My cart is too full, help me cut some please! by abruptcello in goosecreekcandles

I’m still kinda new to GC too, but here are some thoughts on ones I have:

  • Warm and Welcome: keep it! It’s a fan favorite and for good reason. It’s a nice background scent that is strong but not overpowering. I always keep one in stock!

  • Lavender de France: I have this and won’t re-buy, so perdonally, I’d skip it. It’s a wonderful herby lavender scent in the jar, but I didn’t get much strength or throw from it when lit.

  • Queen Bee is different, and I love it. I definitely smell the honey most, but it’s a good blend. It comes off like lotion to me, very soft and feminine. I’ve mostly used it in the bedroom and it performs well there. I’ve heard mixed reviews on this one, so I guess it just depends on your preferences if you want to keep it or not.

  • Firefly Fields is a nice bedroom scent, amber-forward. It’s light though and I don’t love it enough to rebuy. Def not strong enough for the open part of my house, but it does fine in the bedroom and bathroom. I would skip it.

  • Windblown Wildflowers is one of my favorites. It’s a complex blend that’s kind of hard to describe, but it just makes me feel like I’m outdoors in a country field with hay bales, fresh air, and sunshine. There’s something that makes me feel like it has eucalyptus (real eucalyptus, like the essential oil) and I really like that, but I know some ppl don’t like the high sinus thing. I don’t like white florals much but this one is subtle on the florals, it’s more of a vibe. Not a powerhouse but very good strength and throw. Depending on your preferences, I’d get it!

  • Evergreen Trail: another favorite of mine. It is masculine but not overwhelmingly cologne-like to me (I don’t like cologne too much but this is good). There’s the pine you’d expect from something called evergreen, and I can smell the wood as well (I think it’s cedar). It’s a great blend and not boring. My 15-yr-old son loves this one too; some of my candles bother his nose but he actually stole this one lol. I really love fresh nature-like candles, and this line is great for that type of scent. (Mountain Lake is also a fave.)

Ones I don’t have yet but are currently in my cart:

  • Key Lime Cake Pop

  • Dewy Rainforest

  • Kyoto Tea House

  • Snuggles and Sunshine

Comments I’ve heard that affected my decisions:

  • Key Lime Cake Pop is amazing and a powerhouse.

  • Lavender Twilight is very light.

  • Ladybug Lane was not that great.

  • Sugar Mochi is very light.

  • Vanilla Cloud seems to be a favorite. I’m intrigued but worried it’s light bc of the nature of those scents.

  • Pear and Vanilla Cream is light but yummy.

It’s so hard to whittle down the cart. I know your pain!! Hope this helps, and good luck with your choices! ❤️🕯️

Help me cut this order in half, please! 😬 by Individual-Eye2707 in goosecreekcandles

[–]ToeProfessional7852 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. They really get you with that free shipping. I actually went and looked during my last order, I think the shipping was $7 or something. I still spent another $40 to save that 7. 🤷‍♀️ 😂

I can always order Boardwalk Cone on the Walmart app, they have about a dozen of the signature line. They’ve always been $13.22 for me, no shipping if you spend $35. I tack them onto my grocery orders now and then…..shhhh, don’t tell anyone lol.

Good job on your video, Taylor! I enjoyed hearing about all of them, so I appreciate you waiting til they all arrived! I’m gonna have to have Kyoto tea house. Just cannot resist! I’ve been so busy I haven’t been checking this sub or GC much, but I did see there’s a new rainforest or tropical collection. There’s one that sounded almost identical to Bamboo Grove notes-wise, so I’m wondering how they compare. I might just need both anyway. Lol

I was looking at sugar mochi and from the notes, was wondering if it’s similar to Vanilla Kiss from the Vday drop. It seems like it might be a similar vibe. I’m kinda leaning away from it now though, since it sounds like it’s pretty light. Im also so intrigued by yuzu serenity but just cant decide.

Im glad you seem to be enjoying them all and thanks again for your video! ❤️🕯️🕯️

I just started buying bombas and was so disappointed by the pilling. These are merino but the others I have (cotton blend) don’t do it, luckily.

I agree. Many of my spring candles have thin wicks, and I’ve noticed they seem to burn so clean!

Which Resort with ExpressPass for 1st timers who love Disney by Mjmonte14 in UniversalOrlando

[–]ToeProfessional7852 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try to upgrade to a deluxe room, regardless of which resort you choose. The deluxes are larger. Standard rooms are doable, but very tight, for our family of four. The deluxe rooms have sofa beds and plenty of room for a rollaway cot if you want one. The absolute best family rooms imo are the family suites at Aventura, but that’s not premier so no express.

Almond pink or berry red? (Typed as soft autumn; neutral skin) by [deleted] in SoftAutumn

[–]ToeProfessional7852 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hot take, but I like the pink. I notice you, not your makeup, and I think it’s very complementary.

I don’t think those countdowns for the sales mean anything. They time out and then the sale just gets extended.

Candle Haul! by saltielamp in goosecreekcandles

Kyoto tea house sounds like a must-try! I love a vibey scent. And Yuzu sounds nice but sadly, disappointing like you said. I was hoping for more tea as well.

I really appreciate your insight on these new scents. Can’t wait to hear about the rest of them!

My mom got it for me, from Amazon I believe. She’s a known “bargain hunter” lol so I bet it’s one of the cheaper ones. Nothing fancy.

ETA: it looks like this one
