Luminous Scentsations Giveaway!

GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED:

WINNERS ARE:

KATIE AND MANDI

If you purchased an April sampler box from Out Of The Box Sampler, then you were probably lucky enough to get a sample from Luminous Scentsations.  Jennifer is the owner of this fabulous company and she sent in a cool 125 samples this month!  They were adorable tarts in shapes of birdhouses, butterflies and flowers with amazing scents of lilac, bumbleberry, white tea & berries and a few more.

Luminous Scentsations features an outstanding selection of hand-poured paraffin wax melts as well as a growing selection of fragrance warmers to match your decor.  Their scent list is continually growing and includes a few of my favorites:

Vanilla Mint

White Tea & Berries

and

Bumbleberry.

I love to just pop a tart or two into my melter each day and enjoy the aromas without having to worry about an open flame candle.  People are always asking me where to get a melter for all the wonderful tarts they receive in the sampler boxes.  So here you go, run over to Luminous Scentsations and grab one and a couple dozen tarts too!  (you can never have too many tarts, in my opinion)

Let's get to the giveaway!

Luminous Scentsations has sent in 2 packs of their full size tarts in White Tea & Berries.  So we will pick 2 winners for this giveaway!

Fragrant Memories

I'm comin' at ya with another awesome candle shoppe! I found Fragrant Memories Candle Shoppe when I was searching for businesses to participate in the Out Of The Box Sampler. I was so excited when Donna emailed me back saying "yes", she'd join us. I loved the tart cup samples she sent in. So many different scents and so strong.

Their website is filled with all kinds of tart packages and accessories to fill your home with fragrance.

You'll find clamshells tarts, scalloped tarts and tart cups in 1oz and 2oz sizes. As a matter of fact, they are currently running a "goodbye sale" on their 1oz cup tarts. You can nab a few of your favorite scents for just .90 cents each. You'll have to be quick, before their all gone.

Also, for a limited time only, they are offering a 12 pack of FREE Scalloped Tarts with any product purchase of $35.00 or more. You get to pick the scent too! Can you believe a whole dozen of free tarts. That's the best deal I've heard of in a long time.

Fragrant Memories Candle Shoppe boasts over 160 fragrance choices. I think you might have a little trouble narrowing it down for your order, so let me list their top 10 best selling scents to help you out...

Cinnamon Bread Pudding

Keylime Frosting

Plumberry Spice

Pink Frosted Cupcakes

Apple Dumpling

Sweet Corn Pudding

Egyptian Dragon

Givin' A Peace Sign

Bear Claws

and Holiday Memories.

If you are like so many people I know that don't even own a tart warmer yet, don't despair! You'll have plenty to choose from in their shoppe as well.

I really love the plug in warmers that go right into the wall socket. You can just enjoy one in your bathroom or a hallway with no fuss. Their prices are very reasonable, so you can always pick up 2 or 3 for the house. One can never have too many good smelling tarts brewing.

So why not pamper yourself with a gift basket from Fragrant Memories Candle Shoppe. I love the fact that they let you pick whatever you want in your gift basket and then just shoot them an email for a price quote. That way you can get all the goodies you want in one convenient basket. Or, if that someone special has an upcoming birthday, anniversary or such, send them a goodie basket too.

So head over and check them out, take advantage of all the awesome deals, and be sure to tell them the Out Of The Box Sampler sent you!

Mylingy's Purrfect Candles

I've been wanting to post about Mylingy's Purrfect Candles for awhile now, so I thought I'd share them with you today. Donna, the owner, has been an awesome contributor to the Out Of The Box Sampler for a few months this past year and will be joining us again this year. She has an incredible scentlist that boasts 700 fragrances! As a candle maker myself, I can't imagine having that many different scents available. So your sure to find exactly what your looking for when you place an order with her.

She not only has a website but also an Etsy store, where you'll find many specials waiting for you.

You'll find FREE SHIPPING within the United States on all order total's over $15.00! But wait, there's more! From now until February 14th, ALL CANDLES, VOTIVES, TEALIGHTS AND TARTS ARE 22% OFF! Just send Donna an email thru Etsy and she'll setup a special listing for you, with the discounted price.

You'll find that all her products are 100% soy, handpoured, highly fragranced, and made with Lead-free wicks.

I love that there are plenty of different jar sizes to pick from and the tealights, tarts, and votives that are available in 12,6,3 packs or by the single can be mixed and match. Most candle businesses won't offer you that option. So you can tryout a good number of their scents with just one order!

I can honestly tell you that everytime a box arrives here filled with Mylingy's Purrfect Candles for the sampler boxes, the scent's are just awesome. I've heard nothing but good feedback about this business from our box buyers. You should hop on over and find out for yourself what you've been missing out on.

Perfectly Prim...

The Crows Nest Primitive Shoppe
has to be my favorite website ever. I love all things primitive and Andrea, the owner, has summed up what perfectly primitive is with all her products.

