Very nice! SO happy you tried HomeWorx I'm sure you will be hooked! My advice on future purchases, just read the scent notes and try to watch previouse reviews , if available. I have been buying HomeWorx candles for about 5 years and have never had an issue or complaint, love all of them! Harry has some great fall and holiday blends, some of my favs are Fall Farmstand, Spiced Acorn and Holiday Spice but honestly, I love all of them! I also melt complementary vendor wax with candles, which fills my house! Looking forward to your next picks!
I tried this yesterday! I went to release the smoke an hour or so later so the smoke wouldn’t make the wax smell smoky. And the smoke was gone!!! 😮 Where did it go?!
@@RobynH Haha, I’m not sure. You can also just set the lid on top and wait for about a min and lift the lid to let the smoke out..Harry Slatkin recommended this way to extinguish the flames. Have a great day!
Great first Homeworx haul! I have 1/2 dozen backups for Sugared Beignets, that tells you how much I love the candle! Fall Farmstand is also another I have multiple backups of, try it. I wanted to tell you, be careful cleaning out the Raspberry Linzer Cookie jar when go to repurpose. The jar is painted from the inside and it can be scratched and when that happens you can see the scratched areas on the outside of the jar. Rather than keys, keep something softer inside or use as a floral base, etc. just a FYI from my own experience!
Thank you for the tip on cleaning the jar out! I just finished that candle and am going to be cleaning it out, great timing! I was eyeing up Fall Farmstand - you’ve convinced me haha.
Oooh birch wood vanilla looks yummy!!! I have that hobnail one too!!! 🎉🙌🏻🥰🥳 I haven’t melted it yet but it’s so pretty! After the candle I want to keep the jar lol because my kitchen has red accents. ❤️
Yes girl!! So happy you got your order! 🥳🎉 I would highly recommend Hot Cider Donut & Limoncello Cupcake! The jars are so deceiving on camera. In person they're huge! 😄
Have you ever smelled or burned the vanilla birch candle from bath and body works? I’m wondering if that smells anything like the birch wood vanilla from homeworx. BBW vanilla birch is in my top 5 favorites 😍
I can’t remember if I’ve smelled B&BW Vanilla Birch. Is it an older candle scent? If so it’s possibly from the Slatkin days at B&BW, in which case Homeworx Birchwood Vanilla might be the same or very close. I know one of the Homeworx candles is apparently dupe of B&BW Winter (the old version) because it was one of Harry Slatkins blends.
Hi Robyn! I received my 1st order about 2 weeks ago as Brandi inspired me! There is another huge sale this weekend! Now if the Canadian shipping rates could be lowered, I would be a regular customer! I love the sugared beignets scent and the hot cider candle! Happy burning friend!
I agree the shipping was a little wild and then I got slammed with $40 in duty fees on top of it! Definitely can’t order 1-2 candles at a time with those shipping fees. What scents did you get?
@@RobynH That's so crazy! 😬 I've never paid more than $20 usd for shipping and have never been hit with duty fees... I feel so bad that happened to you Robyn and will make sure to mention that in a future HomeWorx haul so people are aware!
I agree Josee, I would buy way more too! I didn't find the shipping overly terrible but it's definitely higher than I want to pay (normally around $20 usd) Hot Cider Donut is amazing!!
@@RobynH I didn’t realize they ship to Canada now so I’m just taking a look. I did see they have a shipping option that says it includes duties (and oddly it was cheaper than the one that doesn’t). Just curious if you selected that option and still got hit with the duty charge?
@@katelynjohnston4081 for my order it was significantly more expensive to pick the duty included option so I took my chances (and it didn’t pay off!). If you pick the fees included one I’d think you shouldn’t be hit with it - that’s what I’ll be using in future.
Robyn I just went to homegoods and had a good find. I found Toasted vanilla pumpkin , banana maple pancakes and golden harvest 16.99 each. First time trying them. I will plan to check Marshall’s and Tj maxx too. So exited!
This was a great video review Robyn! I ordered Homeworx recently, 1st time. Had a nice discount and on top of a sale (may of been a new customer code). I’m sorry you had such fees with duty! I really liked the Hot Cider Donut. So much so, after burning it, I had my husband bring home donuts 🤣 I have the caramel popcorn, in an amber jar like your Rasp. Linzer. I also bought the Birchwood Vanilla, (definitely putting that aside for January 🥰) The candles are huge! I recently also tried GooseCreek for the first time, and have been pleased. (However, I’ve only chopped and warmed them, I haven’t lit one yet 😁) Happy new scents!
Mrs. Elizabeth from Elizabeth scenes and scents, says that if she really likes a candle, and doesn't want it to soot, she scoops out the wax and puts it in her warmer. I'm gonna try that.
Do you find that candles perform as well as scentsy or other wax melts? I like candles but I don't really get the same level of scent performance...perhaps I've just had the wrong candles...
Strength wise, no. Some Bath and Body Works candles have been as strong as melts for me, but like I said, I don’t care for the way they burn. The Homeworx ones seem to burn nicely but are not quite as strong as most wax melts. I do like that you get even scent for as long as the candle burns, it doesn’t just taper off.
Yay!! I've been Homeworx obsessed since their first release & admittedly own an obscene amount, burning them daily. I'm a huge Slatkin fan. I stick to the 4 wicks. For fall, Harvest Leaves, Autumn Pinecone and Hot cider Donut are amazing. Christmas-White Birch, Seasons Greetings and Cranberry Wreath are so good...must have Xmas scents for me. If you like BBW's Winter, try Woodland Cabin. Spun Vanilla Sugar is a beautiful vanilla, on it's own and a great mixer. The Farmstand Fruits are all amazing, with a great 3 candle set on QVC on sale for amazing price now. Many of the colored glass jar styles I had and did bouquets of flowers in them, also giving the lid, as an extra with gifts for Xmas. All my family and friends now have Homeworx jars in bathrooms, bedrooms, kitchens, etc., reusing for pretty storage.
@@RobynH Yes. I like Birchwood Vanilla, but I White Birch is a beautiful winter tree scent. Many who don't like the typical pine Christmas tree scent just burn White Birch throughout the holidays instead, but it is a tree scent which works all winter long, not just holiday appropriate. It smells authentically like if you walked through the woods on a snowy night. I burn it Nov to Feb. My kids always say the house feels cozy when White Birch is burning.

I just placed a second order and Farmstand Pumpkin is in there! Can’t wait to see what the holiday lineup will have!
Hi Robyn, you can use the lid to put the flames out. Place on top and press down. Nice video too your very pleasant.

It’ll be perfect for storing tea bags or something!!!
@@RobynH oooh fun idea!!

@@RobynH it comes out every year so not old. It’s a beautiful scent. I think I’ll have to get the homeworx one because I’ll probably love it.

Great picks! Farmstand pumpkin and all the Farmstand fruit candles are great to try.
I had my eye on Farmstand Pumpkin! I will keep in mind that the farmstand ones are good ones, thanks!

Oh wow, score!!!!! 🙌
I’ll have to keep an eye out at Marshall’s next time I’m there!!

I think I need to make sure I get some Hot Cider Donut!
@@RobynH I think you’ll find it a fall version of the Benets. 🥰

That is definitely a great way to use them up!
Ps…. I love your too! ❤️❤️❤️
Isn’t a fortune in shipping to Canada?
Little bit, yup! Definitely have to order several things to justify the shipping cost.

Is White Birch much different from Birchwood Vanilla?
