Hello there, again!
Today I have my ninth installment of What I've Been Melting to share! I've been melting some really, really great stuff so I'm excited to show you. I hope you all had a great Memorial Day, I spent the day at the beach here in Virginia Beach. What better way? ;) Here we go!
Closet Full Of Wax: Caramel Latte - I've reviewed this one before, so I won't go into detail except to say that I still love this one SO SO much! Coffee scents are an obsession of mine, and this one is up there for sure! Melted one little coffee bean in my 18 watt hot plate.
Long Cane Primitives: Peach Funnel Cake - This is a pretty standard, okay peach blend. Nothing that really stood out in my mind to be honest. Melted in my 18 watt hot plate.
Heavenleigh Apothecary: Brownie Bites - I've also reviewed this one once before, but I had MUCH better luck with this in my 18 watt hot plate. This is the best chocolate scent I've ever smelled. AMAZING.
Granny's Kountry Candles: Cinniminis - I got this adorable little cinnamon bun shaped tart from Shelby in our swap and I was blown away! I've never tried much from Granny's to render an order, and once the summer is up I think it will be that time! The little guy was so strong in my 18 watt hot plate, and throw was equally matched. I need a bag of this. Two bags. Such a true to life cinnamon bakery smell, it reminds me of a country kitchen. LOVE!
Little Kitchen Candles: Sugar Cookie Dough Bread Zucchini - I got this in a destash, and one thing I love about destashes is that you get to try scents you would have never picked for yourself! This scent is so good! I love the dough-y scent from the SCDB and the slight spiciness of the zucchini bread. Throw was really great for this in my 24 watt hotpate, lasted a really long time! I wish they weren't closing. :(
Distinctly Pink: Oatmeal Raisin Cookies - I had added this to the Cinnimini once the scent started to fade. This is one of the teeniest little scent shots but I'll tell ya what - it added scent for a couple hours.
Front Porch: Marshmallow - I'm going to start by saying that I need about a dozen four packs of this for blending, along with every marshmallow blend once my wax ban is up. I cannot for the LIFE of me remember what I blended this with but I know I loved it so much!
CFTKR: Banana Caramel Cupcake - A truly fantastic banana scent from Carol, I love this one! Nice and creamy with the bakery note and the great banana scent. Nice and strong, lasted a good amount of time in my 24 watt hot plate.
CFTKR: Sugar Milk & Cookie - OMG OMG OMG, this is a hands down favorite ever from Carol, I'm in love with this one! I'm so happy that I ordered a large bag in my last order, and I will forever and ever have this in my stash! I love this scent so much, ladies. It's so calming. ;) Melted in my 24 watt hot plate. So strong, and lasted for quite a long time.
CFTKR: Strawberry Milk - Another hands down favorite from Carol, but then again all of Carol's strawberry scents are a favorite of mine. I've found I'm in love with milk scents as well. Melted in my 24 watt hot plate. I'm so happy I have a four ounce bag left!
Kissing Booth: Main Street - This one totally took me by surprise! I started off with two cubes in my 18 watt and got almost nothing. I added one more cube and WOW this was STRONG! Main Street is a blend of candy and popcorn. So good, so sweet! I love this one and I can't wait to melt the rest of this clam shell!
The Bathing Garden: Jack Frost - This is a simply perfect bedtime scent! Jack Frost is a blend of peppermint and vanilla. All you need is one cube and it filled my entire bedroom in my 18 watt hot plate.
Sniff My Tarts: Lemon Berry - OMG this is just a great lemon/berry blend! I love the berry in here, it's so sweet and strong! This one filled our apartment with my 24 watt hot plate. Really, really great!
Tiffany's: Lemonade - So I'm plotting my first ever Tiffany's order after my no buy is over, and I gotta tell ya it's going to involve lots of scoopables! I got this tart of Lemonade in a RR and I'm in love! Such a fresh, sweet lemonade scent. And STRONG too, this performed great in my 24 watt hot plate.
Closet Full Of Wax: Fruit Loops - I've reviewed this countless times. It's an all-time favorite of mine. Michele's FL scent is one of the best and strongest out there.
Tiffany Candles Scoopable: Vanilla Bean Noel - I had added some of this with Lemonade when the scent started to fade out a bit and it was GREAT! I VBN scents and this one is ON POINT!
