What I've Been Melting #14

Hello there! 

I hope you're all having a great week! My parents are coming to visit me here in Virginia Beach from Cleveland this Sunday so I couldn't be more excited! I am so close to my family, so living ten hours away from them can be really tough sometimes. It's great beach weather here so I know they'll really enjoy themselves! I haven't posted What I've Been Melting in a while, so grab a snack, I have a lot to share!


Tiffany Candles: Cheesecake - On cold sniff this was a really great, creamy scent and it was true to that when melting too! This is the old wax, which I actually seem to like more. I added one cube of BH&G Wildberry Cheesecake and the combo was so amazing! 18 watt hot plate.

Kissing Booth: Slow Your Roll - I know I've reviewed this before and raved about it before, so I'll just say again that this is my FAVORITE bedtime scent. 18 watt hot plate.

Front Porch: Cookies & Cupcakes - I normally love all bakery scents from Angie, but this one was a dud to me. Very light, bland bakery scent on it's own. I won't give up on this quite yet though, I think it'll be a great blender. 20 watt light bulb warmer.

CFTKR: Italian Cookie Pie - I had been wanting to try this one for so long and it was worth the wait! A nice, flaky pastry bakery scent with the perfect amount of crunch in the scent. I love this one and I'm so glad I have an 8 ounce bag. 24 watt hot plate.

Ollie's Soaps: Caramel Apple - As amazing as this scent is, I'm feeling burned out on caramel apple/ apple bakery scents right now. I love green apple scents at the moment, but these types of scents are just not my thing at the moment! You know how our noses constantly change! 18 watt hot plate.


iheartwax: Pink Vanilla Mint - This is just as it sounds and it's GOOD! I melted one of Audra'a grubby tarts in my 18 watt hot plate and it was perfect for bedtime! Nice and strong, it was still lingering when I woke up. LOVE!

iheartwax: Serendipity Bubblegum - My all-time favorite scent from Audra. SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO strong! Lasts forever! The most harmonious blend - neither overpowers the other. I know I've reviewed this before, so I'll let the raving rest. AMAZING. 24 watt hot plate.

BH&G: Wild Berry Cheesecake - There will never be a time that I don't have this on hand - it's so good and a perfect blender! (Blended with Tiffany's Cheesecake) 

BH&G: Tropical Pina Colada - I've been trying realy hard to get into more tropical scents this summer but I'm just not there yet. Melted one cube in my 20 watt light bulb warmer and it was nice and strong! I normally love pineapple scents, I don't know what's up with my nose.


Front Porch: Lemon Bread - One of my favorite scents from Angie, it just never gets old! In fact I pretty much love all of her bread scents! 20 watt light bulb warmer. I'm so glad I have so many back-ups of these!

Front Porch (chunk muffin) Lemon Marshmallow & Cotton Candy Cookies - Oh holy hell, I need one of those big chunky loafs she has now in this blend! It's so strong and so mouth watering! Angie makes some of my favorite lemon scents, and this one blew me out of the water! You get mostly lemon marshmallow, but the cotton candy bakery adds the perfect sweetness. Melted about half of the chunky muffin my 24 watt hot plate.

CFTKR: Lemon Summer Cake - Can you tell I've been on a lemon kick lately? Another great lemon scent from Carol, who has my other favorite line of lemon bakery! An almost crisp lemon to this one. Really nice! 24 watt hot plate. 

CFTKR: Coconut Caramel Crunch Cake - One tart? Nothing in my 24 watt hot plate. Two tarts? BLEW. ME. AWAY. So strong! Not sure how much I love this scent, but it was nice for what it was - a sweet coconut bakery scent. 


Niki's Wax: Strawberry Vanilla Cookie - I melted about half of a chunky muffin in my 18 watt hot plate and I really didn't get much at all. I think the vanilla cookie was a such a light scent and there wasn't enough strawberry. I love it on cold sniff, so I'm going to try again with a different warmer!

