Long time no blog! Who knew working a full time job and then working weekends would take up so much of my time. But I'm back with a blog post for January Indie Pick Up! What is Indie Pick Up? Think of Polish Pick Up but without the polish - indie make up, hand made items like soap, jewelry, lip balm, lip gloss, top coats, cuticle products, a top coat or base coat and wax! Today I'm sharing Sweet Sage Scents' contribution wax melt.
Let's get to the details!
Inspiration: Gnomes
Scent: Gnome Home
Cap: 50
Price: $5.25
A purchase of Gnome Homes will give you a 6 cube clam shell. The scent notes are birch, ozone, woods, citrus, amber, floral and berries. Cold sniff gave me amber and berries with a touch of floral and woods. Upon melting, I smelled berries and amber predominantly. It melted beautifully the blue shimmered.
And to show you how beautifully it melted, here is a melt video.
Loves: I loved the beautiful melt it created. I love the inspiration.
Wishes: I wish the fruit and citrus shined a little more through the melt process. The amber really took the front stage for me and while I don't mind the scent of amber, I appreciate it more when it's in the audience and not in the spot light. When it's used again, I will mix with a citrus scent - this is what I love about wax, you can do experiments on scents. :)
As a reminder - all Indie Pick Up products can be purchase on their website January 4th - 7th. Everything is pre-order and $3 flat rate shipping. Join their Facebook Group to find out all the details.

I love the variety in Indie Pickup even though I don't use melts.
ReplyDeleteThe melt color is beautiful. The scent sounds interesting. Not something I gravitate towards but lately I’ve been surprising myself!
ReplyDeleteI'm considering getting back into wax melts, I have two cats and I feel like an open flame is just a recipe for disaster
ReplyDeletei wish i could do melts but my cat is bothered by everything lately :(
ReplyDeleteI love the colors of this melt! Not sure about the scent, I am finicky about amber, it can seem very heady to me!
ReplyDeleteId like to try wax melts, but im afraid my sneaky toddler would find a way to get to it and get hurt. I miss having candles burning and the beautiful scents!
ReplyDeleteI'm more a scented candle person, but I would love this kind of fragrance! TBH I prefer amber to take a backseat as well, though I do like the smell.
ReplyDeleteYeah I dont think I'm the biggest on amber being the main event. It tends to give headaches especially if strong.
ReplyDeleteI miss having a warmer!!! I had a name brand that seemed impossible to find bulbs for, I need to get something with more common/easy to get bulbs. This wax sounds amazing!
ReplyDeleteI have a warmer at home and one at work and everyone always compliments me on the smells so I love finding new indies to explore!
ReplyDeleteI love that the color of the wax and the fact that it screams gnome!
ReplyDeleteMy 3 year old just popped over my shoulder and recognized the gnome and has been on repeat. I think this is his way of saying he needs it, lol!
ReplyDeleteI'd be disappointed that the fruits and citrus didn't really come thru. I looooove citrus!
