Scentsy Review and Giveaway

***This contest is now closed. Congratulations Kristen! An email has been sent.***

Scentsy was founded in 2004 by Colette Gunnell and Kara Egan, two women who had the idea to design decorative warmers using melted wax from the heat of a light bulb rather than a traditional wick and flame. They were a small company based out of Utah which was eventually bought by Orville Thompson and his wife Heidi. Orville and Heidi moved the company to Idaho where they decided to market and sell Scentsy products to consumers through the use of home parties which has been extremely successful. Currently, Scentsy has 40,000 independent consultants and is recognized as an industry- leading company. What started out as a simple idea by two women has grown into a large company that reaches consumers from around the nation.

I was introduced to Scentsy for the first time by an independent consultant Erin Shiflett and I have to tell you I am very impressed! The main reason I love this product is the fact that I get the same effect and glow as I would from the flame of a candle but I don’t have to worry about leaving the room while it’s lit because the warmer is totally safe! I also love the fact that the aroma given off by the Scentsy bars (melted by the warmer itself) lasts long and fills up the entire room.

I reviewed the Wynken Scentsy Warmer from the Whimsey Collection. It has a curvaceous dish on the top with an embossed design and dot pattern on the outer part of the warmer. I especially like the high gloss finish and the detail of the handles. The Scentsy bars are placed in the top of the dish and when the warmer is plugged in, the light bulb inside not only presents a warm glow but also heats the bars in the dish giving off a wonderful scent! Here is a picture of my Scentsy warmer with some of the bars in the dish:

The three Scentsy Bars I reviewed were Cinnamon Vanilla, Home Sweet Home and Blueberry Cheesecake. Each one has its own distinct smell and they were all fabulous! Home Sweet Home I have to say right now is my favorite! If you ever had any reservations about lighting or keeping candles in your home, then Scentsy is the product line that you need to check out.

Comments

  17. I follow publicly- Lydia A.

    I would buy the Scentsy Plum Scentsy Warmer and the World Cup Scentsy Warmer, in time for the World Cup this summer!

  27. I am a PUBLIC BLOG follower.
    If I won, I would spend the $50 on a University of Kansas warmer and a Cherry Limeade brick.

  28. I would get the Riverbed Scentsy Warmer and the following Scentsy bars:
    Cutiepie Cupcake Scentsy Bar, Oxford Scentsy Bar, French Lavender Scentsy Bar and the Caramel Spice Scentsy Bar. They all sound so delicious!

  40. I have a warmer and love it. I would use my winnings for some Scensy Bars – Black Raspberry Vanilla, Lucky in Love, Sweet Clementime to name a few. Plus I would like to try a travel tin – CamuCamu.

  49. I see lots of scents I know I’d love like Taj Mahal, Red Chile Masala, Casablanca, Clove Cinnamon. I also see warmers that catch my eye like the Island Collection (especially Riviera) and the Smooth Stone Collection (especially love Jadestone). This would be a fun shopping experience.

  50. Oh forgot to say I am a follower on GFC but anyway—I follow your Tweets (@hopscotchlime)
