Ollie's Soaps haul #3

Hello there!

It's time again for another little Ollie's Soaps haul! I think it's funny that every single time I order from Ayano I always only order two things. I always seem to catch her open with less then ten things available and only two that I want. I love her wax so much, after I'm off my wax ban I'm making it my goal to place a larger order with her! Here's my tiny little haul.

Brandied Pear - Why don't I have more pear scents?! Seriously?! I remember loving that pear scent from Victoria's Secret so it's no surprise I love this scent as well. On cold these little bread pieces are STRONG! I just got these in the mail so I'll need to let them sure a little longer. I don't think I can wait LOL! SOOOOOOO good.

Raspberry Sangria - I'm so strange with all berry scents other than strawberry so it's always hit or miss with me when I try raspberry. I LOVE THIS ONE! This is the freshest, cleanest raspberry scent I've ever smelled. I will be snatching up this scent from Ayano every single time she stocks it. SO GOOD. 

Honey Bunny (freebie) - I'm just not a fan of this scent at all. I've smelled it from a few vendors now and it's just not for me. Too soapy. I'll pass this along to someone who likes this Lush dupe.

Iced Tea (freebie) - There's an almost floral note to this that I can't quite put my finger on. Not sure how I feel about it. I know that's how most tea  scents are. I'll have to melt it and see.

Have a great day, all!

Kissing Booth haul #2

Hello again!

Today I have my second haul from the Kissing Booth to share! I know her wax get mixed reviews, but I really love the ones I have and there were some that I regretted passing up on. I decided on getting another 5 pack bundle this time around and added two of her new tarts from the Mad Men collection as well. Here's what I got!

After Church: The Little Ones - This one is basically the reason that I wanted to place this order. What sounds more amazing then fruit punch and graham crackers?! This smells so good right now, and like her tarts always do - they get stronger with cure time!

Lana Banana - Jeff and I are big fans of American Horror Story and I love banana scents so this one was a no-brainer! Really great banana scent.

How cute is this clamshell?!

Peggy - This was supposed to be a blend of apple, green melon, citrus, and patchouli, but I don't get fruit notes. Just old lady perfume to be honest. I'm going to let this one cure, and I'll see if the other notes come out. As of now though, ew.

Sally - Now Sally is awesome! Fresh, fruity and citrus! I really like this one and I can't wait to melt this one.

Lime Jello Cake - This is every bit as amazing as I knew this was going to be! SO AWESOME! I love lime scents, and I wish I didn't have to let this one cure. AW-SOME!

Candy Apple (freebie) - This is a pretty generic apple scent that kind of melted in the mail.

So pretty!

Have a great day!

Front Porch haul(s) #5

Hey ladies!

Okay, okay. I lied. In my last Front Porch haul I posted I said I was cutting myself off from ordering more Front Porch since I drawer is jam-packed full. I fail. I'm cutting myself off from reading their emails, it's all I can do to stop myself LOL! Front Porch is one of my favorite vendors out there, and I just can't help myself. Here's what ordered over the past few weeks to share. Don't judge. :p

Berry Berry Good Buttercream & Lemonberry Crumble Chunk Tarts - These two beauties are the first time I'm finally trying their chunk tarts! I feel like either I wasn't digging the combos they had or all the good ones were always taken. Lemonberry Crumble is one of my favorite scents from FP so this was a no-brainer. These chunk tarts are also HUGE by the way! I think you get a bang for your buck. This smells fresh and fruity. 

Lemon Marshmallow & Cotton Candy Cookies - This is so awesome! If I ever see this chunk listed again, I'm snagging a few! Their lemon marshmallow is a little too light of a scent for me, but blended with cotton candy it really comes alive. LOVE LOVE LOVE.

Pink Lemonade - Who wouldn't want this scent to melt in the upcoming warm weather? This smells just like the real thing, and I love it! I used to have pink lemonade body products when I was younger, and this really brings me back.

Sweet Lavender Peppermint - Okay, now who could possibly pass up their two favorite bedtime scents blended together? Really kicking myself for not getting more. Self control, Dana. Self control.

Serendipity Cupcakes - I am obsessed with serendipity and FP's is one of the best. Add the bakery scent of cupcakes and this is a SCORE! I cannot wait to melt these. I can't tell you how much serendipity I've ordered lately. :D

Tea Sampler

Wild Cherry Tea - This is an awesome, strong cherry scent! I'm finding I really love cherry scents now, and this one is bangin'!

