Party Lite Candles

One of my ultimate weaknesses is candles.
 I'm all about smells and having a nice smelling home is an obsession of mine. I love getting home and lighting a candle especially in this horrible weather at the moment, it just makes everywhere feel that little bit more homely doesn't it?
 So when Partylite asked if I'd like to try out some of their candles from their huge collection I jumped at the chance.
Fleurs & Baies : Berry Blossom Jar Candle*
*
I'm not one to stick with one brand when it comes to candles - I have lots of different brands, scents and styles in my hoard at home and am always up for trying newbies!

Partylite is an awesome company in which you can actually become a host or consultant and run your own candle partys (sounds fun right?!)!

I was sent a lovely jar candle and a trio pack and have completely fallen in love with them!
Before I had even opened my post I knew what was going to be inside - due to the beautifully strong smell coming from it! I have been so impressed with the quality of these, alot of candles I've paid out for have a lovely scent but they just don't seem to last or don't even smell strong without being lit.
These have the most beautiful scents which really last and fill my whole home with their sweet smell.

The Berry Blossom candle has become a particular favourite of mine. The smell is very sweet and reminds me alot of a few sweet pea scented products I own. This is perfect for my bedroom and I've spotted that they do a larger version which I definitely feel like I need in my life.
The size I have is the escential jar and is priced at £11.50, with a burning time of 40-60 hours! I've already burnt mine for nearly a whole day and I'm not even a 1/4 of the way down!
Forbidden Fruits Trio : L2R - Fig Fatale, Blackberry Boudoir & Pomegrante Passion*

Next I'm going to talk about the mini candle jar trio in Forbidden Fruits. This is a fab way to try out three of the new scents in one easy package!
I love that these jars has a decorative design on them, especially as they though with the decor in my flat!
All 3 of these scents are rich, strong smells which last and last!
 Beautiful for the kitchen and bathroom where you may have unwanted smells haha! They are super warm and relaxing and I'll be completely honest - I cannot choose a favourite!
These have a burn time of 20-30 hours and the trio is priced at £24.95!

You can find all of these and everything else over on the Partylite website - here! Have a search and see if you have a host near you!
I can't stop eyeing up the 'Just Desserts' collection - they sound SO yummy!

Summer Soap & Glory Favourites

As a brand, Soap & Glory are up there with my beauty favourites. I have been using their products ever since I  borrowed Sexy Mother Pucker lipgloss from my Mum as a teenager!
 The amount of different things I've tried from them is endless, skincare, bodycare, shower, make-up and alot of their stuff is in my day-to-day routine!

With it being "summer" (I say this at the end of July looking out the window to clouds and rainfall) there has been a few products which I have been using more than usual and I thought I'd share with you my current favourites!
Heel Genius Foot Cream
Yes, it is sandal season and although I don't feel like I've taken advantage of the sunshine and fashion trends enough this year so far I have been making sure my feet are in tip top condition. 
I've tried various foot cream, lotions and potions and this is one of the best! After using my 360 foot file (review here) I like to slap a thick layer of this on and pop some socks on to help it soak into my feet.
With a lovely fresh and minty scent this is the perfect finishing touch for your tootsies!

Sugar Crush Fragrance Mist
This has been in my handbag for weeks and weeks now! I don't know how you couldn't be a fan of the sugar crush scent! This gorgeous lime and vanilla fragrance is the perfect summer spritz to keep you smelling sweet and sunny - even my Mum has fallen in love with it! I already feel like I should invest in a back-up.

Smoothie Star Breakfast Scrub
If I had to pick just ONE product from Soap & Glory to have forever it would probably be this scrub.
 I could not tell you how many of these I have been through over the years, I even packed a pot when I went travelling round the USA.... and I mean - it's not the smallest thing to pack! 
I LOVE the scent so much, it tastes goo enough to eat and it makes showering a happy happy time! Especially when winding down in the evenings after a hot day.

Sugar Crush Body Scrub
You probably saw this featured in my "I'm loving..." post yesterday! Sugar Crush is the best summertime scnet as I said before with the fragrance mist and this is perfect for sleepy mornings to give me a zesty wake up call! A little grainier than the breakfast scrub this is great to prep for tanning and keeping my skin soft and smooth.
