Today's Melt: BH&G Candied Caramel Pecan
This one is really nice. I have it going in my Sassy Scentsationals warmer from Wal Mart. It has a medium throw and smells different warm than cold. The pecan comes out a bit more warm, so it is the nice balance where the nuttiness and the caramel don't overpower each other, while most Caramelized Pralines scents I have smelled (like the CBV one) are really strong on the praline and not enough caramel. I really like this one and will probably repurchase this if I ever find it again. It smells great, the throw is good and it has lasted a while. Great product. (4/5)

Hillbilly Wax Haul: BH&G
Today, I went to Walmart and got 5 clamshell tarts from Better Homes and Gardens. I thought I would share it with you.
Mulberry Plum Spice- Smells like the Vampire Blood hand soap with a tiny bit of cinnamon.
Warm Autumn Welcome- This is the one people say smells like Yankee Harvest Welcome, but I can't say yay or nay on that. I think it smells like a spiced pumpkin a it of sweetness and a fresh air scent in the background.
Sugared Melon Kiwi- I heard somewhere this one is hard to find, so I had to get it. The first thing I get a slightly candied watermelon and then what I think is a kiwi scent.
Candied Caramel Pecan- You might be thinking, how is that any different than Caramelized Pralines? It smells like the caramel from CP, with almost no praline. It just smells like the part of CP i like.
Iced Carrot Cake- I know Jdazzler15 raved about this and I can see what she is talking about. It smells like a spicy cake with a little bit of cream cheese frosting.

LUSH Christmas Overview! Feat 8 New Hair Products and Halloween
Before I start, I would like to say that I have not tried any of these products yet, so all of the information is condensed from the Lush Times (American one), www.lushusa.com (for Halloween products and Retro Christmas) and lush.co.uk (for hair product info). I hope you enjoy this overview.
In Store Christmas Items (Information from the LUSH Times USA)
Twilight Shower Gel- This is a shower gel scented with the scent of the Twilight Bath Bomb, so anybody who loves the bath bomb should stock up, this is only for Christmas! I know I will be getting some. ($9.95, $18.95, $27.95)
So White Bath Bomb- The famous bath bomb is back and bigger! This one is 6.3oz instead of the smaller one they usually have for Christmas. It is scented of red apples and this year, it has a pink center! I want to get this one for a cocktail with Cinders to make an Apple Cider bath! ($6.35)
Midnight Massage Massage Bar- A massage bar scented with jasmine. If you love massage bars and jasmine, I would recommend purchasing this. I am not a huge jasmine fan, but I like Silky Underwear. This might be really nice paired with the Silky Underwear Dusting Powder. ($9.95)
North Pole Soap- I think this is supposed to be a replacement for the Candy Cane soap from last year. The white is scented with chocolate and the pink is scented with a woody, minty scent. I'm not sure if I would purchase this, I would have to smell it in the store first. ($6.95 for 3.5oz)
Snow Globe Soap- The beloved soap is back! I know VintageChic1927 and Khrystyn14 from YouTube both love this soap! It says that it smells of lemon, grapefruit and yland ylang. If anything, I will get a small piece of this, I don't really take showers in the morning. ($7.95 for 3.5oz)
Rocket Reusable Bubble Bar- I don't take baths enough to warrant getting a reusable bubble bar, so I probably won't be getting this. It says that it smells of violets, and I don't really like florals. I will still smell it, but I won't be buying this one. ($9.95)
Christmas Eve Bubble Bar- The famous bubble bar is back this year! I really want to try this one! It smells of relaxing jasmine and ylang ylang. ($7.25)
Snowcake Soap- This soap smells like almond icing. I will probably not buy this, I don't like almond scents. I know a lot of people love this soap though. ($7.95 for 3.5oz)
Melting Snowman Bath Melt- This bath melt really looks like a melting snowman! It looks adorable, and I can't wait to try it out! It smells of cinnamon, clove and lime. ($5.95)
Candy Mountain Bubble Bar- This bubble bar is back. It is scented like Creamy Candy and is pink and green swirl this year. Unless you like the way this looks more than the Creamy Candy, I wouldn't get this, it is the same size, but more expensive. I'm sure it smells amazing, though. ($7.25)
Santa's Sack Bubble Bar- The sack is a bubble bar and it has two small reusable bubble bars inside it. This one is very spicy, so I would only recommend this one if you like heavy spice. ($9.95)
Sandy Santa Sugar Scrub- This is a sugar scrub shaped and colored like a Santa Claus. It smells like Brazilian orange, rosewood and sandalwood. I don't like solid sugar scrubs, so I probably won't purchase this unless it smells over the top amazing. ($5.95)
Snow Fairy Shower Gel- The famous candy floss shower gel is back with even better packaging! I will probably be getting at least a small bottle of it if it smells nice. ($9.95, $18.95, $27.95)
Buche de Noel Facial Cleanser- The facial cleanser is back. It has almonds, satsumas and cranberries. It is supposed to be moisturizing for dry skin in the winter. It says that is a holiday version of Angels on Bare Skin, which I am not a fan of, so I will probably not be purchasing this. ($12.95 for 3.5oz)\
Father Christmas Bath Bomb- This clove and vanilla bath bomb turns your water from red to green and puts out red glitter. I am not a fan of clove, so I may not buy this one. ($6.40)
Let The Good Times Roll Facial Cleanser- An exfoliating, toffee scented facial cleanser with popcorn in it. I am good with my Clinique face wash so I won't be buying this one. ($12.95 for 3.5oz)
Magic Wand Reusable Bubble Bar- A reusable bubble bar scented with Snow Fairy. You just swish it around in the water and then turn on the water and it makes bubbles. According to VintageChic1927, the bubbles are more fizzy than smooth. ($9.95)
Angel's Delight Soap- Orange and tangerine soap in a colorful soap. ($5.95 for 3.5oz)
Golden Wonder Bath Bomb- A bath bomb with the Snowshowers scent. Turns the water a pretty green color. ($6.95)

