  • Glow’s Christmas 2023 Advent Calendar Day 15 to 21

    While my children get stuck in daily with their chocolate advent calendar, I’ve been enjoying the various products that have been included in my Christmas 2023 Advent Calendar from Glow. So far I’ve enjoyed wax melts and bath products from Day’s 1 to 7 and Day’s 8 to 14, but what did I find ‘behind’ Day’s 15 to 22?

    Glow’s Christmas 2023 Advent Calendar
    Day 15 Keys To The Kingdom Wax Melt

    Think of bubble gum, cotton candy, those types of fragrances and this is what Keys To The Kingdom smells like. Sweet, sugary, fruity, gorgeous!

    Day 16 Positivity Wax Melt

    A slighter cool, minty fragrance with strawberries mixed in. This reminds me of how candy canes smell like but even better. Great fragrance to melt over Christmas.

    Day 16 Positivity Wax Melt
    Day 17 Bah Hum Bug Bubble Bath

    The packaging of Bah Hum Bug Bubble Bath is just adorable! It’s housed in a small plastic bottle shaped like a bauble/Christmas light. This has an almost herbal, medicinal mint smell to it which is fresh and very different to any of the other minty scented products in this advent.

    Day 18 Oat, Milk & Honey Bath Soak

    A very relaxing and soothing bath soak which was the perfect way to end a stressful and busy day when I used this. Not an ordinary bath soak, but one filled with magnesium and dried flowers giving it a holistic and botanical feel.

    Day 18 Oat, Milk & Honey Bath Soak
    Day 19 A Trick Amongst The Treats Wax Melt

    A brilliant and unusual citrus based wax melt. A Trick Amongst The Treats has a more lemongrass smell to it rather than lemon itself because it’s not particularly zesty. There’s definitely a hint of mint in this and overall a great fragrance with a herbal scent to it.

    Day 20 The Perfect Christmas Room Spray

    A fruity, berry based home fragrance product, possible cranberries or cherries, with a frosted wintery scent to it rather than sugary and obviously fruit based, if that makes sense?

    Day 20 The Perfect Christmas Room Spray
    Day 21 Mai Tai Hand Cream

    Mai Tai Hand Cream is a rich, but not thick hand cream. Very nourishing on the hands and the scent is to die for! Zesty, citrus, lemon and very invigorating. Love this and love how it smells and moisturises my hands.

    Day 21 Mai Tai Hand Cream

    Although I’ve enjoyed every day of this advent calendar, Day’s 15 to 21 possibly more so. The different types of products for each day have been so varied from home fragrance, bath products and body products. All top quality.

  • Glow’s Christmas 2023 Advent Calendar Day 8 to 14

    When it comes to my Christmas 2023 Advent Calendar from Glow, I’ve enjoyed 7 days of beautifully scented and seasonally smelling wax melts. But from Day 8 it gets much more interesting because it’s not just wax melts in this advent calendar, but other goodies too. So what did I find behind Day’s 8 to 14?

    Glow’s Christmas 2023 Advent Calendar
    Day 8- Tropical Wax Melt

    Tropical Wax Melt makes me think of oranges with cloves poked in them because this is a mix of spices and oranges. It has an almost bakery smell to it and is definitely a winter inspired fragrance.

    Day 9-Peach Sparkles Foaming Bath Salts

    An almost sweetie smelling peach fragranced bath product, and such a generous amount too! I’ve not had chance to use this as December has been very busy so far, but once I have my few days off for Christmas, I’m getting in the bath with this!

    Day 9 Peach Sparkles Foaming Bath Salts
    Day 10-The Essentials Box Wax Melt

    Fizzy, clean and fresh citrus with vanilla giving it that added sweet and comforting feel that only vanilla can give. Essentials Box Wax Melt is stunning!

