Flamingo Candles | 1 Year Birthday
Another month means another subscription box enters my door, this month (May Box) is that little bit more special. The melt crowd subscription has been launched and live for one whole year, HAPPY BIRTHDAY GUYS! I am so proud and happy for them, I've been subscribed for 11 months now, I share the subscription with my mum (the order is actually in her name, but I end up paying some towards it throughout the month) we get to share the scents together since we still live together, so a huge thank you to my mum for keeping this going too!
So whats special about this month? Well of course because its the melts crowd 1 year birthday, but if you ordered and kept your subscription for 12 months you would of received a full size birthday jar! Which is beyond generous so congratulations to everyone who received that! As a melt crowd subscriber we all received a free melt "Birthday Cake" which even that, I think is beyond kind and generous.
1. Birthday Cake - "Special Birthday Gift"
This melt scent is very 'light' and isn't too over-powerful, it's innocent but sweet scent. It's very similar to fresh sugary icing, or like a sweet vanilla sponge mix powder. It's very tasty smelling and not too strong (which is a great alternative to the CIRCUS collection if you find they are too strong scented for you!).
2. May Carnival ;
First off I instantly fell in love with this melt when I seen a preview pop up on Flamingo Candles Instagram, purely because its wrapped in the best colour ever right? The scent itself is very light and sweet reminding me of some sort of sugar powder, it's almost similar to a raspberry candy floss which isn't too sickly or over "sugary". I personally love the scent, and is a favorite in this months box!
3. Banana ;
WOW! Words can describe my love for this melt, it's my favorite in this months box and possibly an all round favorite! I can't seem to figure out if its an exclusive or preview (as the card didn't say), but I really do hope it's a preview otherwise I may have to beg Flamingo Candles to re-launch this. The scent is packed full of a sweet sugary BANANA scent, honestly it really does smell like 'banana and shrimp sweets' you can buy. In-fact it's exactly how the banana sweets smell like, plus the scent is strong you instantly can pick it up and when I opened this months box it was the first thing I could smell!
4. Wild Bluebell ;
This scent is more of a fresh clean almost like a water oriented smell. It reminds me of an outdoor waterfall or fresh picking fruit gardens, with a very light and small hint of blueberry (only very slightly). This melt isn't too strong either and has a very relaxing impact to it.
5. Coconut Lemograss ;
This is another melt I have fallen in love with, its a sugary sweet coconut scent with almost a buttery twist of sweet lemon mixed among. The scent is rather uplifting, and very instant to smell out with the first scent I get being coconut (which is one of a favorite scents for me)!
6. Cola Jellies ;
As with any sugary, sweet scents I always fall in love, with this product it's very "cola" oriented reminding me instantly of the Cola Bottle jelly sweets you can buy. Honestly, this is another melt I hope is a preview so I can get a supply of them.
7. Clean Cotton ;
I'm almost 100% positive I've used this product before, and is a love of mine. It's a fresh clean scent that's fairly strong almost reminding me of freshly washed clothes.
8. Wild Lemon Alcopop - £2 Click to view online here.
This scent is more of a strong smell, you instantly can smell the power of a fresh but sweet lime but has a twist of clean fruit. Very much like a small hint of grapefruit inside, plus as always with the WILD collection - I love the funky 90's packaging!
9. Fresh Aloe - £2 Click to view online here.
Now I'm pretty sure we've had this melt previously in another box (but I may be wrong!), the scent is very fresh and outdoor like. Packed with a floral scent of lilies and reminds me of the warm summer air (which gets me very excited for the hot weather due to arrive).
Overall, I am in love with all the melts in this months box especially the birthday cake, banana and cola jellies! One thing I struggled with was identifying which are preview and which are exclusive as the card didn't have it written down this time (if you know be sure to let me know in the comments or on my Twitter/Instagram). I really hope some of these scents arrive to the website soon because they are so perfect, and of course HAPPY BIRTHDAY melt crowd! It's been an honor to be subscribed and I will defiantly keep the subscription up for all the time to come. X
