Alamo Candelaria: Birthday Gift




A couple bags of wax tarts and a lollipop sampler from Alamo Candelaria were generously gifted to me by my sister Darby recently for my birthday. Giddy with excitement, I eagerly sniffed and sampled the wares. I have not had a beloved Alamo box of goodies in a while. 


As usual, the packaging and presentation remain gorgeous. Alamo, in the past few months, has expanded her wax options from the signature medallions and clamshells to wax crack and various shapes as well. 


Courtesan came in a fleur de lis shape and emits quite a jovial scent. Tart dark berries and sweet flower nectar that blends into a fragrance that I could see Bath & Body Works wanting to bottle. The cranberries, raspberries and black currants shine next to the vanilla and amber laced florals. 


Pixie Cookie Crack smells very much like Lush's Snow Fairy to my nose. Electric pink bubbles of chewing gum bounce along with vanilla sugar cookies and sparkling cotton candy. My daughters will enjoy this in their rooms. 


These lollis. I cannot sing their praises enough. This sampler pack came with three flavors: honey (x2), chai tea (x2) and original (x2). If you are a salty & sweet lover, these will satisfy. I am so glad Kyme decided to start selling these in her shop. 


Thank you so very much Darby for these wonderfully amazing smelly and tasty treats! <3

    1. They are! I really have been spoiled this year. My friends and family have made 34 a good age to turn. I finished Scorpio Races by the way! Amazing.

    1. It really is pretty. I am going to toss some in the warmers soon. Her Outlander themed stuff is being made right now. Hoping she won't release it until after December.
