I've been a avid candle burner for some years now but it has become costly. I've been looking to cut corners in terms of costs to a lot of things that I buy and I haven't purchased candles in MONTHS! Yes, in months. I ran out of my very last candle some time last December. Now we're in March and I found a new alternative to get my wax. I have seen wax cubes a few times on social media and I just didn't think that I would enjoy it the same way I enjoy burning candles. As of a couple weeks ago, I found out how wrong I was!
I purchased my first wax melts at Walmart alongside a warmer. It was a Better Homes and Gardens 20Watt warmer. It was a nice piece for the living room so I opted for that one to test out. I picked up ScentSationals Egyptian Cotton, ScentSationals Illusion, and ScentSationals Pink Velvet. I melted Egyptian Cotton first. It was nice but about a couple hours in I decided to add a cube of Illusion to mix with it. This combination lasted me almost a week whilst remaining on the same plate on my warmer. I just poured it out today to replace with another scent.
Since then, I bought a warmer for my room, my sister's room, and my mom's room as well from JC Penney. She likes the concept so she is going to bring one home to Ghana on her trip this year as well. Now everyone is warming! I share some of my findings and warming adventures on my Snap Chat. I also belong to a group on Facebook. I'll leave the links below so that you can check them out as well. The group helps me out being that I'm new to melting wax. I am also introduced to other bloggers and YouTubers as well. It's very informative and the people have been melting for years now! There are tons of other brands out there as well. This group that I belong to is dedicated to retail wax only. Which is super convenient for me because I can find the wax handy at physical stores such as JCP, Kohl's, Target, Yankee Candle, Big Lots, Walmart, etc. Please feel free to request to join the group!
Let's get into this Pink Velvet Review!
Upon cold sniff, I knew this was going to be a gem. I found this scent in a ScentSationals hashtag on Instagram. I decided to pick it up because of it's popularity. I had to go back yesterday to pick up back ups ( I picked up 4 more clamshells). The scent carries a nice sweet, creamy note to it. It's almost like a bakery scent. Some people have said that the scent favors Aqualina's Pink Sugar. Having smelled the scent and working with it for a while...I would say that it is close but not the same. I much rather prefer the Pink Velvet fragrance over the Aqualina Pink Sugar Scent. I haven't worn the scent on my skin which also creates another factor. On a fragrance strip from work, the Aquilina has more of a floral scent to it. Not so much bakery. The throw on this fragrance would have to be a 4 out of 5 for me. It is a nice soft scent. It isn't strong and overpowering. For that reason, I had to pick up more. In my bedroom it is amazinggggggg. I haven't been melting long but so far this is my favorite scent thus far. I enjoy scents similar to this. Bakery, sweet, edible...lol. I do enjoy fresh scents as well such as SS Himalayan Pink Salt, Estate's Black Coconut Sands, SS Tea Thyme, SS Papagayo Beach, etc. I just can't live without my bakery lol. If this scent came in body care, I'd be on it like hot cakes. My warmer is a 25W bulb from Estate that I got from JCP. It has been doing very well with all my wax melts so far from Walmart. The ScentSationals wax melts are $2 which is awesome. I don't feel like I'm spending so much to switch scents as frequent as I'd like. I don't have to worry about accidentally leaving my candle on and burning when I'm not around. I also don't have to worry about soot! I hate when I have to blow out a scent and I get that nasty smokey scent after or it stains the glass.
I recommend that you check out our group to find out more about wax and if you're interested in this scent, make sure to check out your Walmart or ScentSationals website!
