Fairy Dust - Lily Flame candle review.

Hello everyone!

Today I have a candle review from Lily-Flame in the scent Fairy Dust. The company Lily-Flame was established in 1994 and their items are handmade in Somerset, England. This is my first candle that I have from the Lily-Flame brand and the Fairy Dust is perfectly suited to my personality. I love the colour pink and I love fairies too. After discovering these candles I also now want to try the Chocolate Truffle, Coconut Grove, Crushed Almonds and the Powder Puff ( Among many others!)

Packaging:
The candle is housed in a decent sized tin with a fitted lid that is secure . I adore the font and the colours used as it looks magical and suits the name of the candle very well.
I also really like the brand name of Lily-Flame too.

Price:
The candles in a tin retail for £8.50 each and you can purchase one here. I would buy myself one for a special occasion but actually when you find out that they have between a 30-35 hour burn time then the price seems to be completely worth it.

Performance:
As soon as I pulled the lid off the tin I was met with the aroma of Fairy Dust. I keep on smelling it and it evokes memories but I can't quite place it. It really reminds me of talcum powder and also the powder that is on Turkish Delight too.
How cute are the pieces of decorative wax too that add something different? They remind me of sweeties.
The aroma also fills the room and the scent of the candle is strong which is what I look for in a candle.

*Remember to never leave candles unattended. Place them on a heat resistant surface. Keep away from animals, children and not near to objects that will catch light. Also be careful after lighting as the tin can become hot.*

Have you tried Lily-Flame candles before?

Love Laura xoxo (Who whilst writing this blog post,  must have sniffed the candle twenty times!)

Boujies London - Black pepper candle

I was very kindly sent a Boujies black pepper candle*  from Boujies London to try out and review which I couldn't wait to receive. After recently moving into a new home and buying all new furnishings this was a welcome addition to add to our decor. Not only does this candle fit perfectly with our colour scheme it's also a benefit to have a lovely scented home. Candles also create a calming ambience and when it's time to relax at night it is these finishes which add the extra touch of cosiness.

The candle I received is in the 'Black Pepper' scent and is a luxuriously scented soy candle.

All about Boujies;

We are very proud of our achievements to date and very much look forward to what the future holds."

All of their products are made in England by their master candle makers.
There are some gorgeous items on their website which are all encased in luxury packaging. I love the colour of the casing on this peony & grapefruit candle which retails for £12. They also sell gift sets such as this Chelsea Flowers Luxury gift set which epitomises class and would make a stunning gift.

Packaging:
The candle casing is pure luxury. It looks expensive and fits in with the decor of a room incredibly well. The lid is designed so it slides on and off with a cushioning- slide effect.
You can clearly see the brand logo on the top of the candle lid- it does remind me of a tin I had with a solid shampoo bar in and also a glitter bug. I think it's a similar font that is triggering my memory.
The candle is hand poured and there is a high level of detail on the casing. I particular like the writing around the rim.
  The colouring for mine is different than the one that I linked to on their website as they must have since redesigned their candles. I like how they have now colour co-ordinated their scents.

Boujies London- Black pepper - lit candle

Price:
This 'Black pepper candle' by Boujies retails for £12 with standard UK deliver at £3.95.
If you spend over £50 then delivery is complimentary.

Performance:
 As soon as you lift the lid off the candle you are met with the luxurious scent of the black pepper. My favourite scents happen to be fruity, vanilla, coconut or cocoa and whilst this is none of those it's a gorgeous scent that I keep on smelling to try and place what it actually contains.
It smells of a perfume that is incredibly wealthy and uses the best ingredients but it is a unique scent that I just can't place. It definitely has floral notes contained inside.
It has an impressive burn time of approximately 35 hours so with this you are definitely getting your moneys worth. I do think that I need to burn this candle for a sustained amount of time to fill my room with the aroma.

Have you ever bought anything from Boujis London?
