the snap bar and it looks greasy on the mold in that exact place as well? What happens with this is that wherever the stain is, the glitter has completely moved to the side and it leave an unnatural pattern on the bar.... Help! :( i don't know what to do. In this video I think it happens to you at 15:30 as well. Where there is that shiny part at the bottom where there is no glitter
Awesome video. Thanks for sharing. How long do you cure the wax melts for? And what is your pouring temp? I have frosting issues no matter what I try. I pour at 140 f/62 c and use Golden wax 494. I did try the fridge method and it didn't help.
I know I say this all the time... But I love all the beautiful colors u use in your products there so happy and cheerful.. I know u have no control over it, but I wish the shipping to the US wasn't so expensive because I would love to try some of your products. Maybe one day 😁
Hi I've been making wax melts for a month now and got all my tips from u so thank u but I'm getting confused because I was adding my scent to wax and measuring it in mls but since been told I should put my scales on in grams and measure the fragrance in grams not mls im so confused now could u tell me please x thank u x
Hi there! You mentioned about doing a video all about CLP. I know you're a very busy lady but I'm very much interested in this area. You're videos are giving me so much inspiration ❤
Hello Karen! I love Irn Bru! I'm interested to smell the fragrance. Loving the videos. Will need to find eco soy wax in Canada so I can get started. You are a great inspiration to me. Cheers from Canada!
how long on average can you get on one wax "cube" when melting for smell? 3 hrs, 8 hrs? I purchased a Bunch of the wax melts and want to make the most of my sent experience and do not know on average how long they "last" smell I mean when melting.
Hello, what kind of wax are you using? I’ve tried several (soy 464, coconut brew and bw) none have worked. My melts are not solidifying and crumbling when I try to unfold. Thank you!

I can't wait for soap class! I'll probably learn some very interesting things I didn't know, even if I've been soaping for 8 years. The melts are gorgeous! I've been using the Ecsoya pillar blend for mine, because you can't get the melt in the States just yet. It is working very well. I ordered 10 of the molds and had them sent over. Like everything else good, you can't buy it here! Hopefully Joe Biden will make a great deal with the UK in trade so it may become easier for us all! Jill Gross PS: Karen you are rich! You have your health, a grand husband, and you have all of us who love you like crazy! I know I hang around like a sad dog waiting for your videos to pop up!
Good to know Jill, I often wondered about using the pillar wax for melts and you have confirmed that it works well, so thanks. Yes fingers crossed for a good trade deal

I love your videos, you have inspired me to start making my own. I use golden wax 494 and so far so good. What would you advise is the minimum time to unmould? I am currently awaiting more moulds so need to reuse the ones I have.
Hello. I absolutely love your videos and I need your help!! I have recently started making Wax Melts and I can’t seem to get them right, they keep frosting and sweating. Please help me fix this x
Please can I have your advice? I’m getting confused with soya wax. I’m currently using Kerasoy pillar wax 4210? I’m unsure if I like it or not. I keep seeing tick-tock videos of wax melt makers saying they use soy wax but there are so many different kinds could you recommend the perfect wax for wax melts please. X
How are you getting your colours so vibrant? Mine keep going cloudy what am I going wrong? Like I can't get bright colours to stay or black to be black not grey lol 🙈 any tips? Xx
Sorry if I missed it in the video but how long do you leave the wax melts to "cure" for before you sell them? I see so many different opinions everywhere x

Any tips on how to get them looking flatter? I am using golden wax 494. Also, how long should melts cure before you can sell? Seen various different info from you can use after a few hours to they need to sit for 2 weeks. Thanks x
Maybe your wax needs to be a little warmer. Also I am now using Ecosoya melt wax it is far superior to the 494 which is terrible for frosting. I know some people cure for a week but I just do 24 hours
@@EdensSecret1 Thank you for getting back to me so quickly. What temperature would you suggest pouring at? I saw your notes about the EcoSoya, we can't seem to find any in stock to try and change.
Hi , i always watch you’re videos on making wax melts as I’ve started making my own as well I love it, but I’m finding really annoying when am un moulding my bars is sticking to the moulds like really bad I don’t know how to fix it if you could give me some advice please x
Are you using moulding wax? If you are using container wax, that could be the reason. Look for mouling, pillar or wax melt wax, that works fine. Paraffin is a bit harder than soy, so they pop out easier.
hi! i was wondering if you could give me some advice on two things? i'm using the same moulds as you but i find that when i use mica powder, the colour 'sinks' to the top layer (the one at the bottom of the mould) and the colour barely sticks anywhere else - any advice? the second and most annoying is that when i unmould them, it's like the top layer of wax sticks to the mould and i can't get a shiny smooth top - what am i doing wrong?! thank you!!

