  • Delivery! New Wax Melts From Home of Honey Candle Co

    Its not hard to guess a delivery of wax melts. Before a delivery person hands over the package you can SMELL it 5 feet away! And that’s why I knew my latest parcel contained wax melts. The wax melts in question were gifted by UK wax vendor Home of Honey Candle Co and is a mix of various shapes and fragrances. So what was included?

    Unstoppable Collection

    3 differently fragranced 4 segmented wax melt snap bars in:

    Dreams Unstoppables.

    Bliss Unstoppables.

    Spring Unstoppables.

    These are inspired by the laundry unstoppable products that are highly scented and very popular. Beautifully coloured in soft pastels. On the back of these wax snap bars they shimmer, thanks to the addition of glitters.

    Hinch Collection

    3 differently fragranced 4 segmented wax melt snap bars in:

    Vacay Vibes.

    Frosted Eucalyptus.

    White Musk & Golden Maple.

    These are inspired by various Mrs Hinch fragrances in cleaning and laundry products. Subtly coloured, with each colour matching (in my opinion) the fragrance name. On the back there’s lots of glitter on each bar.

    Valentines Collection

    3 differently fragranced 4 segmented wax melt snap bars in:

    Cherry Kisses & Strawberry Hearts.

    Strawberries & Cream.

    Velvet Rose & Oud.

    These fragrances are perfect Valentine Day fragrances. Fruity strawberry, floral rose and other sensual scents are included. As you can imagine, with this collection these snap bars are slightly different shades of pink. Unlike the other collections, glitter is visible on the top (lightly) and on the bottom of each wax melt snap bar.

  • Is Surf’s Deep Sea Wax Melt Any Good?

    As a wax melt lover, I got very excited when I found out B&M were selling wax melts from the laundry brand Surf. I love laundry scents as there’s nothing nicer, fresher and cleaner fragrance wise to use in your home. So of course when I found them I had to give them a go. Costing only £1.50 each and available in 3 different fragrances, I picked up Deep Blue. What was it like?

    Surf’s Deep Sea Wax Melts
    Packaging

    These wax melts come in a rectangular and thin cardboard box. It has a look of how laundry powder/products are packaged in regards to colour and design. Looking at actual Surf Deep Sea products, the colour and images are exactly the same so ties in with the brand perfectly.

    How do the wax melts look?

    Deep Sea wax melts comes in a thin, all white bar. Segmented, so easy to use a square at a time, with each square having a butterfly shape on them which are slightly raised. White in colour, no glitter or pigments and quite sizeable, covering two thirds of the length of my hand.

    Fragrance

    Fresh, clean, powdery with a slight marine like scent to it. A great fragrance if you want something that isn’t floral or fruit based. This is very neutral in fragrance, most people will like it and smells like a traditional laundry scent.

    In melt

    I used one square of this wax melt and found it took a little time to become liquid. The fragrance took time to kick in too. A lot of laundry scented wax melts I’ve used in the past I’ve found the fragrance shoots through quickly, but this didn’t. It took awhile for this to come through but was pleasant when it finally did.

    Strength & Longevity

    When the wax finally got going, the strength of this went from a light to medium to light. It took time to build and as soon as it did the scent got less to the point I turned my wax warmer off. It seemed pointless having it on! Longevity? Poor, not great. I had this melting in two different rooms and it didn’t particularly impress me.

    Recommended?

    No. I’ve melted LOTS of laundry scented wax melts that were punchy and strong and long lasting, and this wasn’t. So disappointing! Especially coming from an actual laundry product brand! Such a shame as I liked the packaging, the size and look of the wax melts but because of how it performed I won’t be buying this again.

  • My 3 Favourite Products of 2024

    Now 2024 has ended, I thought I would look back on all the products I’ve used this year. Some I would happily repurchase again, some I wouldn’t waste my money on and some are now favourites of mine. Favourites to the point they impressed me, I loved using them and would buy again in a heart beat. So what were my favourite products of 2024?

