Luxury Candles from Party Lite #review

Candles who doesn't love them! at night time once the boys are asleep I find there is no better way to relax and unwind filling the room with a sweet smelling aroma and they just give a completely different feel to the room for me it just makes that mummy quiet time just that little bit more my own.

I was asked if I would like to review some candles from PartyLite and as I love them of course I agreed
The candles came carefully and well packed so they were all in one piece when they arrived there was a heart shaped tea light holder, a pack of three candles (forbidden fantasy) and trio of candles Just Desserts fragrances,  (nutcracker sweet and sugarplum fairies)

The first candles I tried out were the trio of just deserts candles nutcracker sweet and the sugarplum fairies both of these were really sweet they smelt amazing before I had even got them out of the box and lit them they reminded me of a sweetie Christmas scent the Petite jars are decorated with a pretty white decals. they are 7 cm in height. Pink and white striped speciality packaging. and have a Burn time of 20-30 hours each.




The second thing I tried was the heart shaped tea light holder made from glass with a silvery finish it has an antique feel about it, it lets a lot of light out from the candle even though the glass looks quite dark in its effect its a really dainty little holder.





the last and final candles that I tried were the luxury forbidden fantasy white candle set - these were my definite favorite they smell so nice, again before I had even got them out of the box you could smell there scent it is quite sweet but not too overpowering, each candle has its own scent, blush, flint and kiss so you can burn them alone or all together I must admit the smell is beautiful and the have a real soft burn to them.





Over all I absolutely loved the candles from party lite I am definitely there new biggest fan. the room smelt amazing even after the flames had been blown out. I love the glasses that they have all come in they are sturdy and classic and would look pretty on any shelf. With them all having such a long burn time they can be used again and again. Thanks Party Lite!

Potters Crouch Christmas candles #Review

I love candles, I always have, I love the different scents, I love watching the flame flicker, I always associate candles with relaxation, so when I was offered the chance to review some lovely Christmas candles I said yes, I definitely need the relaxing time whilst its Christmas although I do love Christmas it can be pretty stressful at times.    

Potter Crouch are based within Hertfordshire, each candle is handmade, hand-labelled and hand-finished I have to say I love the hand made labels and the fact that all of this is done within their barn conversion. Potters Crouch only use the finest ingredients within each of their candles, and each scent is original and created exclusively by themselves. Each candle has an approximated burning time of 50 hours, which is amazing! The candles are priced at great price of £8.50 great for how long they are going to last.

I was sent two of there lovely candles to review frankincense and myrrh and Christmas.



When the candles arrived they were neatly packaged within a box, and came with three mini chocolates and a leaflet on how to make the most of your candles. Potters Crouch suggest the first time you burn your candles, you do so until the pool of wax reaches the end of the tin. This increases the burn life of the candle, and allows it to release more fragrance.

The first candle that I tried was the Christmas scented candle, as soon as you take the lid off you can smell the scent of it, "wonderful opulent spices blended with pine forests and rich orangey scents" It had a scent of spice about it, I have to say I did like this candle but spices isn't one of my favorite scents its a personal choice, I just favour other scents more than spices.

The second candle I tried was the frankincense and myrrrh again with this candle as soon as you take the lid off the sent of the candle oozes out of the tin,"Frankincense is characterized by a balsamic-spicy, slightly lemon, and typical fragrance of incense, with a conifer-like undertone". I love the scent of this candle its a bit of a man scent if I am quite honest its like and aftershave or deodorant its really fresh and lovely I found it really relaxing.

Over all I love these products there are so many candles to choose from on there website, they would make a perfect stocking filler or gift for Christmas but they have a candle for every occasion and for all year round there is something everyone. These candles are a great price burn evenly and smell lovely leaving your home with a relaxed aroma I would definitely recommend them.
