Yankee Candle Mango Peach Salsa Large Jar

Yankee Candle Mango Peach Salsa Large Jar - £19.99

The Mango Peach Salsa scent from Yankee Candle is on of my all time favourites from this brand, everything from the gorgeous yellow orange sort of colour of the wax to the scrumptious looking picture on the front of the jar. The picture makes me think of having a tropical fruit salad, so does the scent.

 

Oh the scent! The combination of mango and peach is just genius! And it does indeed smell like a tropical fruit salad, or smoothie or a nice fruity cocktail, you take your pick! I have to say that peaches are one of my favourite fruits to each, especially in the summer months, whereas mangos i'm not a fan of to eat but I love them in things like beauty products and of course in this candle.

 

Yankee Candle say that apart from this candle containing scents of mango and peaches, it has citrus, ginger flowers and pink pepper. Now apart from the citrus I have no clue about the other scents but it is an intense fruity smell, so if that is really not your cup of tea then I wouldn't recommend this. But if you lust after scents like a Calippo ice lolly or the classic Sunny D drink then this will be right up your street.

 

For any of those new to the Large Jar format of the Yankee Candles, these will last up to 150 hours if burned correctly aka if you let the wax pool right to the edge of the jar and you burn the candle for a minimum of 3 hours at a time. And trim your wicks every time you light them, or just invest in a wick trimmer which is a real essential in my opinion.

 

I have to say i'm very impressed with this candle in particular, the wax pooled to the edge very quickly and easily and it has evenly gone down without much (if at all) assistance by me with foil. It's easily the lowest maintenance large jar that i've ever had from Yankee Candle, and i'm not far off finishing this one at the moment.

 

Sadly Yankee Candle have seemed to have discontinued this scent (weeps!) but i've still managed to find it in most Yankee Candle stockists i've gone to. And online it's easily avaliable so don't fret yet guys. I have stocked up on this scent in the tealight form though so i've got enough to last me quite a while, but it won't stop me buying more if I see some around.

 

If you're after a fruity candle perfect for summer then this is the one!

April 2014 Favourites!

We’re already at the end of this month, I can’t quite believe it! I thought March went rather slowly but April has just zoomed by. Also the weather has got nicer (i've actually been wearing shorts!) and the nights are lighter too, oh I just love this time of year.

Anyway let's get on to my favourites.

LOreal Elvive Extraordinary Oil - (review) 

I got the oil a long time ago and kept forgetting about it. But I’ve now put it near the area where I dry my hair and it reminds me to use it. I’ve been putting it on my damp/wet hair before I blow dry it and I’ve noticed a definite difference in my hair in that it is a lot less frizzy and more smooth after I’ve dried it. And most of all it has become very soft! I can’t believe I’ve neglected this for so long, but I won’t now I know how good it is.

 

Mac Cut a Caper Lipstick

 

I have really been feeling the peachy/coral makeup look, it must be the weather or just the feeling of spring in the air. But I gravitated back to one of my Mac lipsticks in the ever popular Cut a Caper. It's sadly a limited edition shade so you can't get your hands on it, but i'm sure it will pop up again in another collection at some point. It's a lovely pinky coral shade and great for spring and summer.

 

 L'Oreal Extraordinaire Liquid Lipstick - Rose Symphony  (review)

 

This is my newest addition to my lipstick collection, and I only got this midway through April but I've not worn much else. It's either been this or Cut a Caper. I've done a blog post about this lipstick if you want to check it out. But i've really enjoyed wearing this, such a lovely bright colour!

 

Fashionista Blushes - Juicy Apricot and Rose Glow

 

I've really neglected these blushes in the past year or so since i've got them, but i've dug them out of my makeup stash and started using them and i've been enjoying them. They are only avaliable in Superdrug stores and they are cheap blushes but they are very pigmented blushes and last well on my cheeks. Give them a go!

LUSH Honey I Washed the Kids Soap

 

The last of my LUSH products that I got for Christmas in a giftset, but i've really loved it! A popular soap from LUSH which has a great caramel/honey scent. Just divine! It's not pictured above as I literally just finished it yesterday.

