The Melt Crowd - Flamingo Candles



This year my Christmas presents from my parents featured finds from a Christmas event at the NEC, Birmingham that my mum and sister had attended. My absolute fave gift that had come from the show has to be a set of Flamingo wax melts. I'd never heard of Flamingo before, but as soon as I had a smell of each of the individually wrapped melts, I fell in love!


Flamingo Candles are a UK-based candle company, which uses eco-friendly soy wax, natural cotton wicks + produces every element of the finished product in their South Wales factory. The jar candles have an acrylic flamingo adorned on the front and retail at £12 each, with a burn time of up to 50 hours. Each wax melt costs £2 and burn for up to 30 hours. I find that wax melts are a lot more powerful than conventional jar candles, and particularly with Flamingo melts, I can smell the melt burning throughout my entire apartment!




My gorgeous set of 8 melts were arranged in this box and came complete with a red wax melt burner. Whilst my mum was able to choose which melts appeared inside my box, The Melt Crowd is a subscription which sends you 8 random fragrances every month through the post! Imagine it to be like the Birch Box or Graze Box of the candle world. To have an amazing selection of organic + beautifully scented wax melts delivered to your door sets you back only £10 a month, inc. delivery - giving you a saving of £8.95. You can cancel your subscription at anytime and the the slim-sized box can easily fit through your letter box meaning you don't have to be in when your candles arrive!




So far I've used two of my melts: 'oriental lotus + rose otto' and 'crème brûlée'. The former is a super fresh smell, which I put on after I'd cleaned my apartment. The crème brûlée smelt like vanilla custard and had a really comforting fragrance, perfect for cosy nights in.




The other fragrances to appear in my The Melt Crowd box are: 'Tropical Coconut Milk & Honey', 'Blackcurrant Jam', 'Sweet Lime + Cedar', 'Black Tea + Almond', 'Pina Colada', and 'Juicy Clementine'. Each smell absolutely amazing + I can't wait to use them all!


Flamingo is my new fave brand for candles. Combining a strong ethical stance with beautifully blended fragrances, Flamingo delivers on high quality + guilt-free candles, with unique + elaborate scents.
