In The Home | Primark Candles

Now, I am such a sucker for a pretty or amazing smelling candle. If they look nice I'll buy them and if they smell nice I'll buy them. I'm now always buying candles! Last Christmas Primark came up top trumps for me with their candles, especially in the scent Sweet Champagne which I blogged about. That has been my all-time favourite scent and candle, and only now is it just running out on me, I just can't seem to let it go!

However, on a recent trip to Primark, I fell in love with two new candles. A three wick round tin candle in Juicy Blueberry & Blossom, which has a very similar design packaging to Sweet Champagne from last year, and Lime & Sandalwood, which is in a glass jar. However, both candles come in jars, three wick tins, pillars and tea lights.

Now, lets talk about scent. The Juicy Blueberry & Blossom is a lot more sweet and fruity than it is floral. However, this isn't too overpowering when burning the candle, and I find that it creates a nice light aroma and is perfect for burning during the day. Lime & Sandalwood I prefer to burn during the evening as it has a more musky scent, yet still rather refreshing. It really reminds me of one of my boyfriends shower gels, when he's just gotten out the shower and smells all warm and fresh. That might sound crazy, but that's what it reminds me of!

The candles in the jar retail at £2.00 which is an utter bargain, especially when they have a burn time of 30 hours. Personally, it's this which I find so irresistible about Primark candles when on shopping trips, their price tag, good range of scents and the time they burn for. The tinned candles retail at £3.50 and burn for 20 hours. Now I'm not too sure why they're more expensive when they don't burn for long but they're still so incredibly cheap!

Also in the range for the Primark candles are Vanilla & Coconut Creme and Sweet Berries & Patchouli, which are both equally as nice, it's just that these two were my ultimate favourites! With Christmas just around the corner Primark are sure to be releasing a Christmas range and I cannot wait for it!

Nspa Beauty Products

Back in November I did a post on products which you can buy at a Spa near where I live, these products are made and branded specifically by this Spa. However, they are now stocking them in most Asda's. Back in November my post of goodies included a Hand Cream, Detox Scrub, Body Butter and a deep cleansing Face Wash. I adore these products and use them weekly. A while back I took a trip back to the Spa and couldn't resist buying more!

Whilst taking a trip to the Spa I went with my Mum, who very kindly, when it came to paying brought the products for me as a birthday treat! She also brought herself a few bits and pieces, but there were some duplicates so I thought I'd show you just what I brought.

You can buy the Jojoba and White Vanilla Luxury Scented Candle online or from Asda, if you do manage to get your hands on it at Asda's it's very inexpensive at £3.00 for such a gorgeous smelling candle, with hints of Mandarin, Pink Pepper, Jasmine, Sandalwood, Musk and Warm Amber. It's delicious and I didn't know a candle could have so many scents!

The Night Repair Cream is available to buy at Asda for £5.00 and they currently have an offer of 2 for £8.00 on their face creams and other products.

The Jojoba and White Vanilla Warming Salt Scrub costs £3.00, and this really is amazing, both me and my Mum have loved using it.

Finally, I love this gorgeous Jojoba and White Vanilla Foaming Bath Milk, it's perfect for relaxing evenings in the bath tub when you're unwinding from a stressful day. This retails at £3.00.

When I went to the Spa I was amazed at how cheap the products were, but looking at the price they are in Asda they are even cheaper by around £1.00 - £2.00 per product. So it you do happen to be in Asda's make sure you check out their products!

Lily Flame Candles At Casa Candles

Anything which is pretty and girly makes my knees go weak, one of those things has to be Lily-Flame candles. Their candles in a tin make my heart melt, and it is everything about them from their cute little tin, to their adorable names and finally to their gorgeous smell. However Lily-Flame candles do come at a slight price which I think is rather expensive for a candle in a tin. A small 7.7 x 6.6 cm tin retails at £8.50, and that really isn't very big. But when I see them I just cant help but purchase one. That's why I was ecstatic to stumble across Casa Candles.

Casa Candles is a small online website which specialises in anything with a lovely scent - candles, bath bombs, room spray and diffusers, and the best part... Their candles don't come at the same cost! They sell many candles such as Lily-Flame, Melt, Ashleigh & Burnwood and Yankee Candles. It would be rude not to make a purchase!

Fairy Dust smells heavenly and is that perfect girly smell. And Snow Fall is from their winter collection, it has the most amazing fresh fragrance. These candles comes with a price tag of £6.59 from the Casa Candles website compared to the £8.50 they usually retail at. That's almost £2 off, it would be rude not to!

Sweet Champagne

I have recently very much become obsessed with Candles, espeically as Christmas is nearing. I like to come home from college or work, light my favourite candles and jump in the bath. I recently picked up a little gem, and I love it and haven't stopped using it!!



I picked up this gorgeous little beauty in Primark for an amazing £3.50!! I couldn't believe it. Only £3.50 for such a gorgeous smelling 3 wick tin candle! Sadly it was the last one there so I wasn't able to pick up anymore as they would make great gifts for people for Christmas. It has an amazing sweet smell like it says on the tin, but it's not over powering. I left it burning for a good few hours in my room and it filled it with a lovely warm scent. If they have these candles in your Primark smell them as I know they have lots of other scents and for £3.50 you can't go wrong!!

 

Have you seen these candles yet or purchased one?!
