Bath & Body Works: Mint Chocolate Candle Review!!!

Hey everyone!!!


I'm actually reviewing something that's a little bit out of my element today; a candle.
But this isn't just any candle. Oh no. It's a three wick Bath & Body Works candle! I actually have never used one before, as we never had the store in my city. But we recently got one, and I got two candles when they had their 2 for $20 sale!
And obviously, I got the Mint Chocolate scent! 
I'm actually a big fan of mint chocolate in general, and the smell was so perfect, I knew I had to get it. And plus the colour. I'm in love with pastels, so I snatched two up!



I didn't think of taking a picture of it either when it was unlit, so my bad! But you can kinda tell the colour.
I didn't even realize the scent until after I looked at the little picture on the front.
I googled this too, to see if maybe I could find an image of an unlit one, but to no avail. But I did notice that the picture design changes every year, so I'm assuming this is a product that comes out every year.
(Told you I'm a noob when it comes to candles)

But anyways!
I really enjoyed the scent in the store, and kept smelling it the entire drive home. And until I finally lit it.

:|
It's a weird candle to me. When it's burning, it smells minty and chocolatey. But at the same time, I was left questioning "What on earth is that smell oh my god why does my room smell like that what did I eat?!"
And of course I bought two. But I used one up and I'm currently on my second. I suck at burning candles cause I always forget I have them. They're literally just decoration to me.




I don't even know with this picture but hey, you can see my pajama pants because I hate real pants.
But I thought I would include the picture anyways.


I've heard multiple times, and i'm pretty sure it would say on the candle that these have 40 hours of burning power in them, or something along those lines. But I actually can't even agree with that, because well, I don't sit on my phone or stare at a clock whenever I burn these.


The scent is pretty strong though!
It's really cold right now (today is a horrible example as I'm currently blinded by the sun) so I haven't been able to open my windows.
And I have a dog that likes to shed on everything and rub against random things, so I have to leave my bedroom door closed so I don't have pet hair all over. And those two things together can leave my room smelling not so fresh.
But I burnt one of these bad boys for a few hours the other day before work, and it smelled like mint chocolate after and for the rest of the day!!


Again, I'm really iffy about the smell. It's kind of a love hate relationship basically.
But I'm really wanting to try out some more of the Bath & Body Works candles, so if you guys have a favourite scent, let me know so I can try it out!!!

One of the things I really enjoy about these candles, is that when it's burning and I wanna put it out, I can just put the lid on it and it'll go out instantly! I really suck at blowing (wow don't even take that dirty you perverts) so this is awesome.


Overall; I would rate this a 6/10.
For the most part, I did like the scent. And the candle itself was cute.
And I like that I can just put the lid on it and it'll go out.
But again, there was the odd time I didn't like the scent. It was just weird smelling, and that really bothered me. 
And can we talk about the price for a second? $20 for a freaking candle. (They're not that bad when they're on sale but normally they're $20)

Cute Back to School Supplies!!!

Hey everyone!!!


Today I wanted to share some news, so I figured the best way to share that would be to do so in a blog post!!

Before we jump into the cute items for back to school, I wanted to share two things!
1. I'm going to try to keep up a posting schedule! I'm hoping to do every weekday!
& 2. On either Fridays or Mondays, I wanted to share a 'Week in Review' type of blog post, where I share everything that happened during the week. :3

But!!! Moving onto the blog post!!!

I'm sure a lot of you are going back to school, and while some of you may not be excited about it, at least you can look forward to cute school supplies!
Some of you may know that I'm graduated from high school, and have been for quite a while now. I really wish I had discovered eBay and online shopping while in school though, as there's so much cute and cool things!
I always had the basic coloured notebooks and whatnot, and honestly, those were boring to me.

So without further blathering, let's move on!






























I hope you guys enjoyed this post! :3

What's On My iPhone?!

Hey everyone!!

Today I wanted to do a post, showing you all what's on my iPhone. I've had it for about two months now :3
So lets go ahead and jump into everything!!


This is the first thing you see :3 
It's one of my favourite quotes. Anytime I'm in a bad mood and see this, it helps calm me down. 


This is my wallpaper :3 I found it on Cocoppa and thought it was really cute. It actually reminds me of my old baby blanket. 


