Disclaimer/Discloser;
All wax I have purchased or it has been sent to me in swaps that I do. I try and remember and disclose that information. I am never sent anything for free from the vendors
These are my opinions and mine only. This is not meant to influence your purchase just to share with you my experiences with vendors
I will never, won't ever and have never bashed another vendor. Sharing my experiences both good and bad is not bashing.

I do not believe in Ass wax. If the wax is going to throw it's going to throw. No wax should need more than 2 weeks from pour date to fully cure.

Yes, I am a vendor. I have been purchasing wax and candles for as long as I can remember. I do love to share my experiences. I enjoy wax and candles and will continue to make my own and purchase but I will never review my own here

I have a tendency to yawn when I get talking. Not sure why I just do! I'm sorry in advance

Things that drive me crazy;
No vendor or scent name on labels. This is basically advertising and why wouldn't you do it? Plus if I get or send to someone else and they or me want more, how do they know who to buy it from?

All over prices. I have been noticing vendors lately have 2 ounces of one shape for a certain price, then the same ounces of a different shape for a different price. This is a huge turn off for me

Restocks that only have certain quantities and the sell out right away. I have no tolerance for that and just won't order

Vendors who take a single scent and make it sound like a blend. I feel like this is duping your customers and shouldn't be done. People who do empty videos, who are also vendors, that review their own product.


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 Happy Wax warmer in my living room
15 watt scentsy warmer in the laundry room bathroom
15 watt scentsy 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.

Thoughts;

I like RG wax, there are some scents that don't throw the best for me but for the most part I get a good smelling wax.

I am always very happy with her version of mystery boxes, they also seem to be getting bigger and it's always fun to try new scents.

I really wish the scent list would be fully updates, especially when she sends new scents with the mystery boxes as I can't find descriptions.

Wax; Swanky May Order

Vendor; Swanky
Owner; Jeannie Jeffrey

What I received;

Palo Santo Sampler;

Old Soul- Palo Santo chunks, over poured with Clean Shave (more like shaving cream and not a cologne aroma), and smooth Coconut Milk.
Total Zen - Palo Santo chunks, over poured with sweet lavender, Let Them Eat Cake (not a cake scent..more of a sensual vanilla), Toasted Marshmallow.
Palo Santo Moonflower - Palo Santo chunks, over poured with our own best seller Moonflower blend (a sweet floral with sensual vanilla) to make this scent so mystical! Very relaxing and somewhat sensual as well.
Bad Romance- (Palo Santo and our Secret Romance blend) Palo Santo chunks, blended with our Secret Romance blend (Amber Romance Sandalwood Black Opium Pink Sugar)
Into the Woods- Palo Santo, Vanilla Sandalwood, Cedarwood, Amber Romance. Pink Sugar.
Palo Santo Blackberry and Sensual Vanilla- A unique blackberry sensual scent. Perfect for a relaxing summer day.
Palo Santo Vanilla Musk- Calming Palo Santo a soft sensual vanilla musk.




Tahitian Vanilla Sampler;

Tahitian Vanilla Banana Leaves Sensual Vanilla- A warm fruity sensual blend of our authentic scent of banana leaves, coconut milk, and our warm vanilla sensual. Beautiful and relaxing! This blend was inspired by a mix of Yankee's Canary Island candle and BBW's, Ile de Tahiti lotion. Which have been discontinued but never forgotten!
Tahitian Vanilla Strawberry Mango- A super summery fruity blend of coconut milk, a little bit of fresh cut strawberry, and sweet mango. Perfect for a sunny day!
Tahitian Vanilla Wild Peach Cashmere- A warm but refreshing scent of sweet wild peach poppies, warm cashmere, and coconut milk. This blend is fruity and warm without floral notes from the poppy. This is exactly what I had in mind after testing and testing! You will love this!
Tahitian Vanilla Lily Blue Lagoon- A beautiful aquatic blend of our Lily, crystal blue water, and coconut milk! Smells like fresh waterlily and coconut milk. No sea salt notes just a pure, crystal clean, sunny day scent! Amazing!!
Tahitian Vanilla Sandalwood Jasmine Vanilla- This is a heavenly blend of sun warmed sandalwood, BBW's jasmine vanilla (part of the aromatherapy collection), and coconut milk, and our sensual vanilla blend. This blend is a woodsy blend, smooth relaxing warm coconut milk, and all comes together while melting!
Tahitian Vanilla Palo Santo Clean Shave- Our Old Soul blend! This blend is one of our top selling Palo Santo blends! It is extremely calming blend of Palo Santo, a touch of Clean Shave, calming smooth coconut milk, and our sensual vanilla makes this blend unbelievable!
Tahitian Vanilla Let Them Eat Cake Strawberry Vanilla Lace- This blend is the absolute best ever!! We blended warm sensual coconut milk, sensual vanilla, a bit of fresh cut strawberry, Let Them Eat Cake, and Vanilla Lace. This is a unique summer blend that really lifts my spirits! A must try!
Tahitian Vanilla Watermelon Sensual Amber- This blend has always been a favorite in our family. My daughter was melting this, and I couldn't believe how amazing it was together! It's very sensual actually! Authentic watermelon, cozy sensual amber (BBW type), Let Them Eat Cake (a Tokyo Milk dupe- not cake at all), our warm sensual vanilla blend. A must try!

Snowy Night; Winter Soiree Palo Santo Smoked Vanilla



Holiday; Palo Santo, Roasted Pinecones, Smoked Vanilla, Vanilla Bean Noel



Scent Shots;

Jezebel- Sweet, wild, and totally gorgeous! Sweet vanilla bean, a hint of wild rose blended with mysterious smoked vanilla marshmallow. A rose scent like no other! The rose notes in this blend aren't intrusive or old lady but absolutely a sweet rose that can be excused from the old lady list of roses! A floral sensual blend.

Coconut Rain Shower- A downpour of refreshing, warm, fruity rain. We added a touch of coconut milk, which brought it all together! This is an addictive scent! It's not too fruity or too aquatic but just right! A must try!



Loaf;
Missing Paris- Wildberry Cream Cake, Strawberry, and Sweet on Paris



Extra “Love” received
Strawberry Clean Shave
Green Tea & Chamomile
Mango Passion Fruit



Thoughts;

It seems like a larger order but I ordered for my friend as well. It would have actually been bigger had items not jumped from my cart. I normally don't order from vendors who have ordering styles like this, however swanky has not been open for a bit and I have been a bit obsesed with Palo Santo and wanted a few things

I didn't get everything I or my friend wanted but I did get most of it. Her shipping for this RTS was set 5-21 days which seems extreme for RTS and I feel like I got mine last. I wish she could/would do pre-orders or offer a customs list, however she ran into huge issues during her last time with unruly customers

Swanky is a vendor in my home who has medium scented wax, no matter the scent it is just medium but I like that, I don't always need real over the top or super strong.
