Swift & Supersonically Snappy Short Review #91: Haley's Heavenly Scents' Toasted Pink Sugar

It. Is. Too. Damn. Hot.
Haley's Heavenly Scents' Toasted Pink Sugar
Cold Rating: 9/10
Lit Rating: 9/10
Throw Rating: 9/10
Overall Rating: 9/10; almost perfection. Lasted FOREVER. 2 cubes per melt, 3 times the wax. 2 cubes is perfect. Perfect combination of toasted marshmallow (ONE OF THE BEST IN THE BIZ) and super strong pink sugar. Slightly musky from PS, super sweet. Goo. Goo is an awful word. Bright pink. These clamshells got skuuuuuuuuunkyyyyyyyy after a while. People who say skunky smell doesn't transfer to melting wax are insane, it toes does. Oils on oils on oils. Haley's is one of my favorite vendors.

Haul: Haley's Heavenly Scents Haul #3!

In a moment of desperation and weakness and fear of running out of "the mints" (LOL yeah right), I purchased from Haley's Heavenly Scents when she was having a sale of some kind. Janet, the owner of this fine establishment, has the best sales. Serious, if you want to order during a major holiday, This order has been curing for over a month (I think??). Let's start with the clamshells!
The front of the clamshells and her label. Simple and sweet.
Pink sugar + spearmint
Pink spearmint is amazing. Strong, lovely, my fav. Such a great and trusted combo.
Toasted marshmallow and spearmint? YUM. This smells so good and is super strong. Excellent. When I melted this, it threw like a champ!
Obvs spearmint.
One of the best, strongest, most accurate spearmint scents I have ever smelled. You can read my review of this here!
The spearmint, toasted marshmallow and pink sugar are all winners, but when blended together? WATCH OUT, WORLD.
Our blend of Toasted Marshmallow and Pink Sugar (HHS blend)
Janet makes some of the best pink sugar blends. I can only imaging how tremendous Toasted Pink Sugar will smell while warming. The toasted marshmallow comes through meshed with her strong pink sugar...mmmmm. Anything marshmallow is okay in my book!
Pink sugar + peppermint
I love HHS's pink peppermints, but for some reason, it smells even stronger in her clamshell formula. What!? I have yet to melt this, but I am impressed based on cold sniff.
Jasmine, honeysuckle, and orange blossom
Summer means jasmine scents are more acceptable, to me! Sweet jasmine Vine is a very sweet floral, but packs a punch. The clamshell smelled a little bit skunky to be, but I simply put it into a polypro bag and moved on my merry way!
Fluffy toasted marshmallow + pink sugar
An infinite, all the time repurchase, I tried fluffy pink toasted marshmallow in grubby form this order. I don't think it makes a difference one bit, but I like these shapes and it's easy to use one versus more than one. MMMMMMMMMMm. If you're a marshmallow or pink sugar fan, TRY THIS SCENT. You will NOT be disappointed.
A cool, wintery exhilarating blend of peppermint, crushed candy canes and vanilla.
Jacqui, aka The Scholarly Nail/The Scholarly Nail's Wax Blog gave me a tart in Elsa's Ice Castle a while back and I loved it. It's definitely got peppermint, but it's also a touch sweeter, too. Okay, I just looked it up and it's listed above. Spot on! Very strong as well.
Strawberry, raspberry, guava + an incredible iced champagne mixed with rich sweet raspberry and cranberry.
I have been obsessed with strawberry raspberry guava AND blonde moment, but together? WHAT! This is amazing when warmed. So fruity and strong. And a bit bubbly.
Very strong cinnamon scent
Melted this already. It's your basic hot and spicy cinnamon scent. Good, but rather boring.
Citrus notes of lemon & orange blended with strong fresh cut green grass to mask bad odors
I didn't like this one at all. It smells like plastic melting. Not a fan. Fresh plastic melting. Ewie.
A fragrance oil so true to it's name.  Imagine a marshmallow on a stick slightly toasted by the fire ~ BEST SELLER + Rich creamy frosting flavored with a STRONG base of sugary sweet cotton candy confection! Strawberry, Raspberry, Plum, sugary crystals and sweet vanilla
Cotton candy frosting anything is a-okay in my book. Add toasted marshmallow and it's a winner, well, probably. Look at that description. I want to lick this scent. Weird? I don't care. :P
Our blend of Toasted Marshmallow, Fresh Strawberries and Vanilla Bean Noel (HHS blend)
Sweet, candy like, toasty and creamy. What else could you want in a scent?
Toasted marshmallow? Vanilla bean noel? Lemon curd? HELL YES. This smells strong and amazing. Woohoo!!
I melted this and LOVED it. It was such a surprise! Very delicate, sort of strong, but not overly so. I might even buy this again.
The fresh aroma blend of Sicilian orange, lemongrass, lemon slices, jasmine, green tea, and Tahitian vanilla
Chubba Dubba was a sample and a real winner. Not my typical type of scent, but fruity and fun and I really enjoyed it.
Duplicate of Yankee Candle
This smells like a sweet floral. It's not my favorite on cold sniff, but we'll see how it smells while warming.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There's my Haley's Heavenly Scents order! Any favs from this vendor? Have you ordered from her sales?

