Scoopable Wax Comparsion Part 2

Hey, long time no see =) I am super busy and didn´t find quite the time to blog. I also feel the daily melts were getting too time-consuming (mainly the picking out tarts and taking pics part of them...yea I know I am lazy). Anyways, I thought of doing a 2nd part to the scoopable wax comparison post as I got quite a bunch more =)

Part 1 is here!



-Beaux Savons Frais Whiff Whips in Loopy Lemon Cream Noel. 

Texture: A very soft and sticky dense wax. Adheres to the spoon so it´s not that easy to handle unless using 2 spoons and a tissue to wipe them clean afterwards
Scoopability: This scoops very easily with a plastic or metal spoon 
Container: This comes in a heavy glass jar with screw-on lid... I´d prefer a PP jar but on the other hand glass is 100% tart safe whereas many plastic containers can interfere with the scent
Messiness: This kind of wax does not create any crumbles and is totally un-messy except for the spoon as it tends to stick to them
Throw: The throw on this patricular scent is very good, about medium I´d say, and this is one of my top favorite scents from any vendor. =)
Value for Money: The jar contains 16 oz of wax for US$15.49 (+ Shipping...free shipping orders US$50+)
Repurchase? Yes I would definitely repurchase this and try other scents as well!
Extras: I got my jar as a freebie with the purchase of US$150 worth of BSF´s overpour wax bricks. Her store is closed until June 29th, 11:00 AM CST.

Overall rating: 4/5



-Front Porch New Softer Scoopable Wax in Lemon Mallow Cupcakes. 

Texture: A very soft and sticky dense wax. What fascinates me about this wax is that it does not stick to the (plastic) spoon I used to scoop this..It glided right off which was awesome and really unexpected
Scoopability: This scoops super easily with a plastic or metal spoon 
Container: This comes in a heavy glass jar with screw-on lid... I´d prefer a PP jar but on the other hand glass is 100% tart safe whereas many plastic containers can interfere with the scent
Messiness: This kind of wax does not create any crumbles and is totally un-messy IMO
Throw: The throw on this patricular scent is very good, about medium-strong I´d say. An awesome creamy rich bakery lemon scent
Value for Money: The jar contains 16 oz of wax for US$17.50 incl. shipping. That isn´t bad at all IMO as shipping is included and a little goes a long way
Repurchase? Yes I would definitely repurchase this and try other scents as well!
Extras: This is FP´s new version of their scoopable wax. It is definitely a lot softer. I like the old version as well but the new one is definitely easier to handle. It seems that the new formula isn´t all that popular with the FP fans so the old is going to make a re-apperance as "Shaveable" wax.

Overall rating: 4.5/5



-Pics, Petals & Scents Scoopable Wax in Lemon Ice Tea. 

Texture: A pretty soft yet firm wax.
Scoopability: This scoops easily with a plastic or metal spoon but is a tad bit sticky.
Container: This comes in a plastic container ("3") with a screw-on lid. The lids seem to come loose easily during transport as all my containers arrived open. 
Messiness: This is not very messy but a few small crumbs were flying around
Throw: I got a light-medium throw out of the few scents I melted 
Value for Money: The jar contains 12 oz of wax for US$12 plus shipping. 
Repurchase? Yes I might... I would probably buy Serendipity Frosted Lemon Bday Cake and my other top fave scents. But only if the TAT is in any regular limits (see below)
Extras: Currently this vendor only offers RTS stock. I waited about 4 months for my order, too, which is so darn crazy! =(

Overall rating: 3/5



-Closet Full of Wax Whipped Wax in Serendipity Birthday Cake. 

Texture: A pretty soft yet firm wax.
Scoopability: This scoops really easily with a plastic or metal spoon but it is a bit sticky and needs a 2nd spoon to get this wax into the warmer bowl.
Container: This comes in a plastic container ("3") with a screw-on lid.
Messiness: This is not messy at all...I had only very few minor crumbs. 
Throw: This has a great throw! I can smell the rich bday cake with serendipity through my living room!
Value for Money: The jar contains 12 oz of wax for US$13.50 plus shipping. (I paid US$12.49 for mine a few months ago but seem the price went up slightly)
Repurchase? Yes, absolutely!
Extras: I love the blending option! You can choose up to 2 scents to create your own blend. TAT is crazy fast, 24-48 hours and that includes custom orders!)..oh and I love that hot pink color!!

Overall rating: 4.5/5



-Up the Creek Scents Whipped Soy Melt in Lemon Marshmallow Serendipity Bread. 

TextureA very weird dry crumbly kind of wax.
ScoopabilityThis scoops with a lot of effort only. I definitely recommend a metal spoon to handle this product
ContainerThis comes in a sturdy plastic container with a very thin plastic lid (as in flimsy. same material as with the small scent shots...).
Messiness: This is really messy... I had crumbs everywhere lol
Throw: This has a great throw! It´s a very delicious scent and it really is strong!
Value for Money: The weight is not written, but I guess between 6-8 oz.... A jar costs US$5 which is an awesome price! (Add shipping)
Repurchase: Yes I would, even though it´s a bit messy. The throw and scent are amazing and that´s what matters most! And the price is awesome, too!
Extras: This vendor is closed for the summer (except for spray orders.

Overall rating: 3.5/5






-Niki´s Wax Scoopable Wax Melt in Guava Lime Margarita. 

Texture: A very soft sticky wax
Scoopability This scoops really easily but has the tendency to stick to the spoon a little.
ContainerAt the time I ordered it came in the kind of deli container you might use for salads on the go. I believe she will be offering this product in a more sturdy container in the future. In ordered 3 scoopables and all had cracks in their lids and the lids won´t stay on too well either.
Messiness: This is not that messy...a bit sticky but there were no crumbs from scooping this out
Throw: This has an amazing throw! It´s a very delicious scent and it really is very strong!
Value for Money: 7 oz cost US$6.75 plus shipping but the new version (as in new jar) will cost a bit more I believe
Repurchase: Yes I would repurchase and also try more of the other scents (I have 2 more scents already though). Niki´s Wax has performed amazingly for me in general and her fruity/summery scents are the best!
Extras: This vendor has an Etsy shop and only adds RTS stock from time to time. I recommend being a part of her Facebook group to find out when new stock is listed!

Overall rating: 4.5/5