 

Estee Lauder Raisins Eyeshadow Duo - (review)

 

A discontinued product (weeps) but a gorgeous one that I can't leave ignored in my drawer. I have actually only been using the left side of this palette for some reason, maybe I prefer the more plum/wine colour for the autumn/winter but the shimmery champagne colour has been so nice to wear.

 

Random Favourites!

 

Yankee Candle White Chocolate Bunnies Large Jar - (review)

 

Well it has been Easter time, how can I not include an Easter themed Yankee Candle in my April favourites? :) A lovely white chocolate and vanilla, creamy sort of scent. If you want it, run and order it quickly before it goes off the website. Again this isn't pictured as I used up the jar this month and it went in the recycling last week.

 

New Look - Tan Asymmetric Strappy Wedge Sandals

 

Now I wouldn't call myself fashion conscious at all really, I go for comfort more than anything! Having said that i'm a big fan of tan accessories like bags and shoes, and I am always on the look out for some good wedges that aren't a ridiculous height! (As most are!) I don't know about you but I like to be able to walk in my shoes. I found these in New Look and love them, I wore them throughout the Easter weekend and when the weather has been nice outside i've worn them. I can tell they'll be my new summer favourite.

Frozen

 

If you haven't heard of this film you must have been living under a rock for the last few months. Frozen was such a hyped up film, and I never got round to seeing it in the cinema, but my sister recently got it on DVD and I borrowed it off her and like everyone else it seems, I am in love with this film! Great animation, great characters, great story and the songs! Oh the songs! Just please watch it if you haven't already.

 

 

What were your April 2014 Favourites?

Yankee Candle White Chocolate Bunnies - Easter 2014!

Yankee Candle White Chocolate Bunnies Large Jar - £19.99

I'm finally back with another blog post for you guys, again apologies for the delay but better late than never I say. So I thought i'd kick things off with talking about the Easter offerings that Yankee Candle have brought to the table for 2014, one of the products that they brought out was this, the Yankee Candle Large Jar candle in the scent White Chocolate Bunnies.

First of all the packaging of this candle, well the picture on the front really, is just so very very cute! Anything with bunnies on makes me want it, and it's so very Easter isn't it?

What I really like about the Easter releases is that they've put the date of 2014 in the bottom right hand corner of the jar, so for any real Yankee Candle collectors out there (I know some of you don't even like to burn the Limited Edition ones) this would be a perfect addition to add to your collection. Or when you've eventually finished burning it, if you keep the jar it'll be a nice reminder of when this scent was released.

The scent of this White Chocolate Bunnies candles is not one hundred percent white chocolate. I've previously had a chocolate candle from Yankee Candle before, which my family hated with a passion as it was so strong of chocolate, but as this is white chocolate it is more subtle, and also I think it has a vanilla scent too. I think it is similar to the Yankee Candle Vanilla Cupcake, but with added chocolate notes to it.

I would get this candle again if it was part of the permanent line, but it isn't so I don't know if i'll ever be able to get this scent again. I do wish with the Limited Edition ones that they weren't just avaliable in a Large Jar. I always buy the votive/sampler candles of new releases to try them out, as a Large Jar is not only pretty expensive at almost £20.00, but they take a very long time to burn. A small jar would be very welcomed to the Limited Edition lines for me, personally.

Cannot fault this candle at all, apart from the black mark on the label which I didn't notice until after I had started burning it, but oh well it's not too bad.

If you want to get your hands on this candle, then i'd order it quickly online as it won't be around for much longer!

Hoppy Easter!!

Discount Outlet - Mini Haul!

 

 This is the first haul i've written about on my blog, it's not a particularly big haul at all, in fact it is rather on the small side with just three items (well a lot more if you count the second one as not just one product, which it isn't really), but I wanted to share the great deals that i've found for you guys!

 

First of all I must say this shopping spree was rather impromptu, and my sister and I only wanted to go to the Yankee Candle shop in the outlet as we know how much of a good deal the offers in the shop can be, so we headed to the Bridgend Designer Outlet which is about a 40 minute drive from where we live and also had some lunch and browsed around the shops and spent more than I was even contemplating buying when we went there.

