Today I have an exciting wax haul for you all! I'm sharing with you all somethings I had the courtesy of getting from Vintage Chic Scents latest restock, Americana Dessert Collection, thanks to a friend. This is my first ever purchase from VCS and I'm stocked! I was able to snag a loaf, a 3 pack and a sampler rose quartet, so let's jump into this haul!
First thing's first, let's start off with the lovely samples I received in my order, which I love both of them!
The Spirit of Bob Hope is strawberry rhubarb pie topped with chantilly cream. Sanderson Sisters is green apple caramel candy corn marshmallow and it's my absolute favorite of the two samples I received. Both come in a 1oz cup and have gorgeous flecks on glitter on the top.
Next, I'll share the one lone 3 pack I was able to snag.
I'm here for weekly wax #8 and this week I decided to use some scents I recently chopped up from one of my favorite vendors. I had no real theme or idea behind this weeks picks since I'm moving on Friday. I just carried over the melts from week 7 and added the few I chopped up.
With my move coming up, I'm not able to do informative posts like I'd like to, so I just decided to post this video of my June wax empties without scent descriptions. Sorry you guys! I'll be back to my normal posts after July 17th!
I had a pretty good month of melting so I'm stoked for this months melts. What have you melted last months? Faves? Dislikes?
Today I'm sharing with you all a huge haul from Front Porch Candle. This is a combination of 3 orders totaling to 42 grubbies and 3 butterfly melts. I was too excited when I received this package in mail. Everything just smelled so amazing well. Front Porch is slowly making it's way into my top for vendor wax melts.
I have so many melts that I honestly couldn't type them all out in one sitting. The next haul will definitely have every single melt listed out. I may even update this one at a later date.
I'm here to share an order I received from Save Your Scentses back in May. I absolutely love this vendor. Save Your Scentses has soy melts that come in various sizes and shapes. The owner, Denise, recently (back in April/May) came out with her Sugar Skulls and I just had to grab a few of those beauties.
Pink Magnolia Blossom - perfect for the warming weather, this scent is a heavenly combination of light citrus fruit and blooming flower petals. Floral and feminine with just right amount of sweetness, pink is the perfect color for this fragrance!
Soft and Sweet - delicate blend of almond, milk, and honey for a smooth, soothing melting experience.
Tonight, I'm sharing with you my very first haul from New Moon Candles, which is owned by Nicole. I received this haul back in May and I'm just now uploading and sharing it with you all. New Moon Candles is a new company I heard about from two awesome YouTubers (Jody & Cortney). I am so happy I decided to give this vendor a try!
I ended up getting 3 of her samplers which were $10 USD each with free shipping. They all included 5 2oz scent shots. That is a GREAT deal!
New Moon Candles are para-soy wax melts and I definitely have enjoyed everything I got. I definitely can see me doing a second order!
I know I said in the previous weekly wax recap that I wouldn't be doing a weekly wax for this week or even next week, but I decided to dig in my collection and throw in some tarts for this week.
I really want to try and reduce the amount of wax I have because my storage for the move is extremely heavy which results in me needing a third bin to store everything (call me crazy). Hopefully this week and next week can do the trick (not)!
Today I'm sharing my weekly recap of the melts I've had in my bin for week six. This week was nothing special. I just got a lot of vendor melts as usual.
Today's haul is from Aldi and Goose Creek Candle. I finally got around to getting to my local Aldi and picked up a few of their melts. I also had to place another order with Goose Creek since they had a buy 10, get 10 free sale.
As usual, I am in love with Goose Creek because their waxes work wonders for me, especially in a low wattage warmer. I can never go wrong with melts from Goose Creek.
Aldi Tripe Pour Melts
Green - Sunshine, Fresh Rain & Green Meadows Blue - Peaceful Waters, Blue Skies & Endless Weekend Pink - Sweet Pea, Peony Petals & Plumeria Red - Peach, Cherry & Plum
Today I'm sharing my second order I've placed with Wilma's Handmade. If you haven't already, check out my first order. Wilma's Handmade has such phenomenal wax melts and bath products! I placed an order for 22 RTS (ready-to-ship) mini melt cups which are .8oz for $0.99 USD (the price has recently gone up on these). I'm clearly becoming obsessed with this vendor.
I'm sharing a haul that should have been up back in March. I went on vacation to visit my grandma and while we were down there we hit Walmart and the mall so naturally I just had to pick up a few goodies from Walmart and Yankee Candle. When I got back from my trip I also hit Yankee Candle after a job interview and Walmart within the same week or so.