Iced Tea With Lemon - I already have a four pack of donuts in this one, so I think I'll be passing this one along in either a swap or RR. This is a great lemon tea scent!

Cinnamon Orange Tea - This is a nice, warm, orange tea scent. Really lovely, I can see myself melting this on a cold evening. :)

Mango Tea - This is such an awesome, fruity tea scent! As much as I love it, I'm passing this along to a friend who I know will love it!

Citrus Lavender Tea - I  don't know how I feel on this one, the citrus is very tart and I'm not sure how relaxing of a scent that would be. 

Vanilla Apple Tea - Wow this one is great! What a nice, fresh apple scent. LOVE LOVE LOVE.

Watermelon Mint Tea - Watermelon and mint I've learned go great together! 

Apricot Honey Almond Tea - This is my very first apricot scent and I really like it!

Anyone else get any great new FP?

Destash from Jacqui (AKA The Scholarly Nail)

Hello again!

Today I have destash that I ordered from the lovely Jacqui! I was so excited for everything in this box and was even more excited when I unboxed everything and got to sniffing! Thanks again for this amazing destash girl, I love everything! <3

Front Porch: Orange Pineapple Filled Cake - This is a really yummy one, I normally don't like orange scents, but I've found mixed with bakery notes I really enjoy them!

Front Porch: Buttercream Iced Orange Danish - Another great one! 

Front Porch: Mamma's Blueberry Cobbler - I've been obsessed with blueberry scents lately, and this is a really great, strong one. So good!

Front Porch: Cookies & Cupcakes - Another great bakery scent from Front Porch. Angie does bakery scents so well, and this one is nice and sweet!

Front Porch: County Fair - This one's pretty good, but I don't think I really love it. Cotton candy, candy apples and funnel cake I believe?

JLCCW: Yellow Brick Road & Funky Pink Monkey - Oh man this one has made me so excited to get my Autism Day order from JLCCW! This one is so yum!!! The lemon in here is so great. LOVE.

Sniff My Tarts: Pink Butter Cookie - I ADORE pink sugar bakery scents and this one is the BOMB! I overdid pink sugar back when I very first got into wax, but now my love for it is back in full swing! Huge chunk, can't wait to melt this one.

Sniff My Tarts: Honey Almond Cheesecake - This is one that I did like, but I think someone else might enjoy just a little bit more. I think it's the almond note that threw off my nose? I sent this off in a RR.

Ollie's Soaps: Pink Vanilla Butter Fudge - We all know how much I love Ollie's, so I was PUMPED to get this one! I heard Ayano's PVBF is great and everyone was right! So rich and good!

The Bathing Garden: Brown Sugar Cinnamon Donuts - Yum yum yum yum yum! What a great cinnamon bakery scent, I cannot wait to melt this one! Heavy cinnamon scents give me a headache, so I love that this one is lighter so I can melt this.

Little Kitchen Candles: Birthday Fruit Loops - I am beyond grateful that I have more LKC since they're not opening up ever again. :( This is a terrific scent, I'm a sucker for anything FL blended!

Tiffany Candles Scoopable: Vanilla Bean Noel - This is my very first full-sized scoopable and it smells fantastic! I love the glitters that are the top as well. I think this will be amazing not only as a blender, but great on its own.

CFTKR: Jelly Donut Cuttable - I love jelly donut scents, so I was excited to see this one. This donut is so adorable too, it has the glaze and all!

CFTKR: Sugar Cookie Fluff - Wowza this one is GREAT! Smells EXACTLY like a fresh baked sugar cookie, I'm in love! This will one I think I'll always try to keep in my collection. So good.

CFTKR: Lemon Noel Sugar Cookie - This is one of my favorite scents from any vendor of all time, so of course I jumped for joy that I have another bag. I could smell this all day every day!

CFTKR: Caramelized Banana Cake - Another great classic for me from Carol that I'm so excited to have more of! 

CFTKR: Sugar Cookie & Flapjacks - I have an obsession with Carol's flapjack scents so this one will not go unloved! 

CFTKR: Buttery Cake Bites - This one I'm just not sure about. I melted one tart, but I just don't think I like this very much warm. Way too buttery of a scent I think.

