LOL is my go to vendor. I love that she has many scents that are not bakery and many of the seasonal scents she carries all year long. Her tarts are strong and throw well in my house. It's because of her I cannot get enough Celtic Moonspice. Her scent list is very complete and easy to follow. When I order, I usually get free shipping - 'nuf said.

I ordered several packs of the melts...love them! They also sent me some free extras to try, 3 actually and they are nice too!!!! I will buy from here again!! I have now ordered from here 3-4 times, and still love the tarts. They send little freebies every time also so that I can test other scents, don't have to ask, they just do it. Really nice melts!!!

Too tempting for me - I had to order! The problem was in choosing which scents to try but I decided on Palm Island, Capri Olivo, Santrini, Tibetan Amber and Vaniglia del Madagascar in the clamshell tarts. There were several freebies included, too, which offset the cost of shipping. The packaging is very nice, the tarts are of good quality and the scents are truly unique and lovely with a good throw. I am very happy with these and will be back to try some more of these unique tarts! **Update** I loved these so much I am now on order #2 - these scents are very strong, long lasting and unique! Ginger Fig is a standout, with a strong and complex nature that is unbelievable! This company is now in my top 3!

I love Allison's tarts-I have tried numerous scents-foody and others and they are very strong and true and last forever. She sells bags of 12 small heart tarts for $4.75 and this is a great way to try different scents at one time. These heart tarts are super strong and two are great for a medium size burner. Her dupes are right on and her foody tarts are mouth watering.

Wow, love this company! I actually ordered some body butter and some othr bath products. When I got the box, there were what had to be about 10 freebie tarts to try! I was in tart heaven! These tarts are great. They are huge and strong! My favorite scent so far is gingerbread applesauce....great fall apple smell :) I am going to have to place a tart / candle order now! Oh and the bath products are great too!

I have melted tarts from Laughing Out Loud. I have found the scents to be authentic and the throw to be great. The customer service is excellent. Emails are answered in a timely manner. The turn around time is clearly stated on the home page. You can even look up the status of your order on the website. The popp tarts are huge. I usually cut them in half. My favorite scents are Sweet Sixteen and Sugar Bits (I know this is personal preference, but I thought they were awesome!!). I have been very pleased with this vendor and plan to order again and again!

I received my first order and I love these tarts. They have a good scent throw and last a while. Customer service is excellent. I will be buying from them again.

I ordered a ton of tarts and some votives from LOL, and I am soo impressed! I love the Popp Tarts because I can reuse the the little plastic tubs when I want to change my scent before all the fragrance is gone. My favorite is Hot Noel, this is awesome with cinnamon, peppermint, and vanilla, it is heavenly! I also really liked Chistmas Kitchen, and Chocloate Amber. I did not care for the Fresh Baked Bread, it smelled just like described in the container, but changed when melted to something I can't put a finger on, but just didn't care for. Candy cane vanilla was also delish! My Pumpkin Cheesecake votives were awesome, the burned perfectly and had a very strong scent. I have just ordered a layered jar candle and a bunch more tarts, I will add on to this review when they arrive! 1-8-09 I just placed my 4th order since November... I know I should try other places but I can't stay away from LOL!! For Christmas I bought a 26 oz. layered candle in Frosted Cranberry Wreath, Mistletoe Kisses, and Sugared Spruce. PERFECT!! Bust out the artificial christmas tree and burn that baby, and you will swear you are walking through a christmas tree lot! Very strong throw on all three layers, with Mistletoe Kisses being my favorite. I am also completely in love with vanilla crack and vanilla crunch, and have since ordered a few more vanillas to try. Allison is so friendly and always adds in freebies... so I love sending business her way!

I have purchased many times from LOL and love the tarts she offers. Great selection and scent blends, wonderful CS. She always throws in extras to try. Just recently tried the triple layer candle and am happy to report that it is burning well with a medium throw. I am using a candle shade to ensure even melt. My only con with the website is that the scent list is not offered in a drop down menu format,which makes it more difficult to place my order-and remember where I am at on my scent list. Overall, I think this is one of the best brands available out there and will continue to purchase as long as LOL is in business!

I'm long overdo to review this company. I have been buying melts from Allison for a while now, and there isn't one I haven't enjoyed. They are strong and long lasting, which is why she number one on my melt list. TAT may be a little longer than other companies, but I am guessing it's because she has a lot of melts to make, which means she's doing something very extraordinary.

I also ordered melts. A lot! I ordered: Uncle Bud's Bisquit Moon Pie Jelly Donut Fresh Glazed Donuts Pink Sugar Buttercream Blueberry Freesia Pink Lemonade These all smell divine and the throw on what I have tried is good. She sent me some extras too! This was a great experience and I will order again for sure.