Scentsy Samples
Black Raspberry Vanilla
Sea Salt & Mist
Pear Blossom & Cucumber
Today I'm here to share with you all my haul from Wonderberry Wax Co. I got this stuff back in February or March ... this was such a while ago. This is my first purchase ever from Wonderberry so I went and made a small order of 6 six packs which retailed for $4.50 USD each and they weigh about 4oz.
I was going to make a smaller order, but I just couldn't resist how cute these beauties sounded after reading the scent descriptions. I was shocked with how beautiful these were when they arrived. It did take about 6 weeks to arrive, but it was totally worth the wait!
Here's everything I got with scent descriptions:
FREEBIES
Blossom & Breeze - could not find scent description. It's a floral, clean scent. Beautiful Day - BBW type. Sun-kissed apples. daisies, and pink peonies
I'm way behind on sharing my wax hauls with you all, so I'm here to get back to it. Today I'm sharing my first order from Wilma's Handmade that I placed back in March. I absolutely enjoy this vendor so much! It's owned by Wendy and she has such a fabulous selection of RTS (ready-to-ship) and made to order items ranging from wax melts to body care and hair care.
For my first order, I placed a small one with her for some RTS mini melt cups which are only $0.99 which is freaking amazing. It's comes in a .8oz cup and it's good for one melt (or two if you plan to cut it to blend). I also got a 100 count of 3x4 polypropylene bags.
Here are the scents and scent descriptions of everything I got:
Round 6 of my weekly wax picks and I have a ton of vendor wax I want to melt through. I'm excited to see how many I get through and how they all melt for me.
Today I'm sharing weekly wax picks and I'm excited. A few are new scents, but others are scents that I've cut in half. I need to use this up because I'm moving in a few days and don't want to have half used melts. Lots of vendor picks for this week!
Time for my weekly recap! I pretty much enjoyed everything I melted this week. Not many disappointments which is always a plus. I'm happy I finally got around to melting a few of these scents.
Today I'm here to share my weekly wax picks for the 4th week. I am too excited to get into these melts! This week I have a lot more retail waxes that I want to use this week over vendor wax, so let's just see how it works out for me.
Recap for week 3 of my weekly wax is here! I'm ready to share all the awesome scents and my warm review on them. I had a pretty good week as far as melting and I'm ready to bring in week 4!
Scent Description:
A lovely blend of sugar and vanilla
ScentSationals says:
This sweet and fun fragrance mingles sugared lemon, apple and pineapple into a sweet heart of tropical punch and red currant. Sugar cane and vanilla bean in the base deliver a captivating finish.
Scent Description:
An invigorating blend of eucalyptus and jasmine
ScentSationals says:
Delight your senses in this fresh, invigorating blend as eucalyptus, lemon, lime and ginger mingle together with lavender, muguet and bergamot. Jasmine, balsam, ozone and vanilla provide the perfect finish.
Final Thoughts:
This was so yummy! I did have to melt 3-4 cubes at a time since they are half of the size of SS or BHG cubes, but this was a dream. Smelled like a true banana nut bread. Smelled amazing in the kitchen like I was baking.
Scent throw: 4☆ Longevity: 3☆
Overall rating: 3.5☆
Repurchase: I would purchase this over BHG Banana Bread Pudding (separate review to come) :)
Scent Description:
Creamy peanut butter, pure sugar cane, and whipped vanilla blend into light notes of fresh apple, candied tangerine, and lemon zest to create this rich, delectable treat.
Cold Sniff:
I immediately pick up on the sugar cane, vanilla and a hint of citrus. I also get a creamy note which I'm guessing is from the peanut butter.
Scent Description:
Enjoy an open air cafe in the heart of Paris with notes of citrus blossom, crushed violet leaves and herbaceous nuances of green leaves and thyme.
Cold Sniff:
Definitely pick up that citrus, violet and green leaves.
Scent Description:
A bounty of sweet fruit and citrus accords encounter floral counter notes with an exotic musk foundation. Certain to captivate your senses!
Cold Sniff:
Fruity perfume. Some people say it's a dupe for VS Love Spell
Scent Description:
Wind your way through the intricate texture and scents of Mystic Sands with an exotic blend of floral highlights of lavender and violet, and the spicy aromas of an eastern Mediterranean market.
Scent Description:
For the kid in all of us, we've created a marshmallow world for Christmas! This yummy fragrance will help you find happiness in a delightfully luscious and creamy soft concoction of marshmallow and vanilla. Indulge your sweet tooth and embrace everything that's sweet about the holidays.
Scent Description:
This flavorsome fragrance opens with a fruity blend of red berry, orange, mandarin and peach leading to a sweet, silky mix of whipped butter, vanilla and sugar for the ultimate delight.
