NEWNESS UPDATE: Halloween Candles

-
So it seems BBW is not done with us for fall. We'll be treated to a trio of scary blood-curdling spine-chilling fragrances. BEHOLD!!!!

Courtesy of Lifeinsidethepage 

Vampire Blood - Blood Red Strawberry, Midnight Blooming Jasmine, Dark Transylvanian Plum (as you know, this based off the popular Halloween soap)

Purrfect Pumpkin - Purrrfect Pumpkin, Black Cat's Clove, Ghostly Vanilla, Batty Brown Sugar (repackage of Heirloom Pumpkin with, according to my gurl Jenn S/@theshow78, a lot of clove)
(based on the Halloween soap and pocketbac Purrfect Potion maybe?)

Boo - Moonlit Marshmallow, Eerie Vanilla, Terrifying Tonka (total repackage of Vanilla Bean Marshmallow...because well, of course! Possibly inspired by the Boo pocketbac)  

A little kitschy, a little campy but kinda cute

As you know, BBW does not have a good track record with soap based candles, they just never smell like the soap...I'm lookin at you Crisp Morning Air. However the few people I know who have sniffed/bought/burned it said that it smelled exactly like the soap. Miracles can happen!

Heirloom Pumpkin (aka Pumpkin Carving with more spice) is welcome return although we did just see Heirloom Pumpkin this past SAS. They should've just brought back Pumpkin Carving last year and call it day.

I was really hoping Boo would be the return of Blueberry Pumpkin Patch...which would make sense. But of course, BBW has to cater to the basic bitches of America and repackage the much over-hyped VBM.

Anyhoo, the 1.3oz minis have been popping up in non-test stores so keep your eyes peeled. 3wicks are supposedly gonna be released at the next floorset but don't quote me on that

MY LAST POST: End of an Era

-
Have you ever looked back at something in your life that you were once passionate about and/or obsessed with and over time, you found yourself not feeling the same way anymore? Perhaps sort of going thru the motions with it or just completely over it but not ready to admit it? That's how I feel about B&BW...more to the point, that's how I feel about talking about B&BW as a reviewer. I've mentioned before that I stopped posting regularly on IG. During last year's lockdown, I would pop my head in with a post or a story just to keep in touch a bit and show I was alive...only to see my post not get as much attention as they used to as well as also watching one follower after the next unfollow me. Apparently if you're not churning out daily content, folks can't be bothered with you, regardless of what's going on in your life. At the start of 2020, I had a little over 6000 followers (even that annoyed me as there were accounts who started later than me and

CANDLE RETROSPECTIVE: Brozeblogger's Top 20 Candles OF ALL TIME

-
Well dear readers, today's New Year's Eve - we're almost at the finish line and soon we'll be able to wave goodbye and not so fond farewell to the dumpster fire that was 2020. Normally, as per my own tradition, in honor of New Year's I would write a retrospective look back on the past year and list what I thought were the best new scents that were released. Obviously I couldn't do that this year - with the pandemic, I've been avoiding stores thus couldn't do my usual WALK N SNIFFs nor did I particularly buy very much as I'm not about that shipping/handling plus tax life. But as this this New Years hits a bit differently than past ones and is the beginning of a new decade, I thought I do something different. I thought I'd do a real retrospective and look back at some of my favorite scents spanning from my time as a review and as Bronzeblogger - some from now till back in 2013 when I started this blog. I'm gonna avoid seasonal rideordie loves l

NEWNESS UPDATE: Spring 2021 Candles

-
 Well we made it to 2021! I personally feel like the new year started last week on January 20th; the world got a little less crazy and I feel like I can breath again. No, things are certainly not ideal and nowhere near back to the normal but it's slowly getting there. I hadn't had much to say on here lately. I didn't engage in any SAS shenanigans for obvious reasons. Besides a few wf bulbs during the most recent sale, I haven't really bought anything. I've kinda just been laying low and slimming down my collection as I'm not about the collecting/stocking up life anymore; either burning things or giving and/or selling them away. Occasionally I peep my head into social media to see what's poppin and what newness (that I won't get to see or smell for myself to review) is heading our way. I debated whether or not it was worth posting a newness update; after putting it off and hemmingandhawwing, I decided I might as well. So here we are. So as you may (or may