Swift & Supersonically Snappy Short Review #78: Haley's Heavenly Scents' Strawberry Raspberry Guava Blonde Moment

June is upon us. Does anyone know when strawberries are at their peak ripeness?
Haley's Heavenly Scents Strawberry Raspberry Guava Blonde Moment
Cold Rating: 8/10
Lit Rating: 8.5/10
Throw Rating: 8.5/10
Overall Rating: 8.5/10; Strawberry scent is sweet, raspberry scent is juicy, guava scent is tropical. Look at the oils! Always impressed with HHS and their oils. When this is mixed with blonde moment, it is INSANE. So good. Fruity, sort of bubbly, extra strong. Unexplored fruits, unseasoned foodie. Guava = ?. Lasting power. Lasted 12 hours in the bedroom. Lots of words on the label, mouthful scent name. It's always very obvious what you're getting when you get scents like this from Haley's. Warmer days, longer nights. Needing a new fan for the wall. Hatred of summer. Making a smoothie with strawberry, raspberry and guava? Strawberry, raspberry, guava is a theme for me this year apparently. Bottling blonde moment into a perfume, has this been done? A must buy from this vendor!!!

Swift & Supersonically Snappy Short Review #72: Haley's Heavenly Scents' Spearmint

Since it's my birthday, I figured I'd melt something pepperminty, but this bad boy has been going since yesterday, so I'm not going to be the cause of its stopping. ;)
Haley's Heavenly Scents' Spearmint
Cold Sniff Rating: 10/10
Warm Sniff Rating: 10/10
Throw Rating: 10/10
Overall Rating: 10/10; In this case, soy greatly > outweighs paraffin. Insane, ridiculous, intense throw. Cold and warm scent are off the chain strong. 10/10 all the way. Loving mints, obsessed with mints, mostly at night, but any other time will do, too. Smells like gum, but again, in a good way. Disliking gum in spearmint flavor, but liking mints in spearmint flavor. 2-3 cubes per melt, usually 2, but this time, I went all out with 3 per. Needing to order from this vendor more frequently, but she mostly sells paraffin. Dreaded clamshells not so bad this time around. LEGIT OILS, came off on my fingers and I didn't care at all. Lasted from the morning yesterday until the afternoon today. Mints over gum any day, I will fight you on this. Birthdays, happy birthdays. Getting older. Almost 30. Scared. Cold. Naked and afraid Ok, not naked, just afraid. A 10/10 melt should whip me into shape. ;)

Swift & Supersonically Snappy Short Review #10: Haley's Heavenly Scents' Lemon Chiffon

