Sum Up:

• Overall Impression
• This vendor definitely won me over with my first order. She continuously provides beautiful strong wax. This vendor has more than earned her drawer in my permanent wax collection.

• Pros
• Strong Scents
• Long Lasting Scents
• No Scent Nose (You can remain in the same room with a melting scent and your nose does not get used to the scent).

• Cons
• Long TAT

• Overall Liked Scents
• Banana Cream Pudding
• Pistachio Pudding Cake Fluff
• Amazing Cookie

• Overall Disliked Scents
• Glazed Donut

-         Simply not strong enough for my liking.

• Carrot Cake

-         Simply not strong enough for my liking.

• If it ends up in a destash, why?
• N/A Order Consisted of Scent Shots!

• How the wax could be improved?/Was it missing something?
• N/A

• Anything Else?:
• Plan ahead when ordering from this popular vendor. Be prepared to wait for the wax, but remember that it is worth the wait!
• I personally believe her blended scents are strongest. If you want something less intense, I recommend getting individual scents because her blended scents are fairly strong.

• I honestly love the Bite Me Scent in general, but this candle was not as strong as I had hoped. It won’t discourage me from trying again. Perhaps the candles need more cure time than the tarts that throw so strong.

• Anything Else?:
• Plan ahead when ordering from this popular vendor. Be prepared to wait for the wax, but remember that it is worth the wait!
• I personally believe her blended scents are strongest. If you want something less intense, I recommend getting individual scents because her blended scents are fairly strong.
• If you must have unblended scents, I strongly recommend a longer cure time!

• Wax Look:
• Gorgeous!
• During the curing time, there was a slight color change in the candle. It was still pretty, but considering it wasn't supposed to change colors until it was melting, I figured I would include a picture. 

 

After 3 months of curing time. As you can see there was some slight discoloration, but the candle is still gorgeous in my honest opinion.

• Cold Smell:
• Black Cherry Bomb/Pistachio Pudding Cake

-         A beautiful rich black cherry scent that is only further complimented by the creamy cherry like notes of the pistachio scent.

• Overall Impression
• I <3 this vendor! This vendor definitely won me over with my first order. She continuously provides beautiful strong wax. This vendor has more than earned her drawer in my permanent wax collection. Despite my order not being exactly the combination of scents I had ordered, I have smelled the blend I ordered and it was a close match This is why I didn’t complain about what I received nor mark the vendor down. Plus, this particular order had Christmas gifts in it. The vendor went to extreme lengths to make sure I had this order for Christmas (Seriously….she traveled for the holidays and dropped off my package because she was traveling through my state!)
