I use the following warmers;
20 watt glade warmer in my office
20 watt glade warmer in my family room
20 watt glade warmer in my kitchen
20 watt glade warmer in my son's room
20 watt Scentsy Stargazer warmer in my bedroom (Light Bulb)
25 watt Scentsy warmer in my living room
15 watt Scentsy warmer in the laundry room bathroom
15 watt Happy Wax warmer in the main bathroom


The opinions I put here are my opinions/experiences only. I fully urge each and everyone of you to form your own opinions/experiences on vendors for yourself by placing an order and getting a de-stash. Candles have many aspects to them and if I say I had a hard time burning one candle that doesn't mean the rest from the same vendor will be like that.


Candles;

Kushner Kreations
Owner; April Kushner

Scent; Oatmeal Milk & Honey
Scent Description; Fresh aroma of hawthorne, with nuances of creamy French vanilla, soy milk and a base note of nutty almond
Thoughts; This smelled very nice! It's such a nice clean spa type scent, the candle burned perfectly without any issues

Yankee Candle
This was my youngest son's candle

Scent; Island Waterfall
Scent Description; Ozone, Waterlily, Freesia & Musk
Thoughts; This candle sat for a bit and it was really slimy, the oil was leaking out and it just didn't look nice. It smelled great for a few burns then just didn't smell at all

North Crest
Shopko Brand Candle

Scent; Vanilla Bean
Scent Description; Typical Vanilla Bean Scent
Thoughts; This candle tunneled at first, I put a type of aluma lid on it and it burned perfectly fine. It had a nice light scent but a scent that filled the room

Melting;

Creative Enchantment

Super Tarts
Owner; Brandy Tarts

Scent; Monster House
Scent Description; Apple Cinnamon Cobbler, Sweet Potato Souffle, butter pecan with a hint of fresh peach
Thoughts; This was not the scent for me, however it threw excellent. This was given to me and the clam shell is one that is really gross and soft. I am unsure why this vendor's wax does this, but when paying $4.50 a clam shell I would also want the packaging to hold up

Scent; Hotel Cortez
Scent Description; Pumpkin Pecan Waffles, Tres Leche Cake & Cinnamon Donuts
Thoughts; This was really nice, all the scents went nicely together


Wicked Wax of the East

Thoughts; My son is obsessed with blueberry so I let him melt this in his room, you could literally smell every scent and it was super good!

Web; None
Facebook; Unsure as I was blocked

Thoughts; The older this got, the more it started to smell strange, I don't know if it was my nose or the wax

Final Thoughts on this vendor; She is no longer open, or at least that I can find. She did block me from the facebook group so I am unsure if that is even still open. Mind you, I was only aware that Crumble Wax Company was a thing, I had never ordered and only knew about the drama thanks to other wax groups. The owner of Arcadian Oils, turns out was someone who uprooted her entire family and life to move and work for Crumble. After that didn't work out she decided to open her own wax business with her “knowledge”. A friend of mine found them and she had a special that you received this cute mini unicorn loaf with any purchase, so why not! I placed an order for the cupcake melts in “Happy Birthday”. Her oils went on “back order” and her TAT was so long. She doubled everyone's order. As a vendor myself I tried to just sit back as I know that oils tend to not go on months long back orders. When I finally received my order, nothing was labeled, everything was wrapped in syran wrap. When I appreoaced her regarding it she advised me that everyone she has ever ordered from ships and packages this way and also told me I was a liar regarding items not being labeled. I opened the box on camera for my YouTube and had proof. I was really nice in advising her of her incorrect packaging. She then went and decided to post a mile long rant about me “bullying” her. She certainly knew what she was doing with making wax, however her customer service skills are very lacking and she didn't have the thick skin needed to run a business


Bath & Body;

Vendor; Chloe N Me
Product; Lip Balm
Flavor/Scent; Cherry Cola
Flavor/Scent Description; Good Ole' Fashioned Cherry Cola
Thoughts; This was a nice balm, but it got “gritty” towards the end. I'm not sure what happened
