Rosegirls: Pie Nirvana


It had been a good long while since I have been able to create a custom pie from Rosegirls, but Jenny is opening up her new website and needed some help so we traded. Bartering is business and work was exchanged and I know I left feeling happy and I hope she did too. 

Fact: I still have my list of all the blends I wanted to make at the next Rosegirls custom, about 50 or so blends, that never came. So what blends did I choose after years of Rosegirls blending famine? This first one is a sinus clearing masterpiece:

Peppermint/Gilligan's Brew/Shaving Cream- This blue and white beauty is intense. Arctic menthol blasts of pure peppermint, made dapper and refreshing with shaving cream cleanliness with that soft touch of coconut sweetness to balance it. This is one I will melt sparingly. Crossing fingers Jenny adds it to a pre-order because I am in love. I think shaving cream is the scent for 2017.


Raspberry Sauce/Mango Sorbet/Gilligan's Brew- Fruity nirvana. Sandra sold me on Mango Sorbet, that vivacious and bold peachy mango treat. Pair it with that tartly sweet signature Raspberry Sauce and an overpour of Gilligan's Brew, and one killer fruity pie is born. This will be my summer go-to scent.


Americana Wafers (Hot Apple Pie/Blueberry Cobbler/Vanilla Wafers)- An original Rosegirls house blend that stands as one of my favorite fruity-bakery scents. And I am picky about my fruity-bakery. Blueberry pulls up first with some of that spiced apple underneath and all of it is smoothed out nicely by strong vanilla cookies. Delish. Divine. And comforting.


Lavender/Violet/Swizzle Sticks- This was a shot in the dark but I am happy to have made it. The violets are freshly bloomed with a bit of lavender freshness and Swizzle Sticks sweetness folded in. I cannot decide if it is more of a clean scent, a soft floral or a candied floral. I am going to let this one sit and meld for a while before melting it and seeing how it unfolds when warmed.

Rosegirls pies. One of the landmark vendor wax experiences out there. I appreciate that Jenny and her team are offering these gems in the pre-orders now. What blends would you love see made into pies from Rosegirls?

  1. Blending for Muffin Club always stressed me out so much, but in a way I do miss those days. If I were going to blend something again I'd probably just look back at what we came up with in those days. LOL

    Americana Wafers....mmmmmm!

    I'll need to try shaving cream-something from somewhere just to see what all the fuss is about.

    1. It did!!! But you stuck through it like a trooper and made some incredible blends!!! That watermelon mint one is still pretty popular I think. I do miss the Muffin Club days. But for more reasons than just the muffins. New is good too though. Today on my lunch break I am going to be searching your blog for Tudors and Hollow City.

      I will send you a slice!

      You do need to try it. I know you are much of a clean or floral gal but you may like it.

  2. *drooling a bit from all the pie goodness*
    So many great blends especially your first one Peppermint/Gilligan's Brew/Shaving Cream wowza! Bet that one is amazing.
    Now, I know I love RG vanilla wafer, it also causes the ole mouth to water so I would love to blend something up with that.

    1. The first one is easily my favorite of the bunch. It is really hitting the spot for me. I became worried it would be weird after I submitted the blends but then figured I had nothing to lose. And it ended up working. I will send you a chunk!

      RG Vanilla Wafer really is a great scent! So strong and comforting. I love a great vanilla scent. I have been on a vanilla kick both in wax and perfume lately.

  3. Your photography gets me every time! It's so beautiful and I'm glad you're getting to barter for it! I discovered I'm only about an hour away from Jenny's store so I made a trip a few weeks ago and left with a large box full of goodies. You're definitely to blame ;).

What were some of your favorites from you trip? Did you pick up any Candy Panda scrubs? I will take all the blame LOL!!! Enjoy your bounty!!

    2. Some of my favorites were Abracadabra (that Lush Olive Branch gets me every time), Cold Winter's Day and Orange Zen. I didn't pick up any scrubs...because my budget was blown by then lol!

  4. You know who else is voting for shaving cream for scent of the year! Geez, I think I dedicated and ode to it, or at least an embarrassing amount of blog content in Feb. So yeah, I'm eyeballin' that blue pie beauty. My vote for pre-order if Jenny's reading:)
    Congrats on the wax deal, that's a win-win for both parties<3<3

    1. I know you would!!! I liked it in VCS Johanna and a few others but I feel like it is really booming now! Deb and a few others and I used to try and pinpoint what the scent trends were for the year and I definitely vote shaving cream. And your Blue Sugar Shaving Cream knocked my socks off (and some nose hairs too! SO STRONG!!!!) LOL! I loved it! Thank you. I will make sure you get to try this version of it next time I send you a box.

  5. Aha, thar be the pies! They look fantastic - great job on the photography, as usual. I don't really care for shaving cream blends myself too, too much, but I think that first guy sounds delicious - just a hit of coconut to smooth everything out a bit. Very nice. And yay for that Mango Sorbet delicacy, so glad you like it - what a yummy scent. I'm already sold on the Raspberry Sauce, but I bet the addition of the coconut - again! - is divine. I once had a Raspberry Sauce/Lemon/Gilligan's Brew blend that was AMAZING, too.
