After melting quite a bit of Sassy Girl Aroma recently and being quite pleased with them, I decided it was time for me to place my first order. I was bee-bopping around a general wax Facebook group and saw that Sassy Girl was restocked and open so I headed over to the site and tried placing an order. It was difficult going with lots of errors and slow loading but eventually I had a few items that I wanted and I checked out. After checking out I got another error so I decided I better head over to the Sassy Girl Aroma Facebook group to see if there was any news. Boy howdy was there. I read it was Julie's first opening on a brand new website (which explained the errors) and I read that lots of waxies were extremely upset and calling for refunds for all those who ordered. Apparently it was announced that everyone was to stay off the new website. At this point I was assuming my order either did not go through or that if it did I was going to be refunded for not following directions that I was not even aware of at the time. Thankfully, Julie decided to go ahead and honor the orders placed, and thus my very first Sassy Girl Aroma arrived shortly after.
I am happy she was thoughtful of those who don't always read Facebook vendor group pages. If I had been refunded I would have been mighty disappointed for a first time ordering experience, and it may have colored my whole perception of SGA. Thankfully that did not happen and I have some great wax to showcase today.
I bought two bakery bags and a large chunk pie and was gifted a free sample. This was all packaged securely.
Butter Brickle Caramel Ice Cream Scoop Bread had to come home with me. I have been craving ICSB and butter brickle lately. The bakery bags hold about 9 ounces of wax and cost $9.95. This smells mostly creamy and thick like vanilla butter fudge and the butter brickle does not have a harsh bite, it smells more like creamy butterscotch. The throw was about a medium in my kitchen and living area.
Watermelon Blonde Moment Cotton Candy for the upcoming days of spring and summer. The fizzy raspberry bubbles compliment the watermelon while the cotton candy sweeten and smooth out some of the effervescence. A light-hearted and energetic scent.
The large pie is scented in Pink Sugar Hello Lover Coconut Cream Pie and sounded like pure heaven. I believe Hello Lover has lemon, sugar cane and shortbread in it. The large pie weighed one pound and 12 ounces and cost $30.95. Lemon coconut cookies is mostly was I get from this and that is just fine by me. The throw was a solid medium-strong in my kitchen and living area.
My free sample in Scratch Cake smells delish. Like almond pastry with a teeny touch of spice.
I hope the new website works out for Julie and I am glad I got a chance to place my first order. I heard a similar thing happened with Kirby at Vintage Chic Scents. I do wish people would be a bit more understanding of these women trying to do business and testing out new platforms. They can test on their own all they want but when the rubber meets the road and hundreds of people are vying for wax, kinks will arise. I am happy with my Sassy Girl Aroma order and plan on ordering again in the future. Do you have any Sassy Girl favorites?
I'm glad Julie was able to handle that opening with grace. It can't be fun for anyone involved when an opening goes as bad as it sounds here. It sounds just like the VCS opening, like you said. While reading the group page kept thinking "can't you be more understanding?" and "it's just wax!"
ReplyDeleteWatermelon Blonde Moment Cotton Candy sounds delicious! Perfect for the coming warmer months!
For some reason I've never ordered from SGA before. I think they came into the scene after I had taken a break from the wax world 2.5 years ago. It's only been the past few months that I've really taken a look at trying out a bunch of new vendors. Before December my only wax order in 2015 was from CFTKR in March! The past two months? I have 4 under my belt, one upcoming (Glitterati), and several in the works, including RG and CLK. Eep! I shall add this vendor to my list!
She did it beautifully. I was just so appalled at the comments. I had many of the same thoughts as you did.
DeleteThe watermelon blend is going to be amazing come summertime. I have a feeling my girls will be sneaking pieces of this one.
SGA is open right now from the last time I peeked. I almost bought her Fall Yoga Pants blend of PPW, Cider Lane and Marshmallow Fireside even though fall is long gone. I would totally save it for later this year. You have a ton of great wax headed your way! I don't think my Glitterati mystery box will come for a long time yet.
Yup, she opened up again and I couldn't help picking up a few things. I would say I'm done, but I'm still heavily contemplating placing an order from RG on the Valentine's Day sale!
DeleteGlad everything worked out and you got your order! The scents all sound pretty good!
ReplyDeleteThanks! It was a struggle but in the end I won! Yay!
Deletei recently ordered from SGA as well after a break. Although everything I had ever ordered from her smelled awesome on cold, I had performance issues on a lot of the bakery blends especially. I decided to give her another try with more fruity and fresh scents this time. Things aren't cured yet so we'll have to see but again, it all smells strong and good on cold. I did melt American Cream and that was strong but gave me a headache so I think that scent isn't for me in general. But good performance so *crossing fingers* that the other items come through as well :)
ReplyDeleteHope your second order works out as far as throw! So far the Hello Lover blend is best. I love American Cream but I can see how it's powdery-floral musk notes would be hard for some headache-wise. I am enjoying what I got but not sure how frequent I would order yet.
