Snowflake Cookie Yankee Candle Review

I have never wanted to eat cookies more in my life.

Now I'm very new to the whole Yankee candle trend and this is my first purchase from them. As I am slightly Christmas obsessed, what better way to get in the spirit than buying a Christmas candle. So I decided on the scent 'Snowflake Cookie' because it just looked so pretty and I couldn't stop myself. I waited impatiently for it to arrive and it didn't let me down. 

Before I lit the candle I couldn't believe how much it smelt of real cookies (I think I sat for about five minutes sniffing the unlit candle).When I finally got round to lighting it, the smell I got was fresh baking and sweet icing sugar. I thought it was going to be extremely strong, it was actually quite subtle (Although I did stay in my room the whole time and probably adjusted to the smell).

Overall I had a great first experience with this Yankee candle and will hopefully be purchasing more soon!

'Snowflake Cookie' prices range from £1.12 to £14.99 Link (get quick while there's a deal on)

5 Perfume Favourites!

1. Dolce&Gabbana 'Dolce':

Description: This perfume is described as fresh, feminine and sweet and I couldn't agree more. If floral was a smell I actually believe it would smell like this. It's definitely my go to at the moment and look how pretty the bottle is! The smell does seem to fade a bit, but a re-appliance every few hours can solve this.

Longevity: 7/10

Price: £44.50 (30ml)

DIOR 'Addict' eau de parfum:

Description: This is also one of my favourites and definitely the strongest, long-lasting fragrance. It is described as fresh and captivating with soft femininity and sensuality. Although that's a lot of words for a smell, I think I agree. This is my go to on a evening or night out because it sticks with you wherever you go. As for the bottle, I think it's pretty simple and not too exciting, but who cares because it smells great!

Longevity: 9/10

Price: £46.50 (30ml)

Zara 'Rose' eau de toilette:

Description: This perfume is described as floral, fresh and fruity which once again I completely agree with! This is the sweetest smell I own and is a perfect Christmas gift with such a minimal price. This is a great fragrance to carry in your bag and spray every now and again to freshen up. The bottle is a pretty pink and for the price it looks very elegant and cute.

Longevity: 4/10

Price: £5.99

Far Away 'Bella' eau de parfum: 

Description: This perfume from Avon is a very feminine, fruity fragrance. It has a slight citrus smell to it and comes in such a pretty bottle. I think this is an excellent value for money as it's moderately long lasting and strong. It's a very summery fragrance and is great for a day to day, signature smell.

Longevity: 8/10

Price: £13.00 (50ml)

Vera Wang 'Princess':

Description: For me, Vera Wang 'Princess' is a downright classic! It has such a sweet, fruity smell and I don't think you can go wrong with it. The bottle is girly, elegant and shaped like a heart. My only issue with this perfume is that I just wished it lasted a little bit longer. (But hey ho, there's a reason it's almost empty).

Longevity: 7/10

Price: £39.50 (30ml)

I seem to be forever on the lookout for a new perfume that's sweet and stays the long length of a day! If anybody has any recommendations please let me know!

Bluesky Autumn Nails

Now I know it seems strange to be blogging about autumn nails when it is soon to be winter, but because bluesky gel lasts up to 2 weeks I had to impatiently wait. (Also my blog wasn't up and running back then!). Anyway, about a month and a bit ago I found out that bluesky had come up with an autumn range, so I had to check out some of the colours.

The first colour I chose was Autumn sand which isn't my usual colour nail polish. (I'm more of a 'go hard or go home' neon nails kind of girl). But I thought I would have a change and choose a colour I assosiate more with the autumn season. It took two coats of the polish to get the full effect, but if you just wanted a subtle brown shimmer you could just leave it at one coat. The colour definetly grew on me and shimmers when light hits it. Although I still wouldn't put it up there with the favourites, it is definetly a pretty shade.

The second colour was Midnight swim similar to Midnight from the Autumn range and this was definetly my favourite of the two. The colour came out darker than I expected, but I actually ended up loving it. This is a colour you could wear with one thick coat but I did two to cover any sparse areas. The dark blue is a great shade for anyone who doesn't like nail polish too fluorescent, but it was a really nice change for me.

I've also seen that bluesky have released a limited edition Christmas range, which I'm sure I will be ordering and reviewing soon enough.
