· Picture of
Order/Products
· Wax
Look: Considering the heatwave we have been having, I am glad
the wax arrived in as good of condition as it did. Before unboxing, I let it
sit in the box in air conditioning. There may have been smudges on the bags,
but overall, the wax held its shape.
· Cold
Smell:
o In Mint Condition - The
primary smell in this mix is Icy Mint. The lavender is subtle and has a salty
edge.
o Dragon Fruit Tangerine Sweet
Tea - The dominant scent is a fruity smell with a subtle tea-like undertone.
o No Mow May - A sweet subtle
scent that is hard to place with subtle grassy undertones.
o The Off Switch - A relaxing
spa-type scent that would make a fabulous fabric softener.
o Strawberry Pound Cake
(B&BW Type) - A sweet artificial strawberry scent.
o Beach Babes 2.0 - Think of a
Pina Colada with other random fruits as a garnish.
o World on Fire - A sweet and
creamy scent with leather undertones.
o Panty Dropper - When I think
of Pineapple Dole Whip giving off a scent, that is this scent.
o Level Up to Lake Kingdom - A
subtle minty scent highlights salty water scents.
o Blackberry Jam Butter Cookies
Eggnog - A buttery sweet fruity eggnog scent with bakery notes.
o Mom Needs a Vacation - A
creamy floral spa scent with subtle notes of sunblock.
o Hunk of Burning Love - A sweet
bakery scent with subtle cinnamon undertones. It reminds me of the cinnamon
crumb streusel toppings on crumb cakes.
o You Had Me at Aloe – A sweet
and subtle fruity scent that almost resembles a melon.
o Hippie Juice - This smell
comes off as a sweet fruity smell with some effervescence.
Wax Melting Review:
· Detailed
Description of Each Smell
o In Mint Condition - Immediately
after placing the wax in the warmer, I got hit with a scent that I can only
compare to a floral-like shaving cream. It became almost more powdery as it
continued to melt.
o Dragon Fruit Tangerine Sweet
Tea – The scent that came through the most prominently would be the sweet tea
with very subtle fruity notes.
o No Mow May – Unable to review
honestly due to allergic reaction.
o The Off Switch – A light
powdery floral scent.
o Strawberry Pound Cake
(B&BW Type) – A sweet, creamy, and almost juicy artificial strawberry scent.
o Beach Babes 2.0 – A fruity
scent with distinguishable citrus notes that is made almost creamy by the pina
colada.
o World on Fire – Almost
immediately after placing this scent in the warmer, the scent of leather comes
through significantly. The sensual vanilla adds a creaminess to take the edge
off the leather.
o Panty Dropper – A light and
refreshing citrus scent.
o Level Up to Lake Kingdom – A
salty sea scent.
o Blackberry Jam Butter Cookies
Eggnog – A creamy berry-type bakery scent.
o Mom Needs a Vacation – This
scent smells like florals during rainfall.
o Hunk of Burning Love – A sweet
cinnamon bakery scent. Reminds me of a cinnamon coffee cake fresh from the oven.
o You Had Me at Aloe – This
scent comes across as a light fruity melon-type scent. Not overly sweet, but
fruity.
o Hippie Juice – A light refreshing
fruity scent that resembles fruit punch.
· Comparison
to Cold Smell
o In Mint Condition - The mint
is not as strong as it was in the cold smell, but that is not a bad thing
either because the mint was almost abrasive in the cold smell.
o Dragon Fruit Tangerine Sweet
Tea – Different. The tea notes were not as subtle as in the cold smell. The tea
scent became the more prominent scent while fruity notes became more subtle.
o No Mow May - Unable to review
honestly due to allergic reaction.
o The Off Switch - Similar
o Strawberry Pound Cake
(B&BW Type) – I enjoyed this one way more once it was in the warmer.
o Beach Babes 2.0 - Similar
o World on Fire - Similar
o Panty Dropper - Similar
o Level Up to Lake Kingdom -
Similar
o Blackberry Jam Butter Cookies
Eggnog - Similar
o Mom Needs a Vacation –
Similar, but the sunblock notes were not as prominent.
o Hunk of Burning Love - Similar
o You Had me at Aloe - Similar
o Hippie Juice - Similar

Sum Up:
· Overall
Impression
o Rose
Girls wax is consistent. I get quality wax with every order. They produce some
of the most unique blends of any small business vendor. Samplers are a great
way to try some of these unique blends which can honestly be hard to imagine.
· Pros
o Creative
Blends
o Deceptively
Strong (Light Scents Throw Well)
· Cons
o Sometimes
the blends are difficult to imagine before smelling.

Eggnog
· If it
ends up in a destash, why?
o No Mow
May – Upon starting to melt this scent, my allergies began acting up and my
nose began to run.
o World
on Fire – The scent is not bad; I just don’t want to smell leather unless I am
hugging someone wearing it. It was also a bit overwhelming to the point I had
to stop reviewing for the day to cleanse my smell palate, so to speak.
o Blackberry Jam Butter Cookies
Eggnog – Not a huge berry scent fan, and bakery is not at the top of my
preferred scents either.
· How
the wax could be improved?/Was it missing something?
o I do
have trouble imagining some of the described scent combinations, so I prefer to
take part in samplers. My concern is repeat scents in samplers. Perhaps themed
samplers with listed scents would help avoid repeat scents. Mystery samplers
are easier for the vendor, so I still encourage those as well.
· Anything
Else?
o I love Rose Girls wax. I do
believe that it is worth giving it a try.
o Don’t judge her scents by
their cold smell. I honestly thought I would hate some of them, and they ended
up being my favorites that I melted.

Impression
o I love the Rosegirls wax! I can definitely understand the hype when it comes to Rosegirls!
- Pros
o Store available to purchase from and buyers willing to shop for you!
o Great blends!
o Long Lasting!
o The Scoopable wax is available Kathy’s etsy store. When she does restocks, she tends to stock very well. She also seems have stuff available for a few days. It may not be your first choice at restock, but you can’t say she didn’t have stuff available. There is generally something for everyone (or whatever scent category is your favorite, she probably has something you would like available.)
- Cons
o Extremely difficult to place custom blend order!
o Long Turn Around Time for Custom Blended Orders
