Lightning Round Reviews #12, Front Porch Edition!
Decided to do a Front Porch style lighting round reviews because I have been on a FP kick lately. Schwoot!
Also, Sunnee, have fun on your trip! :)
Front Porch's Cactus & Sea Salt
Cold Rating: 10/10
Lit Rating: 10/10
Throw Rating: 10/10
Overall Rating: 10/10; a fabulous spa/clean/fresh scent! FP makes a brilliant version of this scent, and it's insanely strong. It's also a bit saltier than other versions. Nonetheless, awesome, always repurchase! Lasts long, too!
Front Porch's 14-Karrot Cake
Cold Rating: 1/10
Lit Rating: 1/10
Throw Rating: --/10
Overall Rating: 1/10; I cannot give an accurate assessment of this because it was so ridiculously disgusting that I dumped it BEFORE it was done melting. I can't get the smell out of my nose. It's like...moldy, out of date cream cheese, rotten carrots, and buttery cake mixed in one. OMG. Sorry, Angie, this is not my favorite scent, obviously. Ew. Needless to say, not a repurchase.
Front Porch's Coconut Lime
Cold Rating: 6/10
Lit Rating: 4/10
Throw Rating: 7/10
Overall Rating: 5.5/10; something about the mixture of FP's lime and coconut wasn't pleasant. There was a weird undertone to is and the longer it melted, the stronger that note got. Ick. Not a fan, not a repurchase. Also, strong throw, though.
Front Porch's Cotton Candy Cookies
Cold Rating: 6.5/10
Lit Rating: 7.5/10
Throw Rating: 7/10
Overall Rating: 7/10; melted this in the office and it threw like a madman. Awesome scent, you really get both the cookies and the cotton candy, and they go together very well! Love! Repurch for sure.
Front Porch's Pink Porch
Cold Rating: 5.5/10
Lit Rating: 6/10
Throw Rating: 6/10
Overall Rating: 6/10; pink sugar plus floral linens, methinks? This is decent, but nothing special. Medium throw in the bedroom. Might repurchase to compare. I think this one was old.
Front Porch's Pumpkins & Apples (favorite, re-smell)
Cold Rating: 10/10
Lit Rating: 10/10
Throw Rating: 9.5/10
Overall Rating: 10/10; INSANE THROW. This blend you can actually smell the pumpkin AND apples. This is an awesome scent, but you need to be prepared for apple city. I love it, it might not be for everyone! Repurch!
Front Porch's Serendipity Laundry
Cold Rating: 8.5/10
Lit Rating: 7/10
Throw Rating: 8/10
Overall Rating: 8/10; it seems weird to combine serendipity and laundry, but this scent is really awesome! It's strong, it's linen, and you also get serendipity sweetness. It's a trip! Possible repurchase.
Front Porch's Celtic Moonspice
Cold Rating: 10/10
Lit Rating: 10/10
Throw Rating: 10/10
Overall Rating: 10/10; I could write novels about this scent. It's so, so good. Homey, spicy, not quite bakery, just a brilliant spicy, enveloping amazing scent. I LOVE IT. Strong, repurch, the whole 9...well, the whole 10! LOL! :)
Front Porch's Lemon Bliss Serendipity Cookies
Cold Rating: 6/10
Lit Rating: 6/10
Throw Rating: 6/10
Overall Rating: 6/10; decent scent, but an odd combination. Lemon, serendipity, and cookies? This is nic, medium strength, possible repurchase.
Front Porch's Sweet Pomegranate Crisp
Cold Rating: 3/10
Lit Rating: 3/10
Throw Rating: 7/10
Overall Rating: 5/10; not my favorite. Overly sweet, not very pomegranate-y. It is pretty strong though, which is good, but the scent is not good.
Front Porch's Citrus Serendipity
Cold Rating: 5.5/10
Lit Rating: 6/10
Throw Rating: 6/10
Overall Rating: 6/10; another strange but good blend. The citrus overpowers the serendipity, and it's a bit cloying. Medium throw and decent scent. Possible repurch?
Front Porch's Strawberry Cotton Candy
Cold Rating: 7/10
Lit Rating: 8/10
Throw Rating: 7.5/10
Overall Rating: 7.5/10; strawberry and cotton candy really work well together! I love this scent, it's so great. Very strong, excellent throw and smell in general. Sweet. Repurchase!