Cold Sniff:
Smells just like fruity pebbles cereal. Yum!
Scent Description:
Our Hot Chocolate is deep, rich and filled with true cocoa goodness - perfect for warming your winter!
Cold Sniff:
This was so strong on cold sniff! Smells like freshly homemade hot chocolate with milk and whip cream. Literally blown away by how authentic it smelled!
Scent Description:
The very essence of clean, bright and delightfully-biting, Lemon Rind is a stunningly-accurate natural citrus scent. Ideal any place where freshness comes first.
Cold Sniff:
Reminds me of lemon heads and lemon drop candy. Sweet, citrusy and not overwhelming. If you do, however, sniff too long (bad idea) it will start to smell like a cleaner spray after some time.
Scent Description: Share this festive recipe of rolled sugar cutouts baked with buttery sweetness and frosted with creamy goodness. Pass the plate, please...
Cold Sniff: It smells creamy, buttery vanilla. There is nothing too unique about this scent that made me want to immediately melt it.
Scent Description
Brown sugar, vanilla bean and warm cinnamon accords embrace rich wood notes as a smoky inkling adds the perfect finish. Cozy Cabin is sure to give anyone a serious case of the snuggles.
Round 3 of my weekly wax begins today and I'm excited! I'm still using some of the melts I had from last week that I didn't get a chance to melt, but I also included a few more melts as well to try out this week.
Shall I write it down for you...I think so! The one's without an asterisk are from last weeks weekly wax.
Back again for a recap and this one is for my birthday week. Last week I turned 25 and decided to melt a bunch of scents that appealed to my girly side. I had such a blast going through some of these melts.
May is over and it's now time for me to share with you all my wax empties. I am very proud of how much wax I go through every month because I'm getting use out of my purchases and making room for new ones.
I enjoyed all but one scent for the month of May and that was Butter Cookie from Goose Creek. I couldn't stand the buttery note in it. It was just too dominate for me. Can't wait to see how June looks.
Back with my second weekly wax bin and this is the birthday edition! These are all melts that I want to use in honor of my coming 25th birthday on June 3rd. Lots of pink sugar and lavender bakery scents because I love those kind of scents.
I did go a little crazy with the amount of wax for this week and I don't expect to get through all of these, but since it's my birthday week I wanted options in scents I've been dying to try out and get use of. All of these are "new to me" scents so this week will be exciting.
Here's the list of wax melts I want to get some use out of for this week!
Today I am sharing my weekly wax recap with you all from my first weekly wax bin. I am so excited that I finally decided to go full force with a wax bin because I now get to use and enjoy all the scents I have without worrying about buying more. This is, in essence, a wax use it up project.
With this first Weekly Wax I was able to use a lot of my clamshells and vendor waxes. I'm excited to see so any of these become empties. Check out the video below:
Now let me give you some written details about how this past week went.
Today is the start of a new series I'll be doing. I have SOO much wax, that I really want to get through them and try the ones I haven't yet melted so after watching so many weekly wax videos I decided to start my own weekly wax bin -- or rather box.
This first weekly wax will last for two weeks, because I've picked out so many scents. I'll be doing a weekly wax recap on May 29th (maybe the 25th) and then posting my new weekly wax on May 30th (maybe the 26th) which will be in honor of my birthday week.
I am truly excited to get through some new melts and really start melting away my collection. Check out the video to see what I picked and/or read further for my information.
Here are all the melts I want to get through and my "goals" for each of them. Most of them I'll be using at least 2 melts/cubes. If I'm using more or less I'll state it.
I can't believe it's already May -- we are seriously half way done with the year. Time is flying by. I normally don't do wax empties on a monthly basis, but I've been melting a lot more -- like 2-4 scents on a daily basis between my bedroom and the kitchen and I've been burning candles in the bathroom.
I have both a written portion and video on my empties, so check out the video, read the post or do both!
Now, let's get to the written portion of this post!
Candles
I went through five candles this month which was pretty cool. I started off burning these in my bedroom, but then moved them to the bathroom after some time.
719 Walnut Avenue Country Market 5✮
BBW Paris Lavender Macaroon 5✮
BBW Happy Easter Cotton Candy Marshmallow 3.5✮
Mainstays Cotton Candy 3✮
Colonial Candle Cranberry Cosmo 5✮
Today I'm sharing another vendor wax haul. The vendor is Save Your Scentses which I found out about through Instagram. I got her 16 ct sampler because she had a special with free express shipping on a 12 or 16 ct sampler, so I took the plunge and got it to try out.
