Scented Candle Addict

As you may have already realised, I am kind of a candle addict. I try not to stock up too much on them because I actually want to see them and smell them burn. And if I had too many different ones at the same time, there would always be some of them left unlit.
I've always bought scented candles from IKEA, which are great, but I've burnt down all of the ones I had when I still lived in Vienna. I also had one from Primark, in a rectangular piece of glass, and it's Vanilla smell was just amazing!
Last Christmas I even got three small Yankee Candles from the Christmas Range, but I didn't have enough space in my luggage to take them all with me when I was moving out. And one of the nicest candles I've had was one from WoodWick, which was also a Christmas gift last year.
It had a crackling noise and such a beautifully shaped jar, which could be actually reused as a small bouquet vase. I nearly burnt it down fully before leaving, so I gave it to my mum and she placed it in her bedroom.
WoodWicks are really expensive, and I'd totally love to have one again, so maybe I could lay my hands on one from Amazon. That would be great!
But, to keep our room cosy and let it smell nicely, I bought some Yankee Candle tea lights already back in April, their scent is called "Clean Cotton", which Eryk chose as he prefers fresh smells rather than very intense ones.
I bought two tea light holders on Monday from the Yankee Candle store, so now we can safely let them burn.
Also, I bought three candles from Airwick, with the same scent, "Wild Fig", and I have to say that it is really amazing. I am in love with it and one of the candles is nearly all gone by now. But at least I have two more of them!
Some time ago I also went to Matalan, where you can get lots of different candles in beautiful, different sized tins, and I bought a small one in a purple tin, because I liked this smell most, which is called "Frosted Cranberry", and I also thought of adding purple details to our room, so I wanted to keep decorating stuff in one colour range, rather than having all different colours mixed up in our room.





So these are all the candles we have at the moment, and as I said, I'd like to get a new WoodWick one and a nice Yankee Candle in a pretty reusable jar.

Do you like scented candles? If yes, where do you get them and what do you think about them?

Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water | Review

Image
Today I finally decided to write a short review about the Garnier Micellar water, that many girls consider as a dupe of the Bioderma cleanser. I've been using this product for about a month or so now and I think it is about time to let you know what I, personally think about it. What information is given about the product: *good for sensitive skin * hypoallergenic * no perfume * removes make-up, cleanses, soothes * 200 uses 1) As you can see, I've used nearly half of the bottle and it says that it lasts for 200 uses. I've probably not even used it 40 times yet and it doesn't really look as if I could use it for 160 more uses. Of course, I know that this number is just an average number, but still, I think that it could be used for about 100 times, more than 200 to be honest. If I use it, then I use two small cotton pads, so I also don't use too much of the cleanser itself. It is strong, because one cotton pad takes off the make up of half of my face,

Christmas Wishlist In October?!

Image
When I was a child I used to write my wishlists for Christmas already in October. I have no idea why, but I thought it was a good thing to write down all my dream gifts as early as possible, as by Christmas I'd already forget all of them and I would remember them again when it was already too late. So, I still like to write down what I'd like to buy myself, what I'd like to put money aside for, or what I'd like to get for Christmas or my Birthday. I totally hate it when people ask me what I'd like to get and I just can't think of anything, even though there are always some small things I dream of.. Well, today I thought I could share five ideas for Christmas, that would make me extremely happy if I got them (or bought myself). 1) I would like to have a new bag for College. I have one at the moment, the GABS one, but it is too colourful to wear it with every outfit, which totally annoys me. But this is my only big bag, and I need a big one because I nee

Ziaja Body Lotion Review

Image
Hi again! A few weeks ago I already posted a photo on my Instagram ( which is here ), where I showed the 4 Ziaja body lotions I got to try and when I saw their generous packaging my first thought was: When will I use these all? But I was very happy about that because I got to find out which one is my favourite and which one I like using more on certain days etc. Thanks to the big choice I can also stay away from buying even more body lotions, which is great! ( I'm so into body lotions, it's crazy) The 3 bottles are 400ml each and they are from the Cocoa butter , Goat's milk and Natural Olive range.  The Coconut lotion comes in a 200ml packaging, so it's good for taking it on holidays or on a sleepover etc.  To give you an idea of these products I will quickly talk you through them. Let's start with the Olive range: It moisturises your skin thoroughly and leaves it silky soft and smooth. What is also great about it, is that it can even be use
