PRETTY LITTLE WAX AUGUST SUBSCRIPTION BOX

I do love a good waxy subscription box, so I was super excited when one of my favourite wax vendors announced that they were going to lauch a monthly subscription box!

A Pretty Little Wax monthly waxy delivery? Yes please!

So, before I get into the smelly bit, just let me tell you a little bit about this box of waxy loveliness and how the subscription works…..

Firstly, you need to be a member of the Pretty Little Wax Monthly Box Facebook Group. There you can keep up-to-date on everything to do with the monthly box from scent selections to when your payment is due.

For £16 (including P&P) you receive 5 fabby 4x cavity clamshells weighing a minimum of 40g each. Each month features 5 brand new scents, with some months featuring a theme.

The subscription is pay monthly and completely flexible, so you can cancel whenever you wish or even skip a month if you need to.

For the month of August, Lou actually had 4 different boxes to choose from and the theme was “Blends”

I chose the “Fruit Loops” Blends box and I have to say that they all smelt AMAZING!

Here are the 5 Blends included:

RASPBERRY ZING

“Sweet raspberry, toasted coconut, buttercream frosting and freshly baked cake fused with yummy fruit loops”

This literally smelt good enough to eat!! Raspberry Zing and Fruit Loops are both fabulous stand alone scents, so to blend them together, they are a match made in waxy heaven!!

This is a bakery scent lovers waxy dream! Sweet, sugary, cakey and creamy with a lemony cereal kick! Super duper yummy!

LEMON CREAM

“Lemon meringue pie fused with yummy fruit loops”

This one was all about the lemons! The gorgeous aroma of baked pie, lemon custard and lemon zest blended with the sweet and sugary fruit loops really made for a a delicious and yummy strong lemon bakery scent.

STRAWBS AND LOOPS

“Strawberry Bo Bon with yummy fruit loops”

I could really smell the yummy sweet and sugary Strawberry Bon Bon which was mellowed out beautifully by the Fruit Loop citrus cereal notes.

There was also a fabby greenery fresh type note to it aswel, which actually stopped the scent from being overly sweet.

Another delicious match made in waxy heaven!

BERRY BEAUTIFUL

“Blackberry Jam fused with yummy fruit loops”

This smelt absolutely dee-lish! Think sweet and sticky fruity jam with a swirl of citrus cereal yumminess!

GO BANANA LOOPY

“Sweet sugary banana foams fused with yummy fruit loops”

I would never have thought to have put these two scents together, but omg it smelt gorgeous! When it first started to melt I could really smell the sweet and sugary foam bananas, but once it had fully melted, the citrus cereal notes from the fruit loops really came through.

Fruit Loops is one of my favourite scents, so I was super excited to receive this box, and it really didn’t disappoint. Each of the paired scents blended perfectly.

I used my 25w electric Glade warmer to melt these and each of the scents had a fantastic throw. I was super impressed with them all.

Candle Belle Double Wick Candle Review – Black Cherry Bomb 🍒🍒

Oooo! So Candle Belle have now launched a Candle Subscription for their fabby Twin-Wick and NEW Single-Wick Jar Candles! How fab!

Now as a subscriber to their fabby monthly Mega Melt Subscription Box and having tried a few of their Jar Candles (and being super impressed with them I may add!) I’m super excited for this and the only descision I need to make now is whether to sign up for the single candle or double bundle! Hmmm!

So while I ponder on this, here is a little review of one of their Twin-Wick Jar Candles in Black Cherry Bomb that I shared on my Instagram a while ago (before my blogging days!)

Soooo onto the smelly bit…..

After purchasing some badly behaved candles from a certain big brand a while ago, I’ve since been a bit dubious about buying anymore candles, often prefering to buy wax melts instead. I was so impressed with the Mega Melts Subscription box that I received in March, I decided to take advantage of their 3 candles for £25 offer and Im so glad I did. 

Scent Decsription: A super strong and realistic explosion of luscious black cherries. No question, if you like cherries, you are sure to love this. One of our most popular scents, and not for the faint hearted.

This candle has to be the most well behaved candle Ive burnt in quite sometime! It was an absolute dream! No sooting, no tunneling and a lovely clean burn and fantastic wax pool each time and there was no wax residue left on the sides of the jar either. I was super impressed with this gorgeous smelling candle.

The scent throw was also fabulous, from the first burn to the last. A lovely deep and fruity cherry scent.

Pictured, is the candle through the different stages of the burn – just look at that fabby wax pool and clean burn! 😍

Pretty Little Wax Easter Mystery Box Review

You can find the unboxing of all the melts and scents included in the fabulous Pretty Little Wax Easter box HERE.

This Easter themed mystery box was simply beautiful and was filled with 10 oh-so-pretty Easter themed melts and yummy scents.

Now onto my review of four of the fabby melts included….

Easter Bunny Burps

“This vibrant blend of shimmering garden greens is highlighted with a hint of mint for a fresh sensation. A blend of spring flowers is tucked away among the green tones for added texture, while sandalwood creates glowing warmth for the blend. Hints of musk finish this gorgeous fragrance”

Firstly, how adorable is this melt by the way?!? Chunky and super cute, I almost didn’t want to melt it!

The scent was just beautiful, really fresh and cool with a mixed floral undertone. I could really pick up on the fresh garden greens and a swirl of mintiness. The floral notes really did add beautiful texture to the scent, with the sandalwood throwing a little warmth into the mix. An absolutely perfect Spring scent. The scent throw from half of this melt was just fabulous. I popped this in my warmer in the morning and the scent was still going strong later on that night.

