The Megastar Candle: Why Sharon Cuneta Chose Grice Wax & Wicks

Published by: Grice Wax & Wicks LLC

When Filipino icon Sharon Cuneta placed an order through our site, I didn’t know it was her at first. There was no announcement. No publicity. Just a quiet, humble order placed through the Grice Wax & Wicks website like any other.

I wrapped it with care, the way I always do. Added a free sample. A handwritten note. A few extras. Something told me this package needed more. What I didn’t know at the time was that this would become a collaboration of the Megastar Collection, luxury scents that would soon be seen in Philippine media and spark a wave of reverent attention.

Why This Was Never About Celebrity - But Legacy.

When we say the wax remembers, we mean it.

This wasn’t PR. Sharon didn’t receive a free candle in exchange for a post. She chose it.

That’s what made this moment so sacred. Out of all the brands and all the candles she could’ve bought, she picked Grice Wax & Wicks, a small, Black-owned candle studio based in Texas, rooted in storytelling and ritual. She placed an order on my website—just like anyone else. I got off work, packed it up like I always do. Just another normal day.

But something told me to look her up.

And when I did… that’s when the shift happened. That’s when I realized the weight of her name. Sharon Cuneta. The Megastar of the Philippines. A woman whose legacy stretches across decades and continents.

I may not have known the whole story at first, but the moment I saw who she was, I felt it. That quiet knowing. The kind of moment you don’t manufacture, you honor it.

This was more than a customer. It was confirmation.

There was a presence in that moment I’ll never forget. I grew up surrounded by music. By voices that carried meaning. By records that filled the room with memory. And something about this candle reaching her… felt like one of those sacred full-circle moments.

What the Megastar Candle Represents

The candles she ordered? It wasn’t meant to be famous. But it burned with something true. It’s now known as the Megastar Candle, not because of who bought it, but because of what it symbolizes:

Intentional luxury
Clean, slow-burning fragrance
Black-owned luxury candle brand meeting Filipino legacy
An unexpected collaboration built on reverence, not reach

And when Sharon Cuneta shared the candle herself, the world noticed. No tag. No fanfare. Just light, and presence, and proof that sometimes your work really does reach the right hands.

Sharon’s Quiet Power and What It Taught Me

As news outlets like MSN Philippines picked up the story, I felt something shift. People began to search for “Sharon Cuneta candle” or “Sharon Cuneta collaboration candle.” And suddenly, my small brand was part of something much bigger.

But through it all, one thing stayed the same: I pour by hand. I pour with intention. And I pour from a place of faith.

Because that’s what Sharon taught me without even saying a word.

The Legacy of the Wax

At Grice Wax & Wicks, every candle is a story. This one just happened to become part of hers.

So to Sharon Cuneta, if you’re reading this, thank you. You didn’t just support a brand. You poured back into a dream. You showed the world what it looks like to move with grace, to shop intentionally, and to let your light speak without needing to say a word.
