Sarah’s January Favourites

So after the longest January EVER I can finally talk about my favourites. It feels like I’ve a LOAD of favourites for my face so I’m going to talk through those first and then later on come onto my more lifestyle favourites.

My skin has been the best it’s ever been recently.

Bare Minerals Complexion Rescue  Hydrating Gel Cream

I have loved this stuff for a while back it’s back into my everyday makeup now as I have been looking through my skincare and makeup for products with SPF. I hardly have any! But this has a SPF of 30 which is awesome. I know the weather isn’t hot here but I know that even on a cloudy day, the sun is still there. He doesn’t disappear! Read More

Paddywax Urban Collection Salted Grapefruit Candle Review

Our friends at The Fragrance Lounge kindly sent me a couple of candles from the Paddywax Urban Collection, which you can read about HERE.

Salted Grapefruit has top notes of Lemon and Grapefruit, middle notes of Red Berry and base notes of Orange and Sea Salt. It’s a very uplifting and bright aroma that will awaken your senses. The citrus notes are very tart and the salt element really adds some zing to the fragrance. Read More

Paddywax Urban Collection Fig & Olive Candle Review

Our friends at The Fragrance Lounge kindly sent me a couple of candles from the Paddywax Urban Collection, which you can read about HERE. The first one I’ll be reviewing is a Fig & Olive 3.5oz/99g candle. It’s taken me so long to do this first review because I’ve been really savouring this candle.

Candle Spa – Pomegranate & White Fig Luxury Candle Review

So happy to bring you the first of two reviews for Candle Spa. Sam wrote about their company already and today I’m bringing you a candle review.  They sent me their Pomegranate and White Fig scents in candle (30cl) and reed diffuser form. Everyone in the world knows how much pomegranate has been a big scent choice of mine in the last few years. There is something very intense about the scent that really draws me into it.

A stylish and beautiful blend of exotic fresh fig fruit, fresh fig fruit, pink pepper, cardamom, frankincense and citrus, leading to a heart of clove, patchouli, lily, blended with fruity blackcurrant, warming Amber and woody fig bark.

Sounds gorgeous doesn’t it? The soy wax candle itself is beautiful, I love the clean and white vessel that it’s in. it’s good quality too and can easily be cleaned out after use to recycle it. Which I love! Read More
