Flamingo Candles Mermaid Crush Purple/Pink Ombre Candle Review

Have I ever said how much I adore the colour purple?

I LOVE IT! Not a little, a lot. This candle really made my heart sing PURPLE. I love the ombre trend and especially in a candle it really brings out the gradual difference in colours. It’s obviously perfect for the mermaid theme too. Flamingo Candles know me well it seems.

Who doesn’t want to be a mermaid!?

The Bronte Candle Company Pistachio Delight Candle Review

The Bronte Candle Company’s products are all handmade with 100% soy wax and the finest quality ingredients.  I was recently sent a Pistachio Delight scented candle to review. The fragrance is described as “the creamy scent of pistachio, mixed with creamy vanilla and fluffy sweet marshmallow.”  YUM!

I think pistachio is such a unique aroma, it’s nutty but it’s like a creamy, slightly salty, delicate nutty fragrance and when it’s mixed with rich vanilla and sugary sweet marshmallow it makes for such a decadent and delicious scent. It made me so hungry, I wanted to eat my candle!

Esscentual Candles kindly sent me some of their completely handmade 100% soy wax candles to the review. You can read my previous reviews HERE. The next one I tried out was their Morning Dew candle, which is a perfect scent for Autumn.

Morning Dew contains a top note of freshly cut grass, a heart note of white florals and an oak base note. It’s like walking through the forest on crisp, Autumn morning.
This would make a great candle for the men in your life, it’s like fresh cut grass but better and manlier, it has some musky and citrus elements too. Read More