CFTKR: Blackberry Jam Butter Cookies - This is another one I was blown away by, this scent is great! I need to try BJBC from other vendors now!

CFTKR: Lemon Summer Cake - Lemon? Bakery? SOLD.

Little Kitchen Candles: Frosted Blueberry Biscuits - This is a unique blueberry scent, and I LOVE the Hello Kitty shapes! Jeff doesn't seem to like this one, and I think it's a little tart, but I still want try and melt this one.

OLC: Blueberry Zinger - THESE TARTS ARE HUGE! I MEAN HUUUUUUUUGE! I was blown away by the size, for real! This is a really nice blueberry scent.

Ten Digit Creations: Lemon Poppyseed Cake - You know me and lemon bakery. LOVE.

Sassy Girl Aroma: Gummy Bear Birthday - This is one of my favorite things in the whole dang box! SO GOOD! You get the sweetness of the gummy bears and the creaminess of the birthday cake. These little scallops are so strong little guys!

Rosegirls: Vanilla Streusel Coffee Cake - Gah this is fantastic. I really love coffee cake scents and I love the creaminess that vanilla lends to this blend. Such pretty chunks as well!

Rosegirls: Apple Puff Pumpkin Pie - This one is a funny story! I smelled this at Jacqui's house the last time we hung out and I told her I really didn't like it but now I love it! I'm going to blame the alcohol we were drinking LOL!

Tiffany Candles: Birthday Bash - I'm glad to have another scent shot of this, I'd been saving the one I had! A great blend of birthday cake and fruit loops.

Crabby Candle Co. - Pink Lemon Squares - This is a great lemon bakery scent, and I love how strong this is off cold sniff! Their little one ounce scent shots pack quite the punch!

Beezy Tarts: Key Lime Pie - Who can go wrong with a great, strong key lime pie scent? So great.

Nene's Kitchen Melts: Raspberry Zinger - This wasn't a favorite of mine, so I threw this into a RR.

Nene's Kitchen Melts: Cap'N Crunch Crunch Berries - This is such a fun scent and it smells like the real thing! Awesome!

Sugar & Spice: Pink Blueberry Cake Batter Ice Cream - Another blueberry blend? YES PLEASE!

Haley's Heavenly Scent: Granma's Amish Zucchini - I LOVE this one! Her granma blends are famous and now I know why! I have more on it's way to me right now! Cannot wait to melt this bad boy!

Butterfly Lane: Pink Wildberry Bread - This is the first time I've ever gotten anything from this vendor. Smells so yum, can't wait to see how it performs!

Shayz Scents: Pink Raspberry Macaroon - This one is pretty good, not really strong on cold sniff but I think it will come to life more on warm.

Shayz Scents: Doodle Cookies - This is a really nice bakery cookie scent.

OLC: Spiced Ginger Fluff - This is such a yum, spicy scent! This will be great to melt in the kitchen.

Lasting Scent Candles: Bear Claws - This is another great spicy bakery scent. I'm sure you all feel the same way, one can never have enough LSC!

Lasting Scent Candles: Vanilla Voo Doo - This is a really nice, smooth almost herbal vanilla scent. This will rock for a blender!

I got some great stuff, huh? :p

The Bathing Garden haul #3

Good morning!

Today I have my last order I placed from The Bathing Garden before shop got closed down for a while due to a family emergency. I since then have placed an order of about eight clam shells, but these are the two I ended with. When I ordered this she was offering a special cake clamshell for free for her birthday week. That didn't arrive, which I completely understand due to what she's going through. I did get two freebies, which is so generous since of her since there were only two that I wanted to order. (Everything else seemed to be floral-like spring scents which I'm not into.) Here's my teeny tiny haul! The bigger haul I'm posting this week, keep your eyes peeled! :)

Jack Frost: I couldn't pass up this peppermint and vanilla blend that I've heard so many good things about! I love to melt peppermint scents all year round, so this bad boy won't go wasted at all this spring! I love melting them at bedtime. Such a strong scent, LOVE IT!

Peach Hearts: What an awesome, fresh peach scent! The cheesecake adds a slight creaminess to it, but it still smells fresh as can be. I'm so excited to finally melt this one! 

Loo how pretty the iridescent glitter and the little poinsettia are!

Love the heart glitter she uses on some of her tarts!

