I've yet to find a vendor that carries a decent pineapple - they're all quite phony-smelling. I'm all right with zucchini bread scents for the most part, but anything yeasty is a nightmare. Ooh, there's another one for the Wax Blending Glitch List - Passionfruit Campfire and Fresh Baked Bread! Hot Cocoa Marzipan and Earth! I could go all day... :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14320833098339108738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2810618299009561680.post-37693455643773410632017-10-11T19:52:50.909-04:002017-10-11T19:52:50.909-04:00I am a peppermint blending machine, right?! Yeah.....I am a peppermint blending machine, right?! Yeah... I think it was the Sugared Spruce honestly but it could have been the Flannel too in the other one that didn't work. At first I thought it was the MF but I had that on its own and melted it and it was pure bliss. <br /><br />I will put that blend in my next basket and melt it for you! I will also send you a chunk.

I am looking forward to the reopening too. I feel like I always have something lurking in my brain. This time it is Pink Sugar Cinnamon Donuts. But that may pass. Not exciting but I am craving pink sugar bakery again.

The mint is strong but I am partial to that. It bums me out when it is light. I don't know if it is my nose but for me, mint is either nonexistent or in my face and I will take in my face. I will let you know if the ocean or barbershop peek through. <br /><br />Butterfly Lane does customs and RTS intermittently. She is one that uses her Facebook group a lot to announce sales and deals. I just looked and she does have some RTS and customs open right now. <3 Her customs are super fast by the way. That is what the Spruce one was. A custom.

And yes, sometimes you just gotta try some blends that might not work. Sometimes it would be nice to run blends by a vendor first to see what they think but I think that might take some of the fun out of it. I bet those days when the blends are awful make for nauseous work experiences. I would probably be one of those vendors who wouldn't even offer a zucchini scent. I think LPL was like that... she didn't like mint? Never offered it. <br /><br />LOL @ Jay- Yes! LOVE IT!<br /><br />You win with Tangerine Junior Mint Raisin. Mine would be a banana chocolate zucchini pineapple tart.

Here, I'll start - Tangerine Junior Mint Raisin! Minty Pomegranate Turtle Pie! Kiwi Sweater Weather Toasted Marshmallow!

I know what I was *aiming* towards (this fruity, juicy, spicy cocktail I really like) but yikes, was it bad.)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14320833098339108738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2810618299009561680.post-24219185640373498822017-10-05T23:50:48.069-04:002017-10-05T23:50:48.069-04:00Hahahaha!

I can't wait until she reopens for customs again.

Those Dragon Blood and Sandalwood blends sound like stunners, even that deeply sweet Butterscotch got my attention. I'm already making a review request, if and when you do fall asleep to the Barbershop Ocean blend. I have enjoyed most of my SMT so far, but I noticed the mints are most powerful. If Ocean stands up to it, let me know. The Salty Sea Air I received got lost in the scent shuffle. <br />P.S. I just melted the Butterfly Lane you sent me of Spearmint Spruce to try to combat this brutal head cold and it was so soothing (from what I could detect through my running faucet nose).

I guess the one thing I can say about the extended turnaround time (I thought I got mine in quite early this time, too, but still no dice for me) is that by the time it gets to you, your order is quite the surprise - like, did I buy that? I guess I did, sweet! Your frosted cookies came in such great colours this time - I love those Fall-y reds and purples. <br /><br />Ha, and I love that you owned up to your bummy blend. Eh, sometimes these things happen and they stink, but when it works out, it's always such a delight, you've got to try something weird every now and then in case it works out. I've always wondered how the vendors do it, though, when they look down and go, "Oh no, this one's gonna hurt..."Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14320833098339108738noreply@blogger.com
