Scent Circus Blogger Box Review

Hiya Guys!

A couple of months ago I was contacted by Scent Circus who are a Wax Melt Brand that create unique Eco and Vegan Friendly Soy Wax Melts. I have followed and purchased from Scent Circus for well over a year now, so I was super excited when they asked if I would like to be sent a 'Blogger Box' full of their products to review. 

If you follow me on Instagram you will know that I am a big fan of Wax Melts and regularly post Wax Melt related videos and pictures so this is a really exciting Blog Post for me to write. As you can see from the below picture I received a variation of Melts which have a bit of a Disney theme which I love because I am a HUGE Disney fan - so this was already an advantage. 

Home Before Midnight 

As you can see Home Before Midnight has a Cinderella Carriage look to it and is scented as Sweet and Salty Popcorn, which is one of my favourite treat foods at the moment so I absolutely love this scent. It also has a hint of Salted Caramel, the main scent notes being Popcorn, Sweet Vanilla, Brown Sugar, Caramel and a hint of Seasoning Salt - it has a real Autumnal feel to it.

Dare To Dream

Following on from the Disney theme is Dare To Dream which is the classic Princess Castle, the detail which goes into these Wax Melts is unbelievable - they look too beautiful to melt! Dare To Dream is described as Cocoa Butter, Cotton Candy with hints of Sugared Strawberries.

Happily Ever After

Happily Ever After is a Cookies and Cream Wax Melt and smells SO delicious, just like Chocolate Sandwich Cookies with a Creamy Frosting centre. Which is another melt that would be perfect for Autumn/Winter, melting this on a cosey night in whilst drinking Hot Chocolate sounds ideal to me and I am so excited to try it out!

Happily Ever After

Pixie Dust

How cute is this Tinkerbell looking Wax Melt? I honestly feel as though I don't want to melt these as they are all so beautiful - the most attention to detail I have ever seen when it comes it Wax Melts and trust me I have tried a lot of different brands. This is a Laundry type scent which is soft, clean and super strong! I will be burning this in the Kitchen - there is nothing better than fresh scents in the Kitchen.

Hubba Hubba

The name Hubba Hubba is perfect for this Wax Melt - Sticky and Sweet Bubblegum! A classic scent, it reminds me exactly of the Bubblegum you'd get as a child that was bright pink - such a nostalgic scent. You can also buy Wax Brittle in the same scent.

Unicorn For Life

Unicorn For Life is a big Wax Slab which can be used multiple times due to it's size, just snap a piece off and pop in into your burner and your House/Room will smell just like a Sweet Shop! Unicorn For Life is described as a mouth watering fragrance reminiscing of the sweeties 'Love Hearts'.

Unicorn For Life

With ever order placed on Scent Circus you will receive a Free Wax Melt which is a lovely little extra. I would highly recommend Scent Circus to any Wax Lovers or anyone who is looking to try Wax Melts for the first time. 

They also hold a competition each month where if you post a picture on your Instagram and use the hashtag #ScentCircus you can be in with the chance of winning a box of goodies!

Collective Haul

Hiya Guys!

I hope you are all doing well and have been enjoying this incredible weather we'e been having in the UK recently. This Blog Post is going to be a Collective Haul of things I have bought over the past month or so. Let's get straight into it...

Happy Place Cosmetics - Worst Behaviour Body Scrub

Happy Place Cosmetics are an incredible brand who sell Handmade, Vegan and Cruelty Free Cosmetics - I have been following this brand on Instagram for a while now but never got round to placing an order as their restocks are always SO crazy (I mean I'm not surprised since everything looks so incredible) but I did manage to pick up one product that I had been eyeing up for a while. Worst Behaviour Body Scrub - Worst Behaviour is their dupe for Calacas by Lush and for anyone who isn't familiar with this scent (first of all, you're seriously missing out) but it is a super citrusy lime and lemon scent. The scent of this Body Scrub is such an incredible dupe and has made me even more excited to pick up some products - especially the 'Stitch' products which are Blue Raspberry Slushie scented.

Happy Place Cosmetics 

Bath Bake Love - Cotton Candy Bath Cream and Melon Bingsu Crumble Scrub 

Bath Bake Love are another independent brand which I found on Instagram who also sell Handmade, Vegan and Cruelty Free Cosmetics. This is my second order that I have placed from BBL and I love their products! They release a new collection every month and also have a collection of core products which are stocked throughout the year. This time I ordered the Cotton Candy Bath Cream and the Melon Bingsu Crumble Scrub. Their Bath Creams can be used a number of ways, I like to add it to my Bath Cocktails and run it under hot water to make the water smooth and creamy and I also like to use it for shaving. Melon Bingsu Crumble Scrub is such a lovely Body Scrub, it has been the one I have used most often recently to exfoliate not only my body but my lips as well - it really does smell delicious.

Jeffree Star Cosmetics - Hand Held Mirror

There isn't really much to say about this other than, HOW CUTE? I placed my first Beauty Bay order recently just to get this Jeffree Star Mirror and I am so happy I bought it. 

Jeffree Star Cosmetics - Hand Held Mirror

Pop Vinyl - Danny Zuko and Sandy Olsson

Me and my other half Alex have been collecting Pop Vinyl's for over two years now and Danny and Sandy are the most recent additions to our collection. Grease is one of my favourite films so when I saw these in Forbidden Planet in Manchester I couldn't leave them there! I'm so glad they created a Sandy when she turned up to the Carnival in her leathers - that is one of my favourite scenes. 

