This is not a drill. I repeat this is NOT a drill! Lol there really is a sale tomorrow until Monday it will be a 20% off of $50 dollars kind. (for those that hate math that's $10 off making it $40 before shipping and handling)With the addition of 33 new scents it couldn't have come at a better time. Jenn posted the new scents in my previous June Scents thread but here is the newsletter which will explain more about the sale and some new products such as a facial moisturizer, body oils, and muffin melts. Get your carts started now ladies! www.candlesbyvictoria.com/c/blog/article&article_id=18

Oh, and don't forget there is a new formulation with scent shots! Quicker cure time and easier melts for a variety of burners. Yahoo!

I haven't ordered since the January sale. But after getting the newsletter about the sale and new scents. I decided to place an order. I, ordered about 12 scent shots. About half of them are from the new June scents. I also ordered the crumb melts, two solid perfumes and another cocoa butter shot. I think that was everything.
Once I placed the order. There was a couple things I wish I would of added. Such as a room spray and more crumb melts. So I just put them in my cart for next time.

Spanish Sunrise would be such a good scent for a perfume! I absolutely love that scent!
I took part in this sale but I got mostly bath and body products. This is one of my bigger orders
16 oz Apothecary candles: Apple Vanilla 16 oz Hurricane Candle: The Bubbles Make Me Loopy 16 oz Squatty Mason Jar: Apples & Oaks 8 oz Surprise Candle
8 oz Fizzy Bath Salts: 7 Up Pound Cake 7th Heaven Almond Pastry
Bath Bombs Aloha Angel's Whisper Apple Martini Apple Raspberry Crumble Apple Vanilla
I finally have a bathtub again so I can proceed with the baths!!! :DDDD I also got different candle containers because I wanted to see which is my favorite container from all of the containers that Victoria offers. So far my favorite container I've tried has to be the Coffee Cups (not the cuties). My least favorite are the bowls that the comfort candles come in. It just creates way too much smoke for me.

Wow such great orders! Makes me want to order even more lol *The Beatles while my guitar gently weeps plays* I can already hear my wallet gently weeping in my purse. I've spent a lot more than usual on clothes and CBV in the past two weeks lol. Poor thing has lost so much weight. Jenn I'm so happy your new place has a bath tub! You can finally enjoy all the bath products in full now. You make me so curious about the surprise candles, I think they might be fun, but I'm so ocd that not knowing a certain scent would drive me crazy. Maybe if someday I ever get to the point where I've smelt all of CBV's fragrances I will pluck up the courage to try a surprise candle. Lisa, the muffin melts and slice some pies look so cute. Would you please let me know exactly how big the muffin melts are? They look a little small in the picture. Could you also let us know how your mother likes the facial moisturizer when she tries it? It looks good, but I have sensitive skin and so have to be careful what I put on it. I thought of you Lisa when I saw Minty Twist. I wanted it but decided to hold off until closer to Christmas so I can melt my minty scents with the season. I'm glad to see you got it because I know you are a mint lover. I have been suffering from ISHOT disease. (I should have ordered that) disease is where you place your order then realize there was a scent or something you really wanted but forgot completely all about and now it is too late. Mine was triggered by Fluffy Pink Candy. I remembered Stress Relief (thanks to Lisa) but I overlooked that one and Tropical Soda Pop. I also have been wanting a coffee cup candle but always hold back for some reason. Anybody else currently suffering from ISHOT disease?

ISHOT disease LOL! The sad thing is that I have suffered from that disease more than once so I don't think there is a cure The Muffin Melts are suppose to be 4oz. At $4.25 that is more than 2 Scent Shots $4 (for 2) and less than the Mini Jelly Jar which is $5. I intend to place the Muffin Melt directly on the warming plate. It should take me quite a few melts to use up 4oz of scented wax. I picked the scent Geisha because I want to smell it when I clean. Geisha has great throw in my opinion as well. I almost didn't order Minty Twist because I have so many mint scents but is my love for minty scents that made it so irresistible. I keep thinking of melting Peppermint Bark again. I really enjoyed it and it has been a long time since I have melted it.

That's too cute, ISHOT disease! I really hemmed and hawed over this order. Partially because I still have two more scents to try out in my previous order.
Scent shots: Blackbird Pie Blue Raspberries Carmen Miranda Fairy Garden Frankincense & Myrrh Fruit Salad Honeysuckle Fruit Flower Mahogany Spice Minty Twist Sharin A Sleepin Bag Strawberries & Champagne Strawberry Milk Tayberry & Teakwood Treasure Island White Chocolate Raspberry Cookie White Sage
4 oz. jars: Dreamsickle Lemon Vanilla Let It Snow Mango Sorbett Watercress and Aloe Whispering Winds
9oz. country jar: Breath of Ireland - repurchase!
I'm really looking forward to what everyone's reviews are with these new scents.

Lisa, I'm afraid the only cure for ISHOT disease is lots of therapy...of the retail kind. And Peppermint Bark is soo good. Is it sad that after this order I'm planning to either order Christmas or fall type scents? I have been slowing down on my ordering because I have so much wax and I haven't been melting as consistently as before so I have a lot of wax building up in my stashes. So I figured the next one I will just stock up on fall and Christmas type scents so now I'm going through and debating what to re-order and what new to try.
Hanna, You got a lot of great scents in there. Frankincense & Myrrh I really really like, but I can see how it isn't for everyone so I hope you like it too. Blue Raspberries smell just like blue raspberry candies or suckers. Mango Sorbett is really good too though sometimes it can take some cure time to get the right amount of sweetness so if it doesn't smell sweet enough to you let it cure for a while. Let It Snow and Dreamsickle are two scents I'm really curious about. Will you tell what you think of them and White Chocolate Raspberry Cookie?

But you have spoiled me enough when you were my secret santa. You are so generous, but maybe you should save them and sometime in the future we might be able to do a candle swap. Maybe individually or maybe like a round robin. I guess it would depend on how many candles everyone had or was willing to swap. Oh no now you got me thinking...

I just received my order. It wasn't suppose to get here till Monday. But I decided to check the tracker, anyway. So far I like most of them. However, there are two I'm on the fence about. Here's what I got:
Scent Shots:
Sugar Daddy: My fav so far. Chantilly Lace: Not bad for a floral scent. Mango Sorbett Pink Noel: Re-purchase Passionate Kisses: It's one of my favorite scents by VS. Peanut Butter Popcorn Ball Pink Sugar Pina Colada: I smell more of the Pina Colada than the Pink Sugar. Salted Caramel Banana Blitz Watermelon Taffy: Smells good enough to eat. Whoopie Pie Banana Foster: Didn't receive. Vanilla Kiss: One of the scents I'm on the fence about. Southern Nights (freebie):Second scent I'm on the fence about. I'm not a big floral person.
8oz Crumb Melts:
Blue Sugar Cotton Candy
Solid Perfume:
Blue Sugar Cotton Candy Tiffany D: Didn't receive

You got a lot of great stuff heyluv, it is a shame some things were missing though. I'm really liking Watermelon Taffy. I have Banana Foster and it smells really really yummy so I think you will like it when you receive it.
