Currently, the TAT is around 8-15 business days for custom ordered items. Please take this as a general time frame. Your order may take less time or may take a couple of days longer. Ready To Ship items generally ship within 1-2 business days.

• Price: $$

• Cure Time: While curing never hurts, the vendor’s wax blend needs very little if any cure time. I will personally be waiting one month upon arrival of the wax.

• Warmer Recommended: The vendor tests in a 17 and 20 watt hot plate. They have found that most hot plate warmers do well with our wax and that higher wattage bulb warmers and halogen bulb warmers perform well too. Tea light warmers work great as well.

• Wax Look:
• Clean and colorful! I find this wax absolutely adorable!

• Cold Smell:
• Fruit Smoothie – A light sweet and creamy fruity scent.
• Lemon Confections – A wonderfully strong and sweet lemon scent!
• French Toast – This scent reminds me of a cinnamon potpourri. My fiancé said it smells like Michael’s Craft Store….
• Pink Vanilla Mallow – A creamy pink sugar blend with prominent vanilla notes.
• Pumpkin Crème Puffs – A light creamy pumpkin scent.
• Hello Blueberry – A light sweet blueberry scent.
• Chocolate Orchid – A pleasant subtly sweet floral scent.

Wax Melting Review: 

• Detailed Description of Each Smell
• Fruit Smoothie – A light creamy fruity scent.
• Lemon Confections – A lovely sweet yet tart lemon scent.
• French Toast – A strong cinnamon potpourri scent.
• Pink Vanilla Mallow – This scent is probably one of the most prominent vanilla notes I have ever smelled. It came through immediately. It came through as a bakery type vanilla. The pink sugar became more subtle.
• Pumpkin Crème Puffs – A light bakery scent with subtle pumpkin notes.
• Hello Blueberry – A light sweet blueberry scent with very subtle bakery undertones.
• Chocolate Orchid – A delicate floral/perfume scent with a subtle sweetness to it.
• Cornbread – A buttery flakey bread scent.

• Comparison to Cold Smell
• Fruit Smoothie - Similar
• Lemon Confections - Similar
• French Toast - Similar
• Pink Vanilla Mallow - Similar
• Pumpkin Crème Puffs - Similar
• Hello Blueberry - Similar
• Chocolate Orchid - Similar
• Cornbread – Similar, but better warmed.

• Scent Throw:
• Fruit Smoothie - 3
• Lemon Confections - 3
• French Toast - 3
• Pink Vanilla Mallow - 4
• Pumpkin Crème Puffs - 2
• Hello Blueberry -3
• Chocolate Orchid - 3
• Cornbread - 2

Sum Up:

• Overall Impression
• This vendor is definitely worth a try if you have yet to do so. The wax is consistent and there are a variety of scents available to suit just about every nose out there.

• Pros
• Consistent Throw
• Long Lasting
• Square chunks perfect size for most warmers.

• Cons
• Custom blends are only available in smaller quantities.

• Overall Liked Scents
• Lemon Confections
• Fruit Smoothie
• Chocolate Orchid
• Pink Vanilla Mallow
• Hello Blueberry
• Cornbread

• Overall Disliked Scents
• French Toast

• If it ends up in a destash, why?
• N/A…anything that I didn’t use for the review (all mustache melts were used) happens to be one of the scents I enjoyed.

• How the wax could be improved?/Was it missing something?
• Pumpkin Crème Puffs – I think this scent could actually use additional pumpkin fragrance. The pumpkin in this particular scent was so light that it almost disappeared into the bakery notes of the scent. I didn’t love it or hate (hence why I couldn’t bring myself to put it in either category), but I do think this scent could be better!

• Was it worth the money?
• Yes!

•  Would I purchase from this vendor again?
• I definitely can see myself ordering from this vendor again. I am actually really interested in trying some of her bath and body products in addition to purchasing more wax.
