Subscription Box Corner: June 2016's Flicker Box!

I KNOW, I KNOW, I HATE ME, TOO.

I am so behind on this blog, actually, I'm behind on literally everything in life, but still, never giving up! I just like to actually melt these candles before I review them. So, I am behind. SORRY Y'ALL.

Here's June's Flicker Box.

This month's card!

I had the opportunity to try Hawk + Hatchet from this box many months ago and really enjoy their products. I haven't been looking to buy many more candles since these subscription boxes fill me up in the candle department, but if I had to choose one vendor to go back to based on my experiences with these sub. boxes, it'd be this one. This Port Angeles candle looks small, but it packs a mighty, fragrant punch! I have used this candle clean to the bottom I loved it that much. Its sandalwood top notes can be smelled immediately after opening the lid. This is an earthy, very lovely scent, one of the few with patchouli I love. IMMEDIATE repurchase!

Illume has always called to me, though I've never bought from them outside of subscription boxes. Their Desert Tulip candle was quite excellent. The throw was a solid medium most days, but when I turned the fan on and burned it in the living room, it packed an even bigger punch! It's a delicate floral scent mixed with what one might describe as cactus-y, earthy notes, and a little bit of dirt-swept wind. This company rocks!

I am saving this candle from Armadilla Wax Works in Copper Canyon to give to a friend. It's much too patchouli for me, but I absolutely love the colors and texture of this candle!

Subscription Box Corner: August 2015's Flicker Box Review!

Ahoy, friends! Here's my review for the August Flicker Box, sorry again for my lateness. :(

The box, all wrapped up in a neat bow.

The card detailing the contents of August's box. The theme this month was Wild West. Do you spy something on there that I love?! I DO, I DO!!

Illume luxuary candles sent a Cactue Verde scented one wick soy candle. This is a demi vanity candle and is really pretty. The gorgeously printed and designed top comes off to reveal the candle and instantly, I was hit with fragrance. This was such an excellent scent! A bit of a sea salted air meets light floral freshness scent. I have no had any problems burning this at all, so I'll give it an 8/10.

I SPY PADDYWAX! YAY!! I love Paddywax and have had tremendously good luck with their candles. This is their 7 ounce Desert candle in Cactus Flower & Sage. WOW. This one is slow to start, but really amps up over time. The scent is beautiful and the jar even more so. The orange glass container has a lid on top that is complete with a pull-top of twine and a very lovely card and arrow accent. These candles might be expensive, but by george, they are worth it. I give this a 7/10. Like I said, it takes a while for the scent to build, but even in a larger room, I can smell this really well after a while. Lovely!!

I must admit, I laughed a little when I saw the name of this candle from Soap For Your Soul was Peyote. It made me think of Beavis and Butt-head for some weird reason. This is a soy wax candle with an eco wick. This candle smells pretty sweet mixed with a combination of what I can only describe as clean scents. Limey, maybe some grapefruit, heavy citrus plus that weird fresh scent. It's not bad! It sort of smells like a detergent, but that might just be in my head. It throws decent, too. 6.5/10. Just look at that cool business card, too!

Stay thirsty, my friends!
