  • Christmas Wax Melt Subscription Box With Glow

    I love a subscription box! Especially when I haven’t purchased one for awhile. So I couldn’t miss out on Glow’s November Subscription Box which is filled with Christmas inspired wax melts and extra seasonally goodies as well. Why did I buy this? I don’t have many Christmas wax melts and this was the perfect way to get different Christmas scents all in one collection! Cost? £25.00. So what was in it?

    Christmas Wax Melt Subscription Box With Glow
    Christmas Cookies

    A large, flat, red slab of wax with images of gonks etched into it and the words ‘Merry Christmas’. This is a stunning and fun piece of wax which is incredibly generous in size. Christmas Cookies does smell like a bakery scent. There’s vanilla, sweetness, a little buttery element to it. Mouth wateringly good!

    Cosy Night In

    Mint green in colour, flat and square shaped with ‘North Pole Express’ and reindeer images in this wax melt. Reminds me of a stamp and I love it! The fragrance has a fruity, berry undertone to it but with a hint of bitterness to it and spice. Cosy Night In is a great fragrance and an unusual one.

    Cosy Cardigan

    Same shape and size as Cosy Night In, but pale yellow in colour with the words ‘Merry Christmas’ on the top of it. This isn’t a traditional Winter fragrance. It’s quite fresh and clean with floral notes running underneath it. It’s very pretty and it smells like it’s part laundry part perfume. THIS I know I will enjoy melting!

    Santa’s Grotto

    Soft purple in colour with a reindeer image and the words ‘Reindeer Mail Express’ on the top of it. Very cute and very festive. The actual scent of Santa’s Grotto has sweet, juicy citrus in this (smells like orange) with a slightly masculine woody element to it. It’s a great combination of scents which somehow work well together.

    Twisted Peppermint

    Different shades of blue with an adorable snowman etched into this wax melt square. The fragrance of Twisted Peppermint is what you would expect with it’s scent name. It’s cooling, minty, fresh, sweet, with a little vanilla in this.

    Extra’s

    Along with the wax came a key ring, a small hanging decoration, a panettone and a small bag full of chocolate, which will not last long!

    Extra goodies!
    First impressions?

    This is such a good collection! The amount of wax included will provide hours and hours of fragrance, which is incredible value! The wax melts themselves are colourful, well themed and adorable in appearance. And the fragrances are what you would hope for, for this time of year. But not the boring, predictable fragrances which get hashed out, these are a little different. I love this collection and can’t wait to start melting them over the next few weeks.

    This subscription box was for a limited amount of time and no longer available. But Glow has a variety of home fragrance, bath, body and skincare products available to buy online, with many perfect for gifting over Christmas or to treat yourself.

  • Apple Spice Wax Melt Snap Bar From Home of Honey Candle Co

    We’re now in a season when home fragrance products are the best! The scent choices, the products available, all fitting for the colder months we are now heading into. Which for many of us mean we spend more time inside, or at least are trying to make our homes more comfortable ready for the seasonal change. Without fail, my beloved wax melts are ready to be used and I’ve just started to use wax from a selection I was kindly given by wax vendor Home of Honey Candle Co last month. My first wax melt of choice was Apple Spice, so what is it like?

    Home of Honey Candle & Co’s Apple Spice Wax Melt Snap Bar
    How does it look?

    Apple Spice came in a traditional wax melt snap bar made up of 5 segments. A sprinkle of green and iridescent glitter on the front of this bar makes it stand out. The wax itself colour wise seems to be a mix of pale green and off white. A very attractive bar of wax which reflects it’s fragrance name. Neatly packaged in a clear plastic sleeve with a white bow to finish off the presentation.

    Fragrance

    Sweet, juicy apple rolled into a mix of different spices including (I’m guessing) cinnamon, mixed spice and possibly nutmeg. This is a gorgeous blend of scents combined into one, making this fragrance fruity, warming and very bakery like in how it smells. It has an almost apple crumble smell to it, but not quite, although just as good.

    In melt

    I popped 2 segments of Apple Spice in 2 different wax warmers (one positioned in the living room, the other in the hallway). They both melted evenly and quite quickly and released fragrance straight away. The scent grew and was more noticeable as time went on, which made the fragrance feel and smell very natural.

    Strength & Longevity

    Apple Spice is medium in strength. Think of something baking in the oven and that scent floats around the kitchen. It’s not strong, it definitely isn’t weak. It’s there, it smells good and you enjoy that scent so much you can’t wait to take out whatever is in the oven. This is what Apple Spice makes me think of in regards to how it smells, how it lingers in the air and the general feel it gives. Longevity, this wax melt bar lasted 2 days in 2 locations before the strength lessened. But they were melting for a good number of hours at a time.

    Apple Spice is a yummy scent. It screams Autumn and Winter. It’s warming and comforting, it’s not sickly sweet but is very much a bakery scent rather than full on fruit. Definitely recommended. Wax melt snap bars cost only £2.50, they come in various fragrances but this is worth adding to your collection!

