Vanilla Lavender Review

I loved this scent! This is another scent my cousin had requested and it was amazingly relaxing. This is another one of our layered delight tarts. When I smelled it from the outside the box, the vanilla overpowered the lavender. But once I opened the lid, you couldn't smell the vanilla. Now I didn't burn it like normal people lol. I was using it as a scent sample so I wanted to make it look like the actual tart so I had cut off the Lavender and did it separately from the vanilla. But either way, I loved the separate scents. I'll do a better update when I get the scent again and burn it correctly.

Spiced Coffee Review

I personally don't like the smell of coffee but my boyfriend does. This is what he said: "Spice coffee has a strong sweet coffee smell even before you start to melt it in your tart warmer. When it starts to melt you can smell both the coffee and vanilla intertwine with each other making a wonderful vanilla coffee mix that makes you think of morning coffee with vanilla creamer in it. For those who do not like the smell or taste of coffee this would not be your forte since the coffee does over power the vanilla at first than its sweetened out once the mix of the two merge."

To me it was like walking down the coffee aisle in Walmart and its a scent overload. I place my scent samples in the freezer so they will harden and stay stiff. My little freezer/fridge still smells like it and it was over two weeks ago.

Spiced Coffee is one of our Layered Delights. It comes only in tart form. Out of the six layered candles, this one is probably my least favorite. The two scents that are combined is Cinnamon and Coffee. Coffee is the bottom layer; mainly the entire cube with Cinnamon is the top layer, filling it from the top of the cube forms to the top of the box. I preferred the Cinnamon smell to the coffee. Here is what the description of the candle says: "
  • Scent #1 - Cinnamon
    • Irresistible, sweet and sticky cinnamon buns drenched with icing... yum!  Butter, cinnamon, and sugar notes make up this heavenly and delicious wax tart!  
  • Scent #2 - Coffee
    • The aroma of freshly brewed coffee beans combined with creamy vanilla and a base note of hazelnuts. It is a warm welcome to get the morning going or a quiet evening with friends.

There are several ways to how to melt this:
*A) place it with Coffee on the bottom, touching the warmer. You'll get the smell of Coffee before the smell of Cinnamon.
*B) place it with Cinnamon on the bottom, touching the warmer. You'll get the swift smell of Cinnamon before the Coffee takes in. The Cinnamon scent is only about a 1 cm thick and *C) place it on the side with both scents touching the warmer. The scents will blend perfectly.

The company labeled this scent as intense and it is definitely intense. It spreads throughout the room really quickly and those that came over to my place said that they smelt it as they were coming into the house.

You are probably wondering why I got Spiced Coffee when I don't like the smell of coffee. My wonderful cousin had asked for a number of scent samples that I didn't currently have so I decided to go ahead and get the scents that she wanted to try before ordering. It gave me a chance to smell them and tell her what I thought of the scents. Plus it builds my jewelry collection to show off.

Cotton Candy Review



So who likes going to the state fair or any kinda of event say, like the circus, and getting a big stick of cotton candy? I love cotton candy; I recently had a Cotton Candy blizzard from DQ and oh it was so good, gave me a crazy sugar rush. Well I love the smell of cotton candy and if you do too, then cotton candy will be your favorite candle of yet.

Now I have a very bad sugar tooth. My wonderful boyfriend says that he knows when its that time of the month because of how bad my sweet tooth gets (sad to say its true). And this candle does not help with the craving of the cotton candy blizzard.

This candle could help ease the craving for it, especially when you are pregnant or don't have the ability to get anything cotton candy. If you do happen to find a bag of cotton candy, it could be too sugary, so this candle is very accurate and not one drop of sugar.

My tart warmer is on the other side of the room from me and I can smell it perfectly as if I was sitting at the table with it, working on the scent samples. The candle is set at moderate scent throw and its accurate to a "T". Now granted my living room barely fits the card table, two coffee tables, the computers, and the chairs (there's not enough room for a couch or anything comfortable).

Now I have a ton of earrings (all different kinds) and my boyfriend says that I have way too many for my own good. But hey I've got the perfect pair of earrings for each occasion or outfit. Dangles are my absolutely favorite. So these are a gorgeous pair to be added to my ever growing collection.

Here's the wonderfully worded description of Cotton Candy on the website: "Close your eyes, breathe deep, and let the wonderful cotton candy aroma take you back to the county fair! With sugary strawberry and sweet vanilla notes, this scent is sure to hit a sweet tooth! Cotton candy candles with jewelry."

As like with Pink Champagne, I asked other people for their opinions on this candle and here's their responses:
  • "♡ it!!!! Its sweet and not too strong for the candy scent."- Sabrina Rose Stevens
  • "It didn't have much scent when burning... you could smell it whem it wasn't"- Shelly-Dallas Rogers
  • "I love love love it! My favorite scent I've tried
