- Thank you so much for joining me! I forgot to mention I got the Spiced Eggnogg and Vanilla Cinnamon Maple at their Christmas release and I picked up the Blue Grotto and Black Raspberry Vanilla in Scentsy Club Shipments (where you can choose from a selection of popular scents Scentsy makes available to club members!)

I agree vanilla waves would be great. I’m dying for a amazon rain brick!!
I have heard so many ask for Amazon Rain in a brick! I hope that does happen soon! I would love to see more “regular” scents released as limited time bricks or something…
Thanks for watching 😊
You're so sweet Alex, It was nice to learn a little more about you. I really enjoyed this! 🥰 My husband's family comes from Orillia, small world! 😊 I currently have 16 bricks but should be down to 15 by the end of the month. I tend to use my mixing bricks the most, Vanilla Bean Buttercream/Sugar Cookie, and like the idea of picking one day a week to work on the others! My brick dream list would be: Snuggle Up, Vanilla Oud, Pumpkin Cinnamon Swirl & Caramel Apple Craze! Thanks so much for sharing 💕
It is a small world! That’s funny to hear, I really liked living in Orillia - smaller than where I live now! Oo with 16 you must have a nice assortment! 😯
I love that the holiday brick collection comes out but buying a brick in something I’m unsure of definitely stops me from buying them often… I have been tempted to get some in clearance but I didn’t jump on them. I think scents to mix with is the best reason to buy a brick because hopefully it will get used frequently. Oh man, I just saw that they are retiring Vanilla Waves this fall 😖 I love that one on it’s own and as a mixer… so curious how the new Frosted Vanilla will smell as a replacement ( I don’t know the scent notes I just saw the names listed in the workstation in the news)
Oo! I’m sad I took Snuggle Up out of my club, 🤞 I really hope it’s a voting option for a future BBMB because I think it would be a popular voting option too! Ooo, Vanilla Oud, such a great one and the other two would also make good bricks, I wonder if I’d melt them enough in brick form 🤔
Thanks so much for watching 🥰
@@AlexandraWaxwithAlex Sending you a message on Insta 😉
Alex I enjoyed your video! You are too adorable - "as my brain trails off to other things" 🤣🤣 and yes, we've all had that happen! 🤔 I envy you your digital skills, with the music, text-on-screen, cool thumbnails and other things that I don't know how to do. 🤪I love bricks but am trying to avoid them except for holiday, because they are just SO MUCH WAX. I have only two and I am hoarding (Marshmallow Mint Cocoa and Walnut Raisin Muffin). Thank you for sharing your chopping process and some details about yourself! ❤️🥰
Aw, thank you Amy, you’re too kind 🤗
I’m so wishing I had kept Marshmallow Mint Cocoa 😋 in my club - I hope we see it again in the future! 🤞 and Walnut Raisin Muffin is so yummy too!
Haha, I hope you had a giggle (you always give me a giggle ☺️)
Thanks for commenting and watching friend 💙
I would love another brick of Walnut Raisin Muffin. Would love Apple Butter Frosting in a brick also!! Thanks for sharing! Enjoy your weekend!💕
Oh Walnut Raisin Muffin is so decadent and yummy 😋! That would be another great one, and Apple Butter Frosting, especially IF they don’t bring it back in the fall!
Thanks so much for sharing and watching ☺️
No bricks for me. I had Luna and coconut lemongrass but I struggled to get through them and by the end of the brick I almost hated the scents even tho lemongrass is my favorite scent in the world!! So I told myself no more bricks!!
It’s funny how we can get like that when overloaded with the same scent… sort of cause our own dislike of it 😕
Thank you for sharing and watching 😊
I just came across this one.
I’m struggling with my bricks from the Vanilla Cinnamon Maple year as well. I don’t love any of them, and they are mostly not year round for me. So for 2022 I was more choosey and just got the ones I thought I would actually like and I’m much happier having them.
I adore bricks in scents I love to mix, such as Sugar Cookie & Vanilla Bean Buttercream, because I go through them that much faster!
