  • April’s Review Round Up. What Products Did I Use?

    The fact we are in the second week of May is a reminder how fast 2022 is moving forward. Like all previous months, I’ve bought, tried, and sometimes enjoyed various products and shared my opinions about them. So I thought I would group together all the things I used and reviewed in the month of April.

    What Wax Melts Did I Melt This Week with Fragrantasia?

    I enjoyed melting wax melts from Fragrantasia. I’ve always found their wax to smell amazing and be of a high quality. Such a shame that their wax is no longer available as Amy, the lovely lady behind the wax, has said goodbye to the business.

    First Impressions Of My First Ever Scentsy Order

    In all honesty I’ve not had chance to try out the products I purchased from Scentsy. I’ve been too busy to use and review them, but this will be coming up soon! What I liked about this order was how affordable it was, and I managed to get a good mix of wax and body products to give me a good overview of what this brand can offer.

    Aldi’s Lacura Exfoliating Foot Scrub

    Mentioning this product has reminded me I really do need to use this this week! As much as I love how Aldi bring out their own skincare products, I was overjoyed to see them focus on the feet. Their Exfoliating Foot Scrub falls into the practical and not expensive category when it comes to body care products. One that should be on your shopping list if your feet need some love and attention.

    Aldi’s Lacura Moisturising Foot Cream

    A great pairing with the Exfoliating Foot Scrub, Aldi really have brought out a diverse and affordable range of their own branded products in their beauty section. Lacura’s Moisturising Foot Cream, although I wanted more from this, is still a good buy considering the price, size and it containing such a high percentage of Shea butter.

    Q+A’s Grapefruit Cleansing Balm

    If you suffer from dry skin and find your cleansing products are stripping your skin of moisture, a cleansing balm is a must to try! Can they be expensive? Yes. But Q+A’s Grapefruit Cleansing Balm isn’t and is an easy, enjoyable product to use to clean your skin daily.

    Palmer’s Coconut Oil Balm

    Palmer’s Coconut Oil Balm is one product I pretty much use everyday! And do you know what? The pot is still pretty much full despite this. I use this on my lips, feet, elbows, arms, I just love it!

    What Wax Melts Did I Melt This Week From Glow?

    Another week of melting wax melts from one particular vendor. This time my week focused on a vendor called Glow. And yet again I loved being able to melt different scents, all smelling fabulous and creating eye popping beautiful wax pools. Great wax and what a great smelling house I had for 7 days!

    A Week Of Glow Wax Melts

    So another busy month which ranged from using wax melts, skincare and body care. And I enjoyed every single moment of it! Let’s see what’s instore for the month of May!x

  • What Wax Melts Did I Melt This Week with Fragrantasia?

    There is never enough time in the day to get through all of my wax melts. But this week, possibly because of the weather, I’ve really wanted to have a cosy feeling at home. Having rooms in my home fragranced definitely helps adding to that mood. This week (over the last 7 days) I’ve decided to melt from just the one wax vendor, Fragrantasia. So what did I melt?

    Summer Beach Party

    Oh this is a cheeky one! It’s uplifting, it’s fruity and it definitely says Summer to me. I can’t help but think of fruit flavoured chews when sniffing this! This is a lovely scent which will make any fruit lover happy.

    Magnolia & Raspberry Blush

    What on earth is this magical scent? Absolutely stunning! Think of a floral based fragrance which is fresh and feminine, mixed with a soft, delicious berry note to it. This is a pretty scent, an intoxicating scent and is probably in my top 10 of favourite wax melts scents now!

    Magnolia & Raspberry Blush Wax Melt
    Coconut & Coral

    This scent makes me think of laundry inspired fragrances. Laundry scents tend to be quite fresh and clean with powdery notes to it. Coconut & Coral isn’t quite the same but similar. It is beautifully fresh and clean with an almost earthy element to it and not powdery. The coconut isn’t overly sweet but there is a little creaminess to this with a hint of tropical. A great fragrance if you love laundry scents but want something with a little twist to it.

    Coconut & Coral Wax Melt
    Mint Sunburst

    Imagine freshly rubbed mint leaves and mix it with a laundry detergent and this is it! Another clean fragrance, but the mint gives it a coolness which really makes this scent stand out.

    Hot Chocolate

    This smells like hot chocolate! Wasn’t too sure if it would but it does. This has a delicate cocoa scent to it with lashings of creaminess, with a hint of sugar and an almost vanilla edge to it. It’s beautiful! Ideal to melt on evenings when it’s cold, wet and you’re staying inside.

    My Week Melting Fragrantasia in a Nutshell

    I’ve enjoyed melting from this vendor this week. Dedicating these days using their wax makes me appreciate them more. I’ve used Fragrantasia for wax melts for a few years now so I know what I will get performance wise. The wax pieces are the perfect size and shape per melting session. The fragrances are beautiful and individual in scent if compared to each other. Strength and longevity is fantastic and overall the quality is what you want from your home fragrance products.

    Do you want the sad news? The lovely owner behind Fragrantasia Amy is closing shop in the near future. Why? There is only so many hours a mum can look after a family, work AND have their own business. And Amy has decided the wax business needs to put to one side. Right now though the website is still up and running (at time of writing this post), so I would highly recommend making a purchase of high, quality wax melts. But from me to her, I wanted to wish Amy all the best in anything she does next and to thank her for making such beautifully scented and affordable wax products. Fingers crossed Fragrantasia will be back!

