Whiffy Wax Melts Review

 Hey beaut's!

If you know me then you'll know that theres always a wax burner on or a candle burning in my house, I find it so comforting and relaxing not to mention the cosy vibes it brings as well as the added bonus of my house smelling incredible, so yeah - you can see I'm quite the addict! So you can imagine how excited I was when I recently got the chance to try some wax melts from Whiffy Wax, having not tried the brand before I was really intrigued!

Whiffy Wax literally sell everything that will make your house smell incredible, theres wax melts, wax burners, candles, room sprays, reed defusers, and carpet fresheners with so many scents to choose from. What I love about Whiffy Wax is that all of their products are made entirely by hand using only handpicked quality ingredients, no machinery is used during the manufacturing process and the products use recyclable eco-friendly materials and soy wax.

Whiffy Wax have soooo many scents to choose from whether you want bakery, fruity, fresh, floral, sweet, designer and luscious, theres literally a scent to suit everyone! My favourite scents are always anything sweet and foodie and also fresh and clean - and the melts I've been trying are certainly up there with my all time favourites! I have three fresh scents - Fresh Linen, Baby Powder and Cool Breeze and six sweeter scents - Chocolate Fudge Brownie, Cinnamon Buns, Fluffy Bubble, Vanilla Crunch, Strawberry Shortcake and finally Citrus Pound Cake! Honestly these scents are right up my street, my favourites so far are definitely Fresh Linen, Strawberry Shortcake, Chocolate Fudge Brownie and Cinnamon Buns, they literally smell INCREDIBLE! 

The quality of these wax melts is so good, you literally need a small chunk of the wax to pop into your burner and that's enough to provide a big ole scent throw, I wouldn't say their overpowering but they do certainly pack a punch. The wax also melts pretty much instantly so your not waiting around for the scent to start working it's way around the house, I find that really handy when you've got someone popping over at short notice and you want your house smelling lush quickly! I actually have the mini wax melts which provide 12 hours of burn time but personally I find they last sooooo much longer. The mini 1oz wax melts are £1.20 each or for better value you can get their Whopper Box of nine mega sized 2oz wax melts for £15.00.
I'm so impressed with these wax melts so far and it's made me really excited for - dare I say it - the Christmas scents, Whiffy Wax actually have some specific scents for Summer available right now but I can only imagine what epic scents they will have for Autumn and Christmas! I'm really interested in their designer scents too, who knew you could get a wax melt that smells of your favourite perfume, yup they have Lady Million, Daisy and Ghost, pretty epic right?!

Theres eight of Yankee Candle's favourite scents to choose from in this bundle such as....

* All Is Bright - A blend of sparkling citrus scents drifting on warm musk.

Autumnal Candle Haul!

Hey beaut's!

It's that time of the year again when I turn into the crazy candle lady, theres something so cosy and warming about burning candles during the Autumn/Winter months isn't there, they just look so pretty on those dark autumnal nights and the spicy, warming scents are just amazing! Because I literally have to fill my entire house with candles it means I have to bu quite a few and I found some absolute corkers in TK MAXX recently so I thought I share which ones I got!

