Candles are a bit of a hot topic this on the blog (get the pun!).
I have recently discover what has to be the best candle EVER!
Bold statement I know, but they really are incredible candles. The candles in which I'm referring to are Wood Wick Candles.
They are literally what they say on the jar, they have a wooden wick.
You may be thinking, well why is that so great. What the wooden wick actually does is to produce a crackling sound, to mimic the sound of a roaring fire. I imagine at Christmas these are just perfect! However even now I find the sound so relaxing.
The wick on these large candles is also brilliant because it is quite a long wick, length ways. So this makes the candle burn very evenly, leaving you with minimal candle waste at the end. This is a must, as these candles aren't cheap!
Another plus point is how much scent it kicks off. My answer to this would be a lot but not too much. I find Yankee Candles to be a little too much. These Wood Wick ones however give off the perfect amount to full the room without choking you with the scent.
So to summarise, I have already repurchased some of these candles & will continue to do so in the future.
They also make a perfect gift! So Christmas spoiler alert for anyone I know, haha!
These are available from Boots & a few online retailers.
It's been quite so time since I did a favourites on both my blog & youtube channel.
However May has been a great month, so why not!
I have a variety of different items from home to fitness clothing.
Benefit Dream Screen
I'm sure I've favourited this item before, however I do love it! It is the first facial sun cream I have ever found that isn't super oily, in fact it's oil free. This makes it perfect for everyday and perfect for underneath make up.
Soap & Glory Heel Genius
I'm not really one for feet, but we all like to have nice soft ones. This foot cream is super moisturising & has a really refreshing peppermint scent. It's seriously saved my feet this month!
NYX Intense Butter Gloss & Matte Lip Cream
These are my first NYX lip products & I have to say.. where have they been all my life?!?
I love the formula & scent of these. My overall favourite is the matte lip cream as I have been loving a matte lip recently. However I think they're both going to be in my make up bag permanently.
Oral B 3D White Brilliance Toothpaste
I've been wanting a whitening toothpaste that actually works for years & I think I've finally found it! You can actually see all the crap & discolouration in the sink when you use this toothpaste, which is reassuring. I have also noticed a visible difference in colour. It's nothing too dramatic but I can see that it's actually working.
Wood Wick Candle
You guys know me, I love a good candle. Recently I discovered wood wick candles, which are quite a simple yet amazing concept. Every candle has a wooden wick, which means it crackles whilst it burns. It is honestly the most relaxing sound ever! The candles also burn really evenly & are highly scented. The perfect candle really!
Gymversus Leggings
It's so hard to find good quality gym leggings, that don't go see-through, especially when you spend a lot of time squatting! However I have finally found some that are worth some hype. These leggings are by a company called Gymversus & they are just amazing quality, as well as really nice designs.
If you're serious about the gym I would definitely recommend them!
So here five are of my favourite budget friendly drugstore beauty products on the market.
Barry M Gelly Hi-Shine Nail Paint
These are possibly my favourite nail polish formula around. They're super cheap at £3.99 & are the perfect way to fake the gel nail look. They also have a huge range of colours from brights to dark & vampy! The formula is pretty good, mine generally don't clip for 3/4 days & start to go a little dull after about 5 days. I would recommend these polishes to any & everyone!
Nude lips are still on trend right now & let's face it they always will be really. These ones from Rimmel are completely matte & have pretty good pay off. For a £7 (approximately) lipstick you really can't complain. I have a few shades from this collection however 45 is my favourite.
I really wanted to throw something hair related in this mix, as some hair products can be a bit pricey. Hair oils especially can be quite expensive, however they do generally last a long time! This hair oil firstly, smells incredible. It's worth buying for the scent alone. It is also super moisturising & nourishing for your hair. It is also a non-greasy oil, which is a feature I love!
This one is an oldie but a goodie! I recently rediscovered this palette & now I'm addicted to it all over again. It is designed to be a dupe for Urban Decay's Naked 1 palette, however I don't own the Naked 1 so I can't really compare. However the quality of these eyeshadows is amazing compared to similar priced brands I've tried. This palette is only £4!! What a steal!
Make Up Revolution Contour Palette in Ultra Fair
This is definitely one of the better MUR products I've tried! The colour pay-off the bronzer & highlighter is amazing. I also really like the tone of the all matte bronzer, as it's quite cool toned. The only thing that I'm not a big fan of the blush, due to it's lack of pigment. Overall though for the price (approximately £4) it's definitely a great contouring starter kit.
