More Candles! (Bath and Body Works)

Today, I have more candles to show you all. These are the two candles that my mom purchased (mentioned here). These are 14.5 oz. three wick candles.

Creamy Pumpkin is of course a bakery scent. It is sweet and warm. Smells a bit like pumpkin pie but not "genuine".

Marshmallow Fireside smells just like marshmallows. If you have the Zombie Squad PocketBac, which is marshmallow scented, it smells exactly like that (minus the alcohol scent that hand sanitizers have).

Do you have any Bath and Body Works candles that you think I should try out? I have really been loving these and I would love your recommendations!


*To answer your questions from the last post:

Amelia (In The Pink of Things): We bought a Nikon d3100 with a 55-200mm lens. Not a great lens for taking manicure pics but I am working on getting a lens more suitable for that!

Bath and Body Works Mini Candles

Left to Right: Hot Chocolate, Woodland Berry, Caramel Apple

If you follow me on Twitter (and if you don't, you should!), I tweeted earlier that I PROMISED I would have a new blog post up today. Am I a liar? I THINK NOT! =]

I am a little excited about this post because, 1) I have new things to show you and 2) The picture above is the first photo (and it is edited!) that I am posting on my blog that was taken on my new camera that boyfriend and I purchased!

I went to Bath and Body Works with my mom yesterday and knowing that the Halloween stuff is around, I just had to go in. I purchased some mini candles that are pictured above and a couple of PocketBacs, that I will show in an upcoming post. My mom purchased two full sized candles that I will also be reviewing in an upcoming post.

The 1.6 oz. mini candles were 3 for $5, which I honestly don't think is that bad. I mean, you get to try out a variety of scents before you go ahead and purchase the full size, which can put a whole in your wallet, if you know what I mean.

Anyway, on to the scents because this post is getting kind of long!

Hot Chocolate is truly an authentic hot chocolate scent. I don't even like chocolate scents but I really do love this one.

Woodland Berry is a clean scent that isn't very unique but it reminds me of another Bath and Body Works scent that I can't really remember at the moment. Sorry, I suck at this one!

 Caramel Apple is a sweet and salty scent. To me, it is the kind of scent that I can only smell for a little while otherwise it gets kind of nauseating LOL if that makes any sense at all.

I hope you guys are doing well and once again thank you for reading! For those of you experts on photo taking and editing, let me know how this looks please. I would REALLY REALLY REALLY appreciate your feedback.

Bath and Body Works (BBW) Haul and UPDATE

Just a quick update for you guys before I show my BBW haul. I know I haven't posted in a few days, but that usually is the case during the weekends!

Sunday, I completely broke off my pinky nail tip on my left hand! Not only did it break completely off, it broke off a little further down to where I hit blood. IT BURNS SO BAD! Anytime anything touches, I feel like someone is holding a lighter to it. Unfortunately I had to cut down all of my nails.

So what does this mean? Well, I won't be taking any manicure pictures for a while. What I will do is show you all swatch wheels and throw in a few manicures that were done prior to having my blog but never got around to showing you all! For those of you who have seen them (my friends on my personal FB page), well just take this as a little look back!

Now, on to the haul!

I went to Bath and Body Works last Thursday to pick up my free gift for being a LUV BBW CLUB member. If you were one of the lucky people that caught the form to sign up (I found out the last day and quickly signed up online!!) then you should have received a punch card in the mail! I received mine about 2 and a half weeks ago. One Thursday out of every month (from January to May) you present your LUV BBW CLUB membership card and you will receive a free gift, no purchase necessary.

The free gift this month was your choice of a PocketBac, PocketBac holder and anti-bacterial soap.

 I chose the Midnight Pomegranate PocketBac with a blue and white tie dye holder and Island Margarita anti-bacterial soap. Just three random choices!

When I got to the counter, I really could not help buying something and the new Carried Away scent was available in a 3oz. body splash for $2 and 2oz. lotion for $1! You definitely cannot go wrong there!

