My Super Bowl order came yesterday! Just in time for me to call it a Valentine's Day present I need to do a cold sniff review of my early Jan order and off course this one too. I want to show off the reed diffuser I am so excited to finally have ordered. The scent is Sea Kelp and I will be putting it in the kids/guest bathroom. The first time I melted this scent I knew it was the perfect scent for the reeds and for the bathroom. Click the picture to see a larger view I have been using the tinted lip balm and the color is light but I didn't expect it to be anything more than a hint of color. Since I don't wear lipstick hardly ever and have been using Melissa's lip balms everyday since Christmas, the tinted lip balms are PERFECT for me. The two different tints I chose are Diva Red and Red Hot Momma. Diva Red is the lightest of the two and is more of a peachy color. Red Hot Momma gives my lips a nice noticeable bright pink color. Even though I don't feel like pink is my best color, this color looks nice on me and I couldn't be more pleased. Stand outs from this order Birds Of Paradise, Bedtime Bath (Type), Pazazzy, Givenchy's Hot Couture (Type), and Dragonfruit. From early January order Hell On Heels and Bombshell are sticking out in my mind right now. My latest candle that I have been daydreaming about is the green Barrel Candle.

Oh Lisa you have to tell me how good the reed diffusers work. I have thought about them for a long time. I have a Snow White little diffuser with some reeds but no fragrance oil. I wonder if I could just buy the refresher oils and use those with my reeds or if they are different oils used? One for the bathroom is a good idea since I don't melt in there so it would be good to have a constant scent.
Thanks for letting us know about the lip tints. Are the colors build able you think? Some days I like little coverage but some days I need more.
Birds Of Paradise smells like strawberries and cream hard candies. Does yours smell like that too? And Pazazzy just has a drawing appeal but never makes my lists. What do you think of it? Worth a spring or summer order?
The Barrel candles are so pretty! And they are a lot bigger than what I initial thought they would be looking at the website photos and then comparing them to videos.

I will definitely let you know about the reed diffuser. I have yet to get it set up yet but I am hoping to do so today. I absolutely do think the refresher oils are the same. The reed diffuser says it comes with 4oz of oil an the reeds are 12 inches long. The bottle is pretty big. The largest size of refresher oil is 3oz for $13 almost half the price of the diffuser. I bet you could find reeds at Walmart near the incense.
With the lip tints I found Red Hot Momma to get darker with a double application. I will be repurchasing both lip balms and lip tints. They seem to last a long time so I'm sure my desire to order more will come before my need.
Strawberries and cream hard candy is an excellent description for Birds Of Paradise. It smells like strawberries and cream but not really like fresh strawberries and cream but sweeter and creamier.
The barrels are HUGE! I saw a pic probably on FB next to another candle and that is when I realized how big they really are. The pillars are also HUGE!

The reed diffuser is all set up in the guest/kids bathroom. It is on the counter close to the door and you can actually smell it in the hallway even with the door closed. It is not overly strong or anything it just a pretty good throw. I am super happy with the scent and it does an amazing job scenting up that small space. It looks really pretty on the counter too. I don't think I will get tired of this scent however I do like to switch things up every now and then. I have heard the reeds last a REALLY long time. Other scents that I considered getting in the reeds for the same purpose are Badedas and English Ivy. Because I wanted the reeds for the bathroom I wanted a somewhat clean scent. Enchanted Apple smells like apple shampoo to me and might be a good fruity clean for the bathroom.
I realized I never answered you about Pazazzy. The lemon lime in this scent also makes it smell a little fizzy even though there isn't any effervescence to it. I can't say that I totally get Pina Colada on cold sniff but I do pick up fruit. The lemon lime and fruit notes make this smell like a summer drink.

Thanks for the reviews Lisa! Now I'm even more itching to try them. I think I might try the refresher oils first in my reed diffuser that I have and hope that that works, but it is probably going to have to wait a bit. Right now I am so torn on where to spend my money. I wanna save for some things but at the same time I'm invested in decorating the house as well as I wanna try all the new scents! What's a girl to do? I need more money lol but isn't that the story of almost everyone's life?
