Weekend Wax Review: December 27-30

Waking up on the morning of December 22nd, 3 days before my favorite day of the entire year, I felt that all too familiar itchy and scratchy rawness in the back of my throat...
"...oh no," I thought, "I'm going to be sick on Christmas..."
...yup.

...I'm fairly certain I've infected given my cold to every single person I've ever met, so, if I saw you in person this week and you're reading this now, I'm sorry in advance for giving you the plague.

Needless to say, I didn't melt ANYTHING until Thursday night, thus, the extra day in this weekend wax review.

So, Thursday night, I was digging through a bag of single wax tarts when I found Ollie's Soaps' Sinus Relief. DUH, why didn't I do Sinus Relief SOONER in my sickness?! This one was r-i-d-i-c-u-l-o-u-s-l-y STRONG! It really helped with my stuffy nose. In fact, it was a nice, soothing scent, with a bit of medicinal note underneath. On cold sniff, 7/10. While warming, 7/10. The throw was a 6.5/10, for a total of 7/10!

I got my Haley's Heavenly Scents order on Christmas eve, YAY for early waxages (this is what I call a package of wax...Josh thinks I'm nuts, but he says it now, too, HA!)! However, due to the cold, I could not smell anything until the weekend. Friday night, we melted Snow Angels, which was a nice creamy mint scent. I couldn't place what it was while melting, but it smelled like butter. Josh didn't smell the same thing, though, so I chalked it up to my sickness. I don't like to check scent descriptions until AFTER I pour out the wax, so I can see if my ol' sniffer is/was on the right track. Sure enough, this was a buttercream mint Yankee type. On cold sniff, 6/10. While warming, 6/10. The throw wasn't too strong, 5/10, for a total of 6/10.

Blur city up in this picture...but anywho, Tiffany Candles' Snickerdoodle was a sample I've been sitting on for a few months. I was feeling like a cookie scent this morning, so I popped it in. WOW, this one was very pleasant! I'm generally not a cookie type of gal, but this was really, really nice! There was a rich, buttery note mixed in with a cinnamon sugar. On cold sniff, barely anything, 4.5/10, just the faintest hint of cookie. While warming, 6.5/10. This is in the old wax blend, but it was surprisingly strong with a 6.5/10. Overall, 6/10, and I'd love to try this in the new wax blend!

Last, but certainly not least, we have Sniff My Tarts' Pink Coconut Vanilla Butter Fudge...man, oh man, this was simply amazing. Between the creaminess of the coconut, the butteriness of the fudge, and the sweetness of the pink sugar, this has got to be one of my top 10 scents of the year, it was that good. WOWZA. On cold sniff, 7.5/10. While warming, 9.5/10. It was strong, too, 9/10. Grand total is 9/10. If you get a chance to order from this company, TRY. THIS. SCENT. It's incredible how these ladies can blend fragrances together to creating something fantastic!!