I first found her shoppe while looking for contributors to the Out Of The Box Sampler. I loved everything about her website and sent her a letter to join us. She graciously accepted and stayed for a few months in a row. If you weren't lucky enough to get a sample of her goods, you have really lost out.

Her candles and melting tarts are just incredibly delicious and fill your home with strong scents.

Her candles come in primitive square mason jars with rusty ole' lids on them. Check out this holiday candle with the rusty bell, I just love it!

That's the thing about Crows Nest Primitive Shoppe, Andrea puts her heart and soul into the finishing touches on everything she makes. You can't help but feel special when you get your order.

Her family owns and operates an herb farm so you get the freshest ingredients put into her products. You have to check out her website's seasonal page for the cutest holiday gifts you can spoil your family and friends with.

And her gift baskets are adorable.

So if your looking for perfectly prim, then look no further and run over to the Crows Nest Primitive Shoppe to place all your holiday orders. But, be sure to tell them that Michelle sent ya!

A little of Deborah's Magick

Take a look at this Etsy shoppe. It's called Deborah's Candle Magick. If you have candle needs (and you know their not want's, their needs, if your a candle lover like me) then head over and see Deborah. She's the owner of Deborah's Candle Magick.

I found her business when searching for contributors to the Out Of The Box Sampler. So Deborah said "absolutely, I'll send in samples," and I was excited until I actually got her samples in my hand and then was ecstatic! She sent in full size samples for our box buyers. Then, signed up for the next 2 months. She's been getting rave reviews on her products and I can see why!

Deborah carries a full line of candle products including tarts, jars, reed diffusers, pillars and aroma beads!

She carries 59 different scents! I'm sure you'll find something to lure your senses! And if you didn't get your hands on one of her samples from our boxes, you can head over to our newest blog at 2 Crazy Chics to enter an awesome giveaway drawing we're doing that features some of our businesses from the February sampler boxes! Deborah's heart candle pictured here is among them!

You'll find Deborah's Candle Magick in the March, April and May sampler boxes too! Can't wait to see what she sends in this time.

Willow Lake Scents

We're checkin' out Willow Lake Scents today! I just LOVE this business. Heather is the owner and she blows me away with the huge variety of products she carries. Willow Lake Scents has been in the Out Of The Box Sampler for the last few months! It's always a surprise what goodies she'll be sending in for us all to sample.

Check out this gorgeous bag of prim fixins! It's filled with cinnamon sticks, rosehips, putka pods and wonderfully scrumptious scent! You get a full pound and the best part is you can choose 2 different scents if you'd like. Great idea!

Here's a list of some of the things you'll find at Willow Lake Scents:

Soaps

Scrubs

Soy Tarts

Bath Salts

Aroma Beads

and Lip Scrubs!

Now that's something I had never heard of until Heather sent them in for the sampler boxes!

If you can't decide what you'd like to try, you can always go with a sample pack from Willow Lake Scents. You'll get to pick 5 products out of the 10 they offer! That's a great way to try a lot of their items for just a little cost!

So run over to Willow Lake Scents and pick up your sample pack and more! You won't be disappointed and make sure you tell them that the Out Of The Box Sampler sent you!

One more thing, head over to Heather's blog at Willow Lake Scents Blog! There's always a giveaway going on! Follow her, cause your not going to want to miss a thing she posts! Trust me on this.

Check out Sephyrus...

This featured business has been a long time in coming. I've really been behind in my blogging posts but hopefully will get that back in high gear! So let's start off with one of our January contributors to the Out Of The Box Sampler.

Sephyrus is an awesome candle business that you'll just love to add to your list of favorites! They have an Etsy shoppe. You'll find lots of goodies from votives, tealights, tarts, jar candles to bath n body and gift sets.

Their candles are made from all natural palm wax and they use premium, phthalate free fragrance oils. Not only is palm wax beautiful with its crystalized appearance, it also allows the fragrance to smell truer than any other wax base. This means you get a superior candle scent experience.

From the samples they sent in, the scents were just awesome! I especially fell in love with "Snozzberry!" It is a deep berry scent that you just can't quite put your finger on but it's scrumptiously wonderful!

Here's a few others and a couple you might find interesting for Valentine's Day:

First Kiss

Blackberry Sage

Pumpkin Apple Butter

Lick Me All Over

and Spiced Cranberry.

If you can't decide and want to try a little of everything, you can purchase the sampler pack of 12 different winter & holiday scents.

Don't forget to pamper your skin as well with one of the sexy gift sets available. A set comes with a 5oz bottle of lotion and a candle.

These gift sets are called The Kindle Collection and they contains sensually scented lotions and candles designed to evoke a 're-kindling' of romance and passion! So make a purchase from Sephyrus and plan a night in with your significant other. But make sure you have plenty of the Kindle Collection on hand!

Enjoy!
