5th Granny's Kountry Candles haul
Saturday I received my 5th GKC order. I placed it on her "Forget the Foil Friday" event on March 6th and received it on the 25th. That's a 12 day TAT. But that's to be expected with the sale orders Wendy had coming in. I ordered multiples of a lot of my favorite scents as well as a few singles in scents I wanted to try. My husband's younger sister was here when I was sniffing through to order and she hijacked a few tarts. I'll list the amount of tarts in the review and there will be a -1 with scents she claimed. Wanna know what I ordered? Leggo...
Moonlit Path(5-1) -- an amazing dupe of the BBW scent. I switch between using this and Twilight Woods in a shower gel. It is one of my favorites.
A Roll in the Hay(5) -- a mouth watering, delicious, fruity scent. This is one of my husband's favorites. It's very strong and you can almost taste it.
Stress Relief(5) -- spicy herbal lavender with a hint of Vick's style mint. It's one of my favorite bubble bath and bedtime scents.
Bite Me!(5) -- juicy, fruity and delicious. Stronger than A Roll in the Hay, though they are similar. This is one of my top 10 go to scents from GKC. This is also one of my husband's favorites.
Kinky Cougar(5-1) -- a sour sweet fruity scent. Lighter than Bite Me! or A Roll in the Hay. I've been burning a Butterball in this scent for the longest time. Wendy's Butterballs are all but bottomless.
Arkansas River(5) -- floral and aquatic. Very light and clean.
Booty Call(5) -- very cologney and sensual. One of my all time favorites that I confused with Dirty Mind on my last order. I though this scent was called Dirty Mind. Don't ask me why. I cannot stand Dirty Mind and accidentally ordered a clamshell on my last order. Lucky for me my mom loves Dirty Mind.
Bear Bottom(5) -- baby powder and herbal lavender. Very light and pleasant.
Watermelon Bowl(5) -- a sour watermelon scent. Very tart, almost enough to make you pucker up.
Bee's Knees(5-1) -- juicy, fruity with a warm, possibly honey bottom note.
Blueberry Pomegranate(3-1) -- juicy pomegranate and tart blueberry. It almost has a bottom bakery note.
Cherries Jubilee(1) -- delicious cherry. It smells a lot like a cherry lollipop.
Melon Bowl(1) -- I wish I had ordered 5 of these instead of Watermelon Bowl. It smells like a Jolly Rancher. I love it.
Tank Tops and Flip Flops(1) -- I'm not a fan. I smell coconut and I HATE coconut. It smells a lot like a piƱa colada.
Well, that's my order. In total it was 57 tarts and filled half of my individual tart storage drawer. I let them cure for a month and leave a note on top in case I forget or my husband decides to pick scents for the day.
I have one and only one complaint or concern from this order. Every time I shop with GKC I select JDazzler15 as my consultant, her videos were what led me to order from this vendor. It's never failed that I get samples or extras with my order. Sadly on this order I didn't receive anything. All I can assume is that I didn't receive goodies because $10 or my order was paid in gift cards. My order total was $25 and some change with me paying $15 and some change out of pocket. I sound like a whiney bitch. Anywho, I'm going to bed. Hope you enjoy.
Side note: for anyone who has followed my blog, could you kindly please tell me how you did so. Where the button was, etc. thanks in advance.
That's all folks,
Melissa

After reading yesterday's post, I ordered some tarts from Grumpy Girl--it's such a unique site--I just couldn't help it! I'll be honest, GCK is a bit overwhelming--so much to choose from! She's on my list to try :)
ReplyDeleteI found you through someone's follow list but I can't remember whose--I'm sorry. I have acquired quite a few waxy reads --I went through most of them and I couldn't find the link.
It took me a few orders with GKC to really find what I liked. My mom ended up with a lot of the ones I didn't care for. Now I've made a list of the ones I really like and stick to them for the most part. Like with this order I received multiples of a lot of scents and a few singles to test out. At 50-65 cents a piece, they're an economical option. But I definitely have a new found love for GG. I love anything snarky and fun. If you like them on Facebook the fun goes even further.
DeleteThanks for trying help me with the follow button issue. I'm still trying to find a way to fix it.
