Current Candle Loves


I love having a deliciously scented candle burning while I'm blogging and wanted to share a few of my favourites with you.  I got a really good deal on all of these Yankee Candles from T K Maxx, they were about £6.99 to £9.99 - nearly half the typical RRP.  

I probably wouldn't have picked Clean Cotton for myself - it was a present - but it's turned out to have a really lovely scent, especially if you've got people coming round.  I love gourmand scents but I bet the infamous Vanilla Cupcake never hits discount stores.  I made do with Blueberry Scone and Lemon Zest.  They smell incredible to me but may be too sweet for some - especially if you live with a man! Sweet Pea is nice, but I don't think I'd repurchase.

I was sent the NEOM Serenity candle and while I wouldn't have selected that particular scent myself as I don't really get the Vanilla coming through, it is quite comforting and the quality of the candle is amazing - it's made from natural vegetable waxes and pure essential oils rather than paraffin wax and synthetic fragrances. It's also burning a lot more evenly than the Yankee Candles, but that may be to do with it being in a smaller container.

I'm getting through my candles at a rate of knots, so please leave your recommendations below on any others I should try!

Favourite New Eye Products - No7 Stay Perfect Eye Mousse in Pewter and Fudge


I find it hard to let those No7 £5 off vouchers go to waste, but since I've stockpiled enough eye make up remover, wipes and hot cloth cleanser to do me until 2015 I had to find something else to spend it on.  Down the years I've tried a lot of No7 make up courtesy of these vouchers and have been left distinctly underwhelmed by most of the permanent line, apart from the Stay Perfect Foundation, Tinted Moisturiser and some of the Limited Edition collections.  

The Pewter eye mousse caught my eye first as I am going through a major obsession with taupey/purple/grey eye shadows at the moment (hello Bobbi Brown Fawn and Chanel Fauve!) and thought this would create the perfect base. Plus how easy is this to swipe on in the morning rush?!  I've only tried them with eyelid primer and they 'stay perfect' all day, even in the heat, but I'm yet to risk them on their own.  I also go over with some shadow to set further.  Both of these colours really compliment blue eyes.  

I'm not sure I'd be happy to stump up the full £9.50 per tube as they are pretty small and it's a little hard to control how much you squeeze out, so there can be a little wastage, but £4.50 is a pretty good bargain.  My next No7 voucher has the lovely pink champagne colour's name on it.  There are about 3 or 4 other shades in the range so it's definitely worth checking out if you have one of these vouchers burning a hole in your pocket!