 

1.) Yankee Candle Sun and Sand Medium Pillar Candle - £7.50

 

When going to a discount shop for Yankee Candles you never know what candles you are going to find, and this time round I found a load of the Sun and Sand medium pillar candles. I already love this scent and it has now been discontinued so I thought i'd get another one. Also the main draw point to it was that these medium pillar candles normally retail for £14.99 but this was discounted to £7.50, which is an amazing price for the amount of wax you get! As I said this is discontinued and I can't find it online so I can't link it for you, sadly.

 

2.) The Body Shop - Coconut set - £14.50

 

This was my largest buy of the day, and I don't even know what this set is called and you can't buy this online at The Body Shop so I couldn't link it on this post (I have linked the Coconut range as a whole). But this set contains the Coconut Eau de toilette, Coconut Shower Creme, Coconut Body Milk Lotion, Coconut Soap and the Strawberry Lipbalm. I initially wanted to just get the Body Milk but that was £8.00 and when I spotted this for £14.50 I thought for value for money for all those products I had to pick it up. It normally retails for £24.50 so that saves me a tenner!

 

3.) The Body Shop - Vineyard Peach Shower Gel - £3.00

 

This was a complete impulse purchase, as I was in the clearance section of the same Body Shop store and I smelt this and I instantly wanted it, it's just a pure peach scent! I'm going to really enjoy using this I can tell. I'm not sure if the Vineyard Peach line is limited edition, or it's new and it's selling out fast, but it's not in stock online at the moment. Anyone please feel free to let me know on that one. I really hope it's not limited edition, it smells so good!

 

 

I will do a more indepth review on each of these products, including individual reviews on the coconut products within the set, in the coming weeks.

 

 

Love

Wishing for Treats #2

Here we go, ding ding, round 2 of Wishing for Treats!

These are the products that i've been longing for over the month of February 2014.

1.) Yankee Candle White Chocolate Bunnies Large Jar - £19.99

 

When I first heard this was being released for Easter 2014 I got very excited! The picture itself on the candle is ridiculously cute and also just the scent of white chocolate is divine, i've actually gone into my local Yankee Candle place and they have this candle and I really like the scent, so i'm tempted to treat myself to this ready for Easter.

 

2.) Yankee Candle Bunny Tealight Holder & Yankee Candle Bunny Illumalid

 

Yes more Yankee Candle things, and yes there is a definite rabbit/easter theme going on here. But these three things are all part of their Easter line and they released the candle before these two accessories so i've only just in the last few days found out about them. I love rabbits and to have two candle accessories to do with rabbits I instantly want them, they are so cute!  The tealight holder (Left) retails for £5.99 and the Illumalid (Right) retails for £6.99.

 

3.) L'Oreal Elvive Extraordinary Oil Mist - £9.99

 

I have forgotten how much I like using hair serums/oils on my hair after i've blow dried my hair, and I recently began using the oil version of the Extraordinary Oil again after discovering it in my drawer. Once i've used that up I really fancy giving this a go, as it looks almost identical but in mist form and i'm intrigued to see how it compares to the original.

 

 

 

4.) Silver Glitter Round Mid Court Heels - Dorothy Perkins - £27.00

 

I am a bridesmaids for my best friend at the end of this year and we have to wear silver shoes with our dresses, and i've been searching high and low for months for the perfect pair and I may have found them with these. I want quite a low heel and these don't look too bad, I need to go and look at them in person and try them on and then i'll know for sure. But they do look rather snazzy!

 

Mac Mineralize Blush 'Petal Power' - £20.00

 

Just how gorgeous is that blush in the picture! Like seriously beautiful! My favourite kinds of blush are pink coral blushes with gold shimmer and this is that in a nutshell. This blush is a mineralize blush, so more expensive than the standard blushes from Mac, and also this is a limited edition blush as part of the Fantasy of Flowers collection for Spring 2014, so I need to run out and grab this from Debenhams or House of Fraser at the end of March.

 

 

What treats are you wishing for this month?

Yankee Candle Snowfall Tart Burner & Votive Holder

Yankee Candle Snowfall Accessories - Wax Burner and Votive Holder (L-R)

 

If you've been reading my blog for a while you will have come to realise i'm a Yankee Candle fan and I just wanted to show you two of my favourite accessories that I use to burn my smaller candles in.

