Product Review: Emma's Eco-Soy Candles.

Hello there Ladies and Gentlemen. So today I have a review for you guys. I'm reviewing products from the lovely home grown business that is Emma's Eco-Soy Candles. I was contacted by this business as a result of #swapbiz on Twitter, and I jumped at the chance to review their products especially since I'm a candle lover. If you don't have a bath, candles are the next best thing to relax, light a few candles, put up your feet and relax.

What makes Emma's Eco-Soy Candles different?

Made with only pure essential oils, Emma's are an all natural candle meaning there are no parabens, no synthetics or any badness. This is great as I tend to go for all natural cosmetics, why should my candles be any different. The soy in the candles is clean burning so it won't leave off any bad black smoke unlike regular candles. Also for all you Eco Warriors out there, the plastic containers for the wax tart melts are biodegradable which is all good!

What did I get?

I was pleasantly surprised at what I was sent. I got three full-sized products to try out. I was sent two wax tart melts and a 100ml candle.

Lemongrass Pure Essential Oil Candle

Yankee candle who now? This is my new favorite candle hands down! Oh my goodness it is magical! The lemongrass oils are a mood lightener which is good for those affected by SAD seasonal affective disorder. As well as that it makes the air in the room refreshed and clean. This sized candle is supposed to have a 20hr burning life. Emma can you make one that lasts forever? I literally haven't stopped burning it. My Mother is also obsessed with it! Her birthday is coming up soon so who knows, she might get one.

Lavender Wax Tart Melt

This can only be described as a warm comforting hug. Lavender has relaxing properties so this melt should be used before bed or when you just need to wind down. Pffft who needs a hot relaxing bath when you have a lavender wax tart. I sometimes have trouble sleeping so I put it to the test. I put it in my burner an hour before bed and blew it out before getting into bed (safety people) and I nodded off with ease. You can also get this fragerance in bigger size candles, which I will go into more detail further on.

Orange & Palmarosa Wax Tart Melt

This is so sweet, but a natural sweet. I liked the smell that diffused through the room, almost like someone was baking. It has a homily feeling about it. With this and all the other wax tarts your break a small bit off, put it in the oil burner and light the tea light below.

The wax will then turn to a nice oil, and it's only then will it emit it's beautiful fragrance. You don't have to use too much of the product as a little goes a long way.

Is there many fragrances to choose from?

Oh yes! You have 6 beautiful fragrances to choose from, one to cater your smelling need;

• Lemongrass
• Lavender
• Citrus Blend (lemon, lime & grapefruit)
• Orange & Palmarosa
• Neroli Fusion
• Harmony Blend (rose geranium & sweet orange oil)

Shapes, sizes and prices?

You can get each of the fragrances in; a 50hr glass tumbler for €19.95, a 20hr tin candle (shown above) for €9.95 and the cute wax melt tarts for €4.95

Where can I find Emma and her amazing candles?

You can contact Emma at info@emmas.ie or call on 00-353-87-4181014.

Overall I was delighted with my products from Emma's Eco-Soy Candles and would definitely purchase more, maybe a glass tumbler perhaps! Support home grown businesses and buy a lovely candle today

February Favorites :)

It's a whole new month and you know what that means!!!!!!?
I have a look through all the things I enjoyed last month!
February is a month that goes super quick and can sometimes be forgotten (especially if you're single like me and there's that day that we won't mention and would quite gladly forget the whole freaking month!!!)..
Moving awkwardly along lets discuss the favorites of February.

Lush Stuff

Every month is a given that i have new Lush Cosmetics favs so we all just have to deal with it LOL.

Tender is the night Massage Bar

I always had a love/hate relationship with Lush's massage bars but this one is LOVE LOVE LOVE! It's a creamy vanilla and jasmine scented massage bar that leaves your skin so soft and smelling sexy. Jasmine is an aphrodisiac, meaning it gets you in the mood. I use this when I'm going out for drinks or dinner because being the Bridget Jones that I am I'm looking for my Mark D'arcy. Such a favorite this month.