If I could have a brick of Lemon Sorbet and Vanilla Cream, I’d be very happy!
This was so fun! I enjoy your editing!
Hehe, thanks ☺️
Enjoying your videos Ashley! Idk exactly how many bricks I have, but if I chop them up I tend to reach for them. Keep up the good work!
I feel the same, chopped bricks = more use!
Love your videos! No bricks for me, we don't have them here in the UK yet but I heard a juicy bit of gossip that we are getting some for Christmas this year! I agree with you though, I'd have to love the scent to buy a brick it in.. but I think I'd love one because I've seen so many of you guys have them on UA-cam! Brick envy 🤣🤣 x
Wow, I think a lot of people in the UK would go crazy over Holiday Bricks! 🤞🏻 I can definitely understand that feeling of missing out, hopefully there will be a couple of scents that sound perfect for you! 😄
Thank you for watching and commenting 😊
Enjoyed your video. I have one brick of walnut raisin muffin I got in clearance and honestly I haven’t even used it because I smell a cigarette note whenever I sniff it and that killed it for me. Since this was my first brick, I haven’t been interested in buying any more. I might try and mix it with something vanilla and see if that helps tone down the cigarette.
Oh no! That’s too bad! I love that scent, maybe not a full brick of it… that might take me some time to warm through! I’ve never had a cigarette note from it but sometimes I wonder if they aren’t more compromised to adopting other fragrances just due to their size 🤷♀️
Thanks for watching 😄
I was just about to comment I buy a lot of bricks because I’m obsessed with them!! But I’m so bad about using them so I have to pick a day and dedicate or I’ll never use 🤣
Picking a day is a perfect idea for it though! (except when you forget that was your plan like me 🤣) I need to put another calendar up for just wax info 😂
I love all of your spreadsheets and lists too😍 I like lists 😆
(Speaking of bricks did you hear R2 are getting Marshmallow Mint Cocoa in their catalog 💚 I hope we will see it at some point too 🤞🏻)
Hey there! I’m new to scentsy and I’ve created a channel , still learning! I just joined March 30, 2022! I just did a live stream on my vip page for smell mail. I think I’ll start doing them on here. Anyway, I appreciate you sharing! 💜
Fabulous, can’t wait to see more of your videos Justine! 👍🏻😃 Thank for watching 💜
Great video!
😊 Thanks
Girl you better add vanilla waves to the club it’s not coming back in this fall winter catalog
I AM!! 🤣
I think I’ll replace my Cashmere Corduroy bars with Vanilla Waves - it’s such a goodie!!
Thank you 😄
I only have 3 bricks.
Vanilla bean buttercream
Blueberry Cheesecake
Luna
I find my bricks are lighter than regular sized bars, that’s why I only have 3. And also, it’s hard for me to get through bricks because they are SO BIG 🤣
I wonder if the ratio is sometimes not perfect between bar to brick and possibly that they need much longer to cure … on the bottom my Black Raspberry Vanilla smelled fantastic!
Thanks for sharing and commenting ☺️
I have a lot of bricks because I use to buy them for the cost. I would use a half off in my club and pay 16.00 for a brick which is over 5.5 bars you can’t beat that! I am now over the bricks and I don’t want anymore as I have found they don’t perform as well as the bars.
I was finding that initially with my bricks, but I think after they’ve cured for some months that they really have improved! Also the cooler weather could have an effect on their performance as well 🤷🏼♀️ I hope if you buy bricks in the future that they have proper strength to begin with though… having to wait is a bummer 😅
Thanks Jessica 😊
Im not sure I would get bricks its just a little bit too big 🤭. We've never had bricks (I think)in R2 but I heard we will get the holiday bricks this year? I think the only kind of Brick I would consider would be one I use to mix all the time like vanilla bean buttercream.
I would also want Sugar cookie and vanilla waves could be good too 😀
I was thinking that while editing this that R2 and R3 haven’t had bricks I believe (that is a bit exciting about the rumour of getting holiday ones! 😯) I know I’ve heard other regions requesting them. If it was a scent I knew I LOVED or would be used as a mixer I’d jump on another brick (as you’ve mentioned, I think that is probably the best reason to purchase a brick!)
