Lightning Round Reviews #11!

More reviews, lightning style! Gotta throw these empty wrappers away, y'all! :)
Tiffany Candles Guava
Cold Rating5/10
Lit Rating: 6/10
Throw Rating5.5/10
Overall Rating5.5/10; nothing special, just a fruity scent, not overly strong, just medium. I doubt I'd repurchase this, maybe in a blend.
Tiffany Candles Kulu Bay
Cold Rating6/10
Lit Rating: 6/10
Throw Rating: 5.5/10
Overall Rating6/10; I like this one but wish it was a bit stronger! A nice fruity scent with bits of slight herbalness. Decent, would be better in a smaller room. Possible repurchase.
Tiffany Candles Mandarin Tiki
Cold Rating6.5/10
Lit Rating: 6.5/10
Throw Rating: 6/10
Overall Rating6.5/10; a good balance between mandarin orange and berry sweetness. Very nice! Would repurchase, might be better in a blend.
Sniff My Tarts Honeydew
Cold Rating7/10
Lit Rating: 7.5/10
Throw Rating7.5/10
Overall Rating7.5/10; this one little tart had an incredible throw! I have not liked many stand alone honeydew scents before, but this one is lovely! Juicy, sweet, and overall quite nice. Would repurchase.
Sniff My Tarts Lemon Bundt Cake
Cold Rating7/10
Lit Rating: 8/10
Throw Rating7.5/10
Overall Rating7.5/10; another great one from SMT! Nice blend of bakery and lemon. Would definitely repurchase, nice strong throw!
Ollie's Soaps Apple Iced Tea
Cold Rating8/10
Lit Rating: 8/10
Throw Rating8/10
Overall Rating8/10; it's scents like this that make me sad Ayano isn't making wax right now...her apple blends are INSANELY good! Mixed with her iced tea, which I know I love, fab! Amazing throw. Would buy this in bulk.
Ollie's Soaps Lemon Colada
Cold Rating5/10
Lit Rating: 4.5/10
Throw Rating6/10
Overall Rating: 5/10; this one was okay, but something about the lemon mixed with pina colada was just not attractive to my nose. Not a repurchase for me.
Ollie's Soaps Lime Cooler
Cold Rating5.5/10
Lit Rating: 4/10
Throw Rating4/10
Overall Rating4.5/10; a lime scent that is also sort of medicinal. I don't dig this one.
Pics, Petals & Scents Out of this World
Cold Rating6/10
Lit Rating: 6.5/10
Throw Rating6/10
Overall Rating6/10; orange and serendipity, I think? This one is nice, but I get mostly orange. I might repurchase this, as it was a nice smaller room scent. I wished I could have gotten a bit more serendipity.
Pics, Petals & Scents Pineapple Paprika
Cold Rating5.5/10
Lit Rating: 6/10
Throw Rating7/10
Overall Rating6/10; strangely good! Not super spicy or anything, just a pineapple.
Pics, Petals & Scents Fuzzy Bellybutton
Cold Rating6/10
Lit Rating: 7/10
Throw Rating6/10
Overall Rating6/10; orange? interesting! I liked this, decent throw, good scent!
Pics, Petals & Scents Vanilla Buttercream Waffle Cone
Cold Rating6.5/10
Lit Rating: 7/10
Throw Rating6/10
Overall Rating6.5/10; better on cold throw, surprisingly. A decent serendipity, but nothing to write home about, I suppose. Lasted 3 hours before I needed a change. PS: this shop is now closed.
Pics, Petals & Scents Blue Raspberry Slushie/Fruity Rings
Cold Rating4/10
Lit Rating: 3/10
Throw Rating: 4/10
Overall Rating4/10; not a fan of this blend. For some reason, the combination made this astringent. Not good.

FIN!

  1. Every time I see honeydew in wax, I get a little nervous. Maybe some PTS from CFTKR honeydew and whipped cream. Glad to hear SMT was a goodie.

    Ollie's Apple Iced Tea! Sounds great. I would totally order that off of this review. Are they closed for good or closed for now?

    1. Totally know what you mean about honey dew...it's true! Ugh, that CFTKR scent was not pleasant.

      Ollie's is closed for now. She opened a cupcake business and needed to focus on that for a while. Hopefully she will open again at some point!

    2. I've had Can-Do's Honeydews and Cream, and I thought it was really nice. Kinda similar to cucumber as far as being a fresh scent but sweeter. I take it its not the same for all vendors? lol

      Love your lightening round Lauren!! Yummy scents!

    3. I will have to try it from Can Do, CFTKR's was just overwhelmingly strange. I don't think it's the same from all vendors!

      Thank you, Ashley! I like making these posts! :)

    1. Yes! I was surprised, but wasn't a fan. Yikes!
