  • Home of Honey’s Ghost Wax Melt Snap Bar

    Let’s talk home fragrance, more specifically wax melts. We all have our favourite scents, a go to fragrance, THAT comforting smell that breathes life into a room. What are yours? I like lots of different scents, especially those that have a perfume type feel and smell to them. So I was very excited to use the recently gifted Home of Honey’s Ghost Wax Melt Snap Bar. I hoped it would provide a pretty scent to the room I used it in. Did it deliver?

    Packaging

    Home of Honey’s Ghost Wax Melt Snap Bar comes in the standard clear, plastic casing. Easy to store, easy to open and close and overall practical.

    How does it look?

    This flat, 5 segmented wax bar is a gorgeous shade of pink, with a dark swirl of pink running through it.

    Fragrance

    This is a clear mix of rose and white florals, so giving depth (rose) and something lighter and less heavier in smell (white). There’s a slight fruitiness to this so it’s quite uplifting and overall a very pretty fragrance. This SMELLS like a perfume. Is it a dupe of the fragrance Ghost? Dare I confess I’ve never actually smelt it but if it smells like this I need to!

    Strength & Longevity

    The strength of Ghost is light to medium. It’s not the strongest scent I’ve ever smelt but it lightly lingers. I think this is how the particular scent behaves because I’ve had different brands of this before and they act the same why. It’s noticeable and I think it’s the right strength for the type of fragrance it is. Longevity is decent. I’ve had this melted for a few hours over two days and it hasn’t died and I still get hits of it.

    This is a beautiful fragrance. If you love your perfume inspired scents and those that are more on the ‘pretty’, floral side, this is for you! I can’t see too many people who wouldn’t like this because it’s not offensive and incredibly nice on the nose. Only £2.50 for this wax melt snap bar and is available on the website here.

  • Home of Honey’s Lily of the Valley Wax Melt Snap Bar

    Why is home fragrance important? It sets a mood. A nice smelling home or room is inviting and comforting when you’re in it. On a practical level home fragrance products can get rid of the not so nice smells we all experience, such as cooking. These are just two reasons why home fragrance products, especially wax melts, are very popular. One wax vendor I’ve been introduced to is Home of Honey, who recently gifted me various wax melt products, including Lily of the Valley Wax Melt Snap Bar. I’ve been melting this recently, so what is it like?

    Packaging

    This wax melt snap bar comes in a plastic casing. I find these great because it keeps the wax secured inside and makes it very easy to store. Since the casing is clear, you can see the wax and the front is finished off with a simple but effective label.

    How does the wax look?

    Lily of the Valley comes in a long, rectangular five segmented bar. It’s a buttery golden colour with a subtle gold shimmer running through it.

    Fragrance

    Powdery, white florals. That’s the best and easiest way to describe how this smells. This isn’t the type of fragrance I normally go for but it’s pretty and the perfect fragrance to enjoy during Summer.

    In melt

    I used Lily of the Valley Wax Melt Snap Bar in two rooms in two different wax warmers. In one, with a slightly larger dish, I used two segments. In the other I used one. Both melted very quickly and left a gorgeous golden, shimmering wax pool behind.

    Strength & Longevity

    This is medium strength wise. I rarely find floral based wax melts to be stronger than this so this is what I expected. It’s the perfect strength because it gives the air a natural fragrance rather than an over the top, heady one. Longevity I find is good. I’ve had both wax warmers on for two days with Lily of the Valley Wax Melt Snap Bar melting for a good number of hours and I can still smell it. Although it’s not as strong as it was on day 1, I think overall it’s performed very well.

    I’ve enjoyed experiencing Lily of the Valley Wax Melt Snap Bar. It comes across as quite a traditional floral fragrance which floral fragrance lovers should like. The powderiness of the scent gives it a very clean feel to it which I found very appealing. I would recommend this if you’re looking for Summer styled fragrances and floral based ones because it’s really nice and brings the outside in.

    If you want to buy Lily of the Valley Wax Melt Snap Bar or other fragrances that are available, the wax melt snap bars only cost £2.50 each. There is a massive selection of different fragrances available if Lily of the Valley isn’t for you, including Rhubarb & Rose and Black Raspberry & Vanilla. Visit the website to see what’s available.