I am blown away by her scents! They all smell so amazing and yummy. I would totally recommend buying a sampler for yourself or as a gift for someone else. You wouldn't regret it at all. All the scents are randomly picked and you don't get the same scent in a sampler. GREAT DEAL!
Here are all the scents that I received in my sampler:
Freebies
Rose Bouquet - A step up from the same old boring rose scent. Smells like a bouquet of fresh-cut sweet roses, with just a touch of lily and marigold – a timeless favorite! Berries & Bubbly - Celebrate with this scent bursting with fresh cherry, strawberry, and a touch of citrus reminiscent of Sunday morning mimosas. Sweet and fizzy with just the right amount of 'kick! Nectarine & White Ginger - The newest addition to Save Your Scentses, this blend was inspired by a similar blend at a spa in Glastonbury, CT. Top notes of nectarine are the first noticed, with a touch of mandarin and peach, blending into middle notes of honeysuckle and jasmine, with a very light white ginger note to complete the blend.
Today I'm sharing my second wax haul from Goose Creek Candle. I am absolutely obsessed with Goose Creek because their wax melts work phenomenally for me. I've yet to be disappointed in their melts. When they had their buy 10, get 10 free deal I couldn't help, but snag a few up.
I did buy 12 new to me scents and then 8 repurchases. Some of these are going to be in a swap. Check out the video!
Here are the scents and their scent descriptions:
Repurchases
Peppermint - Sugary happiness with every bite. This true aroma is the perfect peppermint stick combined with sweet spun sugar and warm melted honey. Warm Wishes - Delicious aroma of freshly baked vanilla cake decorated with creamy vanilla frosting and topped with sprinkles and candles just waiting for warm wishes. Butter Cookie - The aroma of sugar cookies with bits of buttery toffee and vanilla cream baked to a delicious golden brown.
Today I'm sharing my ZeepBath orders with you all. I placed two orders because the scents were absolutely intriguing to me. I am definitely blown away with how awesome these smell on cold and how fantastic they smell when melted -- as well as the lasting power on these
My favorites of the bunch since I've melting them are: Bombshell, Miss Bell's Berry Sweet Tea, White Tea and Powder Puff. They are all delightful!
The 6 packs retailed for $4.50 and weighs approximately 4.2 oz. The huge hearts were $3.50 and weighed approximately 3.3 oz. The sampler was $10.50.
'Merican Cream - A scent of creamy vanilla shakes from the 1950s, composed of fresh strawberries, juicy oranges, golden honey, and sweet milk.
Hello my loves, Today I'm here to share with you all my second order from Wild Vine Soapery. I picked up a few more melt cups and shapes. Wild Vine Soapery is owned by Lindsey. Her products are not only affordable, but last a super long time! I absolutely love her shop.
This is the second restock I had the chance to take part in. I missed her recent restock March, but I will definitely be partaking in the next on April 18th. You should too!
Green Apple Jolly Rancher - $1.50 You know green apple is the best. This smells just like green apple jolly rancher candies. #bunnyallthethings
Today I'm sharing with you all my haul from Yankee Candle and BBW. I went to the mall to do an exchange on a few items from my previous Yankee Candle haul and to find the 4 meltcups I ordered online, but that weren't in stock. While at the mall I stumbled into BBW to check out some candles and they had White Barn connected to BBW and stocked to peak with tons of new and old scents.
I am totally excited about some of these scents and can't wait to fire them up! Check out the haul video below!
I have written down scent description for each scent, so check it out below!
Today I'm here to share with you all my first vendor wax purchase! I picked up a few melt cups and shapes from Wild Vine Soapery which is owned by Lindsey. I found out about her through Instagram and I totally loved her products! Wild Vine Soapery products are not only affordable, but last a super long time.
Along with getting my order, I also decided to pick up another back up of my favorite Kripsy Kreme Candle in Maple Iced Glazed -- I just love this scent! It throws amazingly well. I also decided to try out a few of the other scents as well: Dulce de Leche, Raspberry Filled and Original Glazed.
If you want to know my first impressions on cold sniff, check out my haul video down below!!!
Here are the scent descriptions for each scent I purchased:
Back to do another collab with the lovely ladies on YouTube -- Bev from Bevxoxolove and Katt from Katt's Candles. We did a collab on Wednesday sharing our top 5 spring candles, but this go around we are sharing our top 10 spring wax melts.
I have a nice mixture of wax melts to share with you all and two are sort of repeats since I shared their candle forms in the last post and video. These scents all just remind me of spring and prepare me for summer in a way too.
Below I have listed all the scents and their scent descriptions for your liking.