@@nia-lj9si ah man Im not sure if there's much you can do 😭 the container wax is more for candles as it apparently sticks to the side of candle jars better, which is why it sticks to the molds too.

I’m obsessed with wax melts and I want to start making my own. I have never done it before nor know where to start! Can anyone give me everything I need and where to get it from and also a rough step by step guide to make successful melts please?🕯x
Hi, if you watch this playlist from the last video to the 1st video (they are loading back to front) hopefully there will be TONS of help in there for you. Links to supplies are usually in the description box of each video.
Do you have any tips on reducing frosting on your melts?? I am really struggling with this and see other businesses doing them perfect!! Love your videos :) x
What temp do you heat it too to add colour and fragrance and then what temp do you cool it down to when you pour because I seem to be getting frosting on my wax melts and I have tried so so many times
From what I've researched you go with the wax you use, guidelines as they are different for each . I had frosting at the start too but I'm managed to not get it now. I use 494 golden wax. 😊
I made some last night but when I took them out the mold the front of them were not pretty. Seemed like the wax stuck to the mold. I had to reheat them. Any idea why?
You can do it either way. :) When I make wax melts in moulds like this; I tend to do it as is shown in the video. If I am making candles I would do it the way you mentioned. So for example, if my container holds 100g in total and I wanted to use 10% fragrance oil, I would take it off of my 100g rather than add it on top.
Hello. I hope you are well. Karen, please ❤️ would you mind to help me. How much in total grams goes into one mould of 6? I just can't figure it out 😰 Please xx
Sorry not quite understanding your question, do you want to mix two fragrances together in one wax, if so, just do a 50/50 split 700g of wax, 35g one fragrance 35g of another. If you are in the U.K. Or eu you will need a new CLP for a mixed fragrance, however if you are anywhere else in the world our rules do not apply
Hiya Karen, just after some advice please I've heard it's x 2 cost for wholesalers and x 3 cost for retail? Is this correct? Im just starting out and have no idea when it comes to pricing lol Xx
Great Question.... I'd say you need to at least triple it for wholesale and x5 or x6 for retail at least. Just doubling it will never give you enough to sustain your business. Let me explain.... if the ingredients for your wax melt costs you 60p and you sell that wax melt for £1.20 the profit you made (60p) will only cover buying more ingredients and there will be no profit in your pocket, so all you will be doing is making profit to re-purchase the same quantity of ingredients., your biz can't grow and you will have no profit in your bank. Hope that helps.
Can anyone help please as I’m still new to this.I’m using Ecosoya cb 135 and having some small frosting issues on the outside of the melts. I’ve tried stirring gently and pouring slowly at 60C the temperature they’ve recommended and not sure what else to try if anyone has any suggestions
I used to use CB135, when I made my candles, I did try making wax melts with them and I also got frosting issues, it's a great wax but maybe not for melts.
@@EdensSecret1 ah brilliant thank you! I have been making candles and it’s been great for that! I’ll try get my hands on the melt wax whenever they come back in stock 🤞🏼
Once again a great video, & you really made me laugh out loud (Lol) with your bum & boob comment. Have a good weekend and can't wait until the last Friday in Feb for my beginners course on soap making.
Yes you can use any glitter as wax is not a cosmetic. Plastic glitter is only banned in cosmetics because it can go down the sink and into rivers and seas. I really do hope the price of bioglitter comes down in price so we can afford to use it in everything because I actually prefer it x
@@EdensSecret1 thank you for the feedback, I have a few jars of glitter from my granddaughters school projects so thought I would put them to good use.. I love your videos, keep them coming!!!
I started using 494 when Ecosoya went out of business. The 494 is very difficult to get no frosting so as soon as Ecosoya came back I started using that again and in my opinion is far superior
Love your fairy lights behind the wax melts at the end! I am in the same boat with needing reduction of "boobs and butt", so if you find the answer let me know. I get very very bad headaches with Rose fragrances, not in the garden with my own roses. I have lots in the yard. I could smell them all day. But any rose fragrance (only kind that does that) will set me off and I have to be very careful in the malls. The melts look fabulous with all the beautiful glitter. Thumbs up on the video dear. Cheers and Blessings 💕👍💕
A big bowl with hot water and a dish soap i use fairy put them in the bowl leave them for 2 minutes max and take a brush for the kitchen that you don’t use and give them a good scrub and leave them to air-dry and you are done :)
I've recently started my own wax melts and I'm clueless how to price them i was thinking 4.50 is that to expensive I live in Scotland x my scents are perfumes like alien daisy sauvage joop cool waters angel ect x
I don’t like the smell of rose in wax melts and soaps, it reminds me of my great granny. It’s very old fashioned! I don’t like the glitter either, each to their own.

