Subscription boxes can be so much fun. They are a great way to get a collection of various products posted to you each month normally themed and priced affordably. UK wax vendor Glow’s subscription boxes definitely do this. I’ve bought (and been given) a few of these boxes over the last couple of years. The recent one (which I won) was April’s and it was waxed based and called Crime Scene Investigators.
What was the theme?
This subscription box is crime themed and interactive. Within the subscription box is the ‘case file’ which you use to help solve the murder of a man called Andrew Bailey. Each piece of wax and the added extras in the subscription box are related to the case.
What was included?
5 pieces of wax.
A clay mask.
A small magnifying glass.
A small notebook.
A pen.
Case notes related to the crime.
What do the wax pieces look like & what are their fragrances?
A spanner-roughly 14cm long spanner shaped wax melt. Blue in colour with a dusting of silver pigment. Chunky, sizeable and looks easy to break up to use. Fragranced in Sun kissed Raisins & Autumn Leaves.
A shoe-shaped like the side of a shoe, this wax melt is brown in colour and is covered in a copper coloured pigment/mica. About 9cms in length and 3 cm wide. Fragranced in Blood Orange & Oakwood.
A packet of cigarettes-this wax melt is shaped like a box of cigarettes. White in colour with a copper and white coloured shimmer to it. Just over 8cm in length and 5cm across. Fragranced in Musk til Dawn.
Mobile phone-a basic mobile phone shape lilac in colour with a silver pigment on the ‘screen’. 5cm across and 10cm in length. Fragranced in Gun Powder Tea & Minerals.
Petrol can-green in colour with gold pigment on the front and fragranced in In The Shadows.
Fragrances
These are not my usual wax melt fragrance choices. I would never choose these in a million years and this is why I’m glad I’m getting the chance to experience them. Each wax is quite masculine in scent, aromatic but not overwhelming. Each one smells different from each other and are very distinctive. These are beautifully scented and I can’t wait to get them melting!
First impressions?
This is an incredibly imaginative themed box. From the theme in general to how the wax pieces look. The added extras e.g the magnifying glass are a great touch. And the crime file and interactive element absolutely genius! The time, energy and care put into Crime Scene Investigators April Wax Subscription Box was impressive and the usual high standard I’m now used to with Glow. Every time I think their boxes can’t be beaten they release another one which is even better!
If you haven’t tried any of their wax products (wax melts and candles), you really should visit their website here. Their quality is amazing!