  • Home of Honey’s English Pear & Freesia Wax Melt Brittle

    A collection of wax melts was recently gifted to me by UK based wax vendor Home of Honey. In this box of goodies were wax melts in various shapes, sizes, colours and fragrances. The first one I grabbed to use straight away was English Pear & Freesia Wax Melt Brittle. I thought this would be the perfect scent to experience during a warmer season and it looked so enticing. So what is English Pear & Freesia Wax Melt Brittle like?

    Home of Honey’s English Pear & Freesia Wax Melt Brittle
    Packaging

    This wax brittle came in a sealed sachet. White, plain with a clear window on the front so you can see the wax inside. It’s a very basic form of packaging but it’s practical and looks really good and nicely presented. This would make a great gift look wise if given to a wax melt user and lover.

    How does it look?

    English Pear & Freesia Wax Melt Brittle is flat, thin, irregular shaped pieces of wax. It’s not one block colour, but shades of green, pink and cream run through this. Finished off with a generous layer of glitter making the wax incredibly pretty.

    In melt

    Since the wax melt brittle is quite thin, this wax melted very quickly and produced a shimmering soft green wax pool. The fragrance was released immediately as it melted away.

    Fragrance

    I’ve used wax melts in this fragrance before from other wax vendors and this scent was exactly the same. This is a beautiful blend of pretty white florals, soft, sweet, juicy and clean pear with powdery notes running through it. English Pear & Freesia is a stunning fragrance which even floral haters will love!

    Strength & Longevity

    This wax melt brittle is medium in strength. It started off quite soft and built up a little more strength wise in a natural way. Longevity wise, despite this not being a powerhouse type fragrance, does last.

    Recommended?

    English Pear & Freesia is such a good fragrance and perfect for Spring and Summer melting. It’s fresh, pretty, and would appeal to most people because it’s THAT type of scent. Home of Honey have done a brilliant job in regards to how this smells and how this looks. 100% recommended!

    50g of wax melt brittle comes in various fragrances, not just English Pear & Freesia, and only costs £3.00. Visit the website here to see what’s available and make the difficult choice of which fragrance to choose from!

  • My First Impressions Of Home of Honey Wax Melts

    If you’ve read my blog, you will know how much I love wax melts. Using wax melts is my favourite way to fragrance my home and has been for years. You can pick up wax melts from anywhere on the high street but I still find small businesses who make and sell wax melts are the best. I was kindly gifted a selection of wax melts from a business called Home of Honey to try out. So what did I receive?

    3 Snap Bars

    These came in the fragrances of Ghost, Belle and Lily of the Valley. All three beautifully coloured and 50g each, which will give hours of fragrance.

    A sachet of wax brittle

    Wax brittle is flat, irregular (but sizeable) pieces of wax. This came in the fragrance of English Pear & Freesia. Lovely Spring/Summer colours of pinks and greens with a splash of glitter. Packaged well in a sealed sachet.

    2 Singular shapes

    Included in this set was two single wax melts. One heart shaped and faceted. The other a chunky, cloud shape. The first is in the fragrance of Plum, Rose & Patchouli, the second is Rose Wonderland. Plum, Rose & Patchouli wax melt is perfect for that one time use because of the size. No cutting, just pop it straight in. Rose Wonderland needs chopping up because of it’s generous size and weight of 40g.

    2 Duos

    2 small wax melts with each duo housed in a small sachet. Baby Powder is shaped in two rings and Angel Halo two faceted hearts.

    A tube of 16 mini wax melts

    16 mini cloud shaped wax melts in the fragrance of Savage, was the last in this collection from Home of Honey. 8 in a blue colour and the other 8 in a creamy/pinkish hue. These came in a clear plastic tube. I’ve never seen wax melts housed like this and I LOVE this idea! Very imaginative, practical, easy to store and easy to use.

    First impressions?

    It’s obvious this wax vendor takes a lot of time, care and thought into how they want their wax to look and packaged. First impressions count and these ticked the box. The wax melts look great and are very appealing. Deliberately or not, all the colours came together almost themed, which I appreciated. The fragrances of the wax melts I received are a brilliant mix of designer fragrance dupes, Summer perfect scents and classics, which everyone will enjoy.

    How do these smell? I’ve had a few sniffs while they are in their packaging and they all smell beautiful. They will be melted very soon, so wait and read what I thought of the performance of these wax melts.