Raspberry Hearts (freebie): This is the second time Shannon has scent this to me as a freebie, which is great since it smells amazing! Always glad to have more!

Top Layer Wildest Chick Tart (freebie): I think this little round tart with roses is a mixture of overpours. I can't place the scents exactly, I get a fruity scent - citrus/peach maybe? Smells pretty good!

I'm so happy Shannon is back around!

My very first Round Robin! (Rosalie's East Coast RR)

Hello again!

A little bit ago I received and participated in my very first Round Robin box! It was through a Facebook wax group, and I'm so grateful to the friend who hooked me up with both the wax group and the RR! I had SUCH a blast going through that huge box of wax and picking out what I wanted to take and put back in. I was like a kid in a candy store! Who also plays Tetris...LOL...it was a game to get it all to fit back into that large flat rate box. Here's what I chose to take out of the box

Sniff My Tarts: Sticky Marshmallow - I only own a few SMT chunks, and this will be my very first scent shot from them! Sticky Marshmallow smells great and will be a fantastic blender. 

Lasting Scent Candles: Apple Patch - A really nice, almost spicy fall-like apple scent. Really strong. I love LSC and I've been really into apple scents lately. 

Sugar & Spice: Pink Bananas - Jeff LOVED this one and I agree with him! I love S&S's banana scents and mixed with the pink sugar it's such a fresh candy-like scent. Smells so amazing!

Candles By Victoria: Neptune's Oasis - I normally steer clear of all perfume scents, but something about this scent is so nostalgic to me! I swear I used to wear a perfume or body spray that smelled like this when I was a teenager but I CANNOT FOR THE LIFE OF ME remember what it is! 

Kissing Booth: Fantasy - I was totally kicking myself for not getting this creamy berry beauty with my last KB order, so thank goodness it was in the box just waiting for me! I really like the KB from what I've melted so far and I can't wait to try this one out soon!

Little Kitchen Candles: Carnival - I'm so sad they're closing shop for good. I have a good amount now from destashes, but I would have loved to had placed one order from them. These little hearts smell AMAZING! I get caramel as a main note (caramel apple), funnel cake, cotton candy, and lots and lots of creaminess. 

Rosegirls: Cranberry Marshmallow, Orange Revival, & Celtic Moonspice - OMG this is a blend from HEAVEN! I tried to leave most RG in the box and I made sure to replace what I took but I just HAD to have this one! Such a STRONG spicy scent and I normally don't like really spicy ones. I think the orange and cranberry lend a great tartness to the Celtic moonspice that's just perfect. I cannot wait to melt this muffin! :p

Closet Full Of Wax: Amish Friendship Bread - AFB is one of the only bread scents I love and this one is great. I smell a chocolate note in there I really enjoy.

Rosegirls: Streuselkuchen - This is an amazing bakery scent I had been dying to try out! SOOOOOOOOO AMAZING. I'm melting this is weekend. Kicking myself for not getting this in my last order.

Long Cane Primitives: Spectacular Serendipity Zucchini Bread - Two great scents in one, I LOVE this blend! This is one of the item I'm most excited about melting!

Tiffany Candles: Lemonade - This was an easy no-brainer, really. A great, fresh lemon scent. A really strong fluted tart as well off cold sniff!

Sniff My Tarts: Butterscotch Brule Sticky Marshmallow - Oh goodness it took all my self control not to take both chunks LOL! SOOOOOOOOO rich, creamy, and amazing smelling. I die.

Front Porch: Lemon Bread - You know me and my lemon bakery. This was a no-brainer as well. Love the little loaf shape!!

Front Porch: Cotton Candy Cookies - A really great, sweet bakery candy-like scent.

Front Porch: Yummy Cake Batter - This smells exactly like cake batter, I love it! I will most definitely be ordering this in the future.

HHS: Loopy Ice Cream Cake - I just couldn't pass this up! The fruit loop scent has a nice creamy lightness added from the ice cream cake. Really good!

Happy Hippy Scents: Berry Lavender Lemon - This is a vendor I haven 't tried yet but had been dying to so I was so excited to see this in the box! (I really want to try their scoopable!) This is a nice, light(er), fresh scent that I think would be nice on a warm day. Can't wait to try this one!

CFTKR: Blueberry Whitecake - I was so happy to see CFTKR still in the box! This is a great blueberry bakery scent. 

