Haus of Gloi We Love Cake Perfume Oil Review

5 stars out of 5

Haus of Gloi We Love Cake Perfume Oil is a collection of 7 cake scented perfume oils that I recently purchased from the Soap Box Company. Don’t quote me but these seem to be exclusive to the Soap Box Company since I didn’t find them on the Haus of Gloi website.

I know some of you are in Summer mode at the moment but I bet most of you, like me, are eagerly awaiting the Fall. Typically towards the end of June, the Fall season starts for me as many of my favorite Etsy and e-tailers start launching their Halloween and Fall Collections. I’m mentioning this because these new Haus of Gloi We Love Cake Perfume Oils scream Fall to me. I don’t really want to smell like cake at the moment. Coconuts, vanilla, sweet fruits, yes, but cake? Not so much! But come Fall, these will be a staple part of my fragrance round up!

HomeWorx by Harry Slatkin Deluxe 18 oz 4-Wick Candles Fall or Holiday Candle QVC Today’s Special Value

I receive a small commission if you shop through my link.

HomeWorx by Harry Slatkin Deluxe 18 oz 4-Wick Candles Fall or Holiday Candle QVC Today’s Special Value (TSV) has arrived and it’s stupid amazing! So stupid amazing I ordered both sets they have available.

Sorry not sorry 🙂

So, here’s a refresher if you didn’t read by prior Homeworx Ice Cream Candles post.

Harry Slakin, godfather of all things beautifully scented, at one time worked with in collaboration with Bath & Body Works to create their incredible fragrance collection. Many of the scents you likely know and love that are still available at Bath & Body Works to this day even though Harry is no longer working with them to create these blends.

Last year, much to the candle world’s excitement, Harry brought his new Homeworx Candles to QVC and they are amazing. For the past few years, Bath & Body Works has been slacking a little with their candle selection which makes it extra nice to indulge in Harry’s massive candles that have excellent throw, wax pooling, and incredible burn. Not to mention is candles are a steal as is this Today’s Special Value that debuts on QVC on July 15 (it won’t ship until September due to the very warm weather).

This set includes 3, 3! 3 18 oz 4-wick candles. 3 of them. I just have to get that out there. They are HUGE (burn time between 33-55 hours)! Bath & Body Works Candles are 14.5 oz in size and have 3-wicks. These are twice the size with 4-wicks so you can imagine the throw. I picked up the Ice Cream Candles from the Homeworx Collection a few short months ago and they were fantastic which is why I didn’t hesitate to grab this TSV.

You have a choice of Fall or Holiday Scents (I got both!) and you get 3 candles for $49 plus free shipping!
Holiday:

  • Mistletoe Magic: black currant, pine needles, fir balsam, and pomelo
  • Winter Hearth: crisp juniper, warmed brandy, incense, and icy spruce
  • Frozen Balsam: fir balsam, frosted ozone, bergamot, oak moss, and evergreen

Harvest:

  • Pumpkin Caramel Corn: buttery crackle caramel, pumpkin spice, and fresh popped corn
  • Autumn Pinecone: fallen pinecones, red oak, fresh eucalyptus, and juniper berry
  • Harvest Leaves: spiced pumpkin, mandarin, cranberry, fir balsam, and applewood

You can also get the set on Auto Delivery which will include a second shipment in January that ships free at the same price and includes:

  • Clean Cotton: clean air, fresh rainwater, soft lily of the valley
  • Kitchen Lemon: meyer lemon, fresh verbena, sparkling grapefruit
  • Green Grass: fresh cut grass, cucumber, geranium, white clover

HomeWorx by Harry Slatkin Deluxe 18 oz 4-Wick Candles Fall or Holiday Candle QVC Today’s Special Value is a killer value to say the least 🙂

Philosophy Fresh Cream Warm Cashmere Review

5 stars out of 5

Philosophy Fresh Cream Warm Cashmere Eau de Toilette is the brand’s newest fragrance that’s a re-take on their very popular Fresh Cream Perfume that everyone loves so much. QVC had a Today’s Special Value with the scent and I wasn’t going to purchase the set as I felt like I didn’t need everything that came with it but in the end I gave in because I realized what a great deal it was.

The set includes a huge 32 oz 3-in-1 Shower Gel, a 16 oz Glazed Body Souffle, and a 4 oz fragrance. I just felt like I have way too much shower gel and getting yet another massive bottle felt very unnecessary to me.

Philosophy Fresh Cream Warm Cashmere launched about two weeks ago on Ulta’s website but I haven’t had the chance to sniff it in store as none of the stores I went to had a bottle. It must have been faith that during the Today’s Special Value launch I located a bottle at Ulta and was able to finally sniff it. I fell in love with it but a 2 oz bottle was $40 bucks. I didn’t hesitate splurging the extra $20 and grabbing the QVC set as I got a 4 oz bottle plus the two extra body care items. Even if I don’t need yet another shower gel I’m still happy to have hauled this was it was a great deal plus I’m really, really loving this scent.
