The Kissing Booth - First Impressions

Someone once said that if you start playing around with wax it'll be like an addiction.  I gave them the dreaded side-eye but now have to admit that - yeah - they were right.  I mean, I always melted candles and loads of them but it wasn't until recently that I entered the world of wick less, deliciously scented nirvana.

I did a review about Tiffany's and now I have returned and this time with a vendor that I am so excited about!

Her name is Kelsey and she runs The Kissing Booth which is a website that sells just wax and wax so cute you won't want to melt it!  Her website is as follows:

www.Kissingboothshop.com

I received this order three weeks after I placed it which, considering the amount of time I imagine it takes her to pour her stuff, is very reasonable.  She is also very nice and understanding of my mistake with PayPal (a system I normally don't use since I'm a VISA only type of gal).  From the research I have done thus far it seems that I am going to have to let these cure several weeks before using them (although I didn't realize that and melted a square earlier but I'll get to that in a bit).  Anyway I will update with my thoughts after I start trying everything but for now I'm just going to ramble on about this vendor because I'm so excited.  :)

Her clam shells are reasonable.  They run about 3.25 pack which is less than Scentsy but more than the store brands.  I would say over all so far I think it's a good deal.  They smell amazing they look out of this world pretty and since she makes them I would imagine it would cost a bit on her end.

She sells them individually but you can get bundles - which is what I did to start.  I got her ten pack bundle and what follows are my initial impressions and photos.  Though I've found that most vendors make an effort in how their product looks Kelsey has really gone above and beyond on her presentation - pictures are more than necessary in some cases.  

So anyway, I'm gonna start...whee!!!!

My initial order!

Like I already mentioned, customer service was great and the product arrived several weeks after I ordered it.  Kelsey even included a sample which was great.  I got the ten pack bundle and I didn't know if I was going to love all the scents or not but I went with what I knew I might like - and really apart from one scent everything else was spot on and I am excited to try them all! 

Sweet Dreams - This is her version of Pink Peppermint.  I ordered this to try it because I forgot to add it to my Tiffany order a couple of months ago and I had wanted to try it because I love mint scents and am realizing that I might love Pink Sugar.  Anyway, this is a hot pink color with shaved glitter on top - very cute looking.  And it smells amazing!  I cannot wait to try this scent from every vendor I try and compare it!

Stefon

Stefon is just one example of how pretty Kelsey's wax really is.  The scent has a long description but upon sniffing it I get an initial fruit scent like cherries or oranges or something like that - maybe even strawberries.  There is a musky undertone to it as well.  It actually smells like fruit slices, vanilla, musk and cologne.  It reminds me of a day in the city, eating a fruit popsicle while standing next to a man you don't know but wish you did because he smells so good.  Seriously.

After Church: The Grownups is so delicious!  This is a cinnamon crumb cake scent.  It actually looks like a mini cake: the squares are brown and the top layer is white with what looks like cinnamon on top.  Well, it smells like real cinnamon but I don't know if it actually is.  The most prominent notes in this are cake, cinnamon and a hint of coffee.  On cold sniff it actually smells like you're sitting next to a cup of coffee and your favorite along side coffee treat.  I am looking forward to melting this to see if there are any other notes to this.  

Twenty-Four is her birthday cake scent.  (Incidentally I am so tickled by the names she gives her scents!  Each one is unique and I love it!)  It has yellow squares and a pink "frosted" topping with an adorable cupcake wax decal.  So cute.  It really does smell like a good, solid cake and frosting scent.  Delicious!

Christopher Street is Kelsey's Fruit Loops scent.  I love this scent from Tiffany's as well so I knew it would be a no-brainer for me.  I am not sure if this is supposed to have any other notes to it but I will find out when I melt it.  The best part about this?  The photos - she took a good bit of time pouring each of those colored squares and the glitter is so pretty! 

After Church: The Little Ones is the second offering in her 'after church' scents.  I actually think I like Grownups better even though I didn't think I would have.  Like the other after church scent it is sprinkled with colored jimmies and I am half tempted to try one to see if it s real!  The wax is brown with a pink topping and the sprinkles - very cute!  It smells delicious - like a cream fruit punch with a bit of cookie.  :)

Jolly Pirates is the one scent I mentioned before that  I am not sure about.  I loved the description!  It is pina colada and grenadine and I love both when I am drinking!  I thought this was a sure bet but upon cold sniff I get nothing but the grenadine and I really, really wanted that coconut scent!  I am hoping that when I melt it I change my mind.  It'll be the first I go for after the wax is done curing.

Huckleberry Milkshake smells mostly like a fruit-based cream scent - I actually get a lot of cream from this on cold sniff. This scent is unique to the Kissing Booth.  It is delicious - like I already mentioned it smells like a rich vanilla with hints of fruit.  I don't know what a huckleberry smells like but I'm going to trust Kelsey on that one.

Tough Cookie - my favorite cookie scent yet!

Tough Cookie is a scent I wasn't sure about ordering as I have issues with cookie scents.  Most of the time I don't like my house to smell like baked goods but I do like to try different things.  This is a sugar cookie scent but not JUST that!  It smells like sugary, buttery goodness with LEMON!  I haven't smelled anything like it before - it is so far my favorite cookie scent yet!  And it looks so pretty - I LOVE the gold glitter!  I think I am going to love this and cannot wait to melt it to see.

Candy Floss smells just like cotton candy except it has a touch of fruity to it!  I am excited about this and ordered it because I had seen and heard good things about it (although I like sweet, foodie scents I am not sure about something that is sweet overload).  Having sniffed it I am super excited about trying it!  And of course, I love how pretty it looks.  Although they are all so pretty!

Okay, I am totally done now.  I have another two weeks before I can try these so I am going to hold off for a bit longer.  Can't wait though and I am going to do a follow-up soon!