The amount of wax though, is a bit intimidating - and no wonder you feel like you accomplished something by finishing one of those giant things 😆
Thank you so much for sharing and watching 💕
I probably have 15 bricks. I don't tend to use them that often. I think the reason is that I have so many bars that I want to try and get through , so my bricks get ignored.
Wow, 15 that’s quite the collection! (but they do start to add up fast!) I especially find that if they aren’t cut I don’t dig into them, but I have still been struggling to use mine… I may pick a day to make sure I use part of a brick and I think that may help me!
Thank you so much for sharing and commenting ☺️
Scentsy does not sell bricks in Region 3, but people do pick them up when they travel or in friend swaps.
I have found a lady in NZ who has quite a few bricks and i have brought two from her, My first brick was Jammy Time.
I warming Jammy Time every night in my bedroom so I love having a brick of it.
Second brick i own is Coconut Lemongrass which i use at night time in my open plan to get rid of cooking smells.
I would love to get more bricks from her of scents I use a lot.
I also buy room sprays from her two because New Zealand don't have room sprays either.
I own 10 room sprays.
Those two would be perfect bricks since you use them both regularly! 😳 I had no idea NZ didn’t have room spray! Which did you choose of those? So glad you can find a source, she must pay a fortune to get them 😥
@@AlexandraWaxwithAlex The 10 Room Sprays i have purchased are Jammy Time, By the Sea, Hibiscus Pineapple, Aussie Plum, Berry Bright, A-peeling apple which is a scent we have not had in R3, Black Raspberry Vanilla, Sheer Leather, Satin Sheets and Homestead Holiday my most favourite scent from Scentsy.
I have even got some R1 bars from her which we have not had here in region 3 they are: Bright Cider Life,
Iced Pine, Cinnamon Buttercream, Very Snowy Spruce, Just Fir You, Caramel Apple Craze, Autumn Sunset, Scary Good, Rainbow Sherbet, Peppermint dreams, Pumpkin Roll, Cedar Cider, Tinsel Berry, Dark Habour, Johnny Appleseed, Winterberry Apple Tea, Pumpkin Cinnamon Swirl, Breakfast In Bed, I got a bar from her we had a long time ago i love a lot which is Tea leaf & Rose. In that basket of bars i have another four bars that i am hoarding until they come back and they are Driftwood Bay, Skinny Dippin, Sunny Apricot, and Cashmere Pear.
Homestead holiday is such a beautiful scent! It’s not coming back to R1 in the fall. I think many will be disappointed 😔 I have a bar in my club, that’s one that definitely really enjoy during the holidays. Oh boy there are so many there that we enjoy in R1 all the time… Rainbow Sherbet is so strong and fruity without getting sickly sweet. And you do seem to miss out on a lot of “winter” and “fall” scents 😕 You end up missing some of our bestsellers!
Skinny Dippin’ isn’t one of my favourites but I know it has a cult like following 😊
Thank you so much for going into detail! I’m always curious at what other regions want to see and scent preferences 😄
@@AlexandraWaxwithAlex You're right R3 don't get that many Fall & Winter scents that R1 has the Bakery scents i hope one day we will get to try
I have tried Baked apple pie and i did very well in my kitchen but until then i have a little stash of Pie, Oh My!! which i love it is in our clearance section at the moment.
To be honest in my opinion there's not a lot of difference from our winter catalog to our Summer catalog because we don't have those fall/Winter scent. So it never fells like a true Fall/Winter catalog.
Am I the only person who just chops the whole brick at once lol. I only have 2 bricks currently but they're not scents I would use regularly I used my coconut lemongrass brick regularly. I warm my bricks fine it doesnt take me long to use up a brick if it's the season I want to use it in. I only cut mine in halved so that could also be why
I’ve thought about chopping the whole thing but it feels weird because I’m not using it yet 😅 What are the two scents you have but don’t use as regularly? (If you don’t mind me asking) do you keep your bricks at easy access too?
Thanks 😊