Do you have a favorite fruit?? One of mine is lemon. I know, I know, weird, right? But, lemon is so versatile. Pop some flour, sugar, and egg with lemon and get lemon cake. Put lemon and butter and capers together and you have a pasta sauce. Water and lemon and sugar? No problem, lemonade! YUM!
Haley's Heavenly Scents' Lemon Chiffon
Cold Rating: 6/10
Lit Rating: 6.5/10
Throw Rating: 6.5/10
Overall Rating: 6.5/10; creaminess mixed with lemon, right up my alley. Not intensely strong while warming and could have had a stronger throw. Small traces of cleaner lemon. Versatility of lemons in life. Pasta is my one "desert island food." Cold lemonade on hot, summer days. Mmmmmmmmmm, cake. What is chiffon? Reminds me of meringue. Double F's in words! Word search puzzles. Double Z's in words!! YAY!!!!111~~~``**

Review: Haley's Heavenly Scents' Pink Christmas Cookies

You guyssssssssss...I miss Christmas. :(
Now, I personally don't know the difference between cookie cookies and Christmas cookies. They all end up in mah belly at the end of the day. Would someone care to enlighten me if they know the difference? :)
Really though, any pink blend from Haley's Heavenly Scents is sure to be a good one. Her pink scents are generally amazing.
Pink Christmas Cookies is really no exception.
On cold sniff, this just smells like a bakery and pink sugar scent, but while warming, it actually takes on more of that fresh baked cookie smell. It's really nice. I actually prefer my bakery scents with pink sugar because pink sugar makes everything in life better.
As far as warm sniff performance goes, this had a medium-high scent throw and I really haven't a thing to complain about. It was a great mix of the two scents, lasted all day (around 8 hours total), and affirmed my belief in HHS as being a pink sugar goldmine.
Look at those OILS. Dang!

~~~~~~~~~~
Haley's Heavenly Scents' Pink Christmas Cookies
Cold Rating: 6.5/10; the majority of this on cold sniff is pink sugar, but I still get a slight whiff of cookies.
Lit Rating: 7.5/10; that cookie note comes out more while melting, and when it's combined with the wonderful pink sugar from HHS, this really was quite a treat. Love this blend and I will always repurchase it.
Throw Rating: 7/10; medium-high throw and good longevity, I didn't get tired of this like I do other bakery blends. Haley's makes a bitchin' "cookie" scent.
Overall Rating: 7/10; great mix of pink sugar and warm, buttery cookies. Christmas sadness because it's gone Christmas HAPPINESS because cookies and carols and lights and happiness and family!!! Raised electric bill. LOL MIDDLE FINGER SNOWMAN. Gold everything!!!!!!!!!!!```1111~~``

It's cold here in SD! It was a hot, hot weekend, and now I am sitting here with a winter hat on my head. LOL, what a baby. :P

Haley's Heavenly Scents Cotton Candy
Cold Rating: 4/10
Lit Rating: 4/10
Throw Rating: 3/10
Overall Rating: 4/10; disappointed in this. It was so weak, you had to be right above it to smell it. I wanted to like this, but it was really plain and not in a good way. Eh. Not a repurchase. HHS makes better cotton candy blends than this!
Haley's Heavenly Scents Toasted Vanilla Delicious
Cold Rating: 8/10
Lit Rating: 8/10
Throw Rating: 8/10
Overall Rating: 8/10; amaaaaaaaaaaaaaazing! It's so luscious and womderfully vanilla. That's it! It's perfect and magical. YUM. I got this in a RR, but I WILL purchase this. Lasted 6 hours! YUM!
Daphne's Divine Scents and Aromas' Pink Mojito
Cold Rating: 6/10
Lit Rating: 5.5/10
Throw Rating: 6/10