CFTKR: Fresh Picked Strawberry's -  We call know how amazing this scent is and I've reviewed it quite a bit - so let's just assume it's as amazing as always, shall we? ;) 24 watt hot plate.

The Bathing Garden: Chic Summer - Good God this is just perfection! I can't rememeber all of what's in here, but all I get is a blend of berry goodness! So fresh, so juicy, SUCH a perfect fruity scent. I'll be ordering this is multiple clam shells in the future. 18 watt hot plate.

SGA: Gummy Bear Birthday - Seriously, doesn't just the sound of this blend seem like so much fun? I melted two fluted tarts in my 24 watt hot plate, and I gotta say I wish it had been stronger. You get the candy sweetness along with the bakery, just not as strong as I'd hoped for. 


Lemon Marshmallow Serendipity Bread - I was really sad with this one. First off, it wasn't soft AT ALL anymore, and I had to slice it, not scoop it. I was foolish though and still tried melting it in my 20 watt light bulb warmer. I'll review this again once I can get some scent from the right warmer.

BLEND: FP Amish Friendship Bread & Scentsationals Coffee Cake Swirl - HOLY BALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLZ this is the most amazing thing I've ever blended in my LIFE! I am obsessed with both of these scents, and together they morph into the beautiful, spicy, bready, buttery, bakery scent that made me almost cry when the scent faded. Even Jeff came home from work was said our apartment smelled amazing! YOU ALL MUST TRY THIS NOW!


 BLEND: SMT Butter Cookie & Scentsationals Strawberries & Cream - This was a simple blend and it did exactly what I wanted it to - smell just like a strawberry cookie! 18 watt hot plate. 

Scent Appeal: Peppermint Bark - Chocolate Peppermint scents are a weakness for me and Jeff at bedtime, and I enjoyed melted the last two cubes I had in my 18 watt hot plate. 

Heavenleigh Apothecary: Country Berry Corn Cakes - This scent just did not work for me. I don't like the corn note AT ALL, and it made the whole thing smell sour to my nose. Bleck. I melted all four little mini butterflies in my 24 watt hot plate. 

RG: Monster Cookie Noel - I'm trying really hard to like this one, I really, really am. On cold throw it's awesome, but I think the VBN mellowed this out way to much and this is my second time melting this and getting nothing. I'm sad. 24 watt hot plate.


FP: Show Me The Bunny - I'm not entirely crazy about this one, it smells like buttercream frosting to me. I'll be trying to blend this is the future for sure, it's almost sickeningly sweet to me. 20 watt light bulb warmer. 

CFTKR: Frosted Lime Cookie Snap - This is hands down one of my favorites if not my FAVORITE from Carol. It's freaking amazing. Tart lime bakery with a great amazing of bakery sweetness. I'm obsessed. And Carol stopped listing it. And I cried. Until the amazing Jacqui came to my rescue and gifted me a bag she still had. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! 

CFTKR: Coffee Ice Cream - I love Carol's coffee scents, and this is so nice, light and creamy. YUM! Enjoyed this one so much, melted in my 24 watt hot plate.

CFTKR: Iced Sugar Cookie - I've reviewed this one before as well, and we all know how great Carol's sugar cookie scents are. 24 watt hot plate.


RG: Purple Cow & Pink Sugar Type - This is one blend I never would have thought of! I loved the idea, however, when melted I felt like the pink sugar took over the grape and I didn't quite get what I had expected. Maybe a little more purple cow next time? 24 watt hot plate. 

Black Current Tea - This smelled like nothing. NOTHING. NOTHING. NOTHING. I was not happy. After about ten minutes it smelled like straight up wax. Ick.

Jmae's: Apple Toffee Crunch - I threw in both little pumpkin shapes in my 18 watt hot plate and man this blew me away! So strong! I love this scent so much, to me it's the perfect fall apple bakery scent! Lasted on and off for two whole days! LOVED! 

