Snow Fall Scented Candle Review

Earlier on this evening i desided to burn a candle, and this one has a christmassy theme to it so i thought why not. On there website this is how they describe this candle "Snow Fall, Drifting Down Without a Sound.

This scent is super soft and rounded. Capturing the special quietness that comes with the first snow of the year" I can't remember when i got this candle but im pretty sure my nan gave it to my mum or something..

Isnt the tin really cute and on the other side it says a little desciption and "Enjoy your candle" These candle are handmade, and i love that about products more effort has gone in to them :)

Once you take off the lid its so sweet inside a white candle with four lumps of ica cube looking bits, it looks really sweet and christmassy, and when you smell the candle is a gorgeous fresh smell so i wanted to see if its a stong smell or if you can't smell it once lit..

It really gave off the lovely scent, made the room smell great without being to over powering, most candle either smell way to strong once burning or not at all so i was really happy with this candle! The burning time is a minimum or 35 hours :)

This is the candle after about 3 hours of burning the white wax has changed colour to a lovely blue!

Overall this candle is well worth buying and i have looked up the price they are £7.95 i will definatly be buying this product again! (Maybe different flavours and smells) This is the website http://www.lily-flame.co.uk/index.php If anyone wants to check them out. I would recommend buying these candles as a present or a treat for yourself :) I hope you liked this review! x

Wrapping

Im still not sorted for christmas and there is only 3 days left! Ive done some wrapping tonight whilst watching Family Guy. I swear they are always repeats but i still end up puttign them on in the background whilst im doing something, I burnt a gorgeous candle tonight called Snow Falls. ill do the review on that later on as right now im knackered so i just wanted to do a quick post (I will most likely stay up for ages yet though) Ive got a few things recorded that i haven't caught up with yet like Eastenders and things :)

These are a few of the things ive wrapped already, makes you feel kind of christmassy when you're wrapping up presents. (The picture is really poor quality as i used my phone and its really dark!)

Thats another thing at the moment how dark it gets, by 5pm its pitch black.

Are you organised and ready for christmas?

(I hope you are more than me, im just hoping some parcels turn up!) x

MAC Lipstick & Lip Liner!

Once again its freezing! Anyway i have a couple of swatches to show you (I brought these two products when i was ment to be christmas shopping!) I didn't know what MAC products to pick so i got talking to one of the really nice women in there and she tryied a couple of different colour on me, as soon as i saw Captive i fell inlove with the colour, its a gorgeous Plum colour great for the winner! Underneath we tryied out the Subculture lipliner and that on its own is a lovely natural colour.

Lipstick Colour: Captive

Lip Liner Colour: Subculture

I don't normally wear liners but i really love this i use it all the time now, i did wear it today on its own, its a really soft but lovely colour :)

Swatches on the left Subculture on the right Captive.

What are your favorite MAC products? Would you recommend any colours? :)

MUA Lipsticks

Last week when i popped into Superdrug i saw a whole the MUA makeup range, every product for £1! There wasn't that much left. i was going to get some other products from there range like the eyeshadows and things but i wanted to give a few products a try first. So i picked up 3 lipsticks and amazingly when i got to the till, i didn't realize that every makeup item in Superdrug is on 3 for 2! So it only came to £2, Heres what i got...

I picked numbers 11, 5 and 8

Brown,Soft Pink,Red

These are the Swatches, i haven't tryied all of these on but i have used number 5, its such a nice soft pink and it stayed on really well actuatlly, very pleased with these products once ive tryied the other two ill let you know what i thought of those. The red one number 8 im planning to wear on christmas day but i might try it out before hand just incase it doesn't suit me :) x

Cheap And Cheerful

Still can't believe how much snow we have, it was snowing again today. I kind of hope it stops now ive had enough of it. It's way to cold and hard to get anywhere. Ive heard some people have had really bad problems heading somewhere that takes half an hour and it taking seven. That must be awful, But i hope everyones okay :)

I have a few products to share with you guys, well my two favorite winter under £2 buys!

Firstly we have Natural Collection strawberry body spray, This is £1.99 from boots and it an amazing thing to have in the winter as perfume doesn't tend to last that long and some body sprays run out so quickly and smell quite cheap, where as this body spray is a really good, it lasts ages! For example one bottle last me 3-4 months sometimes even more, it does last forever and such a lovely scent! I really recommend this product!

Secondly i only brought this because it looked so cute! Its from Peacocks and its £2, Anyway this lipbalm is fabulous it really helps chapped lips and smells like chocolate, also once you put this lip balm on it looks and feels like Lip gloss. Ive tried this on top of lipstick aswell and it also works such a nice thing to keep n your bag in the winter :)

I have a couple of MAC products ive brought recently that ill do a review on tomorrow, Also some other makeup and bits and bobs, Hope everyones looking forward to christmas, Im looking forward to seeing all the family and things. I just can't pick what to wear, im thinking a peter pan collar tunic but im not sure yet. Any ideas? x

Nails: Bumble Bee

I woke up today, looked out the window and saw so much snow! We hardly ever get snow so i was pretty shocked! My dogs went mad for it, ill do a post on them in the snow later :) Last night i painted my nails and really didn't know what pattern to do, somehow i came up with a bumble bee, i think it was when i was looking at nail art pictures but anyway this is how it turned out...

I even looked at the X-factor tour tickets, but they are pretty rubbish seats now so not much point. I wish he painted my house before x-factor! haha :) x

Christmas has come round so quick!

Wow don't you think christmas has come round so quick this year, 2 weeks and 3 days to go! and im so not sorted, so much to do. Thankfully its nearlly Saturday and im going Christmas shopping. :)
I love christmas shopping when it gets dark, all the lights on and everyone wrapped up warm it has a real christmas feeling. Also ive now seen the Coke advert so i can tell christmas is on its way! Haha.

Saturday

Really looking forward to this weekend im heading to Milton Keynes to do some christmas shopping and spend the day with my auntie! :) So excited, i don't see her that much and its great when its just me and her because we can talk about everything. Its been ages since we last went on a shopping trip so cant wait! Got a couple of things in mind of what i want to buy because ive got most presents now i just need my brothers and id like to get a snood or new scarf as the weather is so damn cold at the moment! Also i looked on Republic website last weekend and saw a gorgeous Frog ring, so im hoping thats in stock the only other thing im planning on getting is nail varnish, Barry M are on 3 for 2 at the moment so thinking of stocking up :)

Also hoping to see my Beautiful cousin Libby and my uncle Ian, Its been way to long since ive seen all of them, I miss them a lot! If im ever having a rough day i just stand back and think atleast i have the most amazing family, some people dont even have that so it just shows no matter how bad you feel or how bad a problem is in your life there is always someone that has it much worse! So chin up everyone :) x

Bear Beanie

Its cold outside, ive been wearing so many layers when i walk the dogs and things and i need a hat so i went on ASOS and order this Bear Beanie :) It's adorable i now wear it all the time, its so warm and cosy i love it!
