Nette's Thoughts: Wax; January Melting

I have started putting wax in all my warmers! I generally change out all the upstairs one every other day and the downstairs one daily. It’s still a little hard for me to keep track of what’s melting BUT this is a challenge for me so I’m all over it.

Here's what we've got!

A small scentsy warmer in the shape of a space ship in my son's room.

A purple glade warmer in my son's room.

A green glade warmer in my living room.

A white glade warmer in my office

A purple glade warmer in my family room

A beige glade warmer in my bedroom.

Candles;

I generally only burn candles in my living room and office, but I seem to go through them!

Office;

Vendor; Kushner Kreations

Spikes Secret Stash Candle in the scent Butterscotch Crème Brulee.

This candle burned clean and perfectly. It smelled amazing and I would definitely purchase this again.

Vendor; Kushner Kreations

Spikes Secret Stash Candle in the scent Cotton Candy/VBN.

This was the slowest burning candle ever, this is not a complaint! It smelled so good in my small office and these 8 ounce candles are the perfect size!

Living Room;

Vendor; Willow Moon Candles

Scent; Like a Fart in the Wind.

I have had this candle for awhile, due to it’s name I kept it in my bathroom without burning it. I figured it was about time as my husband and kids kept moving it. It was an odor-eliminating candle. It smelled amazing actually and worked very well. I would most definitely purchase this candle again in a larger version (this one was 8 ounces). It burned clean and even.

Vendor; New Moon Candles

Scent; Christmas Sugar Cookies candle in a coffee mug.

This candle smelled really good, it was a very strong sugar cookie, which is hard to get. I got candle nose when it was almost gone and I did notice that the wick was a little off center. This was a living room candle and I wasn’t able to burn it all the way down due to the wick, but the burning of the rest of the candle was amazing.

Vendor; Kushner Kreations

Spikes Secret Stash Candle in the scent French Vanilla.

As with the one from my office this candle burned clean and perfectly. It was a little candle (8 ounces) but packed a good punch!

Vendor; Sweet Sensations Wax Melts & More

Scent; Vanilla Bean Noel.

As most of you are aware VBN is my favorite scent anywhere, well this vendor makes the best strongest VBN that I’ve ever had! This candle performed very well at first, then the wick went wonky. It was crooked and off center. I wasn’t able to fix it, I contacted the vendor to let her know and she did offer to replace it, I told her no, well I was able to get the wick fixed as it must have bent during the pouring process. It was so very good and yummy!

Melting;

Vendor; Skye’s Soy Candles.

Scent; Apple Cinnamon

I purchased this clam shell in a de-stash. I used this one cube at a time in different rooms in my house. It was an older clamshell but it was very strong scented still.

Vendor; ScentSationals

Scent; Strawberries & Cream.

I received this in a RAOK. I melted this in different rooms in my house and the scent was amazing! I was actually surprised since it’s a “cheap” clam shell/wax, but I would definitely purchase this again.

Vendor; Skye’s Soy Candles;

Scent; Lemon Bundt Cake

All of these were purchased from a de-stash.

Normally I’m not thrilled with Lemon scents, but this was good. It was a strong scent but the lemon was secondary to the cake. It was melted in several rooms of my house and even though it was older, it performed very well.

Vendor; Sweet Sensations Wax Melts & More;

Scent: We’re All Mad Here

These were Alice in Wonderland tarts purchased during a special that she had. It all came in an Alice in Wonderland package. I melted this in two different times in my bedroom and it was amazing! The scent lasted two nights (with being shut off during the day). Unsure of the scent description but it was very good!

Vendor; Waxidents

Scent; Marshmallow Cake VBN.

This was one of mine that had been returned in a undeliverable package and it was too “old” to sell or giveaway. I frequently melt/burn my own product to test it and make sure it really does smell good. This was amazing! Toasted marshmallow, birthday cake and vanilla bean noel all mixed together. It was super strong and lasted all day in my office.

Vendor; Kushner Kreations

Scent; Fishy Fishy

This was a car tart that my youngest son received for Christmas. It was cut up and melted over time. This smelled just like Swedish fish and it’s amazing. It preformed very well and I have purchased this in the past and will continue to do so going forward.

Vendor; Sweet Sensations Wax Melts & More

Scent; Betsey Ross’s Kitchen.

This was a huge chunky bundt cake that I cut up and have been melting for some time. It smells amazing. I melted the remaining in my youngest son’s room and it was amazing!

Vendor; Waxidents

Scent; Satsuma

I love this scent. It’s so clean smelling (to me anyway). This was a tart that I cut up and melted bits at a time. This was melted in my bathroom and it performed pretty well.

Vendor; Waxidents

Scent; Pink Sugar Birthday Cake.

This was palm wax and it was an experimental chunk that I had made. It was so pretty and I hated to actually melt it, but I did! It didn’t perform as well as I’d hoped, but I did melt it in my bedroom, so I will keep trying and testing!

Vendor; New Moon Candles

Scent; Vanilla Butterscotch Brulee.

This was a scent shot that I melted in two sittings and it was amazing! For those that know me, know that I love Vanilla scents, and bakery so this was perfect! This vendor doesn’t get enough credit, it’s amazing! I melted this in my office and the scent went down the hall.

Vendor; Waxidents

Scent; Monkey Farts

This was a sample that I had that had gotten too old to give out, so I melted it myself. The scent was lighter than I’d like but it was melted in a huge room.

Vendor; Sweet Sensations Wax Melts & More

Scent; Vanilla Bean Noel

I hoarded this, it had a few tarts in it, this vendor makes the very best VBN out there. It is so crazy strong! I melted this in my bedroom.

Vendor; Sweet Sensations Wax Melts & More

Scent; Christmas Cutout Cookies.