Front Porch's Serendipity Ice Cream
Cold Rating: 7.5/10
Lit Rating: 7.5/10
Throw Rating: 6.5/10
Overall Rating: 7.5/10; so creamy! I really like this blend. Decent throw, could be stronger, but very lovely. Luscious smelling. Uber creamy serendipity. Repurchase!
Also, Sunnee, have fun on your trip! :)

Tiffany Candles Guava
Cold Rating: 5/10
Lit Rating: 6/10
Throw Rating: 5.5/10
Overall Rating: 5.5/10; 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 Rating: 6/10
Lit Rating: 6/10
Throw Rating: 5.5/10
Overall Rating: 6/10; 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 Rating: 6.5/10
Lit Rating: 6.5/10
Throw Rating: 6/10
Overall Rating: 6.5/10; a good balance between mandarin orange and berry sweetness. Very nice! Would repurchase, might be better in a blend.
Sniff My Tarts Honeydew
Cold Rating: 7/10
Lit Rating: 7.5/10
Throw Rating: 7.5/10
Overall Rating: 7.5/10; 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 Rating: 7/10
Lit Rating: 8/10
Throw Rating: 7.5/10
Overall Rating: 7.5/10; another great one from SMT! Nice blend of bakery and lemon. Would definitely repurchase, nice strong throw!
Ollie's Soaps Apple Iced Tea
Cold Rating: 8/10
Lit Rating: 8/10
Throw Rating: 8/10
Overall Rating: 8/10; 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 Rating: 5/10
Lit Rating: 4.5/10
Throw Rating: 6/10
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 Rating: 5.5/10
Lit Rating: 4/10
Throw Rating: 4/10
Overall Rating: 4.5/10; a lime scent that is also sort of medicinal. I don't dig this one.
Pics, Petals & Scents Out of this World
Cold Rating: 6/10
Lit Rating: 6.5/10
Throw Rating: 6/10
Overall Rating: 6/10; 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 Rating: 5.5/10
Lit Rating: 6/10
Throw Rating: 7/10
Overall Rating: 6/10; strangely good! Not super spicy or anything, just a pineapple.

Cold Rating: 6/10
Lit Rating: 7/10
Throw Rating: 6/10
Overall Rating: 6/10; orange? interesting! I liked this, decent throw, good scent!
Pics, Petals & Scents Vanilla Buttercream Waffle Cone
Cold Rating: 6.5/10
Lit Rating: 7/10
Throw Rating: 6/10
Overall Rating: 6.5/10; 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 Rating: 4/10
Lit Rating: 3/10
Throw Rating: 4/10
Overall Rating: 4/10; not a fan of this blend. For some reason, the combination made this astringent. Not good.

Review: K's Kreations Rootbeer Float
What's your favorite soda, if you induge? Dr. Pepper and Barq's Root Beer are my top 2 favorites, though I've smelled Dr. Pepper in wax and it's usually never good...
...but for some reason, the sweet and fizzy nature of root beer translated extremely well into wax.
Would you like your house to smell like a cold, fizzy mug of root beer? I KNOW I DO!
So, Kathy, the owner of K's Kreations, mentioned in a thread I had started on her group Facebook page that she loved this scent, that it wasn't a high seller, but she'd never get rid of it because she likes it so much.
Well, I decided to get it in a small fluted melt before I committed to anything too rooty.
...I immediately began plotting my next order after I opened this order came, and I immediately added a bag of Rootbeer Float brittle to that list.
This scent is so spot on! It smells just like a freshly cracked can of root beer, minus a bit of fizziness; don't be concerned, though, this scent IS fizzy! It's sweet, it's accurate, and it's wonderful. The throw is a medium high, which is fine for a scent like this. Josh was extremely pleased with my choice in this scent the other day, and I'm glad I got a back-up bag of brittle since I used this tart!
~~~~~~~~~~
K's Kreations Rootbeer Float
Cold Rating: 8/10; extremely accurate on cold sniff, minus just a skosh of fizziness.
Lit Rating: 8.5/10; so, so good! It really does smell like its soda counterpart. Very nice staple scent, since we're root beer fans.
