Donna was having a Memorial day sale on her 1oz scalloped tarts that made them $0.70 each. Can't beat that! Also, I had suggested adding a fourth "sampler pack" of tarts with an island theme. And guess what?!....She added it! I was very impressed that she listens to her customers suggestions so closely.
Tropical Island Sampler:
(This comes with 12 single tarts for a great price of $8.95! It also comes packaged in a cute little canvas bag.)
- Banana Island - This reminds me exactly of those hard candy bananas that you used to get out of the bubble machine for a quarter when you were a kid. I wouldn't call it an authentic banana smell, but more of a candy banana smell. Still very nice and summer-ie!
- Coconut Milk & Lavender - Yum! This is a very pretty smell. I haven't melted it yet, but on cold sniff you definitely pick up on the lavender. Not much of the coconut comes through, but I have a pretty good feeling that will come with melting it.
- Plumeria Milk - This is a very nice floral scent, however still somewhat tropical. I also love the fact that it's a gorgeous soft purple color.
- Jamaica Me Crazy - This scent rocks! It's a great, sharp citrus scent that is very reminiscent of a nice, fruity margarita.
- Beach Daisies - This is one of my favorites. It is a nice, light beach scent that (to me) has hints of an almost sunscreen smell mixed with some soft florals.
- Papaya Clafouti - Again, this is another great scent. You definitely pick up on the papaya, but a orange/citrus scent comes through pretty strongly as well. Very nice.
- Perfect Pineapple - This lives up to it's name! Oh my goodness, this is nice! It is an authentic pineapple smell that is very strong. This is a definite re-order for me!!
- Leslie's Paradise Island - I have previously reviewed this during my last order, so if you'd like to read about it, please go check that out.
- Cocoa Cabana Type - This is another one that I pick up hints of sunscreen from. Very nice scent that is hard to describe...other than "beachy"
- Mary's Margaritas - This one is going to be fun to melt. It smells just like a delicious margarita!
- Monkey Bubbles - I definitely smell the same candy-banana scent from the Banana Island tart, but much softer. I think that once it's melted I will be able to pick up on the other fruity scents listed in the description.
- Salty Sea Air - This is a very unique scent. On cold sniff, I mainly get the salty scent, but I can already tell that I will get more of the ozone hints when it's melting.
Other tarts:
- Farmhouse Spearmint - Wow! This is exactly the same smell as spearmint gum...only stronger! If you like that type of smell, you'll be in heaven with this one!
- Honey I Scrubbed The Kids - This is another favorite of mine! It's a little hard to describe, but it's almost like a clean soap. However it's NOT the harsh perfume-ie smell of soap/detergent that I hate. It is very nice and fresh.
- Watermelon Kiwi - This is one of the freebies that Donna threw in for me. It smells amazing and I WISH I'd seen it on her site when I was placing an order! I will most definitely re-order this in larger quantities next time. It's just a very nice, fruity smell that just screams "summer picnic!"
- Cool Citrus Basil - This is the second freebie that was included. I was a little hesitant when I read the name, as I wasn't sure how well the basil would smell with citrus. I usually associate basil with Italian food...not fruit! However, when I took a whiff...I loved it! I don't pick up much of the basil scent, so I think it's mainly in there to compliment the citrus. I also kind of get the soapy scent in this one somewhat. I definitely like this one and I'm glad she threw it in!
- Luscious lemon - I'm usually pretty hesitant with ordering lemon scents because I've gotten quite a few that smell like floor cleaner to me. Not this one! This is an amazing, true lemon scent that's very powerful. I like this a lot and again, am very happy that Donna threw this in for me as a freebie!
Overall, I've been very happy with Can-Do-Candles! I have yet to find a gripe about them! The only thing I wish is that they still made jar candles, because I know I'd love some of these scents in a candle, too!
I ordered these tarts on Monday...during a sale, no less. And I had them at my door by Thursday! What an amazing turn-around-time!! If you're a tart lover like myself...you can't go wrong with this site!
