Sum Up:
· Overall
Impression
o I knew
right away that her wax was going to be amazing when one of the samples I
melted was by far the strongest throw I had ever melted! This wax has easily
become ranked among one of my favorite vendors. The throw is deceptively
strong. If you want a good wax that will have an entire multi-level home
smelling wonderful without being overpowering, this is the vendor for you.
· Pros
o Great Scent Selection!
o Great Scent Throw
o Although I don’t review extra
love (free wax), I have to say I was happy that I had wax samples that were
ready to melt while I waited for my order to cure!
o The wax is soft. This is both
a pro and con. It is nice that the wax does not require additional tools to
cut.
· Cons
o The
wax is a bit soft. This could contribute to rub-off during the summer months.
· Overall

· Overall
Disliked Scents
o Chocolate
Orchid + Pink Sugar – I feel like the Pink Sugar ratio was off on this blend
and would have liked more chocolate orchid within the scent to give that note a
fighting chance.
· If it
ends up in a destash, why?
o Chocolate
Orchid + Pink Sugar – This scent is similar to the other fragrance I created,
but I like the other combination more!
o Cherry
Float – I try not to hold onto scents that aren’t absolutely the top of
preferences.
· How
the wax could be improved? /Was it missing something?
o Because
of the soft nature of this vendor’s wax, I would recommend the vendor offer wax
made from molds during colder months so that they hold their shape during
transport and experience less rub-off. This would technically limit the
selection to clamshells and products with similar containers such as candles.
The alternative would be to alter the wax formula for the wax used for molds.
Changing the products available by season would technically be easier than
changing the wax formulation for the melts made from molds.
· Anything
Else? Anything else I may want to include about my experience with the vendor?
Things I have learned from the experience.
o
This vendor is genuinely a good soul. She takes
feedback very well and genuinely cares about her craft and her customers. My wish list for her products continues to
grow as does the products she offers. If you haven’t checked out her wax, I
would highly recommend giving her products a try.