Overall Rating: 6/10; this was nice, but a bit astringent. The throw was a bit above medium, too. The pink was nice on cold, but not really there while warming. Decent! Sample, but may repurchase.

Cold Rating: 6.5/10
Lit Rating: 6.5/10
Throw Rating: 6/10
Overall Rating: 6.5/10; nice blend! Lasted about 4 hours, and I might repurchase. I used 2 square tarts and I probably should have only used one. This was good.

Cold Rating: 7.5/10
Lit Rating: 8/10
Throw Rating: 7.5/10
Overall Rating: 7.5/10; this is amaaaaaaaaazing!!! I love this scent! It smells JUST LIKE the ice cream version. Fruity, creamy, delicious. Lasted 6 hours, fantastic! Would repurchase!
Lasting Scent Candles Sweet Dreams
Cold Rating: 6/10
Lit Rating: 5.5/10
Throw Rating: 5.5/10
Overall Rating: 6/10; this was okay, but I wanted a bit more throw from this. Something in this was off, a bit sour smelling. Not sure if it was just this scent in general, or if it was THIS scent shot. I think I have another in this scent, so we will see. I love LSC's lavender. Possible repurchase??
Lasting Scent Candles Serendipity Ambrosia
Cold Rating: 6/10
Lit Rating: 6/10
Throw Rating: 6/10
Overall Rating: 6/10; an alright serendipity scent with other fruits mixed in, if I'm not mistaken. It was nice, but I wanted something a bit more. That being said, I would repurchase because it was pretty good!
Lasting Scent Candles Raspberry Love
Cold Rating: 7.5/10
Lit Rating: 7.5/10
Throw Rating: 7/10
Overall Rating: 7.5/10; lovely raspberry scent! Like I've said before, I don't know what "LOVE" is, but "I want you to show me" (points if you get the song reference, lol). Great! Very fresh raspberry, almost like a sorbet. Not overly floral! Repurchase!
Lasting Scent Candles Strawberry Fields
Cold Rating: 8/10
Lit Rating: 8/10
Throw Rating: 8/10
Overall Rating: 8/10; amazeballs. So, so good. A bit of a fresh strawberry mixed with subtle hints of candied strawberry. MMMMMM! Love this! Definite repurchase, lasted 4 hours.
Lasting Scent Candles Spun Sugar Apples
Cold Rating: 6/10
Lit Rating: 5.5/10
Throw Rating: 5.5/10
Overall Rating: 5.5/10; I don't get what the fuss is about with this scent. I just got a basic sweet apple scent, nothing much more. It was okay, but nothing spectacular. Lasted 4 hours. Not a repurchase!
Lasting Scent Candles Coral Rock Candy
Cold Rating: 6.5/10
Lit Rating: 6.5/10
Throw Rating: 6/10
Overall Rating: 6/10; I wanted to like the air when this scent was melting! It smelled SOOO good, so fruity, so orangy, so great! Pretty strong throw, sweet candied orange scent. Repurchase!
Lasting Scent Candles Pink Lemonade
Cold Rating: 6.5/10
Lit Rating: 6/10
Throw Rating: 6/10
Overall Rating: 6/10; sweet, lemony, which is good since sometimes pink and lemonade can come off as a bit astringent. This didn't do that! Decent, but not a repurchase. Lasted 4 hours!
Lasting Scent Candles Lemon Sun Tea
Cold Rating: 6.5/10
Lit Rating: 4.5/10
Throw Rating: 5/10
Overall Rating: 5/10; I had such high hopes for this scent. I wanted it to be like London Calling from Bath & Body Works, but alas, no dice. It was okay, but not super strong, and not even that citrusy. I have a few more of these, so I may let them cure for longer and try (though it's been months). Possible repurchase.
Lasting Scent Candles Strawberry Rock Candy
Cold Rating: 9/10
Lit Rating: 8.5/10
Throw Rating: 8/10
Overall Rating: 8.5/10; yummmmmmmmmmmm! Delicious sweet strawberry that I will always want to repurchase. So sweet, so good, smells like candy. Try this one!
Can-Do-Candles Citrus Zinger
Cold Rating: 7/10
Lit Rating: 7.5/10
Throw Rating: 7.5/10
