I'm not a Scentsy user only because they're not that affordable for me. If you knew me than you would understand. I'm pretty much a tightwad so anything that cost a great deal usually doesn't get purchased. I always tell people I'm so tight that I squeak when I walk LOL. I can't help it that is just how I have always been.I usually use regular jar candles from Kirkland's or my old school tart warmer. Really it's mostly out of habit, but I have to admit constantly replacing those tea lights can be nerve racking.
I have always wanted a Scentsy, but I just couldn't justify spending $30 for a warmer and having to order them through someone versus jut buying everything at the store. I am one of those people that has to smell the scents of the candles before I actually buy them.
As soon as my box arrived I ripped it open. I was so excited because the choice of warmers that were chosen could not of been more perfect. I received an Everyday Expressions Warmer pictured above.
Finally a safer and more stylish wax warming system. I always worried about the flame from the tart burners especially with little ones around. All of the warmers are easy to use. Place the tray on the warmer and add fragrance cubes and turn on the switch. As the tray heats, wax will melt and fragrance will release within minutes. Before I knew it my living room smelled like I was baking cookies.What I really liked about these warmers is that you can remove the wax and pour it back into the storage trays. Then just wipe it clean with a paper towel and add a new scent. This is so much easier than placing my whole tart warmer in the freezer and then popping out the tart candle.
If you aren't into the food and fruity scents no worries because the Better Homes and Gardens Scented Wax Cubes come in 24 different Everyday Scents. (Line dried Linen, Country Sunflower, Shimmering Cherry Blossom, Lemongrass, Warm Crackling Fireplace and Fresh Ocean Flowers) just to name a few. BHG also has 14 additional Harvest scents. The wax cube packages come in a package of 6 for $2 each which is really reasonable.
Helpful Tips: - Always store the fragrance wax cubes in a cool dry place.
- Turn your warmer on for 1 hour in the morning and one hour in the evening to fill your home with you favorite scent. The fragrance will linger most of the day and conserve the scent in the wax so it lasts longer. I noticed the next morning that I could still smell the fragrance and my warmer had been off all night.
- Be careful not to overfill your warmer (2 cubes is usually sufficient).
- You can also mix fragrance cubes together to customize your own scent.
Since I am not a Scentsy user I can't compare scent wise, but I can tell you that I am very impressed with the BHG Wax Warmers System. The price of the BHG warmers is $15 versus $30 for Scentsy this is more realistic and affordable for me. I can also purchase the wax fragrance cubes in store instead of ordering them. Each package is priced at $2 versus $5.
The whole system is so affordable that I think I will be purchasing a few for Christmas gifts this year. You can find the Better Homes and Gardens Scented Wax Warmers and the Fragrance Cubes at your local Walmart in the "Candle & Home Department.

I've been meaning to go get one of these myself! A couple of my friends who taught down the hall from me last year used them in their classrooms, and everyone always commented either how good it smelled or wondered who was baking blueberry muffins from down the hall! :)
I have a scentsy from doing a party for a friend and I think the Better Homes, are much more fragrant and last longer! I am in love with the Pumpkin Spice scent! Now I can get another warmer for our upstairs!
I love mine. Been using it everyday.. and I feel safe even if my 4yr old daughter turns it on by herself. She remembers it more than me. Love the scents! A lot to choose from.
Well, so glad this was on your blog. I'm on my way today to find a set. With four big poodles and a mini in my house it can get kinda woofy at times :)
I tried the Better Homes & Gardens warmer & tarts also because of the high cost of scentsy and I love it !! When I want to change scents & after I turn off my warmer & the tarts are solid, I just take a little knife and kind of slice it then it pops right out & I save it for another time ! I think it's a lot easier & doesn't make a mess like pouring the melted wax could be !!
I can't wait to try the Christmas scents !!
I have a Scentsy that I received as a gift. I have switched over to the BHG tarts. I am one who likes to smell the scent before purchase too and I only found 1 of the Scentsy "flavors" that I liked. I have found at least 3 of the BHG scents that I love. I can't wait for Christmas scents, either. I like my Scentsy but I love the pumpkin warmer you got!!
Hi everyone I am loving my new warmers. I have to agree the pumpkin one is so cute. BHG also has a acorn, apple, gourd leaf and more harvest warmers to choose from. The Expressions everyday warmer fits my decor perfectly so I was syked when I got that one.
I am sure Scentsy is good, but this is just more afforadable me. I like being able to purchase in store as well. Smelling the candles first is a must for me.
I think the BH&G warmers are cute, but the scents are terribly fake smelling to me. I love the real smells and the selection of smells with Scentsy better. Is the BH&G wax food grade?
