Glitz Candles were created because we love candles, but we don't like the soot and residue that most candles leave behind. So, we set out on a mission to create candles that burnt clean and smelled wonderful. We believe we have accomplished that goal. We test our candles for burning qualities, scent, color and pattern throw. This means, when we are testing a candle for burning qualities, we are checking to make sure the candle, (burnt under the proper conditions) doesn't soot (leave black gunk on the jar or container it is in); it has a complete melt pool to the sides of it's container; and doesn't burn too quickly. We expect to have a good scent throw from our candles whether they're just sitting there looking pretty or lit. The colors and pattern must be just right or they are pitched. We can do that because each candle we make is hand poured. When you buy a candle from us, we pour your candle. It may take a little longer to get your candle but when you do, you will receive the freshest scents and most vibrant colors we can possibly offer you. It takes approximately two weeks from the time you order your candles, to arrive to your door. We believe once you experience our candles, you will agree that they are well worth the wait.