Ollie's: Jamaican Beach - Really nice tropical fruit scent, maybe dominant on pineapple and mango? Not sure, but it reminds me of a big, frosty fruity drink! Melted over half the cookie in my 24 watt hot plate.

Candles By Victoria: Granny's Pie Crust Candle - I melted this candle in my bathroom and dang did it make me mad! It just wouldn't burn evenly! I tried the foil method twice with no affect. Oh well. It still smelled pretty good. Not a great throw, but I could smell it.


FussAss McGee - Fairy Godmother - This had so much potential. A great pink sugar scent on cold throw, but when I melted this is my 18 watt hot plate - I got nothing unless I stuck my nose IN the warmer. Very sad. :(

S&S: Peanut Butter Banana Zucchini - Another gift from Jacqui, this is my very first peanut butter scent! It was soooo good! Smelled just like a toasted peanut butter sandwhich that I've loved eating since I was a kid! Lasted for THREE DAYS. THREE. in my 24 watt hot plate! I need more! ;)

S&S: Cinnabon Sugar Cookies - This isn't as strong as I have come to expect from Shanna, but her Cinnabon scent is so good, that even with a light/medium throw I loved it! 18 watt hot plate.

S&S: Lollipop Fruit Loops - This is Shanna's Lollipop Cake scent blended with fruit loops, and it was really nice - and strong! 24 watt hot plate.

HHS: Granma's Spiced Cranberry Zucchini - This very well may be my favorite thing I've melted this time around! It's so amazing. You get her famous granma's blend with the spiciness of the cranberry. It was to die for. It felt like Christmas in the Summer in my apartment and I loved it! Lasted for two days. TWO. When I order from HHS again, I'll be buying this in bulk. 24 watt hot plate.

Sweet Fixations: Lemon Noel - This was another really good one, an almost soothing lemon scent with the addition of the VBN. Really nice, I melted it my 24 watt hot plate and it threw like crazy!

LSC: Bear Claw - Nice, spicy, typical bear claw scent. Really rich, I melted it in my 18 watt hot plate and it filled up my bedroom and the hallway as well.



CFTKR -

Pineapple Cilantro - Yea I wasn't sure about this one to begin with, and I didn't really like it when melting. I need pineapple blended with something else for me to really enjoy it. 18 watt hot plate.

Jelly Filled Flapjacks - Yep, it's official. I need each and every jelly blend that Carol makes! SO GOOD! Her amazing Jelly Donut scent blended with her famous flapjack scent. What's not to fall head over heels for? 24 watt hot plate.

Blue Hawaiian - We all know how amazing this one is! ;) No need to explain! 18 watt hot plate.

Serendipity and Sugar Cookie - I need about three 8 ounce bags of this bad boy. So good. I love all of her serendipity blends, but mixed with her sugar cookie scent, it goes to a whole new level. 24 watt hot plate.

Serendipity Marshmallow Delight - I know I've reviewed this one in the past, but Jeff loves it and I do too! 24 watt hot plate.

Blackberry Jam Flapjacks - I was on a flapjacks kick last week, and this is a new favorite! You almost get a smell of blackberry syrup. 24 watt hot plate.

Strawberry Flapjacks - This one fell a little short for me, I just didn't feel like it was as strong as it could have been. 18 watt hot plate.


Kissing Booth: Candy Apple - Smelled like pretty much nothing. Wasn't impressed. 20 watt light bulb warmer. 

Front Porch: Lemon Satsuma - Holy cow this was strong! I love satsuma scents when blended and this was great! 20 watt light bulb warmer.

Niki's Wax: Bahama Fizz - This was a little sample of two squares and I'll tell you, they just weren't strong enough for me. Light berry scent. 24 watt hot plate.

Cupcake Candles: Lemon Peppermint Cookie Birthday Cake - I know I've reviewed this before, but I really love my custom blend and I'm sad I won't be ordering from this vendor anymore. Nice and strong pie tart! :( So sad. Bad CS ruins everything, I tell ya.

Have a great night, girls!