All four of the candles I picked up in TK MAXX are by the brand DW Home, I believe this is an American brand which would explain the epic scents I found, I don't know about you but I feel like candle companies in the UK just don't do those epic Autumnal/Halloween scents like they do in the states! All four of the candles I got come in glass jars with lids and feel super luxurious and expensive, the prices of these where pretty epic too, the small jars where only £2.99 each and the larger jars where £5.99 which for candles in general is good but as their an American brand I think that's an amazing price!  
(From left to right - Maple Pumpkin, Pumpkin Spice,  Apple Cider, Frosted Leaves)
The scents I picked up are...
Maple Pumpkin - Wow this candle is next level, I wish they had larger jars of this one in stock because I think I would of bought a couple of those because I love it so much! Maple Pumpkin smells sweet like caramelised sugar and pumpkin combined with a hint of toasted nuts, it honestly smells good enough to eat!
Pumpkin Spice - This one comes in the most amazing black glass jar with little gold bats all over it, it was also boxed up in gift box for no extra charge which I thought was such a nice touch, they had a couple of other Halloween candles boxed up too if your looking for a Halloween themed gift! This one reminds me of Yankee Candles cinnamon stick, it has quite a strong cinnamon and nutmeg vibe going on mixed with a brown sugary sweetness, it's absolutely lush!
Apple Cider - This one not only looks super autumnal in it's rusty Orange jar but it's literally autumn in a candle, theres hints of woodland spices mixed with warm apple cider, it's incredible and the scent throw is fabulous!
Frosted Leaves - This is quite different for me because it's got that woodland vibe like autumn leaves, weathering pine and burnt embers but I actually really like it, it kind of reminds me of going on a drizzly walk in the woods with the dog if that makes any sense he he!

I'd definitely recommend popping into TK MAXX soon if your after these candles as I cant see them lasting very long, I definitely want to pop back in a grab a couple more soon! I want to check out their autumnal homeware too but they never really had much of that in when I went!  

What scents have you picked up for Autumn beaut's? I'd love to know!

Easter Gift Guide - Non Chocolate Edition

Hey beaut's!

Easter is fast approaching but not everyone is a chocolate lover, wait whattttt!!! So today I thought I'd share with you all a few bits and bobs that I think would make great Easter gifts for that friend or family member that doesn't like or cant eat the chocolaty stuff! As much as I am a chocoholic I think theres a great range of non chocolate items this year, quite a few beauty brands have jumped onto the beauty egg bandwagon which I think is just epic and if it's not makeup your after then theres lots of candles and cute home ware pieces around, arhh I cant handle the cuteness! 
Easter Gift Guide - Non Chocolate Edition

B&M Autumnal Candles Reviewed!

Hey beaut's!

Its no surprise that I like a candle or 50 at this time of the year, however being in the UK I feel like we sometimes miss out on some of the amazing candle scents that you can get from places such as Bath and Body Works, however trusty ole B&M make some pretty epic and affordable Bath and Body Works candle dupes so when I was in store recently I decided to pick a couple up to try. There was a few differences I noticed this year, firstly I'm pretty sure all three I bought are new scents as I never saw them last year (correct me if I'm wrong lol), secondly they now have gorgeous hammered copper lids and thirdly they where £2.99 last year and this year they £3.99 so theres been a slight increase in the price. Anywhoooo onto the scents...
Cinnamon Sugared Doughnut is definitely my favourite out of the three I bought, the scent throw is really good and it smells exactly like what it says on the jar, subtle cinnamon, sugary sweetness and vanilla doughnuts, its pretty immense and although theres a lot of sweetness going on it isn't sickly at all, I love it!
Spiced Pomegranate Cider is more subtle that I imaged, the scent throw is very minimal in fact it smells a lot stronger if you just sit sniffing the wax when it's not alight. When it is lit I do get light spicy scents and warm berry vibes but as I said this one isn't as strong as I hoped.
Pumpkin Waffles....arhhh doesn't that just sound amazing! This one has a good scent throw, it's not strong or overpowering but it does fill the house with its scent, I get pumpkin, vanilla, maple syrup and nutmeg fragrances from this one which make me feel so cosy and autumnal, its lovely!

For £3.99 each you really cant fault these candles, they look cute, smell great without being too overpowering, their double wicked and burn evenly so theres no wasted wax and have up to 25 hours burn time, their such good value for money.

Have you picked up any of the B&M Bath and Body Works candle dupes beaut's? Which would you recommend? I'd love to know.

Yankee Candle 'Cookie Swap' Collection

Hey beaut's!

It's that time of year again when I go slightly candle crazy, I mean I've always been a candle addict but as Autumn creeps in my addiction honestly reaches a whole new level. With cosy nights and seasonal scents on my mind I decided to pop to my local garden centre and stock up on a few Yankee Candles, I came across a new super yummy collection called 'Cookie Swap' and obviously had to try the range out immediately!

