- Picture of Order/Products
- Wax Look: Clean and pretty colors. No embellishments. According to the website, you can order customization at no extra charge.
- Cold Smell:
- Skittles Scent Shot
-
A very pleasant combination of
fruity and sweet. I can almost taste the rainbow ;).
- Sweet Tarts Scent Shot
-
Smells like sweet tarts with an
emphasis on strawberry and cherry notes.
- Fruit Punch Scent Shot
-
A weak fruit punch scent.
- Cherry Slush Scent Shot
-
A very
strong cherry scent.
- Blueberry Cotton Candy Scent Shot
-
A very light sugary blueberry sell.
Wax Melting Review:
- Detailed Description of Each Smell
- Skittles Scent Shot
-
Within seconds of putting this scent
on the warmer I could smell it. It was a very pleasant sweet fruity smell. Very
close to the smell of a bag of the original flavored skittles (as opposed to
the tropical fruit skittles).
- Sweet Tarts Scent Shot
-
Smelled fruity with hints of
perfume. Generally I dislike most perfume scents, but the sweet notes actually
combined to create a generally pleasant scent.
- Fruit Punch Scent Shot
-
Very weak fruit punch scent. Even
after it was completely melted, it continued to get slightly stronger.
- Cherry Slush Scent Shot
-
A very
strong cherry scent. I am not a fan of this particular cherry scent because I
think it resembles cherry flavored cough medicine.
- Blueberry Cotton Candy Scent Shot
-
Warmed smell is non-existent.
- Comparison to Cold Smell
- Skittles Scent Shot
-
Very similar, slightly stronger.
- Sweet Tarts Scent Shot
-
Very similar to cold smell, slightly
stronger.
- Fruit Punch Scent Shot
-
Very similar.
- Cherry Slush Scent Shot
-
Very
similar.
- Blueberry Cotton Candy Scent Shot
-
Weaker,
non-existent.
- Scent Throw:
- Skittles Scent Shot
-
A strong 1!
- Sweet Tarts Scent Shot
-
A strong 1!
- Fruit Punch Scent Shot
-
A weak 1
- Cherry Slush Scent Shot
-
A very
strong 1!
- Blueberry Cotton Candy Scent Shot
-
If I could give this a zero I would,
but I didn’t include that in my number rating scale.
Sum Up:
- Overall Impression
- I have heard a lot of positive things about this company. I personally think the vendor is very kind. It was honestly a pleasure doing business with this vendor. As far as the wax goes, it could use some improvements.
- Pros
- When including extra love, it seems as if the vendor took note of what scents I liked and tried to include similar scents that she believed I may enjoy.
- Great communication with
vendor.
- Cons
- Consistency within the
different scents.
- Overall Liked Scents
- Skittles
-
Even
though the scent throw wasn’t strong enough to travel, I didn’t get wax nose (I
could consistently smell the scent even after an extended of period of time
within the room. Generally, a person can become immune and stop smelling a
scent if they are around it for any extended period of time).
- Sweet Tarts
- Overall Disliked Scents
- Blueberry Cotton Candy
- Fruit Punch
- Cherry Slushie
- How the wax could be improved?/Was it missing something?
- Perhaps a rating of each
scents strength within the website, especially since some are just
stronger than others.
- Was it worth the money?
- Somewhat.
- Would I purchase from this vendor again?
- I would purchase the liked scents from the vendor again, but would not risk it with trying new scents.
