Pre-Review/Post Order:

Long Cane Primitives is owned and operated by Cindy Marquardt. This vendor ventured into wax in 1996. Her true passion is Tole painting. When the vendor was doing craft shows she wanted to add something else to her inventory, and that is when she stumbled into wax. Her first product was jelly jar candles, and she soon became hooked on wax tarts.

  • Products
    • Grubby Tarts
    • Spoon-Ur-Scents (Scoopable Wax)
    • Various Shaped Tarts

  • Where to Order: http://www.longcaneprimitives.com/store/

  • Availability: Company is RTS at the moment and restocked frequently.

  • Turn Around Time (TAT): 2-3 days.
  • Price: $$$

  • Cure Time: The vendor says that her wax is RTS so it is already cured. I will be waiting at least two weeks to a month.

  • Warmer Recommended: The vendor uses an 18 watt warmer for her wax.

  • My Order:
    • Blueberry Funnel Cake (Grubby Tart Bag)
    • Blue Ribbon Cookies (Grubby Tart Bag)

  • Extra Love Received:
      • Watermelon Lemonade 
      • Fresh Picked Strawberries

  • Picture of Order/Products

  • Wax Look:
    • I feel as if the wax accurately reflects the company name. This is a good thing. The colors are pretty, but not overly vibrant. The tart shapes are simple. The labels are adorable. It is very themed and appropriate!
    • There was some slight smudging, but this is not the vendor’s fault. USPS has not been updating package tracking so I am unsure of how long it sat in a hot mailbox. Considering the warmth, I would say they fared well.
 
  • Cold Smell:
    • Blueberry Funnel Cake – A sweet realistic blueberry scent.
    • Blue Ribbon Cookies – The perfect cookie scent with just the right amount of sweetness.



Wax Melting Review: 
  • Detailed Description of Each Smell
    • Blueberry Funnel Cake – A sweet realistic blueberry scent.
    • Blue Ribbon Cookies – This scent is absolutely delicious.  I can totally understand why this is one of the vendors best-selling scents. It is a cookie scent with just the perfect amount of sweetness.

  • Comparison to Cold Smell
    • Blueberry Funnel Cake – Similar
    • Blue Ribbon Cookies - Similar

  • Scent Throw:
    • Blueberry Funnel Cake - 4
    • Blue Ribbon Cookies - 5



Sum Up:
  • Overall Impression
    • I have to say that I was very impressed with this vendor’s customer service. She was nothing but sweet and respectful when speaking to me. I do truly appreciate that.
 
  • Pros
    • Easily Obtainable Products
    • RTS = Quick TAT!
    • Strong Throw, but Not Overwhelming
    • Accepts Requests for Restock
    • Friendly Customer Service
 
  • Cons
    • Not all scents are always in stock.
 
  • Overall Liked Scents
    • Blue Ribbon Cookies
    • Blueberry Funnel Cake
 
  • Overall Disliked Scents
    • N/A
 
  • If it ends up in a destash, why?
    • N/A
 
  • How the wax could be improved?/Was it missing something?
    • Blueberry Funnel Cake - I was actually surprised I couldn’t detect the funnel cake because normally that is a very strong scent. Perhaps slightly more of this particular scent aspect would make it more detectable. The scent still smelled wonderful.
 
  • Was it worth the money?
    • Yes
 
  • Would I purchase from this vendor again?
    • Absolutely!
