Babeland Massage Candles
Jan 21st, 2009 by Domina Doll
I’m a bit of a candle whore. I love having lots of candles around, especially when the candle wax turns into massage oil. Babeland Massage Candle Gift Pack is packaged in a rectangular box with five 1oz candles in assorted scents, a tiny box of matches and a packet of Babeland’s Entice lube. Each candle comes in a little lidded tin with enough soy wax for one use (or back massage). The scents are really luscious and are the highlight of this product. They include Mojito Peppermint, Chocolate Hazelnut, Mango Vanilla, Rice Flower and Jasmine Ginger. All of them smell exactly as they are described and my favorites were the peppermint, chocolate hazelnut and the mango vanilla which were magically delicious. The rice flower and jasmine ginger were a bit too flowery for me, but people who like those scents will enjoy the fragrance.
The candle wax is low-melt soy, which means it has a low melting point and is safe to use on skin right from the tin once melted. The temperate is warm, but never hot. I have used other soy candles including JimmyJane’s Afterglow Candle which was magnificent [my review], Shunga massage candles and the Lava Lotion candle [my review]. I found Babeland’s wax to be much thicker than other types I have tried, which made it harder to rub in and you had to use more. It was also kind of sticky, almost like liquid candy and it didn’t absorb into the skin as well as it should have. JimmyJane’s candle had a silky texture that just melted into the skin and left it feeling supple and moisturized, whereas these candles left a sticky residue that was not so pleasant. I had to wash my hands after wards and my partner’s back for him.
So, while the packaging and scents of the Babeland candles are wonderful, I didn’t enjoy the wax as much. I would recommend JimmyJane’s Afterglow Candles instead, but then they are more expensive and you get what you pay for.