These are the Snowfall Candle Accessories by Yankee Candle, on the left is the Wax Burner and the one on the right is the Votive Holder. These are the accessories that I use in the autumn and winter, yes i'm that into candles that I retire these around March time and swap them over to the accessories that I use for spring and summer. I can't be the only one who does that? .... Surely.

Hmm, anyway I remember seeing this range in the shop and instantly falling in love with them! The design of the Snowfall range is just gorgeous, with the little snowman and the trees and a little house with a yellow window which lights up when you have a tealight in there. Also the snow falling is a sweet added touch and you can see the shadow of the snow falling on the wall, or wherever you leave your votive holder/wax burner.

As you can see I have a melted wax tart in the top of the wax burner, I find it very easy to remove all the wax melts from the top of the burner. It burns them well and I genuinly don't have any faults to say about this product. Same can be said for the Votive Holder, just incredibly well made, very good quality and just wonderful decorative pieces for your home.


These accessories are I think at least two years old, but they are still avaliable although somewhat limitely. But I have managed to find them online.


Snowfall Wax Burner - £14.25


Snowfall Votive Holder - £6.49

Yankee Candle Wick Trimmer

 Yankee Candle Wick Trimmer - £4.99

 

Being a Yankee Candle fan, you sometimes forget about the accessories that Yankee also offer as we all focus more towards the jar candles, tealights etc. But i'm here today to tell you about one of the most useful accessories that Yankee Candle offer and that is the Yankee Candle Wick Trimmers.

 

The Wick Trimmers are exactly what they sound like, they trim your wicks on your candles and I honestly cannot believe how i've managed so long without one of these babies in my Yankee Candle stash. You can use wick trimmers on any of your candles that have wicks, as the two photos below show you can use them to trim the wicks of your votive candles (right) or the wick trimmers are particularly useful to trim the wicks of your jar candles like you can see because of how long they are you can get right to the bottom of large and medium jars.

 

 

 You can almost think of them as long scissors, and you place the bottom of the wick trimmers flat against the wax and close them together to cut the wick, which will then stay in the little dish part at the bottom of the wick trimmers, it's a really clever little accessory!

 

What is also great is that the wick trimmers will cut off exactly enough of the wick so you are left with the perfect height (one eighth of an inch) to start or continue burning your candles.

 I bought these after I got quite far down my large jar of my Honey and Spice fragrance by Yankee Candle, and after struggling for ages with trying to get my hand to use scissors near the bottom of the jar I gave up and went to my local Yankee Candle supplier and got my hands on one of these.

I honestly cannot tell you how brilliant these are, if you are a Yankee Candle fan and you haven't got one of these yet then I really urge you to run out and go and get yourself one. These would also make great little gifts for friends/family who are Yankee Candle fans and it's something a little different but very handy nonetheless.

 

Currently these Wick Trimmers are only avaliable in silver and I don't know if there are any plans to bring these out in other colours, but they look great as they are and do the job perfectly.

Yankee Candle Cranberry Chutney Small Jar

 

Yankee Candle Cranberry Chutney Small Jar - RRP £7.99

 

I recently got this small jar for Christmas from my sister, it's a recently discontinued scent by Yankee Candle and we luckily managed to grab the last one in our local Yankee Candle shop. My sister bought it for me and wrapped it up as my Christmas present, and I just really wish i'd discovered this scent sooner.

 

 

Scent combination of:

Cranberries, orange zest, rosemary, raisins and golden honey.

 

These ingredients contain some of my favourite scents and favourite things to eat and it just smells divine! It's rather strange in that it is a sumptuous rich smell but it is not at all overpowering, then again it is a small jar and that won't provide a big room with a large hit of fragrance, you'd be better off with a large jar or a wax tart for a small room. Yet I do adore the small jars, not only are they rather cute looking but they last longer than a wax tart/melt or a sampler/votive candle.

 

When I took this picture the candle was about halfway through a burn and has not reached the edge of the glass yet as you can see. The small jars will burn anywhere from 25 to 40 hours which is quite a long time for such a small candle.

 

The small jars make lovely little gifts for anyone, and with the whole cranberry theme to this candle i'm going to keep burning it to try and keep the Christmas feeling alive.

 

As I said this is a recent discontinued scent, oh how I wish Yankee would stop that but I understand the logic behind it. Nevertheless you may still find some in some shops if you are extremely lucky, but your best bet is to keep searching online.