I use both of them. I love them both and think they are equally just as good! I, like you can't justify spending the money on the scentsy when I can get them at Walmart for cheaper and just as good!
I think it is up to each individual. I don't think the BHG Fragrance Cubes smell fake at all. I actually thought they smelled pretty close to the real thing.
I like being able to have an option not just something you have to order from a consultant. I can't tell what the scents smell like.
$5 a package is just a bit steep for me for the wax cubes, but it might not for others.
I have two warmers I bought one August and hubby got me one for my birthday. I love them. I also love the yummy scents. I use 1 wax cube at a time though.
I have been trying to decide which type of warmer/wax to use. Thank you for this great review! I plan to try this! Shush, don't tell my cousin who sells Scentsy! lol
I saw those the other day while at Walmart. I love yummy smelling candles. I think I will have to go get one now. Thanks for the good review.
I've been using the BHG cubes for over a year now, they have been around awhile but Walmart moves them around constantly. I love my bulb warmer, but I have a tin primitive warmer with punch holes that glows around the room. I'm curious how easy it is to get the wax out of the ceramic with the knob in the center. I pop my tart holder cup in to the freezer for a few minutes then it will slide right out but the one with a knob would make it hard.
Oh, oh OH!!!! I'm adding this to my Christmas list. I really wanted a Scentsy warmer, but I also like to smell them first. So I think I'll go check out some of their scents soon and put some on a list. Great!!!
I have the brown one in the second picture. I acutally bought it this summer for VBS because I didn't want to have a candle near the kids.
Anyway, I LOVE it!!! It is so much nicer to just turn it on and not worry about having tea lights on hand.
I so like to use my yankee candle tarts in it. I do have some of the BHG wax cubes and they work well and smell good too.
Nicole you just have to pour the wax out and back into the trays. Then just wipe it clean with a paper towel and add a new scent.
I think that is what I love most about it because I used to have to pop my whole tart burner in the freezer to get the wax out.
I have several tart burner including one that plugs in that I got from some party my daughter had (For Your Home I think, or something like that). I tend to use my tart burners more around the holidays and in the fall than any other time. I've always used Yankee tarts (Harvest is my favorite!)but they've gotten a little pricey and like you I'm a tightwad! Thanks for the review on these from Walmart! Now I have a lower cost alternative. I'm heading to Walmart this weekend and will definitely have to add The BHG wax cubes to my list!
Thanks so much for the review! I've been wanting to try a wax warmer scenter, but have been steered away due to the prices. I'm going to look for this one at Walmart on my next trip there!
Thanks Again, SimplyGOURDjus
I have a Brand Name wax warmer. I also have their wax, and the BHG wax. I use the BHG wax more than the other because I like the fragrance better.
I had to try this after reading your post & bought the Cinnamon scent. It is very fragrant & not fake smelling at all. My local Wal-Mart only had 1 package of it so hopefully they will get more stocked soon. Anxious to try some of the other scents now. Thanks for your review!
That is great Jill. I hope they get more scents in the store as well. I know you can order them online in a (4)pack at walmart.com and have them shipped site to store for free. The package is $8.97 http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=15689212
So can you use the BHG wax cubes in a Scentsy Warmer?
I really want the Expressions scented wax warmer, but I am having trouble finding it. I even checked online at walmart.com, any suggestions?
It looks like it isn't available at Walmart.com at this time. I did find it here, but you will have to copy and paste the link.

The BHG cubes have a little higher melting point than the Scentsy wax, so it just stays "mushy" in a Scentsy warmer. I also find the cube lasts 1-2 days as opposed to my Scentsy cubes, which last about a week each - one $5 bar will last a whole month, while I go through a $2 BHG bar in a week - making the Scentsy price cheaper. The Scentsy also has a lifetime warranty and you can buy extra dish tops if one breaks. They're also a little heavier. That's my experience-comparison. Oh, and your local consultant should have testers for you to sample-smell before buying.
In fact, I loved the Scentsy so much better, that I became a consultant! A great way to earn a few hundred dollars a month part-time!!
I also am not comfortable with the Scentsy prices.I'm sure they work great, but I don't like the inconvenience of scheduling to smell so I can purchase. I purchased my BHG warmer and 3 scents a few days ago. I love it so far. My mom has owned two for about a year now and her house always smells wonderful. I have to be honest and say that I really love candles, and one of the main reasons I purchased a warmer was also to use with ALL the wax I have left in the bottom of several candles. Its not as strong as the cubes though. I also purchased a couple of oils to add to my waxes. My only complaint with BHG is that I want more variety of scents. Michael's also sells wax tarts, so I'll be going there soon to purchase a few.
