Daily wax melts April 8th 2013

-Ollie´s Soaps Eucalyptus Spearmint in the bedroom (2 chill pills, 24W hot plate). A good standard cologne-y bedroom scent. Had a good strong throw and good lasting power!

-Granny´s Kountry Candles Windowpane in the first floor (24W hot plate). I can´t remember this scent at all. I do believe it was very light and unremarkable

-The Bathing Garden Apple Hearts in the kitchen (tea light). I just love this scent, it´s awesome! Tart green apple with a super sweet caramel and marshmallow or something along those lines. I normally can´t do apple but I love this blend! Strong throw, awesome staying power!

-IHeartwax Strawberry Serendipity in the living room (tea light). Another amazing blend from IHeartWax. I am not a strawberry person for the most part but this scent was great, threw well and lasted through a whole 8-hour tealight.

-BSF Blueberry Zucchini Bread in the living room (24W hot plate). I love my BSF loaves. They are made of a harder wax but with a soap cutter these are a breeze to cut. I sliced of a nice sliver and the scent was fantastic. Did I mention I don´t usually dig blueberry scents too much either? Haha! This was great and strong and I am happy I got that whole loaf!

-Lil´Kitchen Candles Waffle Cone Serendipity in the living room (24W hot plate). This was a very sweet scent I really enjoyed. For the size of the cookie the throw could´ve been a bit better though.
LKC closed her shop for good due to health problems of her kids. I am really sorry that we can´t purchase her beautiful wax anymore but I still have a big stash to hold me over for a long time (especially those loaves!). I wish her all the best for her future endeavors!

-Heavenleigh Apothecary Pink Sugar Vanilla Bean Noel in the bedroom (ended up being the whole clamshell, 24W hot plate). I first put 2 cubes and got nothing, added 2 more and the scent was light and after 2 more it was decent. The blend was really nice but it was just way too weak.

-CFTKR Floridian Dreams in the first floor (24W hot plate). I truly enjoyed this medium strong tropical citrus blend. Lasted really well but started to smell really off when the scent was gone (after about 6-7 hours).

-Ollie´s Soaps Neapolitan Ice Cream in the kitchen (tea light, 3-4 scoops). This was super strong and wafted through my whole house. It smelled so authentic! I could smell the soft ice-cream-drenched wafer with vanilla, chocolate and strawberry ice cream scoops. Awesome!

-Front Porch Serendipity Cupcakes (2 tarts) in the living room (24W hot plate). This had almost no throw which was a shame as it was soooo delicious on cold throw and I actually had requested the scent for a while. =/

-Beaux Savons Frais Serendipity, Ice Cream Scoop Bread and Loopy Lemon Cream Noel in the living room (24W hot plate). This was a good scent..the Loopy Lemon Cream Noel was pretty non-existent in the blend as it was such a tiny sample tart but the ice cream scoop bread serendipity smelled awesome. Medium throw and good lasting power.

-Heavenleigh Apothecary Lavender Silk in the bedroom (24W hot plate). One of my favorite lavender scents. It´s such an awesome balance of sweet yet herbal  mixed with a creamy note. It was strong and lasted all day long.

-Ollie´s Soaps Raspberry Lemonade in the first floor (2 tarts, 24W hot plate). A good tart lemon with sweet raspberries. This was not that strong though, about light-medium I´d say.

-Scentsationals Santa´s Sugar Cookies in the kitchen (2 cubes, tea light). This was soo good  as it smelled exactly like the cupcake and frosted sugar cookie scents from Scentsationals. Had a good throw and lasted really well.

-Happy Hippy Scents Free Bird Serendipity in the living room (tea light). Free Bird is Pink Funnel Cake and this one was a yummy one (none of those cinnamon-strong ones even though I like those as well), very creamy and it blended nicely with the serendipity. The throw however was a bit weak but I could only use a spoon full as I used a small tea light warmer.

-Sassy Girl Aroma Loopy Serendipity in the living room (24W hot plate, 2 tarts). A good blend of serendipity and fruit loops. To my delight this is rather balanced without the fruit loops overtaking the scent. It was medium strong and lasted really well.

-Lil´Kitchen Candles 16 Candles in the living room (24W hot plate, 8 hearts). This sweet blend of birthday cake (with something sweet...maybe cotton candy?) was really good but not that strong (medium I´d say). It lasted about 6-7 hours which was pretty good.

Couple recent Ollie´s Soaps hauls

Via Youtube reviews I got to know a new vendor on Etsy called Ollie´s Soaps. I love her cute shapes and so far most of what I melted was good (albeit not super strong). Her blends are really nice! Right now she´s only working on a RTS basis and restocks her shop every now and then.
