This months box is again another cute packaging, it's very pastel in colours and just reminds me of mermaids and the beach. The scents overall where very soft, and refreshing to smell and when the monthly box arrived it smelt beautiful before I even opened it. So what was in this months box?

- Lemon & Lime Mojito

- Gooseberry & Elderflower

- Plum Blossom

- Raspberry & Salted Caramel

- Pink Prosecco

- Blackcurrant Jam

- Green Apples

- Candy Shop

As you can tell this months box is full of food-like scents (which I love), but the first melt that caught my eye was the Pink Prosecco. The scent is so refreshing and sweet plus the name is cute! The Candy Shop melt is another sweet, sugary and mouth watering melt that has a perfect name (I wish all melts where this haha).

Overall, this months box is another favorite purely down to how sweet, sugary, and food like the melts are. Plus the packaging is a big win, it's very relate-able to summer and I just love it!

Pool Party!!!! That's this months theme, perfect for summer and the packaging on the melts are super cute. We have unicorns, doughnuts, watermelon etc! I genuinely love the packaging and how each melt has their own little emoji/icon. So what's in this months box?

- Beach Ball

- Watermelon

- Thai Lime & Mango

- Sweet Lime & Cedar

- Pomegranate Cider

- Pineapple & Raspberry

- Mango & Dragonfruit

- Lemon Curd

Now they all smell AMAZING, and before I even opened the box I fell in love. But for me, the most favorite is the Thai Lime & Mango it's fresh smelling AND has a super cute unicorn picture on the packaging. The pineapple & raspberry is another sweet but refreshing scent that I love, and of course watermelon which has a mouth watering smell to it.

As usual with the melt crowd, this subscription is just £10 including postage! Plus you get a 20% off discount code to use for the entire month, and some super cute smelling products.

So a while back River Island had a sale on.. And of course I took the chance to grab a few bits, if I'm honest with you guys I was slightly disappointed I spent the whole of about 15 minutes on the website going through the sale and adding various items to my basket. But when I was finished and clicked to see the basket, to checkout it popped up explaining half of my basket had became out of stock! (Shame) So in the end, I only ended up buying two items... (Even though I originally had about six)

The first, which is the product I'm most excited about is this beautiful bag... I picked it purely down to design, the large style appealed to me purely down to being able to use it for university. Carrying books, laptop etc would be perfect to fit inside this bag (plus I don't always like taking too expensive bags into university!). The bag itself has a large compartment inside which is opened and shut by a small metal clasp button... Perfect to put less expensive products in because it can easily be seen as it's not full shut off, I would personally put things like a hair brush, books etc inside that bit.. Within that compratment it as a small zip area like most other bags. But then the part which I love about this bag is on the back theres a full size compartment which is fully zipped across the top which is very secure and perfect to fit my laptop in! The bag also has the option to be used with a satchel strap (which I personally doubt I will use).

I then purchased these beautiful shoes, (website exclusive) I loved the white colour with the croc design it was great for the end of summer and into fall season... And I must admit these are one of the most comfortable shoes I have worn yet, I was worried about the part which shuts by pushing the metal though the material and clasping shut because I have such small, skinny ankles. Normally with shoes (or belts use the same) I have to end up putting an extra hole to make sure it shuts tight around my ankle but these are perfect! No issues!

I know this is probably the smallest mini haul purchase I've wrote about on the blog, but I just had to mention about the bag because of how perfect it is for school/college/university I highly suggest for people to check out River Island because the bags they offer are just perfect. X

River Island | Mini Purchase

So a while back River Island had a sale on.. And of course I took the chance to grab a few bits, if I'm honest with you guys I was sligh...

So this month had a major shock, my post man arrived as I was eagerly waiting for him to drop off this months box and to my surprise he had a huge.. And I mean HUGE box with the melt crowd sticker on top! I couldn't open it fast enough, I had no idea why I had such a big box but then I discovered I had received a glass jar as well as my melts.

In-case anyone is new, or never knew about this last month Flamingo Candles celebrated there 1 year melt crowd anniversary... To everyone who had been subscribed for an entire year they received a free Birthday Cake jar, along with everyone who was in the melt crowd that month received a free birthday cake wax melt! It smelt divine, but honestly I thought it was a one off thing for that month only (I was gutted I missed out by a month too)... But surprisingly I received one this month as I'm now a 1 year subscriber!