Bubblebeard Reusable Bubble Bar- A moustache bubble bar scented with lavender and sandalwood. Must be very relaxing. ($9.95)
Crackersnap Bath Bomb- A lemongrass bath bomb that turns your water bright green. It may have some other surprises inside... ($9.95)

Today's Melt: Apple Butter Festival
This scent is a mix of Apple Cinnamon Butter and Kettle Corn. I got this as my free scent shot in my Fall order. I really like this one more warm than on cold. On cold it just smelled like the ACB scent, but the Kettle Corn comes out more as an unsalted, unbuttered popcorn under the ACB. It is really nice and a good surprise, since I hate kettle corn to eat and to smell. (4.5/5)

Today's Melt: Pumpkin Chocolate
This scent is really nice. A lot of chocolate and a bit of pumpkin. The chocolate is a milk chocolate and the pumpkin is not a spicy pumpkin. I really like this and it lasted a long time. (4/5)

Shayz Scentz Haul!
Today I got in my Shayz Scentz order. I placed this a little over a week ago and I just received it a little while ago. I made an order with my mother and we both got scents. I will start with the free tart cups. If you spend $25 you get free shipping and 3 free tart cups of your choice. I did not get any other samples and that is perfectly okay. All of the scents I ordered are in the tart cups. I will specify which ones were gifted for free and which ones belong to my mother. I paid for all of the other ones with my own money. I will make a post-curing review in 2 weeks.
Pink Sugar- I got a lot of Pink blends in this order, so I wanted to have a regular Pink Sugar so I know what it smells like and to have for other mixing. I smell the caramel and the raspberry first, then cotton candy and a tiny undertone of lemon. I can tell this hasn't cured quite yet but I am loving it! (4/5)
Pink Lilac- This was one of my free tart cups. I smell both the Pink Sugar and the lilac but the lilac is slightly stronger than the Pink Sugar. Lilac is my favorite flower and I can tell this one is going to be really strong. It will be amazing in the spring time! (3/5)
Minty Pink- I saw VintageChic1927 on YouTube raving about this and a similar scent (Pink Peppermint from Tiffany Candes) and had to pick it up. I can tell right off the bat both why she loves it and why she likes to sleep with it on. This smells amazing. The peppermint is the strongest note and it gives a cooling sensation when you smell it. I think the peppermint is a candy cane type smell, not just a straight peppermint, it has some creaminess. I smell the Pink Sugar too, it just isn't as strong as the mint. This is the best one I've smelled so far! (5/5)
Pink Lavender Supreme- This is one of my free tart cups. The lavender is definitely the strongest note, but the Pink Sugar is there just sweetening it up in the background. I would love it more if the Pink Sugar came out more. (3/5)
Pinkened Pomegranate- It smells like Bath and Body Works Midnight Pomegranate with an undertone of Pink Sugar. (4.5/5)
Pink Berry- The Pink Sugar is all I can smell, but the berries in the berry scent bring out the raspberry jam scent in the Pink Sugar. I think if it stays like this, I will prefer this to Pink Sugar. (4.5/5)
Warm Pink Vanilla Sugar- The Warm Vanilla Sugar is stronger than the Pink Sugar but the Pink Sugar gives the Warm Vanilla Sugar a fruity note. (4.5/5)
Pink Tea & Ginger- This scent is very complex and blended very well. I can't pick out many individual notes, but I would have to say it smells like a Teavana tea that has fruits and sugar in it. (4.5/5)
Pink Mousse-This smells like Pink Berry but with more creaminess to it. (4.5/5)
Pink Vanilla Berry Cobbler- This one smells like sugary berries with a baked crust note. (5/5)
Pink Pumpkin- Smells like Pink Sugar and strong cinnamon. Not red hot cinnamon though. The cinnamon is stronger than the Pink Sugar in this one. If you like Pink blends and want a fall one, get this one. (3.5/5)
Pink Pie- This smells like pumpkin pie with a bit of Pink Sugar in the background. (4/4)
Pink Marshmallows- This is the Pink blend in this order, promise. This smells really nice, it smells like super sugary marshmallows with a hint of fruit. (5/5)
