Daily wax melts January 5th 2013

-OMG Candles Pink Sugar Buttermint in the bedroom (24W hot plate). I just love this scent, it´s one of my favorite peppermint scents. However this was very weak. I got this in a destash box and I feel that these tarts might be older so I ended up popping all 5 in over time as the scent was not nearly as strong as I like it. A pity but I might see if I can order this again as a fresh batch might perform better.

-Jaimie Lauren Cupcakery & Confections in Wax in Vanilla Pear in the 2nd floor (tealight). I got a light sweet creamy pear note. I am not a fan of pear scents though so I didn´t relight the tealight after 4 hours.

-The Bathing Garden Lemon Cheesecake (last 2 cubes) in the first floor (25W lightbulb). I got barely any throw even though this was such a delicious scent on cold sniff. I ordered another of this to see if it might be stronger.

-The Bathing Garden Tea Cake in the kitchen (tealight). I was in a tea mood so I melted 3 tea scents in the ground floor. This was a very sweet almond cake and tea scent and it was almost a bit sickening as it was really sweet but nonetheless it was a good strong scent. I used 2 cubes.

-Iced Tea and Lemon in the living room (24W hot plate). A sweetened black tea with lemon scent that was pretty strong and long-lasting. I really liked this a lot!

-CFTKR Tea & Cake in the living room (24W hot plate). This was another strong super sweet tea scent with a bakery note. It was similar to the TBG one but didn´t have as much of that almond note. Good throw and decent lasting power.

Facebook Destash Haul

I recently purchased a destash from a Facebook buddy in one of my wax groups =) It was not a pre-selected destash box but rather I got to choose the products I wanted. I am not usually doing a lot of destash packages anymore as most of the time I got disappointing products that were old, or not correctly labeled (I hate that!) or repackaged (hate that, too! I am totally OCD when it comes to original packaging) but I purchased from this girl before and her stuff has been in great condition.

So here is what I got:

Daily wax melts October 16th 2012

-OMG! Candles Pink Sugar Buttermint in my bedroom (24W hot plate). This was really lovely. A pink sugar peppermint blend but it was somehow fresher than some other pink peppermint scents I tried. Staying power was good, about 6 hrs maybe. I used one tart which was perfect for my bedroom but for my living room or 1st floor I´d use 2.

-CFTKR Nectarine Mint in my first floor (24W hot plate warmer). This was an awesome fruity scent with a fresh kick coming from the mint. This was really strong and it lasted really long (pretty much all day long!)

-The Bathing Garden random overpour sample in my kitchen (tealight warmer). I got no scent out of this which is so weird as normally almost all TBG performs nicely. 

-Ye Olde Candle Cubbard Sugar Cookie Zucchini Bread in my living room (24W hot plate). I used a whole loaf (I think 2-3 oz) and got a light-medium throw so I really have to say for me YOCC just has weak tarts as I had no luck with any except Pink Kaleidoscope (and even that one is still too light). I think I´ll try to melt up my stash using 2 pcs at a time. But I loved the scent, it was a sweet creamy zucchini bread blend.

-Nellie´s Acres Blueberry Cupcakes in my living room (24W hot plate). This was a pretty blueberry scent, one of the best ones I tried so far as often I am not a fan of blueberries. These cupcakes are so soft and mushy and they arrived already in a messy condition. I really enjoyed this one though and it was going strong most of the day long.
