My long-awaited Pics, Petals & Scents haul(s)

I placed couple of orders with PPS on February 7th and February 17th and just got them within the past few weeks (from end of May to mid June that is). To be honest I am not the patient kind of person who will not feel stupid waiting 4 months or so for a wax order. But I just love a few of PPS scents so much that I was just sitting those orders out. 
I would not order again though if she´s that swamped. I was getting a bit annoyed during the waiting time as several people got add-ons to their orders which slowed down the TAT for everyone else. At some point the vendor announced that she´ll not accept more add-ons (after some people complained about that lol...me included). 

Anyway, unfortunately the 2nd box was so sloppily packed that all of my bunny heads (which I actually had ordered to use as my Easter decor lol) arrived in crumbs. I brought this to the vendor´s attention but only got "awww...I am sorry, stupid USPS" kinda excuse. To be honest that was unprofessional. After all... if I order wax in a specific shape (and you buy 1 piece at a time) I want that shape for a reason. I like displaying pretty tarts and it´s not ok to shove the products in a box without any kind of padding and then not make amends when due. Now I guess I can only melt my rabbit heads (which is the usual destiny for tarts anyway) but I would have liked if I at least would have been offered a refund or replacement. I was waiting and looking forward to my bunny heads for 4 months so I should expect them to arrive in pristine condition. I wouldn´t complain if they were melted as this is not in the sellers´s hands but they were just shattered and good packaging was the sellers´s responsibility for sure.
Also to stay informed about the status of my order I had to inquire several times =/

Anyway, most stuff smells amazing. I don´t like the Pink  Buttercream Cupcake scent though, it smells like straight up vomit =( 

So overall great stuff as always. I got a bunch of really nice samples, too! But the shopping experience as a whole was a disappointment.

Loaves are in Lemon Frosted Birthday Cake and Lemon Frosted Birthday Cake/Serendipity.

Couple recent (colorful) Granny´s Kountry Candles hauls

I am subscribed to the monthly wax sampler from GKC which means I am getting all her Scents of the Month shipped to me automatically. Typically there are 14 scents in the line and it costs US$10/month (you subscribe for 3 months) incl. shipping which is a steal for (14) 1.5 ounce tarts! 
So here is my shipment of the March (!!) SOTM tarts that I received back in ...yes..March lol..and another order I placed a bit later. At that time the scent shots came packaged in those gorgeous colorful candy wrappers ...Wendy played around a lot with labels and wrapping materials for her scent shots and now they´ll only come in cello bags. I like the colorful foil better though =X
I couldn´t resist those huge cute candles either lol

The Bathing Garden haul

The Bathing Garden got so extremely popular it is hard to get ahold of anything these days. As soon as she lists new stock it´s wiped clean pretty much within a few hours. 
I placed this order in March and just didn´t get around to posting about it. Most of the new blends are really yummy and her quality is never slacking no matter how busy she is.

Haley´s Heavenly Scents haul

HHS has quickly become one of my top favorite vendors. Her tarts come in an amazing variety of scents and blends, you can pick cute shapes, TAT is very considerable and her prices are affordable. As of now you get free shipping with orders of $50 or more and also receive up to 4 free 6-packs of your choice depending on the order value.
The scent throw is great-amazing on the majority of her tarts and her granma blends (a very creamy zucchini bread) are the best and something I constantly seem to reach for.
Overall, highly recommended! Janet is doing her tarts now as full-time job so be sure to order and support her (and great tarts in return!). <3

I got couple of cute warmers from her recently, along with 3 sampler packs (granmas blends, pink blends, fresh scents) and 3 free 6-packs of my choice.
I just placed another order a few days ago and just won her sampler giveaway, yay! Can´t wait for my next order to come!
 
 
 

Small Tiffany Candles haul

I had really general bad luck with my previous tart purchases from Tiffany Candles as most (but not all) tarts had a very light to non-existent throw. That was just before she changed to her new paraffin wax blend though as she was not happy with her old wax either.
Anyways, I heard and watched praise reviews for her new scoopable whipped wax so I decided to pick up a few in my favorite scents from TC respectively with a new serendipity blend she came up with recently!

I am very happy with these jars of whipped wax, they´re really awesome, have a strong throw and go a pretty long way. 
I definitely would recommend this product without any hesitation!

2 recent CFTKR hauls

Before Carol closed her site for her yearly checkups and restocks I placed couple of orders. Her tarts are just among my faves and her line of scents is extremely extensive. 
I forgot to take individual pics of the items in order 2 except for the freebies =X
