Scentsy Empties May 2024
Let’s chat Scentsy empties - my thoughts and performance as well as scent descriptions.
There’s a discussion question at the end of the video featuring cotton clean ups.

Team bring back the large cotton clean-ups! I really like BRV Sangria. And I feel the same about blooming marvelous. It’s so good but just so very light. Great empties! 🎉

Love the garth brooks story my daughter is a survivor of shaken baby, his daughter Ally Colliene heard of my daughters story and reached out and dedicated to her, my youngest son is named Brooks

Wow. So nice of them
The large size cotton clean ups performed so much better. I usually put the recommended cubes of wax as indicated on the warmer dish and if I do, I need to use minimum 2 cotton clean ups per each full size warmer. You go through them a lot quicker. Scentsy is getting expensive and nowadays it might be worth just picking up a few huge bags of cottonballs from dollarama at this point.

I tend to just use cotton for non Scentsy wax. I try to take advantage of Scentsys consistency by letting it cool down and scooping it out with my fingers once it’s pliable
Same thing with the Garth Brooks concert happened to my sisters and I! We moved from the nose-bleeds to the 3rd row. So great!

I love Blue. I remember putting it in my teen sons' bedroom, and like magic they started cleaning their rooms without even being told. I want that scent back. It is like magic. So mad I didn't club it. Pink Cotton is a forever club scent for me.

I think I bought 10 Blue bars in a flash sale a while back and had 2 before that, and this is the first one I ever melted from my hoarded wax. It’s so good.
I’m hoping Scentsy will listen to us and bring back the large cotton clean ups and also keep the small ones. The small ones are a waste of money for me.

Shut Eye is so beautiful! What I wouldn't give to have that back. We need to see more collection bars up for voting! You always remind me to use my diffuser when you show oil empties. It's on everyday because it's pretty but I'm terrible at diffusing 😄 I still have that whole summer collection oil set from 2021 so I paused your video to go put Sandal Season in. It's floral so I don't really like it and need to get through it. You're cute, you know I have a bar of Toffee Butter Crunch waiting in the wings whenever you need it 😘

When no one is home I turn off warmers, so that’s a couple days a week during the school year typically. Those are the days I diffuse so at least I come home to a bit of scent. So you likely won’t see any oil empties until September from me since Erica finished university late April and she’s home often.

@@PatriciaG-NosetoToes I shut my warmers off when I'm not home too. I remember you mentioning diffusing when you aren't home a couple of years back and started to do the same and then it fell by the wayside. I really need to remember to diffuse, thanks again for the reminder! 😊

I have the pods on my “to buy” list
Many are smelling that vitamin note in Chamomile Vanilla too! I could smell it in my sample, but as it’s sat, I don’t smell it as much. I had Tangerine Sugarcane hand soap, but didn’t love it. I mixed it with a bottle of Mrs Meyers Daisy and LOVED it!!! As for cotton clean ups, I never really used them so I don’t have a preference. My opinion is that they should offer both sizes because they’re just too tiny for large warmers. Super fun empties and stories. It’s not rambling, it’s fun conversation 💛
@PatriciaG-NosetoToes
Ай бұрын
I’ll keep telling myself that (about the rambling)
I warmed the last of my Chamomile Vanilla yesterday & I smelled a ‘chewable vitamins’ note in that bar too. Not a fan. I hoard my favourites & getting them quarterly doesn’t help. I love Pink Haze it’s a club bar for me. I refuse to buy the small cotton cleanups. I use to treat myself to the larger ones using them to clean up my living room warmers but now I’m sticking to the soft scoop method or cotton balls. I’m not sure if they have Dollarama stores in Nova Scotia but that’s where I get mine. The cotton balls are large & they’re only $1.25 a bag. Not sure what Scentsy was thinking. I love watching “Scents-actional Fun” Angie too! She seems so genuine & listening to her is relaxing.
@PatriciaG-NosetoToes

Yes I do buy the Dollarama cotton balls. I use them for vendor wax more so than Scentsy
Great empties - I will try the Bloomin pods! So weird to me how some pods smell nothing like their matching wax. I liked Jammin Jubilee much more than Berry Sweet. Berry isn’t my favorite scent in general but JJ did pair well with some Blueberry Cheesecake, esp on day 2 it was nice. I can’t do the cool down method bc I get busy every time and forget to go back within the window of “pliability” lol - new word! Love the Garth story - that’s one to tell the grandkids 😊

Good alternative for those missing GG. Also, since the Black Raspberry version is more mild in nature maybe it would have a bigger melting season.
When the price for the large size cotton clean ups jumped up, I only got them with party rewards. Same with these small ones - if there is nothing else I want I will get some with rewards. I think cotton balls do just as well and, to me, are more useful than the small clean-ups.

I prefer the full size. I probably won’t repurchase them. I will just buy cotton balls if I need too. I normally do the cool down method with my wax though. Great empties! I love Blue as well. I kicked it out of my club and chose Atlantic Air.. had to make some tough cuts 😂

Yes the cool down method is my preferred way to change Scentsy wax too. It’s got that built in feature of being the perfect consistency so I figure best to take advantage.
I got a pack of the mini cotton clean ups half priced in my club to try, and won’t be getting them anymore. I was able to get the full sized ones to work in my mini warmers no problem and still clean out 4 warmers. Now I can only get 2 mini warmers, and hot dump the other 2 dishes. Please bring back the full sized ones!

I just started dating in Jan 2022. The others before that I did guesses from my purchase history
I had a gut feeling that the new cotton cleanups would be a bust. Because I loved the performance of the original size, I went a little coo-coo and kept ordering them thru club before they got dropped like a hot potato. I think I ended up with about 25 packages and I'm super happy about it!! I'll use my Dollar General super jumbo cotton balls over the small cleanups.

I did not like sea breeze on cold at all! It reminded me of a gas station air freshener on cold 😣But now that you said that it might be a cyclamen similar to luxe vanilla I’ll definitely be warming it to see if it changes from what I get on cold. 🤞🏼

I’m guessing that’s the similar note. I really am not sure of what Cyclamen smells like but on warm I get some Luxe Vanilla in there
I like the small cotton clean ups for mini warmers, however, I do think the original ones are better for.medium sized warmers. I am now using cotton balls a lot cheaper. I wish I had clubbed Arctic Kiss it is a strong all round scent for me.

I use cotton balls I buy from the store. I have not tried the smaller scentsy ones. I don’t care for the large ones. I felt like I wasted half of it because they were too big for a lot of the times I needed to use it. Then the wax would harden and I couldn’t use it. I got so used to cotton balls from the store that I use them instead 🤷🏻♀️
@PatriciaG-NosetoToes
Ай бұрын
With the large ones if there’s still lots of room to soak up more wax just put it aside, let it harden. The next time you need it peel off the holding tab and use that side to absorb another warmer. (Just a tip - Assuming you have any left)