Oh this was yummy. It had VBN in it. This vendor makes amazing wax/scents that last forever!

Vendor; Rose Girls

Scent; Berry Crème Brulee Noel.

This was a bag of chunks that I’ve had for a bit. I cut each chunk in half and it lasted for awhile. This scent is simply amazing!

Vendor; Kushner Kreations

Scent; Cranberry Marmalade

This was not my kind of scent, I typically don’t like the cranberry scents. It was very strong though and filled a very large room

Vendor; Waxidents

Scent; Cherry Red Lipstick

I received this back in a non delivered order, it had gotten a little beat up so I decided to melt it. Amazing! Another vendor that’s really good is Midnight Magic Designs owned by Gwen Vasquez, she makes this also!

Vendor; Scarlet Raine

Scent; Rainy Day at Sea

I don’t remember if this is one I received in a De-stash or if I received it with a purchase, I know that I wouldn’t have necessarily purchased this scent before, but it’s really good. I melted pieces over time in different rooms and it performed very well.

Vendor; Wicked Wax of the East

Scent; Twilight in the Woods.

I received this tart in her Halloween tart special. It smelled amazing! It was a pumpkin that I cut up and melted over time and it performed very well in each room.

Vendor; Simply Soy

Scent Mango Peach Salsa

I had received this in a de-stash. It was an older clam shell but it preformed wonderfully! It wasn’t my scent and not one that I would have purchased.

Vendor; Waxidents

Scent Birthday Cake Chocolate Chip Cookies

This was a test blend that I made. It performed very well and I really like it, but it’s very sweet.

Vendor; Skyes Soy Candles

Scent Pumpkin Patchouli

This is an older clam shell I received in a De-Stash. It was older but preformed great!

Vendor; Simply Soy

Scent; Lemon Drop

This was an older clam shell that I melted over time. It fell apart when removing it from the packaging however it smelled amazing!

Vendor; Bonjour Wax Company

Scent; Oh, Bite Me

This was a clam shell that I melted over time. It was palm wax. It smelled amazing on cold but didn’t perform well on warm. The scent was barley there.

Vendor; Skye’s Soy Candles

Scent; Marble Cake

This was a clam that was melted over time. I purchased this from a de-stash. It smelled so good. It was very bakery which I love.

Vendor; Skye’s Soy Candles

Scent; Pink Grapefruit Surprise

Clam shell that I received in a de-stash and it was amazing! It was older but performed very well.

Vendor; KISS My Wax

Scent; Wonderberry Sugar Cookie Candy

This vendor isn’t open anymore and I received this in a swap box. I melted it in my living room and it was an amazing scent!

Vendor; Kushner Kreations

Scent; Bobbie’s Blend

This was a tart my youngest daughter melted in her room. It was a flower that I cut in 4. All 4 slices were amazing! It was such a strong and tropical scent.

Vendor; Kushner Kreations

Scent; Strawberry Pretzel

This was a sample I received in an order. I generally don’t like pretzel scents, but this one is amazing! The pretzel isn’t overpowering like most I’ve had are.

Vendor; New Moon Candles

Scent; Butter Rum Pecan

I purchased a sample with my last order and this was one of them. It was very strong and very good but didn’t last very long.

Vendor; Sweet Sensations Wax Melts & More

Scent; Vanilla Bean Noel

I melted this in my bedroom and of course it was amazing! They were little fortune cookies.

Vendor; Simply Soy

Scent; Grandmas Kitchen

This was a clam shell that I received in a de-stash and it performed very well even being as old as it was!

Unknown Vendor

Scent; Caramel Apple

This was a clam shell from the huge de-stash. I melted two cubes of it. It smelled amazing on cold, however the wax was very slimy and sticky. It didn’t perform good at all in any of my warmers.

Vendor; Frankie’s Scents

Scent; Shaving Cream

I purchased this directly from the vendor. Now I had zero issues with all other wax that was purchased. This clam shell was very slimly and weird feeling. It smelled very good on cold but didn’t throw at all on warm in any warmer.

Vendor; Whispering Meadows

Scent; Green Irish Tweed

This was a scent shot that the owner sent to me in a RAOK. It smelled amazing on cold and performed fairly well. It wasn’t very strong, however it was a scent that you could smell. It was very pleasant!

Vendor; Chloe & Me

Scent; Blueberry, Birthday Cake & Fizzy Pop

This was a really cool Star Wars loaf that was given to my son (by me). He finally decided that he wanted it cut up! It smelled amazing on cold and while cutting. He put some in both of his bedroom warmers and it was amazing! He loves Blueberry so this was perfect!

Vendor; The Glitterati Candle Company

Scent; Christmas Tree.

This was from December 2014 and my daughter was insistant on melting this in her room. It still had a faint scent on cold but nothing while melting. I don’t think this was the fault of the vendor at all, it was just “lost and found”.

Vendor; Webby’s Wax

Scent; Birthday Cake

This was given to me as either a RAOK or in a swap. I have never had this vendor’s wax before. It was a bag of bears that were melted in several different spots. This is an amazing birthday cake scent! Very strong and long lasting.

Vendor; New Moon Candles

Scent; Winter Wonderland

I melted this in my office. It was a very good scent but not long lasting. Sadly I love this vendor but maybe I’ll stick with candles when ordering as those are great!

Vendor; Creative Enchantment

Scent; Berries & Cream

I melted this in two different “sittings”. It was the cutest bat tart that I had cut in half. It smells amazing!

Vendor; Whispering Meadows

Scent; VBN Volcano

This was a scent shot that I received in either a RAOK or a swap. It smelled amazing on cold. While melting it was light but there and was truly amazing!

I will update this to add where you can order from these vendors!
