  • 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.

    Recommended?

    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.

    The Little Wax Box Co’s Banana Nut Bread Wax Snap Bar

    As a lover of wax melts and bakery inspired scented fragrances, Banana Nut Bread Wax Melt Snap Bar was the perfect introduction to the wax vendor The Little Wax Box Co thanks to a friend. An unusual and highly addictive fragrance which was surprisingly strong and punchy.

    Beauty Laundrette’s Cotton Smooth Micellar Body Wash

    Never thought I would be a fan of something so softly scented, but when the dreaded curse of hay fever kicked in, this was perfect for me! Foam, non stripping and lightly fragranced. Cotton Smooth Micellar Body Wash is ideal for this time of year. Beauty Laundrette are a fun and interesting range available from the UK based store Superdrug.

    The Body Shop’s Mango Body Butter

    Body butters are a great alternative to a traditional body lotion if you suffer from dry skin. Thick, more emollient like and very protective, this is why I love them! And The Body Shop’s Mango Body Butter is one I’ve used and is now on my ‘love’ list!

  • Scents of Smell A Birthday Wish Wax Melt Snap Bar

    Scents of Smell A Birthday Wish Wax Melt Snap Bar

    Lets talk about wax. As a wax melt lover, I love to get suggestions of where to buy wax from. I haven’t tried every wax vendor in the UK, so being pointed in a new direction is something I’m always open to. One vendor I was recommended to was Scents of Smell. I made an order of a few wax melt snap bars to try this UK based wax vendor out. The first bar I melted was called A Birthday Wish. Each bar ( included this one ) I purchased was £2.50 each.

    Scents of Smell’s A Birthday Wish Wax Bar
    Why did I buy this?

    This is a made up of two scents that I’ve melted before separately, so this combination really intrigued me. I would never have put them together myself.

    Scents of Smell Scent Description

    A blend of 1000 wishes and sweet birthday cake.

    Packaging

    Placed in a simple clear plastic sleeve with company and scent name on the front. On the back general warnings and ingredients are listed.

    How does this look?

    Think of a bar of chocolate but wider. This is segmented, so provides an easy way to break any of the 12 squares off to use. A pale baby blue colour, with a lemon yellow trail running through it randomly.

    Fragrance

    Once I opened this up and stuck my nose in the wrapper I knew this was the perfect scent for me. You get 1000 wishes coming through first. This has a perfume scent and feel to it ( it should as its inspired by a branded fragrance ). Sweet, floral, a touch of citrus but with a little musk. Rounded off with the most delicious, cake like smell which reminded me of a Victoria sponge ( think vanilla sponge, cream and jam! ) which had just been freshly cut ready to eat.

    In Melt

    I used three squares in my wax warmer which was the right amount for the room it was fragrancing ( living room ). Depending on the warmer/melter used and room, this may vary. This melted evenly and quickly, and the wax pool it created had a shimmer to it which I wasn’t expecting and really looked beautiful. The scent I smelt before melting and the scent while melting were identical.

    Strength & Longevity

    This is a scent which is strong. When I say strong it’s not strong where its fighting with your nose, but strong in the sense of it holds its own in a room. It stood out against other smells e.g food, and I could even smell this through a closed window as I opened my front door! Longevity is excellent and this scented wax bar really provides great value for money. For 3 days my 3 squares of wax were melting for good duration of time e.g 5 hours on each day, and it still continued to give a great throw of fragrance even after that.

    Recommended?

    Lets just say this will be on my list of favourite scents this year ( its slowly growing !). I love scents that surprise me and this did. A Birthday Wish Wax Melt Snap Bar as a perfume and bakery collaboration is beautiful. And the quality of this wax from Scents of Smell is very good. So highly recommended.