As for this months subscription box, WOW! It's packed full of summer fun, with cocktail scented melts, pastel wrapping colours and some fun funky names this box honestly gets me in the mood to have fun, party and go lounge around in the garden.

Birthday Cake Jar
WOW! I am in love with this jar, first off the flamingo on the front is in a unique purple/pink glass gem style! When I unscrewed the lid the entire top was covered in a gold glitter which had been sprinkled all around (makes it look A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!). The scent itself is very 'Vanilla' like, a sweet, sugary and almost reminding me of vanilla sponge or milk bottle sweets! This jar is the definition of perfect, it looks amazing on my desk and honestly is too pretty to use.

WILD Strawberry Millions - RRP £2
This melt is packed full of a strong instantly smelling scent of fresh strawberries, but the more sweet type that reminds me of strawberries and cream. But I must admit it has a twist, I can't tell if the sugary sweet cream scent is more of a vanilla hint or more of a fresh yogurt like cream. Either way it's delicious and I'm super excited to burn.

Pina Colada - RRP £2
First off, I'm in love with the packaging for this melt its wrapped in a gold style paper which makes me feel like this is the 'Golden' melt, the most special and honestly.. It's scent makes it probably my favorite out of all this months box. It's a very light smell of exactly like a Pina Colada Cocktail being sweet and mouth watering it's the up most refreshing to burn. It's also got a scent twist of fresh pineapple and oranges mixed together, it's such a refreshing melt.

Beach Please - The Melt Crowd Exclusive
The packaging for this melt is again just perfect, a blue paper makes it feel like the sea side, its a very fresh scent that has somewhat of a floral twist with an outdoor feel.

Cheesecake Crunch - RRP £2
Now I'm pretty sure I've had this before, whether I ordered it off the site separately, in another subscription box or possibly when I went to the Clothes Show Live last year. But I love this scent, anything 'food' oriented gets my vote any day! This scent isn't overpowering, very light and sweet plus it has a cute pastel paper wrapping. The scent itself is very sweet, with a slight hint of cinnamon mixed in with a buttery biscuit smell.

Chili & Coriander - Melt Crowd Exclusive
With this melt I am unsure if I love or hate it still... It's scent is very strong and powerful reminding me of various spices all in one pot (and honestly does a chili hint). But also has a hint of wood among all the spices, personally I feel like this is more suited for a 'man' to burn and more of a 'man melt'.

Peach - Melt Crowd Exclusive
I love this melt! And can't believe it's an exclusive if I'm honest, it's a very light scent but a fresh fruity 'peach' smell. It's again in a cute pastel wrapping which I'm in love with for this summer!

Gin & Tonic - Celebrate World Gin Day 11th Of June
WOW! Again another melt which has become a love of mine, this scent it fresh, clean, powerful and exactly how a gin & tonic smells with the sweet lime mixed in. Among the fresh scented lime it also somewhat reminds me of cucumber and the fresh veg and fruit smell you get when you walk down the grocery store.

Lemon Curd - RRP £2
Something makes me feel like we might of had this melt previously (I might be wrong), but I'm in love!! It's a very fresh, clean and summer flavoring smell of a sugary lemon that almost reminds me of homemade lemonade.

Overall, I'm in love with every single melt in this months box (apart from the chili one, I honestly can't make my mind up on this till I get round to burning it!). The melts are all perfect for summer from the cocktail scents, to the pastel paper colours. Let me know on Twitter/Instagram or in the comments below if your already a member, whats your favorite?

Hey guys! So this Eau De Toilette spray was purchased online from The Body Shop, I was so excited to try this because Raspberry is a very fruity, clean and fresh scent which would be perfect for summer and hot nights. When it arrived it looked super cute in a 30ml bottle, the smell was just as expected which I loved. The only thing which disappointing me was the scent didn't last very long, I would say for around an hour. But for the price, it is perfect for just after a hot bath, or if your just hanging around in the garden during summer nights.

Be sure to comment below your thoughts & don't forget to follow my blog over on the home page! X

This candle was bought in a spring collection as part of the mothers day gift set, this candle is "rare" and not sold in many places. It smells fresh like a summer day, the smell is strong when you smell up close and is a favorite smell (I like it)! :-)
