Weekly Empties

Hi !

I decided to do ''empties'' posts as opposed to ''melted'' because this post would be 3 meters long !

I'm officially on a wax ban, I started on April 1st and everything is going well so far ! I still have 5 orders and a Round Robin coming in so if you see hauls, it doesn't mean I have failed lol :) 

Onto what I melted this week !

Melted in a 24w hot plate warmer unless otherwise stated.

Lasting Scent Candles - Chocolate Chip Cookies

Lasting Scent Candles is a company I can't order from Canada, actually I could but she only ships Priority Mail,which means 53$+ for 25-50 tarts.It's just not worth it.The only LSC I had the chance to try was from swaps..and I'm pretty sure they weren't the best ones lol.

This one is simply horrible,it literally smells like chocolate Playdoh,ugh. It was very strong too but I couldn't stand it so I poured it out after 20 minutes. I have some other Chocolate scents in my stash I haven't tried yet, I'm hoping they don't all smell like this one.

Streetman Candle Company - Think Pink,Sugar

This is just Pink Sugar but I love that scent whether it's blended or not ! Not too much to say about it, it was pretty strong as are all Streetman tarts and lasted about 6 hours.

Front Porch - Strawberry Marshmallow Bread

People are raving about this scent on the group page,this is one of their best-sellers and it was pretty hard to get it because everytime it's added to the site its gone within minutes! I ordered a sampler and this was part of it, so I was pretty excited. It's definitely  not what I expected, the strawberry scent is barely there and it's not a good one.The mix with Zucchini Bread is really weird too.Throw was only medium and it lasted about 3 hours.

Country Home Scent - Pennies From Heaven

Spa like scent, I love those. I can't really pick out any notes but this was very relaxing and soothing. Medium throw and lasted about 4 hours.

Country Home Scent - Pumpkin Crunch Cake 

I still have 4 of these left and I don't want them to loose their scent so I went ahead and melted one even though it doesn't suit the weather at all !! At least it's not a spicy pumpkin,I can smell caramel and some cake notes in it. Light-medium throw and lasted 4 hours.

Country Home Scent - Snuggle Baby 

I can't remember what was in this one. I'm thinking Pink Sugar and Baby Powder..but it doesn't smell like Baby Powder so I have no idea lol ! Anyways, this was very good, another relaxing scent. Medium throw and lasted 6 hours.

Country Home Scent - Purple Passion

Such a great scent ,very summery ! I could smell strawberries and mango mixed with something else. Medium throw and lasted about 3 hours

RoseGirls - Cranberry Marmalade Mallow

Oooh this was so so good ! I've had this for a while but never felt like melting it because Cranberry to me is more of a holiday scent. But this one  I would melt year around ! A sweet cranberry mixed with awesome marshmallow. Strong throw and lasted over 6 hours

Granny's Kountry Candles - Cowgirl Up!

For some reason I got a powdery note from this even though it's only supposed to have berries in it. I melted it in a tealight warmer and scent throw was medium and lasted 4 hours.

Closet Full of Wax - Lavender Serendipity 

Ugh, I should've saved this for someone who would've enjoyed it ! I just can't stand Serendipity AT ALL. It makes me sick... I could barely smell any Lavender in this. Melted it in a tealight warmer and throw was crazy strong..but I poured it out after 30 minutes.

Ten Digits Creations -  Forbidden Elixir 

Very very earthy scent. I did not enjoy this at all, all I can smell is patchouli mixed with some flowers. Melted in a tealight warmer, light scent throw and lasted about 4 hours.

What's your favorite scent from my empties ?

Weekly Melts

Hi there !

I hope you're all having a wonderful week, I've been quite sick because of the cold weather here so I've spent a lot of time in bed . Anyways onto what I melted this week, sorry if some of them are not pictured, I tend to forget I'm doing this blog thing hehe :)