@@EdensSecret1 ah brilliant thank you! I have been making candles and it’s been great for that! I’ll try get my hands on the melt wax whenever they come back in stock 🤞🏼
Hi! Do you use the same micas for melts that you do for soap?
Yes, I do, isn't that great news, no buying two different colours for each.
Where do you do your labels please?
Once again a great video, & you really made me laugh out loud (Lol) with your bum & boob comment. Have a good weekend and can't wait until the last Friday in Feb for my beginners course on soap making.
Can you use any kind of glitter in melts?
Yes you can use any glitter as wax is not a cosmetic. Plastic glitter is only banned in cosmetics because it can go down the sink and into rivers and seas. I really do hope the price of bioglitter comes down in price so we can afford to use it in everything because I actually prefer it x
@@EdensSecret1 thank you for the feedback, I have a few jars of glitter from my granddaughters school projects so thought I would put them to good use.. I love your videos, keep them coming!!!
I love the rose and oud fo 🥰
I find Pyrex jugs at the goodwill ALL THE TIME.. FOR LIKE 1$
Where do you buy your dye colours from?

Links should be in my description
If not they’ll be in my next wax melt video coming soon
What made you swap from 494 to Eco Soy please hun? X
I started using 494 when Ecosoya went out of business. The 494 is very difficult to get no frosting so as soon as Ecosoya came back I started using that again and in my opinion is far superior
Hi. Do you have any advice on how I can stop or reduce frosting when using golden wax 494? X
Love your fairy lights behind the wax melts at the end! I am in the same boat with needing reduction of "boobs and butt", so if you find the answer let me know. I get very very bad headaches with Rose fragrances, not in the garden with my own roses. I have lots in the yard. I could smell them all day. But any rose fragrance (only kind that does that) will set me off and I have to be very careful in the malls. The melts look fabulous with all the beautiful glitter. Thumbs up on the video dear.
Cheers and Blessings 💕👍💕
Thanks, Cheryl and Lol on the butt and boobs issue. I have roses in my yard too.
how do you clean the mold after?
A big bowl with hot water and a dish soap i use fairy put them in the bowl leave them for 2 minutes max and take a brush for the kitchen that you don’t use and give them a good scrub and leave them to air-dry and you are done :)
Can u use any glitter on wax melts x
Hi Alison yes you can use any glitter
Do you melt them straight away or wait a few days or weeks?
Seems like a 2 week cure is always best but you can melt them straight away if you wanted to
When melting if I'm doing 450g do I weigh before or after melting
Before or after, the weight will be the same
Where did you get your wax from? X

What is the mica and colours made up of exactly?
Is it safe to heat the glitters? Surely they give off something having chemicals from either the material or what’s used to process/make them
Can you get chunkier snap bar moulds?
You could try using the plastic clam shells, not that you asked me!! But I was wondering that also!
Yes, there are many different ones... check this link:- www.siliconemoulds.com/category-49.html

I've recently started my own wax melts and I'm clueless how to price them i was thinking 4.50 is that to expensive I live in Scotland x my scents are perfumes like alien daisy sauvage joop cool waters angel ect x
Irn-bru scent?!
Your wax melts are the best ….
💕💕💕💕
I don’t like the smell of rose in wax melts and soaps, it reminds me of my great granny. It’s very old fashioned! I don’t like the glitter either, each to their own.
Yep, it's a granny smell
Irn Bru I'd a famous scottish drink.
