What better way to welcome in the New Year than with a new Melt Crowd box? This month marks 18 months as a subscriber for me, and personally I can't quite believe it. Thats 144 wax melts (serious dedication on my part, or obsession really), not counting the extra melts included in odd boxes to mark special occasions or anniversaries. There's been delicious mouthwatering melts like the 'Bah! Humbug' melt of November 2015, where for a moment I considered if said melt was edible, and melts that just haven't hit the spot for me (a la the 'Christmas Pudding' melt from the December 2015 box). This months box though? Well lets just say it's a dream come true.
'Dewberry' Scent Melt - A nice, bold and fruity melt, 'Dewberry' is one of those melts that could instantly perk up any room. It's not too overpowering or strong like previous fruit-based melts I've encountered before, and it's one of my favourites of this months box for sure.
'Coconut & Raspberry' Scent Melt - Out of all the things I hate, coconut has to be up there as 100% one of the worst. I'm not sure what it is about it, be it taste, consistency etc, but I've never been able to get on with it, and when I saw it as an ingredient to this melt I did a little double take. Thankfully though it's not too noticeable in this melt, and it works well with the raspberry to create a unique scent.
'Orange & Blackcurrant' Scent Melt - There seems to be a running theme with fruity melts this month, and out of them I have to say this melt is my favourite. It's quite a strong scent at first and very mouthwatering, but the orange and blackcurrant work well together to create a fragrance thats hard to forget.
'Clean Cotton' Scent Melt - I'm sure this melt has been featured before, but you can never have too many cotton scented melts right? It's a beautiful and fresh scent, like when you put fresh sheets on your bed or replace the towels in your bathroom with clean ones.
'Unicorn Dreams' Scent Melt - Oh my, where has this melt been all my life?! I honestly think I've fallen head over heels in love! Any Lushie out there who loves the smell of their 'Unicorn Horn' bubble bar, but is saddened by its limited release, can finally rejoice, as this melt perfectly captures that fragrance. Honestly, it smells magnificent, and I have to give Flamingo Candles props here because this is hands down my favourite melt EVER. BRB, just off to buy the candle version ASAP.
'Jasmine & Lime' Scent Melt - I'm still undecided on this melt as there's just something about it thats quite familiar that I can't quite place. It has a musky kind of air to it thanks to the jasmine, and the lime isn't really that noticeable to me. Altogether I'd say it's one of the milder melts of the box, and it gets drowned out by the other more dominating scents really.
'Blueberry Cheesecake' Scent Melt - Okay first of all, who doesn't like cheesecake?! It has to be one of my favourite deserts ever, especially when it comes to strawberry flavour. Blueberry is definitely a close second though, and I can't believe how perfectly this melt captures its scent. It's nice and sweet and you can slightly detect the base in there, and if you're as obsessed with cheesecake as I am, then you will love this melt.
'Pomegranate Cider' Scent Melt - Now as I'm not a big drinker, I can't tell you if this melt is true to it's name or not...but what I can tell you is it smells sweet and wonderful. I've long loved pomegranates thanks to my Dad, and I always love finding products containing it as it's one of those lesser known fruits that rarely gets used (unlike say strawberry). To me this melt smells slightly more bitter than pomegranate, but it still holds its own appeal - its kind of similar to the 'Orange & Blackcurrant' melt with its strong scent.
'Créme Brulee' Scent Melt - Ah Creme Brûlée, how I love you. This isn't the first time I've had this melt, and I actually think its around the 3rd or 4th time now, but I'm never going to turn down an extra opportunity to have this baby in my stash. This was an extra melt to mark my 18 months with The Melt Crowd, and it's a scent I'll never get tired of. Gentle and warming, Creme Brûlée is sure to warm up any room with its sweet and alluring aroma.
Altogether the 'Be Happy' box is the perfect box for seeing in 2017 with its collection of fun and delicious melts. There's quite a mix of different scents too, so there's bound to be something for everyone and anyone in this box. Another great box from Flamingo Candles! Are you a Melt Crowd subscriber?
