Thank you Foton Candle for sending us a Sweetheart Gift Set to review!
Candles have so many purposes. They can be used as a light source in a power outage or if they are scented they can be used as air fresheners. Many people use candles to set a romantic atmosphere. In a pinch they make a safe gift choice for someone who is hard to buy for. When shopping, I love smelling different candles when walking past them in the store.
After a candle is spent, you often have a glass container that no longer serves a purpose. With Foton Pearled Candles you can pour them into a previously used candle container, add a supplied wick and you have a working candle again! Or if you have a (fire-safe) container that you would like to turn into a candle, it's now possible with Foton Pearled Candles.
We were sent the Sweetheart Gift Set which incudes 18oz of white wax pearls which is enough to fill a 30oz container. Three sample packs of maroon, red, and baby pink pearls are also provided to assist in creating fun designs. Thirty wicks are included which take about twelve hours to burn apiece. You should get around one hundred and twenty hours of burn time with this set. Multiple candle scents (or scent free!) are available including:
Breezy Blanket – For those who like the smell of line-dried laundry
Dreamy Dunes – Delight in the succulent aroma of cactus flowers
Festive Fir – Enjoy the aroma of a freshly cut Christmas tree all year round!
Lazy Lulu – Tropical flower paradise
Misty Monte – Fragrance infused with sandalwood and jasmine
Mulled Magic – Berries and cinnamon will make your home smell delicious
Snowy Cider – Who doesn't love the smell of apple cider and gingerbread?
Tailored Tux – A masculine and sophisticated fragrance for those who don't want girly candles
We were sent the Lazy Lulu scent and it smelled nice. Maybe it was the consistency of the small wax pearls that threw me off, but in my opinion it smelled more like powered laundry soap than tropical flowers. My husband is sensitive to fragrances and did not like the smell of the candle. My son and his friend were no fans of it either. Since a container wasn't provided, I managed to find one in my kitchen cabinet that worked well. I like how clean burning these candles are and there is very little wax wasted after it's done burning.
Color samples are available for $2.99 but their purpose is for a visual check and not for burning or sampling the available scents. There's a scent sampler available for $14.99. If I were to choose a scent, I would be curious to try the Mulled Magic or Snowy Cider next. Gift sets range from $35 to $150.