Very happy with my order! Found this company again after she relocated to another state. This is my second time ordering and I am really impressed with the tarts. They are all very large and colorful. I tried to order some unique scents as well as my usuals! They arrived in 3 weeks (which was stated on the home page- so knew in advance) and she keeps a tracking page on her site, so you can see where your order stands on her work list. I love that feature. So far I have burned: CINNNAMON STRUDEL(love it!), BLUEBERRY COCONUT(strong and delicious), BUTTERMILK PANCAKES(perfect and yummy), COFFEE CAKE(perfect), BEACH COTTAGE BREAKFAST(unique scent- hard to describe), BANANA COFFEE CAKE (Delicious and terrific mix- strong) , COCONUT PEAR (strong and big on the pear), COCONUT CAKE (YUM!!!! So, so great and strong), MARSHMALLOW MAJESTY( a wonderful combo of marshmallow and violets- unique and perfect throw), PINK CARAMALLOW( not liking this one- the caramel and pink sugar are too much for me), PINK SUGAR MON SHERRY(Wonderful! pink sugar and cherry- yummy) & MINT BUTTERCREAM FROSTING(very sweet and strong- love it) I really like the scents that I have tried so far. The prices for single tarts are on the high side( I usually try to buy single tarts for less than a dollar), but the tart cups are so BIG that they are twice the size of the oval tart cups I gotten from other companies before! This is a nice business. :)

This is a great company. I have ordered a few different times, and had forgotten about how much I enjoy them until I unearthed a box of tarts that I had purchases a time ago. I find most scents to have a good throw, a few were lighter, but so are many scents from other companies. I love the unique blends. My favorites are Uncle Buds Biscuits, Moon Pie, and Fresh Glazed Donuts---OK, I am a bakery nut! Oh, almost forgot Pink Sugar Buttercream, yummy! I am Laughing out Loud with happiness---These tarts are great!

I had a very positive experience with LOL Candles, and I will be a return customer. Their scents, while not all to my personal taste, were well-rounded, authentic, and melts had a wonderful throw even without curing (I was too impatient to wait...). They recently raised both the prices slightly and the TAT, which were disappointing to me (their scalloped tarts for sale used to be 75 cents...bummer...). The candles had a clean burn, wicks mushroomed slightly, no tunneling, soft wax, and even scent distribution from top to bottom of the candle. Best vanilla scents I've ever tried. FAVORITE SCENTS: Comfortably Numb, Vanilla Crunch, Chocolatey Pumpkin Bread (scent found in tarts on sale), Vermont Apple Pie (this was a freebie and turned out to be my second favorite scent, to comfortably numb), Fireside, Patchouli Forest NOT-SO-FAVORITE SCENTS: (again, personal preference here) Celtic Moonspice, Snow Baby (smelled just like airhead candy to me, so if you like that go for it), French Vanilla Coffee. I'm placing my next order as I write :)

I purchased a bunch of the tarts Alison had on clearance for my mom. This was the first time either of us had tried this company so we just wanted to see how it was before making any large purchases. Needless to say, we both are very impressed with the company's service and their product. Scents we enjoyed: Santrini- very summery but hard to describe. Floral but sweet. Poundcake- smells just like the real thing! Coconut Pear- what a great balance between these two scents. Neither overwhelms the other. Coffee Cake & Spice- my dad woke up one morning was disappointed that my mom wasn't actually baking coffee cake. Apple Torta- kinda funky. Sweet and slightly apple but smelled more like an apple pastry. This was one of the lighter throws but overall we actually enjoyed it. We will definately be ordering from here again! In fact, I believe my mom has placed her first order.

LOL is the cream of the crop for candles and tarts. The throw off this wax is amazing and the scent list is so much fun. If you don't try this company you are missing out! The layered candles are awesome for people like me who are fickle and like many different scents, and the 2 oz tart cups are great too. I do use an illuma-lid from Yankee with the layered candles to help them burn nicely. Awesome!!

First I will start by saying-if you like a tobacco/cherry scent that will FILL your home-then you should try [b]Santa's Pipe[/b] I had this in my melter and it just took over!! My parents were here visiting and made me turn it off-they said it was TOO strong. I have enjoyed a few other scents-[b]Candy corn & Buttercream, Uncle Bud's Biscuits, Whipped Citrus Cream, and Violet Buttercream[/b] I shared a few with my little brother who agreed with me-that the tarts start out very strong and quickly fade. Santa's Pipe does not do that, however, but it is an acquired taste. Would I recommend? Certainly. Just be prepared for the scent to fade. :wink: PS Got some body butter and it is very nice!!

Order 12 votives and assorted tarts. Online menu was nice. Customer service excellent. Votives gave a lot of throw, burned clean.Loved fresh baked bread, nana's kitchen, snowflake, 3 muskateers. LOVED, LOVED, LOVED - hey sugar. Smelled like a light, lovely lemon pie. Not too sweet. Tarts had nice packaging. The throw was not near as good as votives and did not last long. Will order candles again.
