When I opened one of the boxes the bottle “looks expensive” It really isn’t. A .67 fluid ounce bottle is priced at $55.

I have had Whispering Meadows wax before, but I have never ordered. I ordered the Orange is the New Black Sampler and it’s amazing! This is a ton of wax for the price!

There is an Etsy site which is currently closed, you can place orders with Erin through facebook and she often has samplers listed on her facebook group page.

Everything is so “pretty” and I feel like she was taught from MEC! The other wax of hers that I’ve had has always thrown nicely and I’m sure these will to.

What I received;
Love Spell Rose Jewelry Tart

Thoughts;
I wanted to try this company but hadn’t had the opportunity to. She had a facebook contest and I won this jewelry tart. Being honest Love Spell isn’t my favorite scent, but this one was really light, which I liked. Once I melt the tart I will post the video here for the reveal.

I received extra “love” in this order of a small Patchouli scallop. I very much like the smell of Patchouli

 I melted my jewelry tart today; 6/4/15. I am not a huge love spell fan, but this scent was really nice. I got a beautiful ring out of it.

Wicky Wicky Wax

Vendor; Wicky Wicky Wax (WWW)
Order placed; April 2015

Facebook; Unsure
Owner; Cricket Kincaid

YouTube Reveals


What I ordered;
1.     Purple Jar candle in the scent “Déjà vu”

Thoughts;
I love purple and WWW was offering a purple bell jar candle. I decided to order one. I was given a 15% off discount for my reviews on my other orders. What I received was NOT was I expected, in a good way.

Along with the candle, there was a hand blown purple glass flower as a mothers day gift, the ring was not in the candle and is beautiful!

There was also a bag candy, a handwritten thank you note and extra “love” of Spiced Cider, Breakfast at Tiffany’s, Braham’s Lullaby and Berry Pineapple Souffle grubby tarts.

Life is Good Wicky Wicky

 **This candle is not burnable. After one hour the candle tunneled so bad it lost the wick. There was also no scent what-so-ever with this. I have not contacted the vendor as I do not want to "start drama" as I will be accused of doing.**

As you can see by the below picture, the wick is too small for the candle that it's in.

 **Update** January 2016. The owner of Wicky Wicky Wax, Cricket, reached out to me when she saw this review. When I first published this I felt any relationship I had with this vendor was strained and truly didn't want to start anything. This was very wrong on my part and you should reach out to any vendor whenever there is an issue in a nice way. There isn't any way for a vendor to know there is an issue unless you let them know. Problems can't be fixed if they are ignored.  She advised me that she found out about this issue later and had assumed since I didn't contact her that my candle was fine.  Part of my issue is that I "hoard" candles that don't have jewelry in them, I am very anal and put then "in a specific order" to be burned later. I honestly felt that too much time has passed. WWW and Cricket have proved to me that although time had passed, the issue would have still been corrected.

4.      Sinus Relief-Mini Bundt Cakes
5.      Chocolate Chip Cookies-Owl Shaped tart
6.      Alien in a Pink Tutu-Flash Sale Winnings

Thoughts;
There was either a Mother’s Day or Easter Sale and I wanted some of her fun shaped tarts. She offers so many of them on the web site and once you receive them, you won’t want to melt them because they are too cute.

I have only melted the owl Chocolate Chip Cookies tart, the throw of this went so far for so long! It was a very true strong scent, my mom and kids thought I was baking cookies!

Extra “love” received was Peach Sangria Bumble Bee tart and a chunk in the scent Peach Sangria, Satsuma and Dragon Fruit. A handwritten Thank You note from the kids was also included!

Scent Descriptions;
  • Vanilla Bean Noel – A warm blend of fresh vanilla bean, warm caramel and rich, comforting cream.
  • Pink Sugars – A playfully fragrance of fruity blend of cotton candy, lemon drops, caramel and  raspberry jam with the sweetness of sugar, vanilla, musk and light floral.
  • Alien in a Pink Tutu – Alien and pink sugar candy

  • Chocolate Chip Cookies – This fabulous down home treat is filled with  semi-sweet chocolate,  melted butter,  white cocoa, confectioners sugar, milk chocolate  chips, cookie dough, vanilla extract and a ton of fresh baked goodness!

Vendor; Mystery Melts Candle Company
Order placed; April 2015

Facebook; Mystery Melts
Owner; Amanda Nalley

YouTube Reveals
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yRivU3VWW0k
https://youtu.be/ed2kCzFqvqg


What I ordered;
1.     Jewelry Candle in the scent “Dauntless Cake”
2.     Jewelry Tart in the scent “Peeta’s Bakery Bliss”


Thoughts;
I found this company from YouTube reviews. At the time of the reviews/reveals I couldn’t remember who’s channel it was. I have since figured it out! Thank You Samantha Passehl for introducing me to this company via your YouTube channel!

All candles and tart seem to be ready to ship as it gives you scent options when choosing what item you want. I also checked out the web site before ordering and there are special prizes you can win, but really no description on how you can win, imagine my surprise when I pulled a paper out of my candle and won one of those prizes! I chose the Mystery Package, option #3 because just like Scooby-Doo, I love a good mystery! LOL

The tart had a really light throw, but it was a wonderful bakery smell. The candle barley had a throw in my office, however upstairs in my house, it smells amazing! I’m not sure why this happens in my office with candles, I wish I knew as I’ve said for a few vendors that the candles had no scent, and I was way wrong when the candle was burned in a different area!

I will update this with the winning video when I receive my prize. I have contacted the owner and she has advised me it will ship after her vacation!

Extra “Love” received; Full side Cupcake in Lemon Cake, Fruit Loops Lotion (which was promptly stolen by my daughter) and a Bag of candy. A hand written Thank You note was also included

Prize Options;

Prize #1 
Genuine Diamond accent forever love bracelet in Sterling Silver.  Suggested retail value is $289.

Prize #2
Genuine Blue Diamond accent heart ring, set in Sterling Silver. (Size 7) Suggested retail value is $150.

Prize #3
Prize number 3 is a mystery box. This box includes this authentic Coach wristlet, and other unknown prizes. This prize pack can include anything from designer purses, designer sunglasses, perfumes, makeup, books, movies, scarfs, household items, electronics, and much more. This prize is guaranteed to be valued over $150

Scent Descriptions; The full scent list is amazing!

*Dauntless Cake: Buttercream icing surrounds this delectable cake confection. A luscious vanilla cake, sweetened with a touch a maple sugar and caramel.

*Peeta's Bakery Bliss: Sticky and gooey cinnamon buns, fresh from the oven.  Topped with a sweet cream cheese frosting.