The Cookie Swap range consists of three limited edition scents and as you can imagine from the title of the range they all smell good enough to eat, I honestly cant pick a favourite out of the three because they all smell so good and each scent is right up my street. Firstly theres Iced Gingerbread, this is basically Christmas in a candle to me, it smells just like freshly cooked gingerbread which have been glazed with yummy vanilla icing, its so so good and definitely one to try if you like all things spicy and sweet! Then theres Magic Cookie Bar, this one is super sweet and smells like lashings of chocolate, coconut flakes, brown sugar and butterscotch. It is quite a rich, sickly scent so you might want to bare that in mind but I love it. Finally theres Merry Berry Linzer, this one is gorgeous, think raspberry jam, almond pastry and vanilla and that's exactly what you get from Merry Berry Linzer, it's such a mouth watering scent that will have you reaching for the jammy dodgers, trust me! If your a fan of foodie scents then I cant recommend this collection enough, I definitely need to stock up before the range sells through!

All of the Yankee Candle wax tart melts claim to provides up to 8 hours of fragrance but personally I find they last sooooo much longer, I can literally have the wax tarts burning in my tart burner for weeks and they still fragrance the entire house which is amazing and such great value for money considering they only set you back £1.79 each.

You can find the Cookie Swap Collection in all variations HERE.

Blogmas Day 3 - £3 B&M Christmas Candles Reviewed


Hey beaut's!

Its Blogmas day three and today I have a candle review for you all. Its no surprise that I like a candle or 50 at this time of the year ha ha, however being in the UK I feel like we sometimes miss out on some of the amazing candle scents that you can get from places such as Bath and Body Works, however recently B&M's £2.99 candles have been taking over the blogasphere and have been named the ultimate Bath and Body Works candle dupes, so I decided to take myself off to B&M and check those bad boys out. I ended up buying two of their Christmas candles quite some time ago and I have been patiently waiting until I put my Christmas decorations up to burn them and since we put our decorations up last week I've finally had them lit and have been loving them.

The B&M Christmas candle collection consists of quite a few different scents but I decided on Vanilla Snowflake and Iced Candy. The candles come in large, heavy glass jars which you can definitely reuse once the candles have burnt down, I always keep mine for makeup brushes or cotton buds, and they both come with lightweight metal lids with a snowflake embossed into it which certainly gives them even more of a Bath and Body works vibe. The candles have two wicks which is so good because they burn evenly and don't leave any wasted wax around the sides of the jars.

The first candle out of the two that I lit straight away was Vanilla Snowflake, now I love my vanilla, sugary foodie scents and this one smells divine just like a sugar cookie with icing on, oh my god it's gorgeous, it has a medium scent throw which isn't overpowering or sickly despite being sweet and lingers in the house for a good while even after blowing it out. Then we have Iced Candy, this one was a lot different to what I was expecting, with the name Iced Candy I was thinking it would be really sweet but actually it reminds me a lot of Yankee Candles Winter Glow as it's quite fresh and frost bitten with the ever so slight hint of sweetness, it really is nice and more Christmassy than Vanilla Snowflake. For £2.99 each you really cant fault these candles, they look cute, smell great without being too overpowering, their festive and have up to 25 hours burn time, their such good value for money.

£3 B&M Halloween Candles Reviewed

Hey beaut's!

Its no surprise that I like a candle or 50 at this time of the year ha ha, however being in the UK I feel like we sometimes miss out on some of the amazing candle scents that you can get from places such as Bath and Body Works, however recently B&M's £2.99 candles have been taking over the blogasphere and have been named the ultimate Bath and Body Works candle dupes, so I decided to take myself off to B&M and check those bad boys out, unfortunately for me all of the autumnal dupes had sold out, however I did manage to pick up a couple of the Halloween Candles and a couple of the Christmas candles woohoo.