Overall Rating: 7.5/10; another amazing citrus scent! I have either really great lucky with Can-Do, or really crappy luck with Can-Do. This was a super-duper orange scent with a hint of spice. Great for fall! Definite repurchase!
Tara's Candle Cottage's Brown Sugar & Fig
Cold Rating: 8/10
Lit Rating: 7/10
Throw Rating: 7/10
Overall Rating: 7/10; extremely similar to the B&BW scent, very nice! I love this scent! Definite repurchase!

Lit Rating: 6/10
Throw Rating: 7/10
Overall Rating: 6/10; your basic laundry scent! Not much else to say about that!
Tara's Candle Cottage's Seaside
Cold Rating: 7.5/10
Lit Rating: 7.5/10
Throw Rating: 8/10
Overall Rating: 7.5/10; this is a very oceany scent. VERY oceany! Not much else. It's almost ocean/laundry. It's really great! I should have melted this in the kitchen, but I did it in the bedroom and it was tooooooo much. Very lovely. Repurchase!

Have a fantastic rest of your week, waxy friends! :)

Lightning Round Reviews #14!

I CAN ALMOST THROW AWAY ALL MY MISCELLANEOUS MELTS! WOOHOO!!
Hearts & Tarts Cherry Cookie (Frosted Sugar Cookie Cherry Bomb???)
Cold Rating: 6.5/10
Lit Rating: 3/10
Throw Rating: 2/10
Overall Rating: 3/10; this scent cold smells awesome, very nice. On warm throw, I got basically nothing. No throw, no scent, and this was a hand-sized cookie. Sadness. Not a repurch.
Hearts & Tarts Sour Watermelon Candy
Cold Rating: 6/10
Lit Rating: 7/10
Throw Rating: 6/10
Overall Rating: 6/10; a very lovely sour watermelon candy! I like this, it's pretty awesome. Repurch!

Cold Rating: 6/10
Lit Rating: 6/10
Throw Rating: 6/10
Overall Rating: 6/10; super pink sugar plus a tiny bit of noggy spice. I blended and it was pretty nice, but not a repurchase of either scents. I can get pink sugar elsewhere and didn't really care for pink nog by itself.
Hidden Gems Wax's Down by the Bay
Cold Rating: 5.5/10
Lit Rating: 6/10
Throw Rating: 6/10
Overall Rating: 6/10; my first melt from this company, from the Simply Sensational Sampler. I made the mistake of melting this in the kitchen, and I'm sure it would have performed much better in a smaller space. It was a nice floral and beachy scent. Perfect for the end of summer. Possible purchase?
BeauxSavonsFrais' Wildberry Mallow Fried Ice Cream
Cold Rating: 6/10
Lit Rating: 5/10
Throw Rating: 5/10
Overall Rating: 5/10; I didn't like the fried ice cream part of this scent when warming, but the wildberry mallow is awesome. Throw could have been a bit bigger. Not a purch.
Pics, Petals & Scents Cherry Koolaid
Cold Rating: 3/10
Lit Rating: 3/10
Throw Rating: 3/10
Overall Rating: 3/10; I didn't like this AT ALL. Ew. It smelled light cherry cough syrup and luckily it wasn't strong. Yikes. Not a repurchase.
Crabby Candle Co.'s Bailey's In Bed
Cold Rating: 5/10
Lit Rating: 5/10
Throw Rating: 5/10
Overall Rating: 5/10; there was an overly chocolate note in this, though it did smell like Bailey's Irish Cream. Okay, but not a repurchase. Middle of the road, IMO.
Crabby Candle Co.'s Cactus & Sea Salt
Cold Rating: 6/10
Lit Rating: 6/10
Throw Rating: 6/10
Overall Rating: 6/10; so, so good. Definite repurchase. The cotton candy from BL meshed so well with pink sugar...so lovely and just what I needed!

Cold Rating: 6.5/10
Lit Rating: 6.5/10
Throw Rating: 7.5/10

Can-Do-Candles Sugar Beans
Cold Rating: 5/10
Lit Rating: 6/10
Throw Rating: 6/10
Overall Rating: 6/10; this is a pretty good VBN dupe, but not my favorite. That being said, the throw on this was good, and it was nice!
Sugar Pie Scents' Cactus & Sea Salt
Cold Rating: 6/10
Lit Rating: 6/10
Throw Rating: 6/10
Overall Rating: 6/10; a pretty good version of cactus and sea salt! I shoulda melted this in a smaller room, though. Oh well!

Have a good week friends!