  • Autumn & Winter Scented Wax Melts By Home of Honey

    Do I have a favourite season for using home fragrance? Autumn and Winter are my favourite times. I spend more time at home wanting to feel snug and cosy, and home fragrance products help to maintain that vibe. Autumn and Winter scents tend to be more richer, heavier, and spicier than scents geared towards Spring and Summer, and I love it! So having a package of wax melts kindly sent to me by wax vendor Home of Honey Candle Co, filled with these types of fragrances, was a welcomed delivery. So what wax melts did I receive?

    Home of Honey’s Autumn & Winter Scented Wax Melts
    Fragrances

    These wax melts scream Autumn and Winter! A great mix of fragrances which are traditional and well known for these seasons. So very much tried, tested and loved. They would appeal to the majority of people, that’s why they are popular in general. I received:

    Caramel Pumpkin, Golden Autumn, Cinnamon & Vanilla, Apple Spice, Vanilla Bean Noel, Candy Cane and 12 Days of Christmas.

    12 Days of Christmas Wax Melts
    What type of wax melts are these?

    All of these wax melts, except one, come in a wax melt snap bar. Long and rectangular, and you snap off how much you want to use and melt. 12 Days of Christmas is a selection of individual wax melt shapes. No need for snapping, just put directly into your wax warmer and go!

    Apple Spice Wax Melt Snap Bar
    How do they look?

    Each wax melt snap bar, although shaped the same, look different. All have a creamy base colour to them, but each have embedded on the front different coloured glitter that nicely reflects the fragrance.

    Caramel Pumpkin is covered in a mix of red and gold glitter. Golden Autumn is gold. Cinnamon & Vanilla is gold with iridescent shards on the top. Apple Spice green. Vanilla Bean Noel is multiple glitter all in pastel shades. Candy Cane festive red. And finally, each wax melt is coloured differently (pink, orange, yellow, blue, cream etc) in 12 Days of Christmas Part 1, but no glitter visible that I can see.

    Candy Cane Wax Melt Snap Bar

    The wax melt snap bars are all in clear sleeves finished off with white bows, which is very cute. 12 Days of Christmas Part 1 wax melts are housed in a large, clear plastic case finished off also with a ribbon. On the front each of the scents of the wax melts are mentioned. What I like about the labels on these wax melts is the Autumn scented ones have a pumpkin on the label and the Winter/Christmas ones have trees on them. Such a lovely idea and good attention to detail.

    First impressions?

    Beautifully presented and packaged. The wax melts themselves look so good you want to melt them immediately and from what I can smell with some of these (not opened them all yet), they smell as good as they look! Great mix of fragrances, all perfectly themed for the seasons, easy to use wax melt forms. What is there not to love so far?

    To purchase Home of Honey’s wax melt snap bars, they only cost £2.50 and come in a variety of fragrances. 12 Days of Christmas Part 1 costs £8.99 which is great value for 12 differently fragranced wax melts. If the seasonal wax melts aren’t what you are looking for, there are plenty of other fragrance types and wax melt shapes on the website to purchase here.

  • My Experience of Wax Melts From Home Of Honey

    There are lots and LOTS of places you can buy wax melts. Supermarkets, discount stores, everywhere. But my favourite way to buy wax melts is direct from wax melt vendors. Their range of fragrances, shapes, sizes and forms are the most imaginative and creative wax you will ever see, and still quite affordable! Here is a lowdown of wax melt products I’ve used from wax vendor Home of Honey. All gifted, many used for every day home fragrancing, so what are they like?

    Shapes

    I love different shapes in wax melts, and Home of Honey gave me lots of different wax melts in a variety of sizes and shapes. From the traditional wax melt snap bar, wax melt pot, small faceted hearts, cloud shapes, crumble. So many different forms with each being easy to use and great on the eyes.

    Colours

    What I like about the colouring of Home of Honey’s wax melts is they are all quite subtle. Beautiful colours, nothing garish, all incredibly pretty with a few that really give the WOW factor. Many pieces finished off with a touch of glitter makes them even more special to look at.

    Fragrances

    A good wax vendor will sell wax melts of varied fragrance types, and Home of Honey is no exception. Floral, laundry, bakery, perfume inspired, I got a chance to try them all! Mint Choc Chip Wax Melt Brittle was mouth watering. Rose Wonderland was a great mix of floral and fruit and Opium Goddess has that expensive, perfume quality to it. Gorgeous!

    Strength & Longevity

    All of the wax melts I’ve used from Home of Honey have been medium in strength. To start off with they’ve been quite light (on the whole), but grown and became more obvious as they’ve melted through. All of them have lasted well longevity wise and I’ve had the chance to use each one for many hours at a time.

    Prices

    Prices are varied but all affordable. Starting from 50p for sample sizes which is ideal to try a scent out you might not be sure about. Wax melt snap bars are £2.50. Wax melt bear shapes (soooo cute!) £2.50 and wax melt brittle for £3.00. Many more different forms and shapes available in wax form, and lots of different configurations, sets and collections are available for sale.

    Recommended?

    I’ve been lucky enough to try lots of different wax melts from Home of Honey. I’ve enjoyed everything about them and found them to provide great home fragrance experiences. Being affordable makes wax melt purchases very easy and less of a special occasion buy and more an everyday item to use. So yes, recommended. The problem that you have is what wax melts do you choose?