Forbidden Planet

Curious Owl Shop - Personalised Necklace 

I made a purchase from Curious Owl Shop a couple of months ago for a Family Member and when their Personalised Necklace arrived I knew I needed to order myself one. These are so beautiful and delicate, I got my boyfriend's name and our anniversary. The shop owner is such a lovely lady as well - always responds to any messages and questions you may have. The shop sell lots of different jewellery pieces including personalised items. 

Curious Owl Shop

Kat Von D - Metal Crush Extreme Highlighter Palette

This is my third KVD Highlight product I have purchased and I have to say I out of my MAC, Benefit and Drugstore Highlighters - KVD are the best out there in my opinion. I swatched this palette in Sephora when we went to Disneyland Paris but since I had spent a silly amount of money on Disney merch I didn't need and the KVD Saint Perfume I thought I should pass. But couldn't wait much longer and ordered it a couple of months later. Below are some swatches with flash, this picture doesn't do the product much justice but if head over to my Instagram you'll be able to see the video which shows them off a lot more. 

Kat Von D - Metal Crush Extreme Highlight Palette 

Primark - Mickey Mouse Light 

Primark have really stepped up their Disney game the past couple of months and when I saw this Mickey Mouse Light I needed to buy it! There was no passing on this item, for Disney fans who don't like the overly tacky items this is perfect, it looks so sleek and modern but adds that little Disney touch and what a bargain for £10.00! I only recently purchased this so it should still be in stores if you want to pick one up. 

Urban Decay - All Nighter Setting Spray

Urban Decay All Nighter is hands down my favourite Setting Spray. I will always re-purchase this, I have tried so many different brands but always go back to UD!

Urban Decay - All Nighter Setting Spray

NYX Cosmetics - Liquid Suede Mini Lipsticks

If you know me you will know how much I love NYX Liquid Suede Lipsticks, they are the only Lipsticks I wear and I own pretty much every shade. So when I saw these Mini's in Duty Free Manchester I just had to pick them up! They were 3 for £5 so I got my three favourite shades, my go to nude 'Sandstorm', a classic black 'Alien' and a grey in the shade 'Stone Fox'. I was so chuffed when I saw these - the perfect size for a clutch bag.

I would recommend these Lipsticks to anyone, the formula is so lovely - a Liquid Lipstick that dries down matte and doesn't leave your lips looking dry and crusty!

NYX Cosmetics - Liquid Suede Lipsticks

And that is it! I hope you guys enjoyed this Blog Post and you'll be seeing a lot more of me very soon! I have lots of posts planned including a Lush Exclusives Haul and a very exciting post with a Independent Brand I have been following for a long time now. I have also started my YouTube channel so click HERE if you wish to check that out.

Melia May Candles

Hiya Guys!

I know it has been over a year since I have posted on my Blog, with one thing and another I didn’t have much inspiration to post but I am back and full of ideas and motivation! I’m excited to start posting regularly again and I’m going to kick things off with an exciting collaboration.

I am pleased to now be a Brand Rep for Melia May Candles, who are an independent business that create the most gorgeous wax creations by hand. I recently received my first package from them and was extremely impressed, everything is so well presented and smells incredible.

As you can see Melia May Candles have wax in all different forms - Brittle, Pots, Mini Melts, Crumble, Pies and Donuts! If you like the sound of anything you can use the code AMBER10 for 10% off at check out.

Eton Mess - Wax Brittle

Eton Mess caught my attention first as I love the look of Wax Brittle - this is described as 'a fruity, mouth watering blend of fresh strawberries and sun ripened raspberries on a sweet balsamic base of sugar meringue, fresh cream and vanilla'. The clue is in the name, it smells good enough to eat!

£2.50 Eton Mess Wax Brittle

Salt Water Taffy - Wax Pot

Not only does this Wax Pot look beautiful it smells absolutely incredible. This is probably my favourite scent from the package and I will certainly be re-purchasing this once I've used it up. It is described as 'caramel glazed popcorn, warm taffy apples and sweet, creamy salt water taffy'. 

£2.00 Salt Water Taffy

Fruit Loops - Sample

I received a sample of Fruit Loops in my package and I need to buy more of this! I've recently converted my Mum to a bit of a Wax Addict and as soon as I received my package she asked for two squares of this as she loved the scent. I'm currently melting Fruit Loops, although I would probably use 4 cubes next time as I like super strong scents. It is SO citrusy and described as 'sweet and delightful blend of juicy orange, ripe berries, tangerines and sweet sugary vanilla'.

£2.00 Fruit Loops

Rose Jam - Mini Melts

This one is for my fellow Lush lovers! A Rose Jam dupe in these cute little Mini Melts - they smell spot on and for those who love the Rose Jam Bubbleroon from Lush you will love this product! 

£1.80 Rose Jam

Bakewell Tart - Mini Melts

These Bakewell Tart Mini Melts are SO similar to Happy Blooming by Lush, which is one of my all time favourite Lush scents. It smells just like you have walked into a Bakery, a super strong cherry scent!

£1.80 Bakewell Tart

Coco Loco - Mini Melts

If you ever have the Holiday Blues you need to get Coco Loco Mini Melts in your melter. These are described as 'an intoxicating aroma of white rum blended with coconut milk and sweetened with crushed vanilla pods'. A perfect Summer scent!

£1.80 Coco Loco

Bahama Mama - Wax Pot

Another Summer scent is Bahama Mama. This smells just like a Pina Colada described as 'fresh coconut mixed with oranges, nectarines, mangos and lemon and lime and finished off with pineapple'. 

£2.00 Bahama Mama

They are such lovely products and at a really great price - buy purchasing you will be supporting an independent business.
