Zeep Bath Mystery Box Un-Boxing

Zeep Bath’s wax has been on my radar for quite awhile now with all its hype and attention it has been receiving over the past several months. After missing out on the wax only restock and many previous failed attempts to purchase wax before, I was even more determined to get my hands on at least a mystery box to try a few of this vendors scents.

Than it happened. A day after the sale, Ashley had posted 11 more mystery boxes that she made and luckily I was able to snag one! 10 oz for $11 plus $4.50 shipping. Very reasonable with great shipping prices!

 

 

Ferris Wheel: Kettle Corn and Salt Water Taffy 6.5 oz

First melt I was able to smell upon opening the box. Popcorn/kettle corn is not my favorite thing in wax form. So I was a little hesitant when finding this in my box and in such a large quantity. First sniff it’s not as bad as I had feared though the popcorn is of course the most dominate. I’m hopeful that I will be able to melt this as the salt water taffy helps to mellow out the kettle corn making this into a scent that will be perfect as a transitioning melt into fall. As for now I mostly get popcorn on cold. I’ll give you guys an update as I melt!

 

Run Jungle: Tropical Fruits, Coconut, Rum and Toes in Your Sand.

Whew wee! Tropical! Grab your coconut bra and grass skirt we are going to a luau! Hand squeezed pineapple juice and coconut water blend together with a boozy undertone to create this mouth watering summer drink fragrance. Boy does this make me thirsty.

 

 

Beach Towels: Fresh Towels, Coconut & Lemongrass. 3.7-4.2 oz

Strong on the lemongrass and full of citrus and vibrant to awaken the senses yet kept at bay by the fluffy cotton towels to pull this back into a calming, relaxing aroma. So good!! I can’t wait to melt this one on account of its freshness and how it makes me just want to roll around in it and smell like beachy clean clothes.

 

The picture doesn’t show just how big this chunk really is. I’ve done a side by side comparison here with a Rose Girls chunk so that you can see the difference. Though I still do not think you are getting the full effect of how big this chunk really is.

 

 

Overall Mr. Meltdown & myself,  (As he as also stamped his approval on this box and loved every scent so far!) are very impressed with my first order/mystery box from Zeep and would love to snag one or two in the next restock! After some cure time I will be back with some melted reviews. If there are any you would like me to go into further detail please let me know!

 

Did you order anything this past restock? What are some of your favorite Zeep blends?

 

Until Next Restock,

 

Wonderberry Carnival Night Mini Sampler

Wonderberry Carnival Night Mini Sampler

I received my Wonderberry Carnival Night mini sampler in the mail and wanted to share what was inside with you! This sampler looked amazing on the site because each one seemed like great transitioning scents as the weather changes from Summer to Fall and that it would be a fun group of scents to have together in a set! So let’s dive in and see what’s inside:

 

Side Note: As a reviewer I really appreciated the scent descriptions card/print-out that was included in the sampler so that I didn’t have to shuffle back and forth on the site and Instagram to find all of the scent notes. After restocks some vendors won’t always have scent descriptions available for easy viewing so this made it simple when it came time to sit down and get a post ready for you guys and already have what I needed. Thumbs up!

 

*Below are opinions based on cold throw*

 

• Caramel Kettle Corn– “Sweet and salty kettle corn with a sticky caramel glaze.”

Whew. This is rich. The caramel drizzled on top of the sweet kettle popped popcorn. Yum! The kettle corn is  the strongest note in this melt.

 

• Cotton Candy Supreme– “Cotton candy, cotton candy frosting and marshmallows topped with whipped cream.”

I mostly get marshmallows and whipped cream with this one with a slight pink sugar frosting undertone. Light and fluffy like pink sugar cotton candy clouds!

 

 

• Ultimate Candy Apples– “Crunchy green apples dipped in caramel and white chocolate and rolled in toffee bits”

Yummm.. Juicy green apples are the first note I detect with undertones of a burnt caramel smell which may be a scent blend of the caramel and toffee.This is wonderful!!

 

• Vanilla Glazed Soft Pretzel-“A fluffy, fresh homemade pretzel dipped in a rich vanilla glaze.”

The vanilla in this to me almost smells like a perfume. Of course it isn’t a bad scent it just isn’t a creamy vanilla I’m used to, Almost like a vanilla bean noel. I’m not sure I pick up on a pretzel note on cold so we will see how it is on warm.

 

 

• Wild Cherry Snow Cone- “Sweet, frozen strawberry-Cherry Slush”

Ahh yes.. refreshing this one is! This one is probably my favorite out of the group of scents. The description says strawberry.. But it smells to me of a dark cherry syrup you would find on your snow cone or slushie at the state fair on a hot summer day!  The cherry note is so tart and strong it gives a bit of a burn to the back of your throat if you deeply inhale so beware.

 

• Wold’s Best Funnel Cake- Classic cripsy, warm fried dough covered in powdered sugar

Very rich, vanilla sugar milk scent. I’ve always been curious about funnel cake wax and this will be my first, so we will see how it preforms on warm!
