Mini Yankee Candle Sale Haul

Hi beaut's!

It's no surprise that I'm a crazy candle lady, I literally have to have a candle burning in my house at all times so when I saw Yankee Candle had a sale on online I just had to make a cheeky purchase. I didn't go too crazy mainly because lots of the candles had already sold out and I also got bought quite a few Yankee Candles for Christmas so I didn't really need more but I like to stock up and I just cant resist a sale hehe.

Berry Trifle £18.99 now £9.50

The first one that went straight into my online basket was a medium glass jar of Berry Trifle, I actually reviewed the votive of this a few days back (Link HERE) and it's safe to say it's one of my favourites, as you'd expect its quite a fruity yet sweet scent and raspberries and cranberries definitely comes through, theres a light vanilla fragrance too which comes from the vanilla cream but the berry scent is definitely what comes out on top and is the most recognisable, arhhh it's smells sooooo good!

Snowflake Cookie £8.99 now £4.50

Next I went looking for a glass jar of Snowflake Cookie and the only variation they had left was the small glass jar so that's what I went for. To me this smells incredibly good just like sugar cookies and icing, very similar to Christmas Cookie actually, I love foodie scents.

I then decided to finish off my order by getting a couple of votive's purely because they where only 90p each. I opted for Gingerbread Maple which I've had before and loved, if your into sweet yet spicy scents then Gingerbread Maple will be right up your street, to me it smells very much like when your baking your own gingerbread, all the way from making the gingerbread dough to when they are baking in the oven and to when they are cooling down, it literally fills the house with a Christmas baking vibe. Lastly I went for Christmas Memories, again I've had this one before and really enjoyed it. It literally has every scent that you associate with Christmas all piled into one candle. It smells like sweet/spicy baking with hints of mandarin, cinnamon, cloves and ginger, it's so warming!

Did you pick up any Yankee Candles in the sale beaut's? 

Lush Sale Haul

Hey beaut's!

Every year the only Boxing Day sale that I really look forward to is Lush, for the past few years I've always been on the computer by 9am ready to buy all the festive goodies at an amazing 50% off, however I'm sure I'm not alone in saying this but just like last year placing a sale order with Lush was a nightmare! They had major problems with the website, it kept crashing constantly and in the end I resorted to refreshing thousands of times until my finger nearly fell off, never the less I managed to place an order in the end so I thought I'd share with you all what I got.

Magic Wand Reusable Bubble Bar

The Magic Wand is one of my all time favourites... It smells incredible, it's just like the Snow Fairy Shower Gel but in Bubble Bar form. I think its super cute too and I love that Lush have jazzed it up slightly this time around with a silver bow and the iridescent glitter, I literally cant wait to have a bath with this one he he. 

The Magic of Christmas Reusable Bubble Bar

Next up is a new member to the Lush Christmas family, The Magic of Christmas Reusable Bubble Bar. I wanted to buy this in my local Lush store but every time I went in it had sold out, so when I saw it was still on the website at half price it was fate and I just had to buy it. This one is very festive and smells just like all the traditional warming, spicy scents that you get at Christmas, think cinnamon, cloves, almonds and zesty orange, arhhhh.

Shoot For The Stars Bath Bomb

Next I thought I'd try the Shoot For The Stars bath bomb, I've never ever tried this one before and it looked so cool on the website that I just had to give it a whirl. Shoot For The Stars is said to smell just like the popular Honey I Washed The Kids scent, it's gorgeously sweet with honey and toffee scents really coming through, arhhh I cant wait to use this little beauty! 

Stardust Bath Bomb

I believe Stardust was another new release for Lush at Christmas and although it's pretty plain looking it smells lovely, it's quite sugary sweet and has a strong vanilla kick to it which I really like. 

Merry Christmas Gift Set

Because the Lush website was having an absolute meltdown I quickly started to lose my patience with all the refreshing so I decided just to get a gift set, that way I was sure to get the bath bombs I was after without the constant refreshing. I decided on the Merry Christmas Gift Set usually priced at £19.99 but I paid £9.99 which I thought was a really good deal. The box itself contains a Peeping Santa Bubble Bar which I love, a Lord of Misrule Bath Bomb which I believe came out over Halloween, the Cinders Bath Bomb which I have had before and really enjoyed, the huge Golden Wonder Bath Bomb and finally theres a Dashing Santa Bath Bomb too. I absolutely love this gift set as theres such a variety of goodies to try inside, I'm super happy I decided to pick it up. 

What Lush goodies did you manage to pick up in the sale beaut's?? I'd love to know!!