  • Fragrantasia’s Sweet Snow & Cherries Wax Chunk Pot

    When I was growing up, home fragrance came in the form of an open window and a bottle of Zoflora. That was how my dad operated. Bless you Mr Griffiths! These days it’s expanded and a bit more elaborate than that. Brands such as Zoflora and Fabulosa are pretty big, combining cleaning with fragrances. Candles are still very popular. Reed diffusers seem to be available all over the place and wax melts are going from strength to strength. Wax melts probably are still my favourite way to fragrance my home. I will use these multiple times in a week mainly in two rooms. This week I decided to use Fragrantasia’s Sweet Snow & Cherries Wax Chunk Pot from my open box. This cost £2.40 for one pot.

    Fragrantasia’s Sweet Snow & Cherries Wax Chunk Pot
    Why did I buy this?

    Firstly, I LOVE wax chunk pots! They look great, they cleverly incorporate two different scents that creates one new fragrance which is imaginative. These are one of my favourite wax forms if you haven’t already guessed. This scent I went for because it was new to me at the time of purchase, it sounded quite fruity (which I love) and I just had a feeling I would love it!

    How does it look?

    Off white coloured wax with irregularly aubergine purple pieces of wax embedded into it. Not only can you see these physically breaking through the surface of the top of this wax chunk pot, but if you look round the sides and bottom of the pot this sits in you can see it’s FULL of these chunks! These two different colours of wax are two different fragrances. It’s not a complicated or an arty looking piece of wax, but there’s something so pleasing to the eye about how this looks.

    Fragrance

    This maybe simple in name but it explains what this fragrance consists of perfectly! You get a fruity, dark cherry scent. There’s a little tartness to it so not too sweet. Mixed in with this, is a scent inspired by a well known bath bomb shop and one of it’s product fragrances (hint, LUSH’s Snow Fairy). This scent is sweet, almost candy sweet. Think candy floss, even bubble gum and fruit flavoured sweeties. What I like about this is it’s not over the top, it’s not so sugar based it makes you feel queasy or comes across synthetic. Perfectly balanced and lip lickingly good!

    In Melt

    I used a quarter of this and popped it into the wax warmer that lives happily in my kitchen. One thing I didn’t realise with this wax chunk was there is a slight shimmer to it. This was only revealed once the piece of wax warmed through and slowly became liquid, that my eyes were met with a delicate and very pretty sparkle. What was left once totally liquid, was a beautiful deep shimmering shade of purple.

    It didn’t take too long to find that not only was my kitchen filled with the scent of Sweet Snow & Cherries but also my living room, which is next door to the kitchen.

    Strength & Longevity

    Strength wise this is medium to strong. It’s powerful but in the sense of the fragrance is there, it stands out and it travels outside of the room it was melting in. Like many wax pieces I use, I had this on for 2 days (at least 4 hours at a time) and it maintained it’s strength and quality throughout.

    Recommended?

    I love this scent! It’s a combination of two different fragrances that are delightful on their own but are amazing together and I adore it! Although this was part of a Winter inspired range of wax last year, I could happily melt this any season as it’s beautiful. So of course this is recommended! If you like your fruity and sweety like fragrances this will be a winner in your home. And the size and weight of this wax chunk pot (roughly 45-50g) will provide hours and hours of fragrance to enjoy.

    At a glance I saw only 1 of these left in stock! So if this is right up your wax melt fragrance street quickly grab it here now.

  • My Fragrantasia Wax Melt Open Box

    Let’s talk wax melts. There is no doubt that fragrancing rooms and homes with wax melts is still incredibly popular. It is in my house that’s for sure! I have been super good and not bought any so far in 2022, my last purchase of 2021 came from a wax vendor called Fragrantasia. Rather than it being one or two pieces that arrived, I paid for an open box. And for any wax melt lover that hasn’t used this service before it’s a game changer!

    My Fragrantasia Wax Melt Open Box
    What’s an Open Box?

    An open box is quite a common thing with some small wax melt companies. You can order what you want and add to your order whenever you like. When you want the whole lot shipped to you, you pay for postage and your order is delivered. I might fancy 3 wax melts today so I order them. I then get paid in 2 weeks and I buy 4 more then. Oh, there’s a sale on so I’m going to buy 10. And I’ve now decided that’s all I want so I pay my p&p and get all 17 pieces posted to me. And THAT’S what I did with Fragrantasia. I bought bit by bit of what I fancied and then closed it when I was done.

    What did I get?

    I got quite a few things over a number of months. Some were popped into Christmas presents but some I’ve kept for myself. My open box included Halloween inspired scents, everyday best seller waxes and Christmas ones too. Here are some of the scents included:

    Halloween. Snoozy Ghosts. Werewolf. Witches Laundry.

    Everyday scents. Fresh Linen. Patchouli Musk. Gold Orchid. Candy Hearts. Cake Batter Fudge.

    Christmas scents. Silver Storm. Tinsel Town. Baby It’s Warm Outside. Snow Love. Sweet Snow & Cherries. Fluffy Pink Candy Canes.

    Christmas Inspired Wax Melts

    I took advantage of having an open box and I bought a range of different scents from different times of the year. Have I started melting these? Unfortunately not! I’ve been kept busy with my wax melt advent calendar from Fragrantasia so my wax warmers have been very busy since December! But I’m very excited to try all of these as they look and smell amazing (from their little packets).

    So, if like me you love your wax and buy them from small businesses who specialise in making and/or selling them, find out if they do an open box. I’ve reviewed various wax melts from Fragrantasia and been more than happy with what I’ve tried so I highly recommend them. I’m so pleased to see them back after their Christmas break. Their website is up and running, with some fantastic blends and shapes ready to be melted in your wax warmer of choice.

    So after browsing their website, what would YOU want to melt?
