Christmas Candles | elliewoods

Towards this time of year Nov- Dec (the christmas month) I find myself always on the lookout for a nice wintery  candle to get me into the spirit of Christmas. Even thought it is Summer here in Australia. I think that a nice vanilla scented candle just really gets you ready for Christmas. This year I stubbled upon this lovely candle, a vanilla and cinnamon scented candle for only $5. And it has been the only candle that I have been burning this entire month! Now I am unsure of what the brand of this candle is, but those who live in Australia may be able to find these in Safeway for $5 each. However with these candles I wasn't really fussed about what the brand as I just thought I would share with you my favourite Christmassy scent for this year!

I also couldn't help myself and grabbed another which is Berry Botanicals which I Think will be perfect for the Summer months.

With a burning time of over 25 hours and a aroma that will fill a entire room they are definitely the perfect little candle to have in any room of the house.

Beauty Haul!! makeup and more

Hello All!

So as you may be able to tell from the title I went on a little shopping spree and purchased a few things that I probably shouldn't have, but oh well! :) Whilst I bought a whole heap of things, some that are also not pictured here, I would just love to talk about the new range of Boe Beauty products I stumbled across whilst shopping!

The majority my makeup purchases was from a new little brand called Boe Beauty where all stock is $2, who could pass up such a bargain! The products I purchased were a pressed finishing powder compact in #1 Transluscent F/ Powder, it is quite a nice pinky colour and comes up quite well on the cheeks.

 

Along with this I also bought some lipsticks in the colours #4 Goddess, #6 Coral Kiss, #13 Natural Tea Rose and #14 Birthday Suit. This lipsticks are very pigmented and do come out basically the colour that is on the bottom of the packaging. Although these lipsticks are quite cheap, once they have a gloss over them they do last for a lot longer than they would without gloss. The only downside is that without gloss they are very easy to come off in just one wipe.

From Left to Right: #6 Coral Kiss, #4 Goddess, #13 Natural Tea Rose and #14 Birthday Suit.

 

Lastly from the Boe Beauty Products, I had to buy some lipglosses to go along with my new lipsticks These lipglosses aren't really that pigmented but they do have a nice finish and aren't to sticky like most cheaper lipglosses. I purchased 3 lipglosses in the colours #8 Milk Chocolate, #4 Kissalicious and #5 Ruby in the Sky.

 From Top to Bottom:  #8 Milk Chocolate, #4 Kissalicious and #5 Ruby in the Sky.

Im thinking that I may soon do a blog on either my everyday makeup, the rest of the make up I purchased or a kind of room tour blog so you can see how my room all ties in together or even just to give you some ideas on ways to design your room :) ta ta! and see you next time! x

What's your favourite scent/candle?

After many searches for the perfect candle, now im not saying I haven't ones that aren't as lovely as this one. Yet everything about this candle is gorgeous from its packaging to the first whiff.
I actually received this candle as a gift from one of my good friends recently on my 18th birthday and instantly fell in love with it.

Even before it is lit you can smell the sweet vanilla scent. Once lit it brings a refreshing yet not to overbearing scent to the room. This one candle has replaced my 6 old candles which I would have to have lit them all just to get the same results as this one candle brings.

This one little candle is everything that I have been looking for in a candle so far and would love to know if you have any candles which are also a must have.
I highly recommend this product and will definitely be repurchasing in the near future, as I have been lighting it every day so far.