CFTKR: Blackberry Jam Flapjacks - I love Carol's flapjack scents so much so this didn't stand a chance staying in the box with my around! YUM!

CFTKR: Apply Mango Tango - This is one I'd been wanting to try so I was so happy to see this one in there! Such a nice, fresh, almost clean fruity scent.

How do ya think I did?

Swap with Shelby Swatches

Good Morning!

Today I have a great swap I just did recently with the lovely Shelby of Shelby Swatches!  I had contacted Shelby that I wanted to share some my plentiful unused polish with her! You know how that story goes, it turned into a swap and wax got involved. :P She sent me such amazing stuff - the polishes were beyond generous on her part since that swap was my idea. I owe ya one, girl! Thanks for doing this swap with me Shelby, I love everything! Here's what she sent me!

The Scented Princess: Granny's Pie Crust - This is a really pretty scent shot, I love the cinnamon on top! This is a light bakery scent and I really love it! I have an order from TSP on it's way now, and this would be the first time I'm going to melt from Dawn!

Granny's Kountry Candles: Cinniminis - I was SO excited to see this one in here! I didn't have anything from GKC until now. I always try to order from them but I never find enough that I want to order. This little bad boy, however, smells fantastic! It's such a cute little iced cinnabon shape too. I think I'll need to reconsider an order! ;)

Granny's Kountry Candles: Vampire's Kiss - The one time I was contemplating an order I did have this berry scent in my cart! How did you know, Shelby?! :) Another one I'm excited to melt.

Sugar & Spice: Apple Butter & Caramel - I'm so into caramel apple scents right now, so this one is right up my alley! Can't wait to melt this bad boy.

Long Cane Primitives: Vanilla Pear - This is a nice, creamy pear scent. I like it!

Long Cane Primitives: Strawberry Patch - This is a nice artificial strawberry scent, nice & sweet. 

Little Kitchen Candles: Pink Sugar Cheesecake - I'm so happy to get some more LKC since they've closed up shop. Really, really great pink sugar scent with the creaminess of the cheesecake. Love!

Scent Appeal: Pink Malted Milk - I really like milk scents, but this one may be just a tad too sour for me. I won't judge too quickly, I'll have to smell it warm! I really enjoy Scent Appeal so I'm happy to try a new scent.

Butter London: Scoundrel - I was so excited to see this one! I love lavender/lilac polish and this one is sooooo pretty! Thank you, Shelby!

Essence: Off To Miami! - What a great coral creme! I'm thinking pedi!

Essence: Oh My Glitter! - What amazing shimmer! The shimmer shifts from pink to purple. Really, really pretty! I need to take a double take next time I see the Essence display!

Julep: Brit - This would be my very first Julep polish, so I'm really excited! Bonus? This gunmetal metallic is matte. So cool.

Ulta: Jaded - This is one I used to own a few years back, and I actually broke it so I was happy to see this one in here! How did she know? ;)

China Glaze: Peachy Keen - I don't own a lot of peach-toned polish, and I told her I was looking for more work appropriate polish. I've been looking to add more cremes, so all of these are perfect!

OPI: Dulce de Leche - What a nice dusty pink color! I'm already imagining adding glitter to it!

Orly: Bon Bon - This dusty purple pastel shade is JUST what I was looking for. So pretty, I think I'll be wearing this next time I paint my nails!

Essie: Da Bush - I remember really wanting this one a few years back! Awesome!

Essie: Movers & Shakers - A great pedicure color for sure! So pretty!

Wonder Beauty Products: Cosmic Princess - This beauty is actually on my nails right now as I type this! I love how delicate and subtle this dusty pale pink polish is with gold, pink, and blue glitter. I really love this one!

Pretty & Polished: Party On My Yacht - This one is so funny because I remember really like this one last summer (I was never really into indie polish, I was always so busy collecting vintage!) but every time I went to order it it was sold out. THANK YOU!

Smitten Polish: Moonbeam Dreams - Another awesome indie glitter! This one is a periwinkle purple LOADED with blue glitter. So awesome!

Ulta3: Orchid - I actually already have this one, but it's a great metallic purple indeed!

Sation: Gimme Jimi - This is SUCH a unique polish! Duochrome from purple to green, there's some sparse glitter in there as well. So cool!

Thanks again for everything, Shelby!
