So I ordered the ''U Pick Tart Sampler'' from Crosscreek Country Candles because I really wanted to try this company since shipping to Canada wasn't too expensive but didn't want to place a huge order because you never know if you're gonna like the wax or not ! The sampler was $11 for 10 scalloped tarts, a great way to try out different scents. I ordered on November 30 and got my order today, December 21. The owner,Deana, was really nice when I messaged her about some shipping questions I had.
Here's what I got :
Bunny Patch - Creamy orange pound cake layered with gooey marshmallow
This smells so good ! I've been on an orange kick lately and this one is my favorite so far !
Gummi Bear Peeps - So I couldn't resist not making a peeps blend with the gummi bears ! Sweet and fruity dipped in marshmallow
Oddly enough this smells kinda perfumey to me, like a sweet and fruity perfume. I don't really smell the marshmallow. Strong on cold throw
Frosted Donut - A moist & fluffy doughnut covered with a berry flavor icing
All I smell is mint and berries...there's no bakery note whatsoever, I'm wondering if she maybe sent the wrong one !
Eat your heart out - Big juicy strawberries dipped in creamy marshmallow
Well, we can see a theme here with the marshmallow ! This one is really yummy, you can smell both the strawberry and the marshmallow
Cuppa Chai - This fragrance captures the deliciously smooth blend of spices including cinnamon,clove,nutmeg and hints of ginger along with creamy vanilla with butter and ripe
pumpkin..a unique twist of traditional chai tea !
Chai Latté is my favorite drink ever,I just love the comforting smell and taste so I've been trying to get a tart that would smell like that ! I've tried Ten Digits Creations Chai Tea and didn't like it (I still have 3 tarts left of that scent..), so I was kind of anxious about this one, but it's a lot better than TDC version, it doesn't smell exactly like a chai latte but it's pretty close !
Coconut Milk & Lavender - A beautiful and enticing blend of lavender with silky French Vanilla infused with rich coconut milk and hints of musk
This one smells a lot like Front Porch Lavender Sugar Cookie Dough Bread which I love ! I don't have one to compare (though a 4 pack is on its way!) but I think this one is a little bit less sweet. A very creamy lavender with a strong cold throw
Funnel Fried Twinkies - Anyone care for a deep fried funnel cake battered twinkie on a stick ? This popular carnival treat can now be had anytime you want without all calories
I've never had a fried Twinkies but I'm pretty sure it doesn't smell like that.It smells like a vanilla cake with a touch of caramel but I don't get the ''fried'' note at all
Falling in Love - This fragrance is a blend of sweet vanilla top notes,with a floral heart and a blackberry musk base with a touch of amber
This smells heavenly ! It's a really complex scent,not floral..not fruity..not musky and not foody..It's a little bit of everything !
It's a Noel Holiday - Vanilla Bean Noel spiked with creamy eggnog,inviting cheer to all!
Oh no, not another eggnog scent lol ! The VBN definitely tones down the eggnog,which is good since I discovered I don't really like that scent. You can still smell both scents easily.
Pink Romance - Think pink sugar wrapped up in satin sheets-truly romantic and lovely !
Lovely fragrance, pink sugar with floral and musky notes !
So this is all I got, she didn't include any freebie with my order but my envelope was packed pretty tight so ! My favorites from cold sniff are Falling in Love and Bunny Patch,pretty unique scents. I'm going to let these cure for a while and will review once I melt them :)
Have you tried Crosscreek Country Candles ?
I haven't tried this vendor but have heard some good things! Looking forward to your melt reviews.
ReplyDeleteI'll keep you updated :)
DeleteI haven't tried this vendor either but some of these do sound interesting. That Twinkies one sounds yummy even if it doesn't have the 'fried' note. And some of the others I was like 'Oooh, WANT!' lol