 

Again, at the counter, can't help myself! LOL! I saw these 1.6oz candles of the new scents: Calypso Sun, Carribbean Escape and Sparkling Mojito. These were on sale for 3 for $5 (reg. $3.50 each). They all smell amazing. Very tropical and they have me excited for the warm weather that will (hopefully) be coming soon!

All together I spent a total of $8.69 (includes tax). Can you say GREAT DEAL?! 

I also went to my local LUSH and picked up two more of the Once a Year Massage Bar and two Cinders bath bombs. Sadly, my LUSH, which was in a Macy's, closed down on Sunday. I live in New York and there are a few LUSH stores in Manhattan but having this LUSH close by was such a convenience! I am sad to see it go because I only recently go into LUSH. 

One last thing:

Here are a picture of the socks my aunt picked up for me at the BBW sale that ended on Sunday. They cost only $1 and change!

Revlon Perplex...Plus Inexpensive Candles at Sears!

I just picked up Revlon Perplex at my local Duane Reade! It was in a display of 8 and was hidden behind a N.Y.C display. Luckily, I am stubborn and wouldn't leave the store without finding it first and my searching paid off!

Now, you may ask what is so special about this nail polish. Well, there is major rumors that Revlon Perplex is an almost exact dupe of Chanel Paradoxal. If you are like me, then I'm sure you wouldn't want to shell out the $23 for the Chanel. I was more than glad to pay just $4.79 for the Revlon version.

Swatches soon!

Next order of business: inexpensive candles.

While shopping curtain shopping with my mother at Sears last Friday, I came across the clearance section in the Home goods area. Now, I love candles so when I saw shelves full of candles I just had to rush over and smell every one of them! (Did I ever mention how much this annoys my boyfriend when we go shopping? ;D )

These candles were originally $9.99 each but were on sale for I believe it was $4.99. But get this! They took an extra 50% off at checkout so I basically got these 2 HUGE candles for the price of one ($4.99).

The two scents that I chose were the only two scents I could stand out of about 5 choices that were there.

Creamy Vanilla smells delicious. It smells like sugar cookies with a hint of vanilla frosting. YUMMMAAAYYY!

Holiday Spice has a smokey scent to it. It also smells very woodsy and I can definitely smell apples and cinnamon!

BATH AND BODY WORKS MINI HAUL

Last week I took a stroll in my local mall and decided to step into Bath and Body Works for the heck of it. Normally I do not shop in Bath and Body Works because the scents that take over that store is overwhelming. However, this time around I decided to check things out after hearing such great things about the PocketBacs. The promotion that is going on right now is 5 PocketBac for $5 when they are normally $1.50 each. The Slatkin & Co. 4 oz. candles were on sale for $5 each (Orginal $9.50).

  Reindeer PocketBacs: Santa's Mallow Mint and Vixen's Sweet Mint.

Santa's Mallow Mint smells sort of like marshmallows with the tiniest bit a mint scent. I am not quite sure how I feel about this scent. Maybe it is because the color of it doesn't match up with the smell?

Vixen's Sweet Mint smells DELICIOUS! To me, it smells like bubblegum flavored medicine!

Holiday Traditions PocketBacs: Vanilla Bean Noel and Winter Candy Apple

Vanilla Bean Noel smells like vanilla with the tiniest bit of cocoa smell. I love vanilla but again, I do not like that the color does not represent the scent.

Winter Candy Apple does not smell like candy apples. Instead, it reminds me of a body wash I used in the past but I cannot remember the name of it. This PocketBac has a strong perfume scent, almost floral.

Twilight Woods Signature Collection

Twilight Woods smells AMAZING! It has a musky scent, which I think is perfect for guys to use since they may not like the other "girly" scents.

Cranberry Woods smells like fruit punch with a little floral smell.

Autumn has a floral scent but it is not overwhelming which I LOVE!
