I recently received a few gifts over my birthday which where of course Yankee Candle jars! A duo which has recently been added to QVC and is currently £33.50 for two large jars. (Which is an amazing bargain considering large jars retail at £21.99 each!)

The new candle which I have never smelt until now is the Vanilla Lime, its a green colour wax. The scent is fresh yet sugary I must admit I am in love, you can smell the sugary Vanilla but it twists with a fresh clean creamy lime scent. As for the Vanilla Cupcake we all know this is my favorite favorite candle scent from any company and have already reviewed it over on my blog here.Click here to view the product on QVC where I bought off! (P.S Sorry I forgot to take pictures of these products until I realized I already used half the Vanilla Lime!)X

Thank you for reading, let me know in the comments what you're favorite Yankee Candle is!X

Yankee Candle Duo | QVC

So recently Holland & Barrett had a huge offer on in there store which was buy one item & get another for 1p! Within that they was selling the 28 day BOOTEA teatox which includes 28 daytime teabags & 28 night-time teabags for somewhere around £34 (I think) then with the offer you get the exact same amount for 1p!!!

Now teatox's have been highly rated this summer as a healthy natural way to loose weight without having to adjust you're diet or do extreme exercising. Over the summer period I decided to purchase a 14 day box of BOOTEA's teatox set to see if they was any good. Now, first off I want to state I am not a "tea" drinker and when they arrived I couldn't handle the taste so resulted in giving the product to my mum to trail for me! She also agreed (who is a huge tea drinker) and found the daytime teabags where fine, but the night-time ones where just awful! My mum resulted in adding several drops of honey into the night-time drinks just to help with the taste! Although, after using the 14 day set she found she did loose a little weight so it must seem to work right?

Well, the teatox seems to work as a major body cleanser so I can understand how you could loose a little weight. But personally I think once you've been using BOOTEA for a few months I can't see it helping you to loose anymore. So this huge kit I have received will be the real test! One thing I do want to add as a note for users is to 100% check the ingredients and issues with teatox's I personally didn't know that these products affect contraceptive pill and stops it from working! (Which is no problem for me, but I know and herd of others who have had issues regarding not knowing this knowledge!)

As you may or may not know, I am obsessed with candles and whenever they get near the bottom I use the leftover wax in my tealight burner and burn off the rest! (No waste!), I recently followed Flamingo Candles over on Twitter and couldn't help but notice how pretty there candles looked! I had to try them for myself, of course I didn't know whether to pay full price for a big jar or try out the scented melts! So I ended up trying the scented melts which are £2 each....

The first one I was super excited to try out was the Rose & Marshmallow, it sounded sooooooo perfect! When it arrived I was slightly shocked, the scent wasn't super strong but did smell sweet! I began by unwrapping the scent and lighting a tea-light and placing in my bunsen burner, then placing the scent on top. It was like a solid white substance, it smelt so good and more stronger once it was out the packaging.

After a few minutes of burning the substance instantly become a clear liquid smelling away so strong! It filled my room full of a sweet candy sugar scent it was perfect for my sweet tooth!

Then the Strawberries 'n' Champagne was SO SO SOOOOO strong oh my! The scent was perfect, so fruity and sweet and just all round perfect, I cannot explain how in love I was with this! I decided to break this one in half and only burn half, the scent was SUPER strong it literally filled my entire room and you could smell it from all the way down the hall way! Using only half allowed me to get more out of the scent!

Overall I must say, the Strawberries one is by far my favorite, I will 100% rebuy these again I couldn't help but notice Flamingo Candles offer a subscription for the melts which I am considering on starting!

Both of these eye-shadows where purchased off Boots sometime last year(I think), I love these as they look so perfect, every time I use the product the crown symbol in the shadow always stays perfect!

"122 Live Show" - Green

This eye-shadow has a pigment of glitter giving off a shimmer effect, its more of a turquoise green/blue colour. I prefer to wear this shadow with a thick eyeliner line and usually for occasional makeup such as days out or clubbing, simply because i'm picky if the makeup would go with my outfit! :-) (Which generally are monochrome!)

"102 Backstage" - Brown

This shadow is a brown colour which again has a pigment of glitter shimmer, but is very light almost like a bronze colour. This is by far my one of my favorites as it goes with any outfit and isn't too dramatic but once applied it is light and effective.

Thank you so much for reading, don't forget to comment details, feedback & your thoughts! :-) Xo

Laura Geller Eye-shadow - " Cream / Cappuccino "

This eye-shadow is by far one of my favorites, simply because it is a duo which colors work perfect together. The two colors could be used individually, used to blend and get a smoky look or be used by using your shadow brush and swipe across both colors and get a mixture color.

On the left side of the duo (faced upwards) is a shimmer nude color, this is my favorite out of the two as I can wear this color on it's own or used to blend and mix to get a smoky look. The color is pigmented with a glitter silver shimmer tint, it is perfect for all seasons and looks natural looking.

On the right hand side of the duo is the "Cappuccino" color, a brown shimmer which is another favorite. It's a favorite simply because it is not like normal brown eye-shadows this is a light brown and isn't dramatic once applied.