 

I've found this very scent in a small jar

Yankee Candle Gingerbread Illuma-Lid

 

Yankee Candle Gingerbread Illuma-Lid - £5.95

 

If you're a Yankee Candle fan, you may know what an Illuma-Lid is, but if you are new to the brand or just candles in general, or if you are just reading this thinking

"What the heck is an illuma lid?"

Well i'll tell you.

 

An Illuma-Lid is an accessory you put on the top of your Medium or Large jar Yankee Candles (or maybe other candles, i've never tried it on other ones). I must also stress these do not fit on their Small Jar Candles! This Illuma-Lid is specifically designed by Yankee Candle, and I don't even know if other brands of candles make anything like this.

 

The point of the Illuma-Lids are not just for decoration, they hold a purpose. They help the candle burn more evenly and cleaner as it holds the heat and stops it from escaping completely. So your candle will burn across evenly to the edges and more quickly too, i've found.

 

 

This is not the only Illuma-Lid that I have, I have the bronze leaves one and I think that is very pretty but it is not a patch on this design. It's got Gingerbread on it! (Which you know I love!). And all the sweet cakes and Christmas themed things and the almost icing sugar look to it, it's just too beautiful to leave in a shop, it needed to come home with me. I bought this and got my mum to wrap it up for me for Christmas this year actually, so i've been waiting for weeks to use it and now I can!

 

 

As you can see this is how it fits on top of my large jar, and I just love it. Beware that when burning your candle, after a while this Illuma-Lid will get very hot! But then again you might have predicted that yourselves.

 

I think these Illuma-Lids are very clever little accessories that every Yankee Candle fan should have for their candles, and they are reasonably priced too which is amazing considering the design and everything that went in to making it, it's gorgeous!

 

This is the last festive related Yankee Candle product that i'll be showing you, just needed to sneak this in now as I couldn't really blog about this in a few months, it would just be strange to be talking about gingerbread and Christmas in the Spring.

 

I bought this at an outlet near me, but i've found this illuma-lid online

for £5.95

Yankee Candle Sweet Shop Gift Set

 

 

You know when you're Yankee Candle obsession is reaching new heights, when you're checking a week in advance for Yankee Candle shows on QVC. Yes I hold my hands up, i'm a mad candle lady! I'm a Yankee fan, all the way and as I was tuning in to watch one of their shows I saw they were doing this giftset and I instantly fell in love. The only problem was that it came with another gift set called Christmas Memories, and it contained a lot of (well you guessed it) Christmas fragranced candles, with scents like pine and cinnamon which don't appeal to me at all so I really didn't want that gift set. And I wasn't willing to pay the £30 odd pounds for only one box really, so I watched in envy and eventually forgot about it.

 

Then about a month later these boxes appeared online and in my local Yankee Candle shop, and the best news of all I could buy them separately! So I rushed out and bought the Sweet Shop Gift Set and here it is in all it's gingerbread house looking glory.

 

It is one of the most beautiful gift sets i've ever seen of any product, let alone candle products. Just look at it! I don't even want to use them, I just want to keep staring it. But the scents are too good not to use.

 

As you can see by the first two pictures, this set contains 12 different votives/samplers. 6 on one side and six on the other. Another appealing factor to this gift set is that it contains two US exclusive fragrances which you cannot get over here in the UK, which are Whoopie Pie and Gingerbread. I was very excited for these two in particular, but also to get my hands on some old favourites which have recently been discontinued :(

 

Now i'll go into all the scents individually.

 

 

The first side contains:

 

Salted Caramel - It does indeed smell like caramel, a very rich caramel scent. I'm a little wary of burning this one as it's one of the strongest but i'll certainly give it a go.

 

Cranberry Ice - I was given a Cranberry Ice votive for Christmas last year and I liked it, it's a lovely cranberry scent with a hint of fresh coolness to it.

 

Whoopie Pie - I've never even heard, seen or smelt a Whoopie Pie before but from the picture alone I want to try one. And this one is a straight up chocolate scent, yum!

 

 

Also on this side contains:

 

Sugared Apple - I bought tealights of this scent for my best friend for Christmas, and I wish i'd picked some up for myself at the time. I'm glad I have this for myself, it's a fresh, cool and sweet gorgeous apple scent. Lovely!

