Today's Melt: CBV Cinnamon Donuts

This one smells just like Cinnamon Donuts, with equal parts of cinnamon sugar and dough.  I really love this one and will be repurchasing this. The throw is medium, but maybe it just hasn't cured long enough yet.  I will savor the last 3/4 of it until I get another one. (5/5)

Favorite Fall Lip Product- I absolutely love the CO Bigelow Mentha Supreme 2X Shine Lip Gloss.  I know it is a gloss, but it is an amazing lip balm.  I would probably say the Cinnamint flavor for Fall, but I have the Vanillamint one.  I love it.  Expect a review soon.

Favorite Fall Drink- I love Apple Cider.  I have been drinking multiple glasses every day and i can't get enough.  Amazing.

Favorite Fall Candles- I will tell you a lot of them.  From CBV, I love Leesha, Country Bumpkin, Dutch Apple Crunch, Pumpkin Pear Strudel, Pumpkin Eggnog, Chocolate Chip Cookie, Cinnamon Donuts, Pumpkin Chocolate, Apple Butter Festival and Pumpkin Cider.  From Shayz, Caramelized Apples, Pumpkin Crunch Cookies, Cinnamon Apple Marshmallows, Pound Cake and Pink Tea & Ginger.  From Better Homes and Gardens, I love Warm Autumn Welcome, for Yankee I love Apple Pumpkin and Harvest Welcome.  For Bath and Body Works, I love Pumpkin Cupcake, Leaves, Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin, Cranberry Woods and French Baguette.

Favorite Halloween Movie- Hocus Pocus.  I love Bette Midler, one of the best performers of all time and her performance is nothing short of awesome.  Sarah Jessica Parker gives the childish stupidity hilarity, instead of being irritating and Kathy Najimy is very good as well.  It is about 3 witches who are brought back from the dead, they can only live until the end of Halloween, so they want to once again make the potion that lets them suck the life out of the children who drink it, keeping them alive and young forever.  Definitely worth watching and fun for all.

Favorite Candies- Twix, Milky Way, Skittles, Ghiradelli Chocolate, Crunch with Caramel, Caramel, M&Ms and Krackle.

Halloween Costume 2012- Animal from the Muppets.

Favorite Thing About Fall- This is really hard.  I love all of the candle scents, but I also love cider and all of the fall landscaping.  As a performer, I love Halloween.  I love to pretend to be other things than who I am , but getting to take it off and be myself at the end.  I have always loved the fall season and I always will.  The scenes are picturesque, the weather is beautiful and the air is amazing.

Today's Melt: Warm Autumn Welcome

Today, I am melting Warm Autumn Welcome from Better Homes & Gardens.  It smells like spiced pumpkin and fresh air.  This is the one that people say smells like Harvest Welcome from Yankee, I can't say yay or nay but if it is accurate, I will be getting some of those tarts during the next sale where tarts are $1.  I really like this, a great fall scent.  A Yankee SA told me there will probably be a tart sale for Veteran's Day.  I will definitely get some of the harvest Welcome if it smells like this.  When I get/smell it, I will tell you in the haul if it smells like this.  (4.5/5)

Shayz Scentz Update

I will do the Today's Melt part at the end of the day, once I determine the strength, longevity and overall quality of my first melted Shayz tart.

Blueberry Cheesecake- This one smells like strong blueberry and a bit of cheesecake.  I hope the cheesecake comes out more when it is melting.  (3.5/5)
Pumpkin Cookies- This one is pretty equal on pumpkin and sugar cookie, no spice and it doesn't smell very strong.  (4/5)
Pink Pie- I get both notes at the same time and pretty equally.  This smells really nice, but it doesn't smell strong.  I already smelled Pumpkin Crunch Cookie and it smells strong.  I don't know what it is with the pumpkin scents I got, with the exception of PCC, they smell weak.  (4/5)
Warm Pink Vanilla Sugar- The first thing I get is the raspberry from the Pink Sugar and then the Warm Vanilla Sugar scent which smells just like the one from Bath and Body Works!  (4/5)
Cinnamon Buns- This smells nice, but not quite like I wanted it to.  It smells like cinnamon and a bit of icing.  I get no bun scent.  (3/5)
Cinnamon Apple Berry- They should just call this Apple Berry.  It smells like a perfect blend of apple and berry.  I really like this one!  (4/5)
Pink Tea & Ginger- This just smells like a perfect sweet tea.  Just enough tea to be called a tea scent without smelling like an herbal scent with just enough sweetness to tell there is something sweet, but it blends flawlessly.  This is like something from the CBV Black Label Line, perfect blend of a lot of different scents.  (4/5)
Pink Lilac- This smells a lot less perfumey than it did when I got it.  It is a nice blend of the two notes, perfect for spring.  (3.5/5)
Minty Pink- The candy cane smell is the strongest note but you can definitely smell the pink sugar.  I love this one and will definitely melt this in the winter.  (5/5)
Pink Lavender Supreme- The herbal lavender overtakes this blend, I don't get much Pink Sugar.  Maybe it will come out more when it is warm.  (3/5)
Pound Cake- A buttery, rich pound cake scent with a hint of caramel.  I really love this one, so if you want a pain pound cake, I would go with this one.  (5/5)
Apple Mint Jelly- The mint overtakes and the apple gives it an undertone of "meh."  It's okay, I would not repurchase this.  (2/5)
Caramelized Lemons- This should be called caramelized fruit loops.  This frustrates me, I always smell fruit loops instead of citrus in scents like this.  (4/5)
Cranberry- This smells like cough medicine.  I hate to say this, but I can't do this one.  It's not unbearable, I just don't like it. (1.5/5)
Caramelized Apples- It just smells like the caramel from Caramelized Pralines.  (4/5)
Pumpkin Apples- This smells like CBV Pumpkin Cider.  I wonder if it is the same oil?  (4/5)
Pink Pumpkin- I smell the Pink and the spice.  It is really nice.  (3.5/5)
Blueberry Buttermilk Pancakes- Smells the same as Blueberry Cheesecake, but replace the cheesecake with pancake.  (4/5)
Cinnamon Apple Marshmallows- Smells just like the name.  I really like this one.  (4/5)
Pumpkin Crunch Cookies- It;s in the warmer right now,so I'll save the warm review for later.  On cold, it smells like Pumpkin Cookies with whipped cream.  I like this one better. (4.5/5)
Pink Sugar- Smells like sweet raspberry with extra sugary sweetness.  (4/5)
Pink Mousse- A very creamy berry with extra sweetness from the Pink.  (3.5/5)
Pink Berry- I don't why she calls this a berry scent and the description says pear.  It is a strong pear with a sweeter undertone.  (5/5)
Pinkened Pomegranate- Smells like the Pink Mousse scent.  I don't know why.  (3.5/5)
Pink Vanilla Berry Cobbler- Smells like the name implies.  It is a berry enhanced pink with a pie crust.  (4/5)
Gingersnap- I can't really describe this one and don't want to give it another sniff.  I don't like this one.  (2/5)
Pink Marshmallows- I get a pink with a cream note.  (4/5)
Wildberry Mousse- True berries and whipped cream.  (5/5)