Throw Rating: 7/10; medium high scent throw, could smell this into the TV room, but not much farther. Did linger for a while, though.
Overall Rating: 8/10; I can't say I'm surprised that I like this. Barq's is the best, no question. Has bite. Rooty flavor in the air makes you thirsty. Agreeing with vendors who seem to know their customers very well!

Lightning Round Reviews #10!
WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE LIGHTNING!!!!!!
Rosegirls Lavender Swizzle Sticks
Cold Rating: 7/10
Lit Rating: 6/10
Throw Rating: 6/10
Overall Rating: 6/10; I like Rosegirls' lavender scent, and the swizzle sticks sweetened it a bit, but it wasn't super strong, not that lavender has to be when you're sleeping. Overall, I liked this, but not a repurchase. I'll stick with lavender and peppermint.
BeauxSavonsFrais Watermelon Patch (dupe)
Cold Rating: 6.5/10
Lit Rating: 7/10
Throw Rating: 6/10
Overall Rating: 6.5/10; awesome watermelon scent, just wish it would have been a hair stronger. I've never smelled the Scentsy scent named for this one, so I can't compare, but this was a nice and sweet watermelon.
Candles from the Keeping Room's Candy Corn Brickle
Cold Rating: 6/10
Lit Rating: 6.5/10
Throw Rating: 8/10
Overall Rating: 7/10; I wasn't convinced on cold sniff, but the throw on this scent was insane. This is such a buttery, sweet candy scent that almost comes off as frosting-y. Not a repurchase, but it was excellent.
Long Cane Primitives Pink Vanilla Bean Noel
Cold Rating: 5.5/10
Lit Rating: 5.5/10
Throw Rating: 4.5/10
Overall Rating: 5.5/10; another scent with a small throw. This smelled great when I took it out of a round robin box, but didn't smell super good when warming. Something was off about it, there was hardly any pink, and it had picked up a weird smell in the box, I think. Oh well, I won't be basing my opinion of LCP on this one tart.
Beezy Tarts Cinnamon Glazed Baklava
Cold Rating: 8.5/10
Lit Rating: 8/10
Throw Rating: 8/10
Overall Rating: 8/10; incredible! Not overly bakery, but definitely "flaky" smelling, but not in a pie crust type of way. LOVED this! Great cinnamon scent. So good!! Definite repurchase!
Can-Do-Candles Peppermint Spa
Cold Rating: 5/10
Lit Rating: 2/10
Throw Rating: 2/10
Overall Rating: 2/10; no throw whatsoever. This smelled awesome on cold sniff, but there was no throw. Two small wisps, ugh. I loved this scent, but if you get nothing...oh well. Not a repurchase unless it was stronger.
Rosegirls Cranberry Pear Torte
Cold Rating: 7/10
Lit Rating: 7/10
Throw Rating: 8/10
Overall Rating: 7/10; surprised by this one! Almost no torte smell, but the cranberry and pear are excellent together. For some reason, cranberry can come off as Christmas tree-ish, piney. I got this quite a bit while melting this. Might repurchase.
Haley's Heavenly Scents Chubba Dubba
Cold Rating: 7/10
Lit Rating: 3/10
Throw Rating: 4/10
Overall Rating: 4/10; saddened by this one. On cold, it smells incredible, like a fruity candied drink or something, without the fizziness. Warmed, barely any throw, just little fruity hints here and there. Sad. Not a repurchase, probably.
Scarlet Raine's Iced Cinnamon Rolls
Cold Rating: 5/10
Lit Rating: 4/10
Throw Rating: 4/10
Overall Rating: 4/10; this is the type of cinnamon I do not care for, it's overly sweet and not pleasing to my nose. This wasn't that great, just a basic cinnamon scent with icing and generic bakery. I can't say I am impressed by this company yet. Not a repurchase.
Scandalicious Candle Melts Easter Bunny Burps
Cold Rating: 5/10
Lit Rating: 3/10
Throw Rating: 3/10
Overall Rating: 3/10; this smells okay on cold sniff, but while warming, it wasn't strong at all. This was just one tiny butterfly tart, but I got almost no throw from it.