Front Porch: Coffee & Cookies - What the heck took me so long to get a melting this bad boy is a mystery to me! The main note to me is a coffee one but the sweet bakery notes of the cookies add a great sweetness to this blend. I love this one so much, I'll always keep this in my stash! 18 watt hot plate, nice and strong.
VDC: English Toffee Coffee - This is the first thing I've ever melted from VDC and wowza was this one awesome! I've heard mixed reviews, but this was SOOOOO strong and smelled mouth watering! I'm addicted to coffee scents, and this is one of the strongest I've melted yet. YUM! 24 watt hot plate.
CFTKR: Peppermint Cake Bites - I hate to say this, but this was a dud from Carol. On cold sniff I was blown away, in fact I had been hoarding it since I only had one. I got absolutely nothing in my 18 watt hot plate. So sad.
CFTKR: Cinnamon Spice Cake - *sigh* Once again, I hate to do this, but this was a dud as well. I got nothing once again. Makes me really, really, really sad.
Combo: The Scented Princess Birthday Cake VBN & Buttercream and Closet Full Of Wax: Hot Cocoa - This combo was great, but TSP really overpowered the little teddy shape from CFoW. Nice and creamy bakery scent. Medium throw in my 24 watt. Really nice!
CFTKR: Banana Nut Bread - I really love and enjoy Carol's banana scents, and I love the nuttiness this one has to make it smell like actual banana nut bread! I melted this in my 24 watt hot plate, but I honestly wished this was stronger. I got a medium throw, but it fizzled too quickly for my taste. Really nice scent though.
JLCCW: Apple Butterscotch Cake - HOLY BALLZ this one blew me AWAY! I don't know where exactly to start to express my love for this scent! The apple? So strong and fresh - the BEST apple scent I've ever tried. EVER. The creamy butterscotch? Adds to the amazing-ness! This bad boy was strong as can be in my 18 watt hot plate. Lasted on and off for two days. I want to keep this wrapper so I can remember how much I love this for when she reopens. <3 <3 <3
iheartwax: Pink Marshmallow Fruity Loops - This was a beautiful chunk of pink and purple - one of those beautiful chunks you're so sad to melt cause it's so pretty! I got this chunk waaaaaay back when Audra first started testing out chunks - so this isn't the super strong scent throw I'm used to but it's still a medium throw. I am melting this right now actually, and I ended up throwing in the other half. Really nice scent, melted in my 24 watt hotplate.
Front Porch: Blueberry Fruit Loops - I've had this one before, and I remembered liking it - now I know why! I adore FP's blueberry scent, add FL and I'm set! This was one of the stronger FP grubbies I have ever melted! I used my 18 watt hot plate in my bedroom and it traveled throughout my entire apartment.
The Bathing Garden: Frosted Pumpkin - I know I've reviewed this before, but it's still an amazing strong pumpkin scent and remains one of my favorites! Added bonus? One cube is all you need! Bummer? I only have two left. :( 18 watt hot plate.
CFTKR: Pink Sugar Key Lime Pie - This is from my most recent order with Carol. I don't love this blend, and I don't hate it. There's a weird perfume-y note in here that alters both the KLP and PS for me. I melted it until the scent was gone and I'll melt it again, it just wasn't what I had expected. 24 watt hot plate.
Closet Full Of Wax: Jamaican Me Crazy Scoopable sample - This was a cool idea from Michele. A nice tropical smell, but it lasted only a few hours. Not much else to say.
Distinctly Pink: Coconut Cream Marshmallow - This was such a pleasant surprise for me! On cold throw this was a very light scent, but when I melted it in my 18 watt hot plate it came to life! I smelled popcorn in this I swear - which is great since I love popcorn scents.
Closet Full Of Wax: Bedtime Bath - A great dupe of the Johnson & Johnson popular scent. Really great, melted in my 18 watt hot plate and loved it before I went to bed! Michele does three scents right for me - coffee scents, bedtime bath, and fruit loops.
Sugar & Spice: Pink Blueberry Cake Batter Ice cream - This is yet another home run from Shanna, and her wax is becoming a hands down favorite of mine. You get mainly the pink sugar, but the blueberry was definitely in there. SO STRONG in my 24 watt hot plate, lasted an entire day! :)
Lasting Scent Candles: Apple Patch - I had taken this out of a RR and the oils were starting to seep through, so I thought it was time to melt. Eh. I don't like the combo of the apple and spices in here, it's a awkward blend to me nose. It was medium throw in my 24 watt hot plate.
Have a great day, all!
