Vanilla Scented Wax Melts – Mainstays
by Christina Rylan
Brand: Mainstays found at Walmart
Scent: Vanilla
Type: 2.5oz Clamshell Melts
Price: $2.00
First Impression:
This brand is found at Walmart stores and boy is there a large variety to choose from. Unfortunately, I haven’t found too many fragrances from Mainstays I’ve liked enough to purchase so when I find one that smells decent… I’m all over it.
The label on these melts showed a picture of a vanilla cupcake with white icing swirled on top – yummy… the wax smelled like a sweet vanilla. The best part, it wasn’t plastic’y or fake at all… it reminded me of vanilla frosting.
Melting:
I couldn’t find a scent description for this fragrance but one wasn’t really needed. The wax smelled like a sugary vanilla… light but nice.
I used the entire clamshell pack in 2 electric melters in my great room and once the wax was fully melted… the fragrance stayed pretty subtle. So subtle, it was hard making out the scent at all without my nose being right up to the melter. Bummer!! What I could smell was nice… a sweet and classic vanilla. I just wish it would have been stronger.
Would I recommend this scent? Totally up to you. It smelled good but I personally won’t purchase it again.
Happy melting!

The other 2 brands from walmart are usually great though.
I have bought mainstays before too but don’t anymore because the scents are not strong enough nor does the little scent they have last long enough.