Front Porch 

• Lemon Marshmallow 1 grubby tart/hot plate warmer/bedroom- This is so so so good,you get that tart lemon mixed with some gooey marshmallow. It's crazy strong and lasted for a day with the warmer always on.
• Mulberry Marshmallow 1 grubby tart/hot plate warmer/bedroom- I love this ! I don't know what mulberry is supposed to smell like but I get a berry scent, just not the usual berries we're used to.The marshmallow makes it creamier. Medium-strong scent throw and lasted for over 12 hours
• Cake Shoppe Half a grubby tart/hot plate warmer/bedroom- This is way too strong and sweet ! I had to turn off the warmer after 1 hour because it was so overpowering. Smells like a cake batter
• Cranberries Sprinkled With Sugar 1 grubby tart/hot plate warmer/bedroom - A great spicy cranberries sweetened with sugar,exactly like the name ! Medium-strong scent throw and lasted over 8 hours
• Lavender Sugar Cookie Dough Bread 1 grubby tart/hot plate warmer/bedroom - Awesome, it's one of my favorite scent for sure.It's strong but not overpowering.It's a perfect mix of sweet lavender and sugar cookie. Lasted about 12 hours 
• Vanilla Confusion 1 grubby tart/18w warmer/living room - A really sweet vanilla, my mom loved it. Medium scent throw and lasted about 12 hours

Granny's Kountry Candles

• Sweet Pea - 1/4 of a tart/tealight warmer/bathroom - When I ordered this I was of course expecting a dupe of Bath&Body Works because I love this scent. Well it's not even close ! I don't know if it's supposed to be different but if it is, the name is very misleading. This just smells like flowers with powdery notes, very disappointing. Medium scent throw, lasted 5 hours
• Best Friends - 1 tart/hot plate warmer/bedroom - I just love this scent ! A mix of strawberry,vanilla and other unidentified berries I think haha. I first got this scent from Country Home Scents, it was named ''Butterfly Kisses'', it's just so invigorating. GKC version is not as strong though, I would say light-medium scent throw. Lasted 6 hours

Country Home Scents

• Pink Christmas - 1 tart/tealight warmer/bedroom - I'm not a fan of pine scents at all so I've been putting off on burning this one. Surprisingly it's not that bad ! Mixed with pink sugar the pine is definitely mellowed out. Medium scent throw and I got tired of the scent after 1 tealight so I switched it out but it was still going strong ! 
• Country Christmas - 1 tart/tealight warmer/bedroom - I smelled mainly cinnamon but it had a touch of fruitiness underlying. Not very festive in my opinion. Medium scent throw, lasted 6 hours

Ten Digits Creations

• Pink Grapefruit - 1 tart/hot plate warmer/bedroom - An authentic grapefruit scent ! Even though I like fruity scents, this was a bit too plain for me. I added Front Porch Yummy Cake Batter and it was awesome !Light-medium scent throw, lasted 5 hours

Nene's Kitchen Melts 

• Pink Pomegranate - 1 tart/hot plate warmer/bedroom - I'm so sad Nene's doesn't offer this scent in another form than the small cups because I would buy bags of this ! This is fresh and juicy, the pink sugar complements perfectly the pomegranate. Medium scent throw and lasted 5 hours

What scents would you like to try from what I've melted this week ?

Country Home Scents Last Haul

Hi !

So as most of you probably know, Country Home Scent are closed. I was lucky to be one of the first to see the post on their page, so when I went on the website, almost all the scents were still available.
 They had sampler packs on sale and I chose the 25 tarts for $20, I think it was called the Stock-Up Sampler. I got mostly scents I hadn't tried because it was my last chance to try them lol ! I still have a lot left from previous orders so I have most of their scents in my possession,yay ! 

Since the store is now closed, the scent descriptions are no where to be found. I started to do cold scent descriptions but then realized it was pretty useless because you can't order anymore

Here's what I got :

• Snuggle Baby
• Wildberry Vanilla Cream
• Cherries & Chestnuts
• Gingerbread Brulé
• Bear Claws Pasteries
• Country Home
• Purple Passion
• Cozy Kitchen
• Pennies From Heaven
• Birthday Cake
• Gingerbread House
• Sweet Tarts
• Frosted Winterberries
• Pink Sugar
• Boysenberries Hotcakes
• Snow Angels
• Hummingbird Happiness
• Warm & Cozy
• Rainy Days
• Pumpkin Crunch Cake x2
• Red Velvet Cake x 4

I'm so sad, I can't believe this is my last haul from my beloved Country Home Scents, how am I gonna live without the cuteness of these little tarts, I mean have you seen them ?! 
And contrarily to other people's experiences, I've never had a problem with the scent throw or the lasting power whatsoever. It's probably because I mostly melt tarts in my bedroom which is quite small.I'm really glad I got the scents I did, there's not one I don't like ! 
My favorite has to be Red Velvet Cake but this is a reorder, it's just awesome. So ya, hopefully one day they'll reopen, until then I think I'm gonna have trouble melting these :( !