Cinnamon Apple Berry- This one is a Yankee dupe. I have never smelled the Yankee scent though. Smells like apples and berries with a bit of spice. I really like this and will burn some of it before fall leaves. (4.5/5)
Cranberry- A very nice cranberry scent. Medium tartness and seems really strong. (4/5)
Apple Mint Jelly- This is surprisingly nice. This is the perfect balance of apple and peppermint. I wasn't expecting much from this scent, but this is really nice. (3/5)
Pumpkin Crunch Cookies- Smells like a pumpkin mixed with a cookie. This cookie is not sugar cookie, it is a richer cookie. There is no spice to be found, just a nice pumpkin cookie with a bit of whipped cream. (4.5/5)
Wildberry Mousse- This is another scent VintageChic1927 raved about and I adore this scent. It smells like assorted berries, not candied berries, with cream. Awesome. (5/5)
Caramelized Lemons- This would be a great kitchen scent. I can tell that VintageChic1927 would love this scent. The perfect balance of caramel and lemon zest with a touch of Fruit Loops. (4.5/5)
Pumpkin Apples- I thought that this would be a nice dupe of Yankee's Apple Pumpkin and I was wrong. This is very strong on the macintosh apple with very minimal pumpkin. I like it but it wasn't what I was looking for. (3/5)
Blueberry Cheesecake- A lot of blueberry with a creamy background. (4/5)
Pumpkin Cookies- Smells just like Pumpkin Crunch Cookies, but the cookie is more sugary. (4.5/5)
Pound Cake- An amazing cakey, buttery, rich pound cake scent. No fruit to be found. This is amazing for bakery lovers! (5/5)
Cinnamon Buns- A red hot cinnamon with a bit of bakery. I hope the bakery comes out more after curing. (2.5/5)
Cinnamon Apple Marshmallows- An apple cinnamon with a vanilla background. Not a marshmallow vanilla, just a normal vanilla ice cream vanilla. I like it, but I was expecting more marshmallow. (3/5)
Caramelized Apples- Smells like the caramel from CBV Caramelized Pralines with some spicy apple. I really like this one. (4/5)
Gingersnap- I smell just ginger, no cookie right now, and i only like ginger with the cookie note. (2/5)
Blueberry Buttermilk Pancakes- I smell the blueberry, I smell the buttermilk pancakes and I don't smell any syrup. I wanted more of that maple syrup note, but I'll see after it cures. (3.5/5)
Those were all of the scents that I got, now for the ones that my mother ordered.
Monkey Farts- Fake banana and bubblegum. I hate to say I hate it, but I realy don't like this scent. If this is what monkey farts smell like, I am never getting a monkey. (1/5)
Banana Nut Bread- Smells awesome! The bread and slight nuttiness make the banana less fake. (4/5)
Apple Butter & Caramel- A caramel scent with a bit of apple and spice. (3/5)
Blueberry Cobbler- Smells like the Blueberry Cobbler I got from Sweet Fixations, heavily blueberry scent with some breadiness, almost pancakey and a bit of cinnamon. (3.5/5)
Red Velvet Cake- I don't know what Red Velvet Cake is supposed to smell like, but this smells nice. I smell the frosting, I don't know what kind (maybe cream cheese?) and some general cakey goodness. (3.5/5)
Snickerdoodle- For some reason, this one is blue. This smells like what I wanted Gingersnap to smell like. I'm sure she will love this, her favorite coffee is the Snickerdoodle coffee at Bagel Boys. (4/5)
Doodle Cookies- Smells like Snickerdoodle but more buttery. (4/5)
Amish Bread- It smells like raisins and bread with no cinnamon and a hint of nuttiness. (3/5)
Pumpkin Cookies- Already did this one, she got it too.
Cinnamon Raisin Bread- Smells like the Pepperidge Farm Cinnamon Raisin Bread. (4/5)
Mom's Lemon Meringue Pie- Fruit Loops. I don't know why all citrus bakery scents are starting to smell like Fruit Loops to me! GAH! (4.5/5)
Fresh Oranges- If Citronella was orange scented, it would smell like this. (2/5)
Cappucino Brulee- Strong coffee with an undertone of fake chocolate. If there was a Starbucks inside of Willy Wonka's chocolate factory, it would smell like this. (2/5)
That is it for this review and I will write to you guys later!
Pink Sugar- I got a lot of Pink blends in this order, so I wanted to have a regular Pink Sugar so I know what it smells like and to have for other mixing. I smell the caramel and the raspberry first, then cotton candy and a tiny undertone of lemon. I can tell this hasn't cured quite yet but I am loving it! (4/5)

