I have been working for ages behind the scenes on a refresh of my Soy Melt line. My molds were getting rather old, and I wanted to do a refresh of the fragrances I had, take away some that weren't doing well, add some new ones, and just freshen up the look of them. So I have now done this and they are all on the website, still a few more to do, but I wanted to get the bulk done and ready for you.

Now we have had to put up the price sorry, the wax and especially the fragrances has all gone up, not to mention the freight charges, I had been absorbing this but it is time to put the prices to reflect what it actually costs to make, I am sorry to have to do this.

Hopefully for you that have bought them in the past, you will enjoy the new ones. If there are fragrances you have bought in the past, and you don't see it in the listings, then feel free to contact me, it might be that I still have to do that one in the new look, but if not, I will consider doing it for the line. I am also planning to bring out a couple of small box sets, such as perfume mix, summer mix, and a flower mix, are there any you think would be nice to purchase together in a set, I am interested to know, so leave a comment if you do. Hope you like them!