Sea Spray

Over the past month I've noticed that without straightening my hair as much It has started to become more wavy, which is a good thing but sometimes it's not a nice wavy if you get me. Sea Spray from Lush has helped define my waves better. Made from sea salt it gives you that beachy look. I love it because it gives me shine and it also has a small amount of gel in it for hold. Spray - Scrunch- Go! simples! It has neroli oil too which is mood lightening which was something I needed this month.

Gorgeous Facial Moisturiser.

Last but certainly not least in this Lush section is Gorgeous. I have only started using it towards the end of the month but oh my god the effects were immediate! Made from the finest cold-pressed oils there is no expense spared with this one. My skin was dull and full of blemishes and after a few days use, it was clearing, smoother and looking more plump (in a good way). Retailing at €49.95 it is expensive but your skin is an investment. Totally repurchasing.

Garnier BB cream.

A guy who wears BB cream?.. I'm almost too gay to function. This is a product I wore a lot during February whilst my skin was bad. It conceals blemishes, evens out skin tone, covers pores and moisturises the skin. I work in Cosmetics and the last thing you want is to be buying facial care off a guy with bad skin. As my skin is getting better I don't use it as much, but if I do get a pesky breakout BOOM it has disappeared!. Guys should try it, it's 2014!! That reminds me, is guyliner a thing anymore? Let me know!

Pharmaton Vitamins

Cutting sugar out of my diet in the lat few weeks has been a long a tiresome (literally) process. Initially I had no energy as I was used to getting them from sugar. I read about pharmaton and decided to give them a go. At first I was no difference but after 4/5  days I started feeling great and I was full of energy. It has ginseng which gives you that boost! I'd recommend it to people dieting but also people who want to get the most out of their vitamins.

TREsemme Keratin smooth Heat protecting spray

This has been my favorite for many months now but I keep forgetting to blog about it. I have an old post about in my hair care routine if you want a look in depth about it. I never thought heat protectants were ever that good but after using this one my hair feels in such good condition! The Keratin in it builds back the condition in the hair making it softer and more smoother. Buy a heat protection spray, your hair is precious!

Aussie 3 Minute Miracle Shine

To be honest I only bought it because it was 3 for 2 on Aussie and this was the only treatment that was left. However, I am glad I picked it! My hair since I have stopped dying it has become quite dull and this does the trick to make it look sleek and shiny. The scent is gorgeous too, it smells very sweet but not a false sweet either. It has ginseng and pearl powder to give you that shine. It helped brighten up my hair during this gloomy February.

Gaming.

Yes I admit it, I am a gaming nerd... I play minecraft in my spare time and I needed a mouse for my computer to help me play better. This is a wireless mouse from Logitech. It works really well! You just stick a small USB into one of the ports and it syncs with the mouse. Also it wasn't too costly which is a plus.

So that was my February Favorites! Hope you liked them! Any questions on the products mentioned just ask.

The Best Of Beauty Blog Challenge #BOBBLOGCHALLENGE week 5: Pince(ss) products.

Well hello there ladies and gentlemen. I was busy for last weeks #bobblogchallenge so apologies first off. This weeks post I found to be a difficult one as it's about expensive high-end products and as you know i'm a poor student, but with that said I have one or two things I would recommend.... and yes one is a Lush Cosmetics product. I work there yes but I get no special benefits for blogging about their products, they're just too damn good!

Paco Rabanne 1 million

I mentioned this glorious aftershave in a previous favorites post but this is the sh*t! Expensive as heck, yes! but so worth it! I got mine for €68 in boots, and to me that is a lot of money for an aftershave. I got the 100ml and it has lasted me ages. The scent is a manly fragrance with a fruity undertone almost (I smell things weird). Any guy who wants to impress the ladies (or gents) should have it! Total must have.

Gorgeous Facial Moiusturiser

A facial moisturiser fit for a princess!... No literally it is, or at least where it originated from. Gorgeous facial moisturiser from Lush has almost all the same ingredients that was in Princess Diana's facial moisturiser. It is Lush's most expensive facial moisturiser retailing at €49.95 for a 45g pot. This cleared up my skin within days of use! It has anti-aging oils such as evening primrose that can help improve elasticity in the skin. Don't take my word for it, take the leap and buy some, see it as an investment and you won't look back! :)

Any questions about this post or others just let me know!

Byyyeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee :)