Apple Butter & Caramel- A caramel scent with a bit of apple and spice. (3/5)
Blueberry Cobbler- Smells like the Blueberry Cobbler I got from Sweet Fixations, heavily blueberry scent with some breadiness, almost pancakey and a bit of cinnamon. (3.5/5)
Red Velvet Cake- I don't know what Red Velvet Cake is supposed to smell like, but this smells nice. I smell the frosting, I don't know what kind (maybe cream cheese?) and some general cakey goodness. (3.5/5)
Snickerdoodle- For some reason, this one is blue. This smells like what I wanted Gingersnap to smell like. I'm sure she will love this, her favorite coffee is the Snickerdoodle coffee at Bagel Boys. (4/5)
Doodle Cookies- Smells like Snickerdoodle but more buttery. (4/5)
Amish Bread- It smells like raisins and bread with no cinnamon and a hint of nuttiness. (3/5)
Pumpkin Cookies- Already did this one, she got it too.
Cinnamon Raisin Bread- Smells like the Pepperidge Farm Cinnamon Raisin Bread. (4/5)
Mom's Lemon Meringue Pie- Fruit Loops. I don't know why all citrus bakery scents are starting to smell like Fruit Loops to me! GAH! (4.5/5)
Fresh Oranges- If Citronella was orange scented, it would smell like this. (2/5)
Cappucino Brulee- Strong coffee with an undertone of fake chocolate. If there was a Starbucks inside of Willy Wonka's chocolate factory, it would smell like this. (2/5)
That is it for this review and I will write to you guys later!