So as you can tell, I have two pages. The second page just has apps I never use, so this is the only one I see. I have the basic apps that I use a lot out and ready for me. 
On the bottom row are the apps I use the most. I text a lot :x


So in my first app folder, I have all the social apps that I use. (The tumblr app doesn't fit in lol)
I mainly use the top row of apps, the second is just kinda there :p



This is my 'speed dial' folder. I have way too many contacts, so finding everyone is a pain. These are just the people I call most often. I kinda need to update it though cause I need to add my sisters and take off people lol


Now here's the fun one!! 
These are all the apps I use to edit pictures, and watermark them for tumblr. 
My favourites are definitely Whitagram, Over, and PS Express. 


This is my 'Utilities' app, which just kinda holds all the apps I use, but not very often. Although I really like the Flashlight app. It has a strobe light on it!!


This folder only has two apps in it. 
But I use both pretty often. I put getting the Starbucks app off for a month and I regret it. I'm already at green level :3 it's definitely worth it!


And here's the last folder! It just has some games I play when I'm really bored waiting for someone, or whenever I wanna run down my battery :3

That's everything on my iPhone!! I hope you guys liked this post :3
Let me know if you want to see any other type of blogs too.

EOS Lip Balm Review

Hey everyone!!

Today I'm going to be reviewing the EOS Lip Balms! :3
These are something I'm sure almost everyone has heard of by now, and you've probably even seen them around in stores.

I own a lot of these, and they're all quite different.
The flavours I own are: Honeysuckle Honeydew, Summer Fruit, Sweet Mint, Strawberry Sorbet, and the Alice In Wonderland trio which includes Blueberry Potion, Sweet Vanilla Nonsense, and Watermelon Wonderland.


(Honeysuckle Honeydew, Sweet Vanilla Nonsense, Blueberry Potion)

These were the only ones I could actually find at the moment, as I have them all over the house/in purses/at work.
The packaging is really cute, but simple yet unique. This is probably what lured me in honestly.
When I decided to get them, I googled to see where I could find them cause last year it wasn't that easy. Now you can get them just about anywhere (I got Honeysuckle HoneyDew, Sweet Mint, Strawberry Sorbet and Summer Fruit at Chapters, but I've seen then at Walmart as well.)
But the trio however, I had to purchase that online which was about $14. These ones are limited edition.
Each individual lip balm is around $6, so I saved about $4.


When you first receive and open them, they look like more like the Blueberry Potion flavour. But after using them for a while, they obviously diminish like Honeysuckle Honeydew. Just while taking this picture, they managed to make the corner of my room smell heavenly!

I feel like you honestly do have to try a few of these to like them. My Summer Fruit and Sweet Mint flavours look like I hardly touch them because well, I don't. These two I find to be dry when you apply them, while the others glide on with ease. After using the Summer Fruit flavour for a week straight, the skin under my lips had a weird reaction and got really red. This only happened with this flavour though.


Again when they're closed, you can see they have little dents in the packaging which makes it easier to grasp and open. The trio has two extra dents which I wasn't used to but you hardly even notice it.

I use Honeysuckle Honeydew on a daily basis when I'm applying my makeup. It keeps my lips hydrated and after 15 minutes, my lips are ready for lipsticks!


I wanted to describe the scents to you guys as well. I typically try to stay clear of super sweet scents so this might be helpful.

(Favourite to least favourite)

Blueberry Potion - It smells like a blueberry pie, basically what you would except! The scent doesn't last long though.
Sweet Vanilla Nonsense - Literally smells like a cupcake, which I love. I wore this out on a date and he said he could smell it even after an hour. Because this is a scent I actually really enjoy, I didn't have a problem with it.
Strawberry Sorbet - Basically it smells like strawberries with a hint of vanilla. I usually use this one at work and it tastes pretty fantastic too.
Honeysuckle Honeydew - A sweet smell. I haven't smelled actual honeydew or anything like that, but it does have a melon like scent.
Watermelon Wonderland - Exactly like watermelons! :3
Summer Fruit - It smells like a mix of apples and melons. I like the smell, but because of the texture when I apply it, it bothers me and I always think of this when I smell it.
Sweet Mint - Like mint. I'm not a big fan of mint but if you use it after you brush your teeth, it helps keep your breath minty fresh a while longer.


My rating?
9/10

This would get a perfect 10/10 if it wasn't for the two flavours being so drying on my lips, and the weird reaction I had.
Strawberry Sorbet is the flavour I would recommend overall of course, just because of the light pink colour, scent and name.
