Glad it did well for you and that the extra glitter was welcome. I think I only have two or three chunks left from this batch. They go fast! But I am kinda hoarding those now until fall or winter since they are the heavier bakery ones that I tend to enjoy around then.

I actually quite like that crunchy biscotti/cookie note, and although the Black Raspberry part errs a bit floral, I really quite like the two together. It's super yummy, plus I like the extra bits of glitter from your photo shoot!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14320833098339108738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2810618299009561680.post-90975382176375026402017-05-16T13:43:03.028-04:002017-05-16T13:43:03.028-04:00You know, I don't believe I've ever smelle...You know, I don't believe I've ever smelled Pearberry before. Is that a BBW fragrance? Anyhow, one should not look a gift smelly horse in the face, or wax beggars can't be choosers, so yes, I'd love to try it, regardless! With or without glitter!<br /><br />Speaking of, had I walked into any of my friend's houses and found their mom playing around with awesome smelling candles and glittery craft supplies, I'd probably ditch my friend to hang out with their mom! You might look odd, but it's actually pretty cool. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2810618299009561680.post-88036150884173948022017-05-13T08:29:26.545-04:002017-05-13T08:29:26.545-04:00Thank you, Sandra.

Not that sprinkling glitter on the ground is all that innovative but better than the same old woodgrain. The funny part was me pulling my light up birch tree over to the table and taking the pics through the branches so I could get the sparkle and shine to be brighter... I must have been a strange sight, glad none of the girls' friends were over for that. They have to witness enough weirdness with my wax photoshoots. "What is your mom doing?" "Why does she do that?" I have heard those questions asked before as they walk to their rooms to play. <br /><br />Do you happen to like Pearberry? I can send you that one when our TBG comes in. :-) If not I will slice off some of the others (County Fair for sure, whether you like Pearberry or not) and bag them up for you to try. Gotta try it! But beware... there may/will be glitter on the bottoms.TheRedolentMermaidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12025330454820306972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2810618299009561680.post-8080839712272921932017-05-12T17:53:36.529-04:002017-05-12T17:53:36.529-04:00I'm on the fence about the Blue Water Orchid. ...I'm on the fence about the Blue Water Orchid.

You totally earned that unicorn wax payment, because this makes me want all the Glitterati, and I didn't really give a fig about it before. :)<br /><br />Country Fair sounds fantastic; I've heard raves. And it's so darn adorable, too - such a festive little chunk.

I didn't know she had other MF blends. I wish I was on customs so I could make some MF blends with her. Maybe we will get some similar scents when our names come up. It has been a while since I looked at how far she has gotten. 2018 it is looking like? Not bad. At least that will put me at getting Glitterati once a year. Not bad.

I had a cube of it that I loved melting so much. Are you on any customs or Mystery Box lists? Make sure you enter the giveaway so you can have a shot at the Pink MF. Thank you for your kind words, Renee!

Glitter for Glitterati! DUH! It did make a hot mess and it stick all over the wax but it was fun and worth it, I think. Oooooo!!!! You scored some unintentional Glitterati?! How awesome!!! Lick Me All Over is a fun and fruity scent too! Perfect for summer melting. Please review it!

Good to hear you love Honeydew Buttercream Cake, because you and I like a bunch of similar scents. I bet I will love it too. It is pretty great on cold. <br /><br />Your husband likes the good stuff! Nice! Mine never says he enjoys any of it, but he will tell me if it stinks. Though he does tell me funny stories about people mentioning that he smells good or his stuff does or the house does when things are delivered. So at least he recognizes that it DOES smell good at home. :-) And he will buy it for me, but I love that your guy will actually get in the group and bid on lots for you!! How cool!!<br /><br />Janine is very sweet and generous. I like that she has her line in the sand about how much time and how big she wants to grow and keeps it there without letting people bully her into growing and taking more time away from her family. And like you, I am glad she does make wax for us. I hope she will for a long time to come.

Surprisingly the only one I've tried of those mentioned here is Tahiti Treat and I really enjoyed it. I neeeed some pink sugar mf in my life as I adore her other mf blends. I'm on the mystery box list too; just a handful of spots below you. (Yay Glitterati 2018!) I can't wait to see what surprises you have in store!Amanda C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14977811037288255876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2810618299009561680.post-12748132530871312562017-05-10T10:19:04.211-04:002017-05-10T10:19:04.211-04:00I got the Pink Pistachio and the Blue Water Orchid...I got the Pink Pistachio and the Blue Water Orchid in my mystery box a couple weeks ago. You really can't go wrong with any of Janine's blends. I've found so many scents that I would never dream of blending together and somehow it just works. I truly believe Janine is a sorceress. I am one of the total die hard County Fair fans. It's perfect as you mentioned because it doesn't have that heaviness from the caramel apple and kettle corn. I love apple scents but for some reason it doesn't work for me in these types of circus concession type blends. I'm going to have to try and score a Pink Marshmallow Fireside from a destash (though I doubt anyone will give up their goodies) so I can see how it smells. It sounds amazing! As usual, I love your pics and reviews. Thank you for a great read!

That being said I bought a destash not too long ago and was surprised to find a scent shot from Glitterati included and was floored. I believe it was in the scent Lick Me All Over? Not too sure on the scent itself but I will melt it to see how it performs in my home. For a mystery box I think you hit big with 9 out of 11 scents with most of them sounding super amazing so I am super glad it worked out!

Glitterati is the true Unicorn wax ...You are right. Glitterati is the true Unicorn wax of the wax world. I have had the please of getting in on a custom order and a few mystery boxes. That was before she exploded with customers. Honeydew Buttercream Cake is one of my top 3 scents. <br /><br />My husband tolerates my wax addiction. He will sometimes comment on a scent that he likes. With that said, he is obsessed with Glitterati. Lemon Biscotti being his favorite. He has even joined the Glitterati board. When the flash sales come up, it is him that tells me, "You better go post ME". LOL <br /><br />I just love Janine to pieces. She is a hip, cool wax vendor that I really enjoy reading. She has great business sense and knows how to take care of her customers. I can't imagine how she does it, but I am glad she shares her gift with all of us.
