Haul | Rosegirls (1)

This post have been sitting in my drafts folder for quite some time because I have this OCD need to schedule my posts so that there is something regularly popping up on the blog as I wait between my haul shipments. But I finally decided to pull the trigger on this one because I am this close to getting all my June & July shopping into my PO Box. Just waiting for one more Glitterati flash sale lot (Yes, I won! More about that in an upcoming post!) and a couple of my best friend's shopping packages to reach. Then BAM! I am going to be in set in wax for at least till the end of the year.

So, my first ever Rosegirls haul! I managed to net myself an Assorted sampler at the April sampler-only opening. I was about the 50th person in line and I waited 2 months to my turn. I think Rosegirls have managed to get through half the list at this point of time. It makes me wonder if they should have focused a little more on the sampler list between the end of the January orders and the start of the June orders, because at this rate, the last person on the list might have waited abut 7-8 months. :(

I am really happy with my sampler. It's good mix of bakery, fruity bakery and florals. Melting through this will probably help me a lot in figuring out my next custom order with Rosegirls. I am still nervous with blending but I am definitely going to try my hand at it in future.


Absolute Monster Cookie Fluff Puffs Monster Cookie chunks and Absolute Coffee chunks, overpoured with our Marshmallow Smoothie.
This is pretty yummy, I can see why it's one of RG's most popular blends. The cookie and coffee notes are equally blended and delicious together.

Blackberry Cotton Candy Waffle Cone Cotton Candy Frosting chunks with a Waffle Cone overpour.
The blackberry comes through pretty strongly and there's a sweetness enveloping it.

Bodacious Bowser Dunk My Donut, Monster Cookie, Waffle Cone and a surprising twist of crisp Green Apple
This is a really interesting scent blend, I never would have thought about green apple and bakery blends. I am also surprised that the Green Apple is pretty dominant and snakes it way through the bakery. I like this a lot!

Cotton Candy Frosting Smoothie Rich creamy frosting flavoured with a strong base of sugary sweet cotton candy confection + Marshmallow smoothie.
I am not one for super sweet scents so I am not too sure about this one. I can slightly detect the milky Marshmallow Smoothie scent note.

Delicate Daisy Bombshell (VS Type) and Cotton Candy Frosting
I have never smelled Bombshell before but I am getting a sweet, floral perfume-y note. The Cotton Candy Frosting softens the perfume-y scent and I quite like it.

Earth Angel Sweet Lavender Chunks / Sinfully Sweet Pops chunks / Vanilla Ice Cream
I am so glad to receive a chunk in Earth Angel, there were so many raves on the RG FB page but the scent blend didn't call out to me when I was going through the scent list so I am glad to have a chance to try it. It's really really nice, the Sweet Lavender is the strongest scent and it's just slightly herbal.


Lemon Noel Smoothie 
I couldn't find an exact scent description but I think it's pretty self-explanatory, Lemon + Marshmallow Noel + Marshmallow Smoothie. One of my faves from this order, the Lemon is sugary sweet after being blended with VBN and Marshmallow Smoothie but still with a tinge of citrus acidity.

Marilyn's Magarita Marilyn (A fun and flirtatious scent) + Magarita (Vanilla, lime and lemon magarita with a dash of salt)
Super lime-y! It makes me want a magarita right now!

Nilla Strawberry Noel
I think this might be a customer blend. The Nilla is a wafer type scent if I am not wrong. I mostly get the Nilla wafer and a little bit of strawberry (which is a little plasticky but I have come to associate that with most strawberry scents).

Oooh La La Custom blend of Pink Sugar Cookie and Vanilla Musk
The pink sugar and vanilla musk are pretty equally blended, sometimes I get a stronger whiff of the Pink Sugar, sometimes I get a stronger whiff of the Vanilla Musk. I don't smell much cookie which is good by me.

Over The Moon Custom blend of Hurricane Daiquiri and Raspberry Sauce chunks with a Vanilla Ice Cream overpour
I can mostly smell a sweet fruity scent from this chunk. Not my favourite of the sampler.

Pomegranate Watermelon Smoothie
Probably another customer blend, I smell mainly Pomegranate and the Watermelon notes. I am a little wary of Pomegranate from the Love Potion No.9 chunk I melted earlier, hopefully better luck with this one.


Pink Sugar, Blue Sugar and Royal Sugar Cookies
I have never tried a Pink and Blue Sugar blend and I think I kind of like it! I can also smell the sweet, homely scent of cookies.

Raspberry Lilac Lilac Lane chunks are over poured with our Raspberry Sauce
Wow, this is so strong, the scent hits you right in the face when I opened the baggy. The lilac definitely overwhelms the raspberry but I think the lilac scent is so authentic and gorgeous!

Raspberry Peach Tea Raspberry Sauce chunks, Peach chunks with an overpour of White Tea (BBW type
Mmm, another favourite of the sampler! The raspberry and peach chunks are strong and fruity, and the White Tea ties them all together with a soft floral undertone.

Raspberry Streuselkuchen Raspberry bits blended with Streuselkuchen
I was so glad to see a Streuselkuchen blend in my sampler! I really want to try this so-popular scent from RG but I don't have the courage to get it myself. The Raspberry helps to soften the Streuselkuchen which is pretty spicy to my nose. I am looking forward to trying this out!

Strawberry Mint Ice Cream Strawberry Jam chunks, Peppermint chunks and Vanilla Ice Cream overpour
I don't even really like Mint Ice Cream in real life but somehow I really like it in wax form. When I first smelled this, I remember the Strawberry was a lot stronger but now I barely smell it and the Mint Ice Cream is really strong!

Wildberry and Sweet Lemon Confection Wildberry + Decadent sweet lemon custard whipped to a creamy and smooth finish.
This was the largest chunk I received in the sampler and I am so glad because this is my absolute favourite from this sampler. The Sweet Lemon Confection is so so so yummy!

  1. Great sampler!!! I am excited for you that your favorite was the largest chunk! Small things like that make for good days. Bodacious Bowser is one I have been curious to sniff. Glad to read your thoughts on it. I made a white tea blend with mango and raspberry. I hope it is as good. Enjoy your smellies!!

    1. Bodacious Bowser is definitely unique in its own, I hope I like it warm as much as I like it cold. Your white tea combo sounds yummy, I enjoyed Crabby's take on White Tea & Mango, so I am sure this one will be great!

  2. Awesome sampler, Michelle! Love everything you got. Lemon Noel Smoothie is one of my favorite RG scents, too! Marilyn's Magarita sounds so good. Strawberry Mint Ice Cream is a huge favorite by lots of RG lovers, I'm going to need to try that one eventually. Raspberry Lilac, ohhhh so good. Sweet and slightly powdery and floral. Lovely for a hot summer day! Hope you love everything, can't wait to see how these perform for you!!