Today I'm doing a collab with two awesome ladies on YouTube -- Katt from Katt's Candles and Bev from Bevxoxolove. Check out their videos on YouTube! This is a collab in which we share our top 5 spring candles.
I decided to share my favorite 5 affordable candles for spring because I prefer the more affordable range of candles. I do have some "high end" candles, but I thought sharing these would be best. Check out my video below!
Below I have listed all the candles, their price range, where you can buy them and snippet of info on the them as well.
Once again, Candledancer's Candle Corner on Facebook made me do it. They shared a 50% off coupon in the group and I decided to dive in and try out Colonial Candle. I've many people rave about their scents and how clean their burns were on the candles. I've many mixed reviews on their simmer snaps aka wax melts. I wanted to try them for myself.
I had got a mix of sale items and full priced products to try out. Their glass tealights are 1 oz for $1.98 USD with a burn time of up to 8 hours. Their votives are 1.7 oz for $2 USD with a burn time of up to 17 hours. Their simmer snaps are 2.4oz for $4 USD and come with 6 cubes.
All I can say is that after smelling all of these on cold sniff I am highly impressed! I loved every single one with the exception of one scent. Check out the haul video below!
Below I have listed all the scents and their descriptions so you can read them for yourself.
Yesss, yesss. I know back to back wax hauls, but I'm slightly obsessed. Wax anonymous much? Any who, here's my first of three (hides face) Yankee Candle hauls. Thanks to Candledancer's Candle Corner and Scented Wax Retails groups on Facebook I've found a new liking for Yankee Candle.
Yankee Candle had their $1 tart and votive sale, but that was in store -- however they did have some type of online coupon code so I used it to try out some of their products. I got a total of 18 tarts and 8 votives.
Votives and tarts both retail for $1.99 USD each. The votives are said to give up to 15 hours of burn time and you get 1.75 oz (49 g) of product. Tarts have a fragrance life of up to 8 hours and you get 0.8 oz (22 g) of product. I think since the votives and tarts cost the same that the votives would be better off used as wax melts because you get double the product and can make anywhere from 2-4 "tarts" from one votive. I'll be using mine as tarts. Check out the haul video below!
I have listed all the items I got below with scent descriptions as well.
Soft Blanket - Wrapped in sweet dreams . . . a lullaby of clean citrus, luxurious vanilla and warm amber. Sun & Sand - A tropical beach breeze of sweet orange flower, lemony citrus, fresh lavender and powdery musk. Angel's Wings - Spirits rise on this beautiful, airy aroma of joyfully sweet spun sugar, heavenly sheer flower petals and divinely smooth vanilla. Wedding Day - Always in good taste . . . a sophisticated and soothing blend of florals and subtle fruits.
Thanks to Candledancer's Candle Corner on Facebook I have learned about a "new-to-me" candle company called Goose Creek. I've heard many things about their wax melts having phenomenal throws, scents and being very soft. They had a 40% off wax melts and 50% off candle sale, so I jumped on band wagon to try them out for myself.
I wanted to try out their wax melts because they normally retail for $4 USD, but paying $2.40 USD was a much better deal. You get 2.1 oz of products, 6 triangle melts and an approximate 50-80 hours depending on usage.
In total I purchased 16 wax melts and I must say I love them all with the exception of 3 scents which on cold sniff make me wonder why I purchased them. I have already melted one scent -- Vanilla Wonderland -- and will have a review coming soon on that scent. Check out my haul below!
Below is everything I got from my first Goose Creek order ever! Check these out on their website for yourself, you'll love them all!
Here to share yet another wax haul with you all. Went to Walmart to food shop, but ended up buying wax melts and a candle. You know how that goes. You go for one thing and come out with every other thing you didn't intend to buy. That wax section was calling my name.
Excited to try out these beauties and get some of these burning. Especially that Cotton Candy candle. On cold it smells freaking awesome, so hopefully it burns amazingly since it has so much oil on the top!
Below I listed all the items I got for those who are interested in purchasing them too.
Today I am sharing my Walmart and Walgreens wax haul. I purchased a few candles, a new warmer and a ton of melts. I was on the hunt for a new wax warmer that was anywhere between a 12 to 18 watt warmer because I have some wax melts that dissipate with scent to quickly in my 20 watt warmer.
Of course while in the wax aisle, I definitely had to grab a few melts -- obviously. I also heard about a buy one, get one free deal at Walgreens on Patriot Candle items that a subscriber mentioned so I definitely wanted to go snatch a few candles I've been eyeing for myself and my mother.
Below I listed all the items I purchased in case you are looking to find these scents for yourself.
