Wahm's Scented Wax haul and review

(Links removed due to company closure)
Tat: super fast for made to order
Overall impression: Made of win!

I stumbled on this company completely by accident - won't you join me in this journey of a new (to me) tart maker?

First I have to say, I was blown away at the cold scent throw these gave -through- all the stuffing and wrapping. It left me quite speechless before I even saw or sniffed everything.



Mmmmmmm YUM! Smell that? Get a good whiff! And just look at the way she has packaged everything, so cheery an bright! I love it!



I spotted the souffle cups first, so reached for those.
Vanilla Berry Mocha - This smells like heaven! (just like its name) The berries, I believe are raspberries, and the coffee in this...omg! It smells like a fresh latte from starbucks - nothing artificial about this. I could totally drink it if it was liquid.

Banana Bread Pudding - A hint of cinnamon, a touch of yeast, and a little banana. Very yummy scent!
If these throw hot like they do cold, I will be a loyal customer for as long as I melt wax. Yep, these two little teeny cups were that impressive to me.



These were all freebies:
Ocean Breeze (frosted cookie, too cute!)- I keep saying I don't like fresh, ozone, or clean smells but I keep finding more of those types of scents that I DO like. So there must be variation within those scent groups. This one, I do like. Its a nice soft, calming oceanic scent.

Butter Pecan Ice Cream - A whole scoop! This certainly smells just like the real thing! Buttery, Vanilla and pecans. And just look how cute!

Pink Strawberry Shake - omg heaven in a tart, strawberries, pink sugar, vanilla shake -- really what could be better? Its a scalloped cute tart, she layered it with red white and blue for july 4th. :)



More frosted cookies, yay!
Pink Sugar Noel - why have I waited so long to order this scent from any tart maker? someone bop me over the head! I absolutely love it!

Coffee Noel - How could I resist this? It also has the wonderfully realistic just made latte scent along with vbn. And just look how cute they are! NOM!



Now for the really special shaped tarts -- PIES!


This one is Banana Berry Zucchini Bread and lemme tell ya, it is made of win. Four layered slices decorated with candies and little wax spheres and the scent, to DIE for! Its a nice sweet banana, berries and Zucchini bread. Its blended in a way that the scents are very well balanced.



Divine Cake - Yummy white cake laced with traces of marshmallow fluff, sweetened raspberries and strawberries, topped off with a delicious buttercream frosting.
~~ Just like its name, its divine! This is a close your eyes and take a huge whiff kind of scent. :)



And lastly, Raspberry Chocolate Chip Ice Cream. Now this one smells just like bittersweet chocolate covered raspberries taste, I kid you not. No plastic or fake fruits here. I absolutely love this one too.

And the family photo:
Those colors in the background is the tissue paper from the box. I ironed and folded it for reuse.


Julie included a hand written note, a typed out thank you note, a business card and a 10% off next purchase, plus three freebie tarts all in scents I adore.


Overall, I am quite blown away. She was very responsive (within minutes) on both facebook and email. Tat was fast for made to order: order placed June 27 // received July 5. Her shipping packaging was top notch, and rivals some high end bath and body etailers. Super friendly, quite a gem.

Opening that box left me completely speechless. Took me two hours from start to finish to write this review. Yep, speechless.


How to find her: (Links removed due to closure)
Her website isn't up yet, but if you visit her facebook page then you will be able to check the discussion tab for scent lists and pricing. :)
She has sale on occasion, so check her place often!

Haus of Gloi - Summer reorder

My second order for Summer items, had to get some Sanctum PB in full size. It was that good!

Sanctum - I get a crisp lime top note and the rest glorious almost candied smelling watermelon. This is a wonderful blend for summer!

Troika - you all know I love this one! :D

Insalata Nocturna - I really am surprised at this scent. I do not like greens or fresh scented things to wear but I really dig this scent. HoG has pleasantly surprised me once again. This is a really bright crisp scent, reminds me of something similar in brightness/tartness as a grapefruit. I barely smell the tomato leaf smell that I expected would be overpowering, but with this its like an afterthought and very subtle. Beautiful scent!

Apothecary - I don't like the smell of leather so I was quite skeptical about getting this one, but its my goal to sniff every scent HoG makes. I'm on the fence with this one - all the other scents in it are really nice, its just when that leather creeps in toward the end, my eyes shut and my face wrinkles up. lol

Depravity (perfume oil) - In the vial, its pretty pungent and the clove is really strong, but I wore this for a day and was so pleasantly surprised with how it developed on my skin. Perhaps not a "go to" or "reach for" scent but I enjoyed wearing it and will use on occasion.

Honeysuckle Lemon Curd free sample - I already have and love this one so, score!

Love their lip balms, not greasy or messy. Just the right amount of soft/firmness and they stay put well.

The Sweet Rosa lip balm is everything I had hoped for. I go to a little Greek restaurant where the owner makes Rose Cake on occasion, but she has been so busy she hasn't had it the last 3 or 4 weeks I've visited. Now I can get my fix til I can get more of her cake!

Haven't opened the Lime soda balm yet, but read rave reviews on it so I got it too. :)

Sugarcandie Beauty Bar

http://www.sugarcandiebeautybar.com
Paid 5/23, delivered 6/27
I ordered scrubs during a sale with Sugarcandie42 for 42% off.

From the sundae shoppe:
girly girls love pink cotton candy - pink cotton candy+strawberry sugars
~ I really love this scent, just as described! Sweet and sugary strawberry cotton candy. The scrub is white and pink swirled together and topped with blue turbinado sugar and iridescent glitters!


bahama banana cotton candy - banana, coconut, cotton candy
~Definitely getting banana and coconut, not so much cotton candy but I love it. It reminds me of banana flavored snow cones from when I was a wee kiddo. Swirly yellows mingle in this jar which is also topped with blue turbinado sugar. Neat how the blue and yellow made some green there! Iridescent glitter finishes it off. :)


From the dark carnivale:
Mistress of the mansion - amber, vanilla, cotton candy (haunted mansion)
~I love foody and I love amber, so I could not resist ordering this one and I am definitely pleased with it. I cannot stop sniffing it. I didn't want to rinse and get out of the shower the day I tried it. Its heaven in a jar. If you like cotton candy and you like amber, this is a must have scent. This jar is swirly purple and white with spots of blue here and there, I believe it was topped with the blue sugar which appears to have kind of melded into the purple. It also has the glitter, like the other two.


And I took a macro shot of the scrub so you can see close up.


The samples are so yummy too, I didn't do a scent look up so I'm relying on the ol sniffer here. :)

Fresh and Flirti Romance Cake - I get lemon right off, and maybe grapefruit or ginger - something that has that sharp bite to it. I don't really smell cake but this is a sweet scent. There is a very light hint of something dark at play, perhaps a brulee of some sort but I'm not sure.

California Sunshine & Sugar - This is almost vitamin C smelling to me. There's definitely some sort of sugar there, but the vit C smell is sticking quite strongly to my nose. This may have lemon in it too, but I can't get past the vitamin smell. I totally loved this one two days ago, so maybe my sniffer is borked!

Pina Colada in Paradise - Straight up! Just like the name says, I could eat this. totally.