The B&M Halloween collection actually consists of four different scents but there was only two scents left for me to choose from so I decided to pick them both up to try. The candles come in large, heavy glass jars which you can definitely reuse once the candles have burnt down, I always keep mine for makeup brushes or cotton buds. The candle have two wicks which is so good because they burn evenly and don't leave any wasted wax around the sides of the jars.

The first candle out of the two that I lit straight away was Pumpkin Spiced Cheesecake, now I will admit in the shop I didn't really get much of a scent out of either of the candles so everything rested on getting them home to try and thank goodness they actually smell good once you burn them. Pumpkin Spiced Cheesecake has subtle hints of cinnamon and vanilla running through it with the odd dash of pumpkin here and there, I love my sweet, foodie scents so this ticked all the boxes for me and the scent throw did fill my entire house despite being quite delicate. Then we have Vanilla Pumpkin, this one is actually less of the pumpkin and more of the vanilla, so if you love vanilla frosting or vanilla cake kind of smells in candles then this one will be for you!

Partylite Spring Collection Reviewed

Hey beaut's!

I have another candle post for you all today, yes I know, I know, I'm such a candle addict but I just love the cosy, warm atmosphere they provide in your house as well as making your home smell absolutely incredible. This time around I've been trying out a selection of the PartyLite Spring Collection that can also double up as a Mother's Day Gift Guide because these candles and accessories would makes amazing Mother's Day gifts!
The PartyLite Spring Collection is so pretty, it's filled fresh, floral and fruity scents in lots of delicate pastel shades and size variations so theres certainly something for everyone. Firstly I've been giving the GloLite Large Jar (£21.50) in the scent Berry Blossom* a go,  this is one huge, double wicked candle that not only looks super pretty with it's lilac wax and shimmering GloLite technology but it smells incredible too. The scent of Berry Blossom is really sweet and juicy, theres sun-ripened berries runing through this scent and a touch of jasmine and sometimes I get a slight sweet pea vibe too, it's honestly gorgeous so the fact that it has a burn time of a whopping 50-60 hours pleases me a lot.
Next up I was really excited to try the PartyLite Decorative Fragrance Sticks* (£12.95 for a pack of 5), these really intrigued me because usually you would have to burn incense sticks but with PartyLite's offering theres no flame or liquid oil required, you just pop the rolled paper fragrance sticks into a holder and the scent lasts up to 30 days, how amazing is that! I've been giving the Peony scent a whirl which is so nice, it smells just like Peony petals mixed with peachy notes. The scent throw is really impressive for something that doesn't burn, I have mine in the SmartScents White Ceramic Flower Holder* (£9.95) on a shelf at the bottom of my stairs and you can literally smell the Peony scent all the way up my stairs and as soon as you walk into my house, it's lovely. All you need to do is use 1-2 sticks for a small area or 3-5 sticks for larger spaces, the sticks also divide so you snap them in half but for a shorter length than the 30 days.
Then theres the super pretty Butterflies Porcelain Tealight Pair* (£28.95), these are so lightweight and delicate sporting lilac and pink butterflies painted on the front and can be used to either pop votives or tea lights in. As well as looking pretty from the outside the inside of the holders have been painted too which really reflects the shimmer of a tea light or votive and looks super pretty. Talking of tea lights I've been popping the Wild Lemongrass Tea lights* (£6.95 for a pack of 12) into my Butterflies Holders, the scent of these is super strong and if you like the smell of lemon sherbets then you'll love this particular scent from Partylite. Each tea light has an impressive 4-6 hours burn time and really kicks off that fresh lemon scent. 

Overall I'm so impressed with the few things I've tried from the PartyLite Spring Collection, everything smelt and looked amazing and I'm certainly going to be getting some bits for my Mum to try for Mother's Day!

Have you tried any of the PartyLite Spring scents beaut;s? Which is your favourite? I'd love to know!

Yankee Candle NEW 'Cosy By The Fire' Votive Review ♥

Hey beaut's!

