StarLyte Candles

The other week I don't know how but I came across 'theworks' website, Originally drawn in by all the Disney Frozen bargains for the girls Christmas eve boxes, Down the side popped up a glass jarred candle very similar to yankee candle for just £3.99? I have way to many candles but of course that beauty went straight in my basket and off I went on the hunt for more scents, I was more than happy to pay the £3.99 but whats that it's in the 3 for £1O gift offer?
I'll take every scent you have!
So in the basket went 3 16oz candles Mulled wine,Winter Cotton and Vanilla creme.


I grabbed the mulled wine for my mum as its one of her favourite scents and I can't seem to find one by Yankee maybe it has such a posh name little common as muck me hasn't cottoned on to it being mulled wine. I've had a sniff of this and now I'm dying to put in another order for one myself. 


I'm really not keen on the smell of this one it smells like I've opened up a pack of biscuits and it really bits my nose (best way I can explain it) It has quite a harsh smell to it, I have Vanilla frosting by Yankee which I wasn't keen on either and this smells identical so perfect for anyone that love the baking kind of scents.


Winter cotton is by far my fave scent out of the three so much so I see myself grabbing another with my next order along with the cinnamon which I spotted having a peek at the website the other day.
As soon as you open the jar your instantly hit with that fresh washing smell and it smells divine.
The label seems pretty christmas themed so it may be one that comes out at christmas time if I can bare to tuck it away until next year.

Have you tried Starlytes candles?

Bring on December - Yankee candle advent calendar






I was lucky enough to snap this beauty up from a lady on a facebook local selling site for £15! 
Yep you read that right, so of course with a price like that I was having it.
I'm not much of a chocolate eater anymore so this was the perfect advent calendar for me, This divine smelling little beauty has 25 tea lights with a mixture of their festive Christmas scents inside.
I'm so excited to open the little doors and see what scent I'll be burning that day

Inside
Snowflake cookie
Icicles
Angel wings
Cranberry ice
Christmas cookie
Christmas garland

Although cellophane wrapped the heavenly scents hit you as you enter the room straight away.

Poundland Treasures







Poundland is my favourite place to stop off at before heading home after the school run.
It's full of so many hidden treasures!!
I buy alot of brand name cleaning products from there but no one want's to see that do they!
So here's a small amount of the treasures I've bought recently.

I have 2 of the tangle attack brushes but as they are they the girls the pink has already gone to the land of no return. I will be doing a closer review of these brushes.
The chuppa chup candles were my fave scents out of the many scents they had in stock, they also had love hearts ones too.
You can never have enough hair donuts either eh?
After a friend made a donut bun using just my hair (no way in hell could I do it myself)
she said the medium size they had for sale would be perfect for my hair length, I'd never have thought my hair was long enough for a donut so big.
The shampoo and detangler smells so nice I just had to grab it, the girls don't even need any of either but for £1 they sure as hell were coming home with me!