    My 3 Favourite Products of 2024
    Lidl’s LUSH Dupe Shower Gels

    I genuinely had no idea how Lidl’s LUSH dupe shower gels would be, but I’m glad I tried them. It’s not hard to get shower gels that foam/bubble and clean the skin, but to really enjoy using them is something else. Both Relax and Honey I’m Home performed great in the bath and shower. They foamed up beautifully in the shower and created lots of soft bubbles in the bath. My skin didn’t dry out and each one cleaned my skin perfectly. But it was the fragrances that got me. Comforting, soothing, relaxing. These smell amazing, and for only £1.99 each for 500ml I would buy these time and time again (and I have!).

    Superdrug’s Fruity Blood Orange Body Mist

    Fruity Blood Orange Body Mist from Superdrug was a limited edition, affordable fragrance brought out for Autumn/Halloween. The fragrance itself was unusual and very different compared to other body mists on the market. Citrus, musk, spices, not a light fragrance at all but quite a deep and dark one, which I love! It only cost £1.74 at the time and I really wish I had bought more now.

    Home of Honey’s 12 Days of Christmas Part 1 Wax Melts

    I was gifted 12 Days of Christmas Part 1 Wax Melts from Home of Honey Candle Co. This consisted of a collection of 12 Christmas/Winter inspired scented wax melts. This set was one of my favourite products of 2024 because all of the fragrances were beautiful, great strength and great longevity. I was so impressed by this and enjoyed each melt as I used them.

    Home of Honey’s 12 Days of Christmas Part 1 Wax Melts

    So that’s my 3 stand out products for 2024. Were there more? Possibly. Did I love every minute using these? Definitely. Am I sad I’ve used these all up now? Absolutely! Definitely 3 great, affordable and good quality products that deserve to be in my top 3 favourite products of last year.

  • The Festive 12 Day of Christmas Part 1 Wax Melts By Home of Honey

    As a wax melt lover, there is one thing I try to buy for Christmas, which is a wax melt calendar. This year I didn’t as I had already bought a wax melt subscription box containing Christmas inspired wax melts. But I did receive (gifted) a really great alternative to a wax melt calendar, which was 12 Days of Christmas from UK wax vendor Home of Honey Candle Co. So what exactly IS 12 Days of Christmas?

    Home of Honey’s 12 Day of Christmas Part 1 Wax Melts
    12 Day of Christmas

    12 Days of Christmas is a selection of 12 Christmas/Winter inspired wax melts. All housed in a clear plastic casing, with the scents on the label. Each wax melt is shaped as a simple Christmas tree, but all coloured differently.

    Fragrances

    The 12 fragrances included are:

    1. Gingerbread
    2. Pixies in Snow
    3. Snowglobe
    4. Choco Orange
    5. Mint Choc
    6. Cinnamon Orange & Cranberry
    7. Sparkling Fizz & Citrus
    8. Frankincense & Myrrh
    9. Snowflake Kisses
    10. Vanilla Cashmere
    11. Caramel Snowflake
    12. A Merry Morning
    Strength & Longevity

    Honestly? These surprised me! Each one of these wax melts had a good strength to them with some being power houses! The size of each wax melt made me think I was going to get a sample of a scent so not particularly strong, but I was wrong! I got the full fragrance blast from them which lasted for hours and hours! The thing that upset me the most was wanting to try each melt daily, but the previous day’s melt still was strong and beautiful!

    What did I think?

    This was a brilliant little collection of wax melts. I liked how they were packaged and the shape they came in. The scents were all perfect for this time of year and a good mix of different types of fragrances e.g fruity, bakery etc. Strength and longevity was beyond generous and I can honestly say I enjoyed melting each and everyone of these wax melts. Exceptional in quality and performance.

    Snowflake Kisses
    My favourites

    I really enjoyed each and every one of these wax melts. There wasn’t one I didn’t like. I loved Day 3 which was Snowglobe. It was a powerhouse! Strong, fresh, slightly sweet and earthy. Gorgeous! Also, I loved Sparkling Fizz & Citrus because it was fruity and fizzy in scent just as the name suggests! Choco Orange and Mint Choc made my hallway smell literally of chocolate which my son commented on which was a winner.

    Cinnamon, Orange & Cranberry

    Although we are less than 2 weeks away from Christmas, this collection of wax melts is still relevant and definitely should be purchased! These fragrances aren’t just for Christmas but perfect Winter scents too and are stunning to use. Only £9.50 for the set, and worth every penny! Available to purchase here but there are LOTS of other wax melt goodies and fragrances available to suit everyone!