Yankee Candle have recently launched lots of new scents for Autumn and Winter 2015 so of course being the Yankee Candle lover that I am I just had to go and stock up. I quickly made my way over to my local garden centre which has a huge range of Yankee Candle's and found that all of their Autumn and  Christmas scents where out and my goodness they look amazing this year so I treated myself to a couple.

One of the first votives I set my eyes on was Cosy By The Fire which is a brand new scent for the Yankee Candle Christmas collection. The scent of Cosy By The Fire is described as 'A warm mix of ginger, clove, and orange combines with woody notes to give the snap of a crackling fire and the comfort of a hot aromatic drink beside it', now doesn't that sound so Autumnal and festive, even the picture on the front of the wrapper makes me feel all warm and cosy he he. I definitely get a warm, cosy vibe when I first light Cosy By The Fire and the ginger, clove and woody notes definitely come through, I also oddly get a slight fresh Christmas tree smell from this too, its not strong but the pine needle fragrance is definitely there. The scent throw for Cosy By The Fire I'd say is medium which is perfect for me, it quickly fills the house with it's warming festive scent and lingers for hours without being overpowering at all. Overall I really enjoyed this new scent from Yankee Candle and would highly recommend it to anyone who likes the really tradition festive scents such as the ginger, cloves, oranges, cinnamon and pine needle.

All the Yankee Candle votive/samplers claim to provides up to 15 hours of fragrance and Cosy By The Fire certainly lasted really well, I think because the scent really lingers you don't have to keep it alight for so long so you can certainly get a good few uses out of it that's for sure.

Yankee Candle 'Wishlist'

Hey girlie's!!!

You will probably know this already if you follow me on Instagram or Twitter but if not then I'm a huge Yankee Candle fan, I just cant get enough of them!!! So today I thought I'd share with you all what Yankee Candles I'm currently lusting after, I've been looking forward to the spring/summer candles coming back out, its so nice and refreshing after all those deep spicy festive scents isn't it? 

Bunny Cake
Firstly I have to start with this beaut of a candle, Bunny Cake!!! I think its so nice that Yankee Candle have decided to bring some Easter themed candles out this year, I don't remember them doing that last year. Bunny Cake is described as having a creamy vanilla, sugary coconut cake scent that I can only imagine will make your house smell amazing. 


Sweet Pink
Sweet Pink is from Yankee Candles new Dream Garden Spring Collection and I have to say it looks lovely. It's a two wick glass tumbler style candle which I think makes a nice change to the usual Yankee Candle glass jars and claims to smell sweet, romantic and floral, I think this will be a gorgeous spring time candle that I'll need to buy he he.

Honey Blossom
This candle is definitely one that's perfect to burn now as it has a deep musky/woody scent to it that can be a reminder of the colder month's whilst having a slight fresh kick to it representing spring time, I think the jar looks really pretty too.


Summer Scoop
I remember getting a sampler of this last summer and loving it so I'm definitely going to pick the larger jar up this year, its smells just like strawberry ice cream so it's definitely one of those candles to burn on a nice summers day. 



White Chocolate Bunnies
The second Easter themed candle I'm after is White Chocolate Bunnies, how sweet. Yankee candle describe the scent as a creamy, sweet white chocolate scent with a touch of vanilla, quite frankly that sounds scrumptious to me he he.



And there you have it, the 5 Yankee Candles I'm currently lusting after!!! Are you girlie's addicted to Yankee Candles like me he he?? What are your favourites for spring/summer?? I'd love to know.

Non Beauty Favourites | January

Hey girlie's!!! 

I'm back with something slightly different today and something I've never actually done on my blog before and that's a NON beauty favourites post. As it's a new year and all that jazz, I thought I'd switch things up abit and add a new monthly feature to my blog, I hope you girlie's all like the idea. 
One Tree Hill
Arrhhh One Tree Hill is probably my favourite TV show ever!!! Even though series nine, which finished last year, was the last in the series it hasn't stopped me getting my box sets out and watching them alot recently. I love nothing more that getting into bed nice and early all snuggled up and having a One Tree Hill marathon, and January has certainly been the perfect month do just that!!!

