Candy Panda Wax
Tuesday, May 08, 2018
It's been a hot minute since I posted a wax review roundup, so I thought it was time to share all of the Candy Panda Wax I've been melting over the last few months. I have a habit of trying a little of everything, so sometimes it takes a bit for me to melt enough from each brand to generate enough info worth posting.
Before we dive into each scent review I wanted to note a few things I really like about Candy Panda Wax. First off, they sell their wax in "mini" scent shots. They retail for $5 for 4 ounces which is distributed across five mini wax shots. If you have a wax buddy, this is a great way to try scents without committing to a ton of the same scent. Not only are they easy to share, I find that about half a shot is the perfect amount for any of my warmers. I like only having to cut wax once (or less) so this is a huge perk for me personally.
