Christi's Creations Candle and Wax Review

I started this “Pay It Forward” series to give back to small businesses who give so much to us. I wanted to feature everything, from the personalized service to the hard work put in to create such beautiful products. The next small business perfectly embodied what the “Pay It Forward” series was all about.

My Experience with Christi’s Creations!

Now that you know just how great of an owner Christi is, let’s talk about my experience with Christi’s Creations’ candles and wax tarts. Throughout the years, I’ve been buying wax, I’ve always gravitated towards the fresh and floral scents. There’s just something about having my house smell like Spring, in the middle of a winter blizzard in Buffalo, NY that I just couldn’t get past. When it came to this series and working with candle and wax companies, I knew, in order to see just how talented they are in creating beautiful scents, I had to expand my horizons. Taking the leap into the food/drink wax scents and all of those other great wax scent categories, was the best decision I could have made. When it came time to choose scents, I chose to go with scents that I had heard so many other wax fanatics talk about, but hadn’t yet tried.

Banana Nut Bread Wax Tarts

Banana Nut Bread Wax Tart: This yummy wax scent brought one of my favorite treats to life. The banana bread wax tart on cold sniff brought memories of pulling fresh baked banana bread right out of the oven. Not long after popping this delicacy in the wax warmer, my home was filled with a delicious scent that could compete with any bakery.

Love Spell Wax Tart: Most of people know about Victoria Secret’s Love Spell scent and with all the wonderful things I’ve heard, I thought I’d give it a try. Boy am I glad I did! On cold sniff, the berries and floral scents popped out, truly intoxicating you with a love spell. This magical moment only continues when you put this yummy tart in the warmer.

Why I love Christi’s Creations’ Wax Tarts: It may just be me, but I’m all about the labels and packaging when it comes to candles and wax tarts. I feel it says a lot about a company, no matter who they are and what they sell. If your packaging doesn’t look good, what does that say about your products? Christi takes pride in her work and it shows from her packaging and labels. Both the wax tarts and candles were very secure and beautifully labeled. She has unique labels for each wax tarts which is different from most wax companies. You’ll typically see a label with the company’s name and the scent, but Christi makes sure to put a unique picture on each tart. Banana Nut Bread had a picture of the delicious treat, Love Spell had a heart with a beautiful design, and all of the other scents she offers come with their own unique labels. It’s those extra little touches that I love.

Lemongrass Soy Tin Candle: Instead of sending me a Lemongrass wax tart, Christi’s Creations was kind enough to send me this scent in a soy tin candle. This clean and fresh lemon scent was sharp, but very soothing. I decided to alternate lighting this candle between the kitchen and the bathroom. Walking into these rooms, especially in the mornings, gave off such an invigorating scent, and was the perfect start to my days.

Why I love Christi’s Creations’ Candles: Christi uses different labels on her candles than she does her wax tarts, but they’re just as unique. On the soy tin candle lid, you’ll find a picture of your candle scent, along with a link to both Christi’s Creations’ Etsy Shop and Facebook Page. Why do I love this? Well I’m a mom of two and I forget things on a daily basis, whether it’s where I put my car keys or where I left my glasses (which are usually right on top of my head). I have Christi’s Creations saved under my favorites in a folder I labeled “Best Candle and Wax Companies,” but the chances of forgetting that, may be pretty good. Instead of spending time searching, I can now just head over to the kitchen, bathroom or the candle shelf and grab my yummy soy tin candle top.
