Review of Pink Zebra Sprinkles


"Sprinkles are a soy based wax that are that are blended with high quality fragrance oils at super concentrated levels to deliver up to 50% MORE fragrance & last longer than other products on the market. They are small in size them easy to mix with each other to make your own fragrance recipe, as well as make a candle out of them – or use them in a warmer.
They are eco-friendly, non-toxic, & does not emit carcinogens when being warmed." - Shauna

For more info go to:

These wax bits are super strong and fill a whole room within minutes of being warmed.

In this picture below I just used my candle warmer and an empty Bath & Body Works jar to melt my sprinkles, but it's suggested to melt them on a wax warmer or Pink Zebra simmer pots (last pic at the bottom).


#1: Honeysuckle Hugs - smells just like fresh honeysuckles.
#2: Mixture of Honeysuckle Hugs, Sweet Pea&Lily, Fresh Raspberry,
and Grape Popsicle scents- smells mostly like a real grape Popsicle.

Review of Bath and Body Works Pineapple Palm Grass Candle 2014

Pineapple Palm Grass: A fresh tropical fragrance inspired by the beautiful pineapple fields and exotic green foliage of the Hawaiian Islands

3-wick candle

This candle smells like fresh cut pineapple or fresh pineapple juice on cold throw. While burning I  also get a  toasted coconut scent mixed in, which is awesome, because it makes it more tropical.


1st day and 2nd day burns: The wax  evenly pooled in less than 50 minutes but it still had  no scent throw. I could only start to smell it after nearly 2 hours, but it was light and barely there. However, it did get stronger after the 2 hours.

3rd day: I had it burning in my bedrrom today to see if it would perform better in a smaller room. I went to check on it after 30 minutes and the scent had started to kick in, but it was still light. The wax evenly pooled after an hour. After 3 hours of burning that day, it really surprised me, it had filled up my whole bedroom and going forward it kept getting stronger.



Review of Bath and Body Works Lavender Vanilla Candle 2014

Lavender Vanilla: An unforgettable fragrance! You'll love this blend of timeless lavender and creamy vanilla, with touches of cedarwood, delicate jasmine and citrus.

3-wick candle

Really great candle! I love the scent and the wax would always evenly pools in less than an hour. 

I've burned it for three times so far. On the first two days that I burned it, it was not that strong, but that all changed by the third day. On the third day It filled up almost my whole living room after 2 hours of being lit.

I could really smell that great lavender scent paired with a hint of creaminess, which was probably the vanilla I was smelling.

Review of Bath and Body Works Espresso Bar Candle 2014

Espresso Bar: Stop and savor the aromas of roasted espresso beans and sweet vanilla froth like the Italians, who never take their coffee “to go.”

This candle is part of the Italian collection. 

I would definitely recommend purchasing this candle, especially of your a coffee lover. It has a really authentic coffee bean scent but it smells more like a mocha, because of that added vanilla note. I've burned it about 4 times so far and it's performed well each, and every time. It always had high flames and a scent throw so strong that it would linger up to my second floor. I left it sitting with no lid on my table one day, not even lit, and I could still smell it so strongly around that area.
