I love candles and how they look and last, but I tend to lean more towards tarts nowadays. I think it's half convenience and half fear of commitment. Not sure about you guys but burning the same $20 three wick candle for aaaages gets a little tiresome. I was excited to find Scentsory Overload offers a pretty awesome selection of different scented tarts at a fantastic price.. I chose 6 different packs containing 6 cubes each and still paid less than the price of one of the aforementioned fancy schmancy candles! Score!
It wasn't too hard for me to choose which scents I was most excited for, as they even have a few like 'Blueberry Flapjacks' and 'Loopy' which correspond perfectly with some of my favourite Fortune Cookie Soap products! Of course I got those 2, as well as 'Honey Coated Sunset', 'Forbidden Fruit', 'Honeymoon in Paris' and 'Lemon Poppy Seed'. Just in case you don't have alot of experience with candles and tarts, really good quality natural soy wax tends to be slightly crumbly, easy to break and sometimes has a white cast when set. These attributes, that sometimes make people question quality if they aren't used to it, are actually the ones you should look for to know you're getting a good, clean-burning and no-yuckiness-added home fragrance product.
Honey Coated Sunset
This has to be my absolute favourite of the 6 I bought, it's pretty darn close to Lushs super popular 'Honey, I Washed the Kids' scent, but less fake and syrupy, and more natural. To me, this smells just like an organic baby lotion I used to have when my son was a newborn. It's like oatmeal, honey and a warm hug all wrapped up in a little wax cube! This is one of those scents everybody on the planet would enjoy and find comfort in, HIGHLY recommend!
Blueberry Flapjacks
Mmmm.. I could eat these! They're a gorgeous shade of blue and you can literally hold it to your nose, close your eyes and smell the pancakes, the hint of warm butter and the gooey maple syrup individually. I bet if you have kids and threw one of these in the warmer before you made your morning coffee, they'd be out of bed in 2.5 seconds to see what you were making for breakfast that smelled so delicious!
Lemon Poppy Seed
In all honesty, I'm usually not a lemon fan (tends to remind me of household cleaners) and so I chose this one for my mom. She loves lemon! However, I was pleasantly surprised and haven't been able to bring myself to actually hand it over! hah :) It has a really warm, sweet cake scent that mellows out the crisp lemon. I could probably eat this one too, very yummy and another perfect morning pick-me-up scent.
Honeymoon in Paris
I chose this upon hearing it was described as a very romantic scent, and it definitely is! Very fresh, soft, feminine and floral. I was instantly drawn to the scent the first time I smelled it, thinking to myself.. I've smelt this before! I must have racked my brain for hoursss trying to think of where unti it hit me. I used to buy a hair deep conditioner by Pantene Pro-V, it was for medium-thick hair and came in a square, white jar with a black lid. This scent smells exactly like it! It's truly intoxicating and I plan to slather my hair in conditioner, light the warmer and fully enjoy some "me" time basking in this scent.
Forbidden Fruit
With so many smooth and sweet fruity scents going around these days, it's refreshing to discover one that has some bite to it! I'm terrible at picking out individual notes, but all I can say is this is tart, crisp and a little bit edgy. If you love apple scents, this is a must have, especially for the upcoming hot weather! Makes me want to sit outside on a balmy afternoon and sip a frozen, fruity apple drink.
Loopy
If you`re a Fruit Loops fan, this is undeniably the one to stock up on! It was the 2nd one I tried and my whole livingroom smelled like there was fruity cereal ground into the carpet, under the couch cushions, glued to the walls, etc.. You get the drift! It`s sugary-sweet, fun and dead on like you stuck your face right in the box and accidentally snorted a handful of the cereal dust from the bottom of the bag. I didn`t have to tell anyone who came in my house what it was, every single person knew instantly!
These tarts have an amazing scent throw, whether solid in their package or simmering away in the warmer. They are super easy to break apart, have lasted longer than many others I`ve tried and have such fun, vibrant colours and labelling. I highly recommend purchasing some for yourself, and I can`t wait to add some more new scents to my Scentsory Overload collection! Check out the links below to grab your own, and give them a like on Facebook, they`re super friendly and constantly posting new products and ideas!

FTC: Everything shown was purchased by me, with my own money (except 1 pack of tarts I received free, in exchange for some handmade clay charms I had sent!) and all opinions are my own.
Smells like a good product! I think it would be a perfect gift to your friends and relatives. For one, it is an ideal item for any occasion. Second, they would appreciate the fragrant scent once they opened the wrapper! [Hildagarde Carbon]