7-Up Pound Cake

“This fragrance is a perfect blend of warm cake, almond, lemon, lime, vanilla and sugar”

Ohmygosh! This smelt absolutely divine! A piece of bakery scented heaven all wrapped up in Easter Bunny wax shaped cuteness!

There was a yummy medley of smells going on with this scent. I could really pick up on the warm sponge cake element with the almond, lemon and vanilla. The lime was a subtle undertone and the scent was finished off with a generous sprinkling of sugary sweetness. Deee-lisshh!!!

Again, half of one melt (sorry little wax Bunny for chopping you in half!!) filled the room with its scent fabulously.

Spring Happy

“This fragrance is a classic fougère for men, with bergamot, geranium, lavender, cedarwood and oak”

This scent had fabulous spicy-floral notes. I could really pick up on the greenery of the Geranium and the tang of citrus spice from the bergamot. There was a softness to the scent aswel and a refreshing masculine undertone. Another absolutely perfect scent for Spring. It was gorgeously strong and long lasting too.

Easter Orange Chiffon

“A decadent blend of warm, buttery vanilla pound cake topped with creamy, sweet orange meringue sprinkled with orange zest and toasted hazelnut”

This smelt absolutely delicious – a mouthwatering zesty orange bakery type scent.

I could really pick up on the warm and buttery vanilla pound cake with an orange citrus kick. It was sugary sweet, zesty and creamy with a yummy nutty undertone. Half of this cute egg shaped melt was enough to fill the room with its scent just perfectly. It was fabulously strong!!

I was super impressed with this box of waxy loveliness, from the super cute packaging to the generously sized Easter inspired melts. It was just perfect!

Pumpkin Apple Butter

“This fragrance will put you in the mood for the holidays, with top notes of orange, apple, pear, pineapple and cherries. Middle notes of pumpkin, cinnamon, nutmeg and clove, with base notes of warm vanilla”

This fella was cute, huge and chunky…I only needed to pop a quarter in my warmer. I could really pick up on the fruity tones, especially the apple and pear. The Pumpkin and vanilla gave the scent a creaminess, whilst the cinnamon and nutmeg added a beautifully warming spiciness to the mix. A truly delicious and warming scent.

Candy Corn

“Warm vanilla candy with top notes of butter with a slight almond down”

Ok, this melt was just absolutely adorable! I loved the Halloween inspired colours and I especially loved the cute little haunted house “topper”

It smelt yummy too! I could really pick up on the vanilla candy tone and the butter and it really reminded me of the smell of freshly made, warm butter popcorn! Dee-lish!

Trick or Treat

“Begins with top notes of pumpkin, persimmon and apple. Middle notes of blueberries, elderberries, currants, orange and cinnamon with well rounded notes of sugar cane and vanilla”

This coffin shaped melt was simply HUGE and really was a “Treat” for the nose!! It smelt fabulously fruity and sweet with a warming spicy cinnamon undertone. A beautiful and cosy Autumnal and Winter scent that was almost bakery-like!

Cool Slime

“A clean, fresh and super strong lime fragrance”

This cute little skull shaped melt smelt EXACTLY as described; a beautifully strong, clean and fresh citrus Lime scent. Don’t be fooled by the size of this little fella, he really packed a punch! The scent throw was just fabulous and filled the Kitchen with absolute ease!

I was super impressed with this Halloween inspired mystery wax box from the adorable and beautifully made Halloween shaped melts to the delicious and warming scents, that smelt absolutely gorgeous and are just perfect for Autumn and Winter melting.

This smelt absolutely dee-lish!! Contrary to its name there was nothing sinister about this scent and it really was an explosion of yummy fruity and sugary sweetness. A beautiful juicy mixed berry scent with a twist of cool peppermint and sugary candy. The brittle looked gorgeous too and the colours candy-like.

Berry Bewitching

“This fragrance is a spooky, bubbly halloween treat. Berry Bewitching begins with top notes of peach, apricot and blackberries; middle notes of mandarin, cinnamon and rose and balanced with just a hint of woodsy musk”

This was a fabulously fruity mixed berry scent with a woodsy and musky undertone. The cinnamon was really subtle, put added a little belly warming spice to the scent and it just reminded me of a yummy fruity punch drink….the kind you would get at Halloween party, complete with plastic floating eyeballs and severed fingers!! 😉

Coffin Candy

“A fabulous aroma of freshly spun cotton candy blended with fresh strawberry and French vanilla”

Light, fluffy and sugary sweet with a juicy strawberry and vanilla undertone. The vanilla mellowed out the sugary sweetness and stopped the scent from being overly sweet and added a delicious creaminess to the mix. I loved the colour of the melt too, which suited this yummy scent perfectly.

Goblin Ate A Grape

“Go gaga for the goblin who ate a grape! This fragrance is a ripe juicy grape candy. Top notes of juicy grape and sweet strawberry. Middle notes of peach, raspberry and pineapple and finished off with base notes of violet candy, orange flower and grape jam”

A beautifully rich and deep scent, with lots of fruity notes and a yummy sugary candy sweet undertone. I could really pick up on the grape and strawberry, and even the peach and raspberry. The pineapple added a subtle citrusy note to the scent, whilst the violet candy and grape jam gave the scent a sugary sweet and almost syrupy tone. Dee-lish!!