Weekly Planner
I'd been after a weekly planner or organiser for ages, I just wanted to make sure 2014 was going to be an organised year for me in the blogging world, my Mum bless her, found a cute weekly planner and kindly bought it for me and I have to say girls, if you don't have one, you need one. It's helped me dramatically with my blogging schedule and to be honest I write everything and anything on there that I need to do or remember, it's brilliant!!!

Celebrity Big Brother
I have been obsessed with this years CBB, don't get me wrong I watch every single series no matter how good or bad it may be ha ha but wow... This years CBB has been a corker!!! The arguing has been hilarious, I've never wished so much for a couple as much as I do for Sam and Ollie and Lee Ryan from Blue has shown the nation he's an absolute rat!!! I was really routing for Dappy or Ollie to win but I'm still happy Jim took the crown... I bet Linda was furious ha ha.

Yankee Candles
I'm pretty sure if you follow me on Instagram or Twitter you will know I'm slightly addicted to Yankee Candles and this month has been no different, I got quite alot of candles for Christmas but that hasn't stopped me buying some more throughout January ha ha, I just cant resist he he. I literally burn Yankee Candles everyday in my house and at the moment I've been loving 'Beach Walk', It smells amazing and its rather refreshing after all the Christmas spicy scents. I really cant wait to start buying the spring/summer candles though, I particularly like the look of Bunny Cake, Summer Scoop and Sweet Pink.


 What have you been loving throughout January??? I'd love to know!!!

The Autumn Tag


Hey girlie's!!!

It's fair to say i absolutely love this time of year, so when i saw this Autumn Tag floating about on the blogosphere he he i knew i had to join in, so here we go....

Favourite thing about Autumn?
There's so many things i love about Autumn, the fact we can get out our snuggle jumpers and pj's back out, the spicy scented candles reappear and the evening hot chocolates come back out to play, its just so lovely. I also get really into baking and cooking when it's cooler, there's nothing like a home baked gingerbread man or stew that wont make you love and appreciate that its Autumn time. 

Favourite Drink?
It's all about the hot chocolates and cups of tea with biccy's to dunk for me, although I do enjoy a gingerbread latte when I'm out and about Christmas shopping!!

Favourite Scent/Candle?
I'm a huge candle fan as it is, my house is full of them!! But in Autumn i love to stock up on lots of berry, cinnamon and spicy scented candles, it just makes your house smell so warming and wintry.

Best Lipstick?
I must admit I'm not a huge lipstick wearer in the Autumn, I'm all about lip balms to keep my lips nice and moisturised so they wont chap in the colder weather however, i do love the berry red colours on a day when i fancy wearing some lippy. My favourite at the moment is MUA shade 1, check out the full review here.

Go to Moisturiser?
I will just be sticking to my trusty moisturiser which is my 'Simple Rich Moisteriser'.

Go to colour for your eyes?
I'm all about the neutrals, usually i mix and match the shades in my Urban Decay Naked Palette but i just recently got a Mac Quad Palette so I'm sure ill throw All That Glitters and Satin Taupe into the mix as well.

Favourite Outfit to wear?
This is super easy for me, I'm all about pretty dresses with thick tights, boots and a chunky knitted cardigan to throw over the top.

Autumn Treat?
Hmmm my Autumn treat will probably be a nice new coat and some new winter boots. I've also been eyeing up the Mac Cranberry eye shadow too, naughty me.

Favourite place to be?
As cheesy as it might sound, but my favourite place to be in the Autumn is snuggled up on the sofa with my boyfriend watching a movie, preferably either the Harry Potter's or Home Alone 1 and 2 as they always make me feel all cosy and ready for the colder month's.

I hope you enjoyed reading my take on the Autumn Tag!!!
I tag everyone who reads this to get involved and to get excited about Autumn!!
