THE WAX CAME!!!

I got it all at once!! Had three packages in my mailbox... the more the merrier!!



First package today was from The Happy Little Bee.  She has an Etsy site and shipping and her prices are SUPER reasonable!!



I kept seeing pictures of Unicorn Toots.  And, to be honest, names with farts or poop or burps or something... make me really intrigued to see what the hell is in the scent description... haha... because, really, if it smells like a fart, who would want it?  Then again, you have people buying tarts that smell like weed and bacon.  I guess, to everyone, their own!  LOL

So, I was on a buying SPREE (tax time, who can blame me?) and figured this would be the best time to try Happy Little Bee.  I've heard great things from some fellow wax group members on FB, even though they are clamshells! :) 

Cold Sniff Unicorn Toots:  The description on the website said a mix of fruity and floral.  I personally think that's very vague... I want to know HOW much floral do you smell... I don't like those strong floral scents.  Most of them smell industrial to me.  But I bit the bullet and bought it.  It smells like a softer version of Sweet Tarts!  I am definitely looking forward to see what notes come out melting!

Cold Sniff Pink Sugar: Anyone who's read this blog before this post, knows I love my Pink Sugar! 'Nuff said!

Then I got two freebies:  Ooey Gooey Brownie and Red Velvet Cake.   Ooey Gooey Brownie, cold, smells like chocolate milk/hot chocolate... very nice!! Red Velvet Cake, I don't smell too much out of cold, so I'm hoping for more warm!!

Overall I am happy with my purchase with The Happy Little Bee so far!!  My concerns are if I smell any plastic from the clamshells.  I would also love to see THLB with some more scents, maybe even blend scents?




Then I have Sniff My Tarts CHUNK LOT!  


I didn't handpick these scents, but I OKAYED them.  My Sugar Corn Pudding/Bear Claws was a freebie/surprise.   My other scents were Pink Butter Cookie Vanilla Bean, Fruit Smoothie, Wildberry Mousse Zucchini Bread, and Serendipity Zucchini Bread!! Sooooo excited to melt!! Really thinking about melting a few of these NOW!  I don't think I can wait... teeheehee!! 

Everything on cold sniff smells great!! Of course I love the Pink Sugar/Fruit/Serendipity blends the most!  

Last but definitely not least, Orchid Lake Candles order!! I did an order with a friend of mine, but I did take a picture of my stuff.  



Yayyy for Orchid Lake Candle!! I got a really great order, and I ordered enough (between my friend and I) for free shipping!! Cups that I got were: Watermelon, Wildberry Smoothie, Tangerine Mango, Summer Fling, Sparkling Mango, Pink Toasty Mallows, Pink Chiffon (Type), Pineapple Orchid, Grapefruit & Mangosteen, Grapefruit, and Coco Pink.  I got the "Mini Cake Tarts" in Iced Lemon Danish, Creamsicle, and Pink (Type).  Honorable Mention in this order is the Tangerine Mango and Pink (Type).  Pink Chiffon and Pineapple Orchid are also really really GOOD smelling!!!  



I am SOOOOOOOOOOO happy with my orders!! I have my plates in the freezer, waiting to be changed out with new wax!!


I have my RTS stuff coming from BSF, my HHS should be shipping tomorrow and I have my first ever Bellas bark bag from her bark sale shipping this week!  Will be posting again, hopefully on Thursday!! Taking a few days off before starting my new job!! 

Do you have favorite scents from these vendors?  Any that I need to try?  Hope you guys like everything and post below if you have any questions or comments!! Thanks!

I think you will really like BSF, some people have said that they haven't had much luck, but everything that I've had, is super strong!! Here's the link to the Bella's Bark: Go to the "other" link, and it should be on the second page. "Bella's Bark Sale"

    1. Not that I know of, but I know she likes to ship her products cured and ready to go, so you should pretty much be ready to melt 'em! :)
