Sniff My Tarts - Toasted Marshmallow/Jelly Doughnuts/Glazed Doughnuts

Scent Description: Marshmallows toasted over a campfire/Sweet, fried dough glazed with a generous amount of vanilla sugar filled with sweet and yummy, delicious strawberry jam; tiny puffs of powdered sugar/Fresh, warm donuts with lots of gooey glaze.

Date Received: 12-17-15

Weight Melted: 1.0 oz

Location of Warmer: Living Room

Cold Sniff: 4/5 I smelled sweet, very slightly bready strawberry jelly drizzled in melted marshmallows.

Warm Sniff: 4/5 No change.

Scent Strength: 1.5/3

Scent Throw: This filled most of the living room.

Melting Power: 4/5 I got about 6.5 hours of scent before the scent died off.

Repurchase: No. I would probably pick up another blend with just toasted marshmallows and jelly doughnuts, but I don't think glazed donuts played a significant part of this blend and I don't like my bakery scents to be too bready. Too much bread and there's a weird salty note that I can't wrap my nose around.

Sniff My Tarts - Sweet Lavender Marshmallow Cake

Scent Description: "SMT Blend." Searching each individual component brings up either SMT blend or "Must try this!"

Weight Melted: 1.5 oz

Location of Warmer: Living Room

Cold Sniff: 5/5 Love love love love! I'm a big lavender fan, and a big sweets and bakery fan, and this was a combination of all of that together! I thought of sweet cookie dough sitting next to a vase of sweet lavender flowers.

Warm Sniff: 5/5 No changes when melted. Each note of this blend was definitely there and I feel like each scent played an equal roll in the final product.

Scent Strength: 2/3

Scent Throw: 3/3 This filled the entire living room.

Melting Power: 5/5 I got 20 hours of scent from this half heart before the scent receded to the area immediately surrounding the warmer. Uh, yes please!

Purchase: Yes! This was gift<3, and I'm so happy to have tried it! I made a few blends in my recent SMT order that include this blend and I'm so happy to know that this is such an amazing scent. My blends will be all the better with this. Next time, though, I hope to be able to pick up a larger amount of just this.

Jaimie Lauren Cupcakery and Confections in Wax - Cotton Candy/Grape/Pink Serendipity

Scent Description: None available, but I think the blend is rather self explanatory.

Date Received: Some time in June of 2013.

Weight Melted: .14 oz.

Location of Warmer: Living Room

Cold Sniff: 2.5/5 I could only pick up on Serendipity on cold sniff. I don't particularly care for serendipity on its own, as I'm sure you're aware by now. I love it in blends, though! This just didn't smell like a blend.

Warm Sniff: 2.5/5 Unfortunately, no change. Serendipity was all that this tart turned out to be. If  the other scents had made an appearance here I feel like this could have been an amazing blend! Alas, it was not meant to be.

Scent Strength: 2/3

Scent Throw: 3/3 This filled the entire living room.

Melting Power: 3/5 I let this go for about four hours before I went ahead and turned off the warmer. 

Repurchase: No. If I ever find a serendipity blend that isn't all serendipity I would probably fall head over heels, but the scent by itself is not something I'm a fan of. It's that cherry note! It's fine in a blend, but by itself I feel like it's too suffocating.

Haul: Lush Korea February 2016

Heeeey. Remember in my last haul how I said I was good on Lush for a while. Oops. LOL

I actually knew that this purchase was coming up the next time we went to Itaewon. My shampoo and conditioner has been getting low and I've wanted to switch to something less chemical-ey as my scalp as been giving me issues. I figured why not try Lush?

Stop & Chat: February 16

I woke up at 7:30 while M was getting ready for work. I successfully went to bed early last night (around 1AM, which is about 3 hours earlier than I've been getting to bed). I was so happy when I woke up and didn't feel like sack of potatoes when waking up. How does a sack of potatoes feel? I don't know. I imagine not good enough to get out of bed, though. LOL

Stop & Chat: February 14 & 15

Their faces made me so happy! >w< !!!

Valentine's day was pretty relaxed for me. M had a 24 hour shift so I spent a good chunk of the day watching movies, playing video games, and basically ignoring any responsible tasks I told myself I would accomplish.

Olde Primitive Treasures - "Queen" of Misrule

Scent Description: Lush dupe. Patchouli, sandalwood blend with hints of citrus and vetiver.
I can't comment on how accurate a dupe this is, but I'm a big fan of this scent. I see why Julie is such a fan of Lush's other products in this scent!!

Weight Melted: 0.9 oz

Location of Warmer: Living Room

Cold Sniff: 5/5 There's something so musky, so homey, so fantastic about this scent! Let's just accept the fact that I cannot do scent descriptions. How do you describe patchouli? I don't know, but I can tell you what's in this blend and it... uh, blends together nicely. :)

Warm Sniff: 5/5 No surprises when melted.

Scent Strength: 2/3

Scent Throw: 3/3 This filled the entire living room.

Melting Power: 5/5 Sixteen hours from one of these adorable pumpkin heads. The scent even lingered into the next couple of tarts I melted. Maybe I should do a better job of clean up next time. Oops.

Purchase: I already did! This was a gift, but was so impressed with the performance I went ahead and put in an order to OPT. I got a set of mini wax pies in this scent.

Jaimie Lauren Cupcakery and Confections in Wax - Legally Blonde

Scent Description: Iced champagne mixed with sweet raspberry and cranberry.
I don't get anything very fizzy here, but everything else from a typical Blond Moment blend is there.

Date Received: Some time June 2013. What? No, I don't hoard my stash.

Weight Melted: 1.7 oz

Location of Warmer: Living Room

Cold Sniff: 4/5 I quite enjoy blond moment blends without their fizzy component. How convenient that this tart lacks that fizz!

Warm Sniff: 4/5 No surprises once melted.

Scent Strength: 1.5/3

Scent Throw: 2/3 Filled most of the living room.

Melting Power: 5/5 I got about 10 hours of scent from this tart before the scent died off.

Repurchase: Yes! If Jen's blend this time around is the same blond moment sans fizzy notes, I will definitely want some more! It's so nice to finally say I can reorder from JLCCW if I want to. 

Stop & Chat: February 12 & 13

When I mentioned that I wanted to work on one room a day, I forgot that M got these past two days off. We've not really spent any one on one time together, so this weekend was (for the most part) just 'us' time.

Sniff My Tarts - Orange Clove/Bayberry/Dried Apple Wreath

Scent Description: Fresh oranges, warm clove bud, cinnamon and nutmeg/fir and balsam, spicy undertones of nutmeg and ginger/crisp apples, cinnamon, walnuts, and maple.

Weight Melted: 1.2 oz

Location of Warmer: Living Room

Cold Sniff: 4/5 I definitely picked up on the fir and balsam on cold sniff. In the background was a sweet concoction of apples and oranges drizzled in sweet cinnamon and maple. A truly delicious scent.

Warm Sniff: 4/5 When melted, this turned into a scent that my notes describe as "sweet, almost spicy fruit & berry medley with a backdrop of winter forests." Delicious! As this melted on, the scent tapered off into a pleasant spiced apple scent.

Scent Strength: 2/3

Scent Throw: 3/3 This filled the entire living room

Melting Power: 5/5 This had about 12 hours of scent before I turned off the warmer.

Purchase: See what I did there? Technically I never purchased this, because I got it as a gift from one of my lovely waxy friends. You know who you are. Thank you!! In any case, I will definitely pick up some of this blend in the next SMT opening I partake in. My next list is growing... again. I'm so excited!!