Beezy Tarts Mint Lavender
Cold Rating: 6.5/10
Lit Rating: 5/10
Throw Rating: 4/10
Overall Rating: 5/10; smells really great on cold, but again, a lighter throw makes this suffer. Sad because it would have rivaled lavender peppermint from RG had it performed. Not a repurchase, and very atypical of Beezy.
Beauxsavonsfrais Sweet Lolli
Cold Rating: 5/10
Lit Rating: 5/10
Throw Rating: 5/10
Overall Rating: 5/10; your basic candied sweet tart/smarties candy scent. Nothing fancy, nothing to write home about, not even that strong. Ehh. Not a repurchase.
Can Do Candles Honey Pear Cider
Cold Rating: 7/10
Lit Rating: 8/10
Throw Rating: 7/10
Overall Rating: 7/10; if I'm not mistaken, this is a Scentsy scent. I really loved Can Do's version, it packed a punch, smelled fantastic, like sweet honey mixed with cider spiced. LOVED it, definite repurchase and one to look out for from other vendors!!
Rosegirls Americana Smoothie
Cold Rating: 6/10
Lit Rating: 7/10
Throw Rating: 6/10
Overall Rating: 6/10; strawberry, monster cookie, and marshmallow, if I'm not mistaken. This is by far the best of the Americana blends, but not my favorite scent, still. It's good, but I'll take regular ol' monster cookie fluff puffs any day. Possible repurch.
Rosegirls Pink and Blue Swizzle Sticks
Cold Rating: 6/10
Lit Rating: 6/10
Throw Rating: 6..5/10
Overall Rating: 7/10; this was just a teeny tiny chunk, but it packed a bigger punch that I anticipated. I like pink and blue sugars mixed, and Rosegirls' blue sugar isn't overly cologney. Liked this, may repurchase.
Rosegirls Strawberry Gumballs
Cold Rating: 6/10
Lit Rating: 4.5/10
Throw Rating: 5/10
Overall Rating: 5/10; I usually love Rosegirls strawberry scents, but this one was weird, and it's because of the gumball. I don't like gum scents, I'm finding, so this was a miss for me. It was a sample, but I wouldn't purchase this.
Can Do Candles Pink Coconut
Cold Rating: 5/10
Lit Rating: 6/10
Throw Rating: 6/10
Overall Rating: 6/10; a decent pink coconut scent, though this is a more buttery coconut that I like. The pink was just there slightly, it was pretty much a buttered coconut scent. Not a repurchase, but not bad.
Hope you're having an excellent weekend, friends! Will have more melts soon!

Overall Rating: 4/10; saddened by this one. On cold, it smells incredible, like a fruity candied drink or something, without the fizziness. Warmed, barely any throw, just little fruity hints here and there. Sad. Not a repurchase, probably.
Cold Rating: 5/10

Throw Rating: 4/10
Overall Rating: 4/10; this is the type of cinnamon I do not care for, it's overly sweet and not pleasing to my nose. This wasn't that great, just a basic cinnamon scent with icing and generic bakery. I can't say I am impressed by this company yet. Not a repurchase.
Cold Rating: 5/10
Lit Rating: 3/10
Throw Rating: 3/10
Overall Rating: 3/10; this smells okay on cold sniff, but while warming, it wasn't strong at all. This was just one tiny butterfly tart, but I got almost no throw from it.
Cold Rating: 6.5/10
Lit Rating: 5/10
Throw Rating: 4/10
Overall Rating: 5/10; smells really great on cold, but again, a lighter throw makes this suffer. Sad because it would have rivaled lavender peppermint from RG had it performed. Not a repurchase, and very atypical of Beezy.

Overall Rating: 5/10; your basic candied sweet tart/smarties candy scent. Nothing fancy, nothing to write home about, not even that strong. Ehh. Not a repurchase.
Cold Rating: 7/10
Lit Rating: 8/10
Throw Rating: 7/10
Overall Rating: 7/10; if I'm not mistaken, this is a Scentsy scent. I really loved Can Do's version, it packed a punch, smelled fantastic, like sweet honey mixed with cider spiced. LOVED it, definite repurchase and one to look out for from other vendors!!

Overall Rating: 6/10; strawberry, monster cookie, and marshmallow, if I'm not mistaken. This is by far the best of the Americana blends, but not my favorite scent, still. It's good, but I'll take regular ol' monster cookie fluff puffs any day. Possible repurch.
