Hi,
I've been all over the internet and found it the cheapest at sugarcraft.com. When your looking, check the size of the bottle/container. They come in 2 and 4 oz little plastic containers.

Luster dusts normally come in 2 gram jars and petal dusts come in 4 gram jars.

I think payless cake decor that leana metions is probably the best overall, but if you are looking to just get one each of a few colors, looking around will help. Consider the price of the dusts as well as the shipping charged. Some places may be cheaper for the dusts, but they get ya with shipping charges.

I usually order from Beryl's or Country Kitchen.

I order from eBay...Jester's Party Supply. He sells it for $2.49 for 2 ounce jars. Shipping is $4.05, no matter how many you buy. That's a pretty good deal.

i get it on ebay from jestersuppy for 2.49 too! good deal. a little goes along way...just be aware that some colors on the chart dont look exact in person. (shrimp luster -looks pink not orange and cranberry red looks hot pink, not red red. ) one time he sent the wrong ones so he let me keep them and sent free replacements. not bad.

Are you ordering from the Jester's Party Supply in Kissimme, Florida? I live less than 5 miles from a Jester's Party Supply and I get most of my decorating items from there! They have quite q good supply, but aren't open on Sundays.

oh no! I don't want to place ANOTHER order and pay more shipping! Do you think I can complain and say it's not like the picture?? The picture makes it look red, and Hello, cranberries are VERY red!!

Hey, thanks for that info - I just placed an order can't tell the DH tapedshut.gif - I really liked a lot of the colors, I think I'm addicted to shopping for cake supplies. Oh well, it could be purses (oops, I have that addiction too)! icon_lol.gif

When I bought my 34 jars a couple of weeks ago, I got mine from here:
www.paylesscakedecor.com/lusterdust1.htm

It is a two pack deal for $3.98 at 2 ounces /jar, and yes the quality is very good. and I am planning on buying more..

kate714, i would mention it. the more they hear about it, the more chance they'll do something about it. one time i ordered 5 super pearl, they sent 3 pearl and 2 white. it was their mistake (looked similar-got mixed in) so he told me to keep them and sent free replacements w/ free shipping. the second time i ordered 13 diff colors, 11 matched just fine but the other two looked off. i wrote and he just said that it was a manufacturers picture. i would suggest to him if you mention it, that he update the photos with better color quality, or at least enlarge them so it may be more clear. that was that...no exchange for me on that order. good luck.

Well, I just got an email from Jesters Party Supply saying I had not yet paid for my luster dust. Thought I had, BUT...thought this was a great opportunity to ask him to substitute Red Red for the Cranberry Red, since Melysa says Cranberry is actually pink! He said no problem! I'm so excited...and highly recommend this eBay seller. icon_biggrin.gif