 

Snowflake Cookie - More of a sweet cookie smell, compared to the other cookie scent we will come on to in a bit. One of the newer scents for this year and i'm eager to try it.

 

Cherries on Snow - Oh my goodness! One of my favourite ever Yankee scents, gorgeous fresh cherry smell. It's recently been discontinued (why oh why?!) and i'm so glad to have a back up of this scent. One of the main reasons I wanted to get this set, just for this scent.

 

 

 

The other side contains:

 

Red Velvet - Everyone loves this scent, and i've yet to try it but it's a cakey sort of scent and actually very nice! Looking forward to trying it.

 

Christmas Cookie - My favourite Christmas scent, also recently been discontinued. Very happy to have another one of these to burn. A gorgeous vanilla cookie scent.

 

Honey and Spice - For someone who doesn't like spicy scents, this is my only exception. You can smell more honey and sugar and even a hint of cocoa. A sumptuous gorgeous grown up evening scent I think. One of my favourite all time scents.

 

 

The final three are:

 

Merry Marshmallow - Such a cute picture on the front isn't it? This one as you'd expect, by sweet marshmallows. It's a new scent for this year too.

 

Gingerbread - This smells just like gingerbread. I must admit this is a very strong scent and it's a bit too much for my liking. But if you like Gingerbread scents or strong scents you would adore this!

 

Strawberry Buttercream - One of the weaker scented candles in this set, it does have a nice creamy strawberry smell but it's not as strong as I would like. Still lovely though and fits in well in this set.

 

 

I bought this set for myself a few weeks before Christmas and gave it to my mum to wrap up and give it to me for Christmas, and as Christmas has been and gone now I can finally start using this gift set. I cannot wait!! It's a fantastic set by Yankee Candle, full marks to them!

 

Also great value for money as these votives/samplers retail for £1.80 each and would come to £21.60 if you bought all these individually. I've found this set online for £18.99 here so there is a saving there to be had if you are interested in this set for yourself, or as a late gift for that Yankee Candle lover in your life.

My Favourite Christmas Candle! - Yankee Candle Christmas Cookie

 

Yankee Candle Christmas Cookie Large Jar - £19.99

 We are well into that time of year where you just want to be snuggled up indoors on the dark and cold evenings and have a nice candle burning. Just feels even more wintery to me. And as it will soon be Christmas why not burn a Christmas themed candle?

So i've gone back to an old favourite from last year, Christmas Cookie.

 

If you're a fan of candles, or just have a bit of a candle addiction like I do, then you will be aware of the brand Yankee Candle. They are the world's best selling candle company, and without a shadow of a doubt my favourite too. I've tried many candles from different brands and they never come close to Yankee's offerings. The scents are amazing and just the whole design and look of them is beautiful, as are the pictures! Oh the pictures on the front are just amazing! Makes me want them even more.

 

For anyone who does not know about Yankee Candle, their candles range in sizes anything from their little wax melts and samplers which are under £2 and will last you about 15 hours or so, to their large jars like I have here which will last you a whopping 150 hours of burn time! Which is brilliant.

I picked this particular Large Jar up from House of Fraser in the sale back in November for about £15, so it was a bit cheaper. I don't ever buy the Large Jar candles for the simple reason I don't want to fork out £20 for a candle but if they are on offer, or if it's a scent that I absolutely adore then I will take the plunge.

 

The Christmas Cookie scent smells just like you'd imagine from the picture on the front, it smells like biscuits and cookies and vanilla, buttery goodness! Oh my, it's so good! If you don't like kind of bakery or vanilla scented candles then you may not like this one. It's not the strongest candle i've ever had from Yankee Candle, but that's what I like about it. You walk into the room and it smells of the candle but it's not too overpowering.  

 

 

I have some bad news for you kids, this Christmas Cookie scent has recently become discontinued *sad face*. I still can't understand this as I was lead to believe this was their best selling Christmas fragrance. But there we go, they have to make room for new scents I suppose. But if you look in places like House of Fraser, Clinton Cards, garden centres you'll find them, and of course you'll have the best luck online.

 

I tracked down this very candle in Large Jar form:

What's your favourite Christmas Candle?