    Day 11-Twisted Tinsel Foaming Hand Wash

    Another body product which was a delight to see, especially with it being full sized. This hand care product smells just like strawberry Chewits sweets, which means I can’t put this out yet as it would last 2 seconds! Not even a standard hand wash but a FOAMING one! Impressive!

    Day 12-Family Love Wax Melt

    Family Love Wax Melt is that mouth watering mix of lots and lots of berries! Fruity, fragrant yet somehow still has quite a winter feel to it.

    Day 13- Family Love/Love Family Wax Melt

    This is a sugary, sweet, vanilla fragranced piece of wax. It’s very rich and has a slight chocolate smell to it which would make any bakery scent lover happy.

    Day 13 Family Love Wax Melt
    Day 14-Cosy Nights In Wax Melt

    Cosy Nights In has a minty, cooling, peppermint smell to it mixed in with strawberry. Perfect balance of sweetness, mint and fruit so not sickly, cold or heady.

    Day 14 Cosy Nights In Wax Melt

    So that’s Day 8 to 14 done and dusted. How exciting is it to see some bath and body products in this advent? Although the two mentioned I haven’t used yet I don’t want to rush using them, I want to take some time out to enjoy them. But they both smell amazing. All the wax, yet again, have smelt incredible and there hasn’t been one I haven’t enjoyed.

    Well done Glow!

  • Glow’s Christmas 2023 Advent Calendar Day 1 to 7

    I have one advent calendar for this year, and that has been from small business Glow. No chocolate filled cardboard box, no gin contained hamper, just Glow’s. And I’m not sorry about that because I know I’m in for a treat! This advent calendar so far has included wax melts, but I know bath, body and other fragrance goodies are included in later days. So what has been behind the doors from Day 1 to 7?

    Glow’s Christmas 2023 Advent Calendar
    Day 1-Beside The Sea Wax Melt

    Beside The Sea is a gorgeous blend of coffee, toasted marshmallow and toffee. I got the coffee straight away scent wise, but I originally thought this was mixed with warmed through sugar or possibly caramel. Similar notes and just as mouth watering. Stunning blend, very comforting and perfect for this time of year.

    Day 2-Preloved Wax Melt

    This was an earthy/plant like scent but with a slightly fruity and sweet undertone to it. Preloved definitely gives you that feel of going for a walk in a park with frost on the plants and grass while the sun beats down taking the edge off the chill in the air.

    Day 2 Preloved Wax Melt
    Day 3-Cocktails Wax Melt

    A fizzy ‘cocktail’ of fruit, vanilla and sugar is how I would describe Day’s 3 wax. There’s a hint of spice in this and this smells good enough to eat! Very energising and one that fruit fragrance lovers will adore.

    Day 4-Break A Leg Wax Melt

    Break A Leg has a fruity base to it but mixed in with woody notes and herbs. This does have a masculine feel to it but it really is different and stunning in scent. Quite clean in smell but full of depth.

    Day 4 Break A Leg Wax Melt
    Day 5-Glowsters

    Another yummy fragrance, Glowsters is fruit based but with a hint of tropical (pear, coconut, peach and pineapple), florals and musk. Almost perfume like as I could imagine this being a body fragrance of some sort and very pretty. LOVE!

    Day 6-Happy Birster Box

    Happy Birster Box is a bakery fragrance but with a winter twist. The bakery bit comprises of caramel, almost burnt sugar like scent and marshmallows. The winter bit is the woody notes thrown in of cedar. Very unusual and well rounded.

    Day 7-Surprise

    Another wax from the bakery family but a little more traditional than the previous ones. Surprise is comforting, sugary but not sickly, and includes vanilla and caramel. Dribble worthy!

    Day 7 Surprise Wax Melt
    How is this advent going so far?

    I can honestly say that every single wax I’ve melted so far has been amazing. Each one totally different to the other, great strength and just as good longevity wise. So far I’m getting quite sad I’m changing the wax in my wax warmers so regularly as I’m enjoying the previous one’s way too much! Love this advent and can’t wait to experience the rest over the next days.