Cold Rating: 6/10
Lit Rating: 6/10
Throw Rating: 6..5/10
Overall Rating: 7/10; this was just a teeny tiny chunk, but it packed a bigger punch that I anticipated. I like pink and blue sugars mixed, and Rosegirls' blue sugar isn't overly cologney. Liked this, may repurchase.
Cold Rating: 6/10
Lit Rating: 4.5/10
Throw Rating: 5/10
Overall Rating: 5/10; I usually love Rosegirls strawberry scents, but this one was weird, and it's because of the gumball. I don't like gum scents, I'm finding, so this was a miss for me. It was a sample, but I wouldn't purchase this.
Cold Rating: 5/10
Lit Rating: 6/10
Throw Rating: 6/10
Overall Rating: 6/10; a decent pink coconut scent, though this is a more buttery coconut that I like. The pink was just there slightly, it was pretty much a buttered coconut scent. Not a repurchase, but not bad.
Hope you're having an excellent weekend, friends! Will have more melts soon!

Random Picture Post: Non-Waxy Photos From the Last Few Weeks #5!
Random photo post time! :)
I found this photo on the Balboa Park Twitter page and HAD to share it. Look at this gorgeous sky and that rainbow! In case you don't know, Balboa Park is one of the best places in San Diego for photography. There are so many plants, old buildings, trees, amazing scenery all around. Just stunning!
I got this shampoo and conditioner sample from a Sephora order I placed for some nail polish a few weeks back. I used it and wanted to give my feedback. I don't know what or who BB is, but they are rich. Between BB creams and BB shampoos and such, they must have tons of dough. I didn't like this at all. While it did thicken my hair, it made it almost unbearable to work with as far as putting it up in a clip or ponytail. Good to know, I guess. PS: Bumble makes me think of Rudolph, and Rudolph makes me think of Christmas. YUP, YUP, it's almost that time again!!!
We had Chinese food the other day for dinner, and this was Josh's fortune. How sweet, huh?.....
........this was my fortune, LMAO! What kind of fortune is that?!........
........apparently a good one, because Josh came home with these cupcakes, LOL. Insanity! Look at the cool colors! ;)
Don't mind the sheet at the cloth at the top of the bed, ha! Freddo is out of his cone! YAYYYY!!! He was in desperate need of a haircut, but he was soooo freaking glad to be able to get under the bed...
...this is what he looks like now! His fur was so matted from his accident that the groomer had to shave everything off entirely. He looks like a brand new pup! He's been loving the cooler 'do for the end of summer. I just love this picture. :)
During our time without a fridge, we tried Bronx Pizza, a popular New York style pizza join here in SD. I really like thinner crust pizza, and this was no exception. I thought it tasted awesome!
Ok...so once again, a wax related photo on a non-wax photo post. OH WELL YOLO. Josh found these at Target and bought them for me! Fall Hayride is very interesting and complex, while I don't like Pumpkin Spice so much, neither did he. Orchard Apple Cinnamon smells very basic but nice. We shall see how these perform!
I won another giveaway, this one was from Sincerely Kelley XOXO. I have really come to love her blog in the last few months, and I like her YouTube channel as well. She was doing a giveaway for the VS Fresh Sorbets in Frozen Apple * Sparkling Cassis body souffle. This stuff smells INCREDIBLE!!! Along with that, she send 2 Yankee Pure Radiance Candles in the scents cinnamon scone and sugar flower, which both smell amazing. I really enjoy the sweet rose! She also sent a lotion from Bath & Body Works in Mandarin Blossom (which is going to be awesome in the spare bathroom in case people need lotion...another winner in the "smells good" department!) as well as a Black Cherry Merlot foaming hand soap. Not pictures are two Baby Lips chapsticks and a scent shot from CBV in Vanilla Cake Pops. I cannot get over her generosity, it was so sweet of her to offer a giveaway, but then to go above and beyond?! WOW, I was floored. Thanks again to Kelley!!
Nails of the Day: China Glaze's Bottoms Up. I LOVE this color, it's a neon pink, which usually isn't my style, but it's really pretty. Fun for the end of summer!
I will leave you with the weirdest Jeopardy! mash-up in the history of the world. I love Conan.
Have a nice weekend, friends! :)
