Haul - Yankee Candles
16:35I've been buying Yankee Candles for a while now and I adore them! They make my room look so pretty and mature and they smell heavenly, how can you not want them in your life? :)
I purchase my Yankee Candles from www.Yankeedirect.com and www.Yankeedoodle.com, I alternate between the two as Yankeedirect is cheaper package and posting, however sometimes the candles themselves can be a little cheaper on Yankeedoodle. So I tend to pick out the scents which I want to buy and depending on which one would work out cheaper for me, go with that one.
I'm open to trying a lot of scents in all honesty but i'm most drawn to sweet/fruity scents, however at Christmas I bought the 'Christmas Eve' candle, which was a tad more spicy and warm smelling but not too over-powering and the 'Jack Frost' candle which was more Peppermint and cool smelling, both of which I loved. However, I bought the 'Holiday Home Sweet Home' candle, a very strong scent and absolutely hated it! So i'm open to trying new scents, it just seems that a lot of the time those scents are cookie, cake or fruit related :)

So, I've nearly burnt all of my 'Christmas Eve', 'Jack Frost' and 'Christmas cookie', so I decided I was allowed to buy some new ones :') Is it just me or is buying candles really exciting? Maybe, it's just me but I get so excited! It's like Christmas all over again! :)
As you can see they are all beautifully packaged and you get 15 hours burn time from each, which I personally think is pretty darn good! :)
Country Lemonade: This one really does smell like Lemonade, I honestly thought it'd smell a little lemon-y and sugary but not actually capture the Lemonade smell but it so does! It has just the right blend of bitter lemon to the sweet sugary scent and this might just be me going a little crazy from candle fumes but it actually smells fizzy, maybe it is just me because that sounds mental!? But honestly to me it does smell fizzy, very bizarro! :)
Vanilla Cupcake: Now, I think this is something that would appeal to many people if you told them it's name. However, I've let people have a whiff of my candles before and I always say 'Oh, I love this one.' and they always reply with a 'Mhmmm' and an unsure face. So maybe this one isn't for everybody... But I love it! I honestly do, I've repurchased this numerous times and also bought the Christmassy version 'Christmas Cookie' I just can't get enough! :) The scent is genuinely vanilla cookie/cake batter there's no other way to describe it! Pure loveliness...

Black Cherry: Now, this one quite suprised me. I thought it would be more of a fake cherry smell, however it really isn't. It isn't as sweet as I thought it would be but I like it because of that. I like the fact it's more of a 'fresh' scent.
Island Guava: I had no idea what to expect with this one but I took the plunge and decided to buy it. It smells lovely, the tropical fruit notes are very subtle but they make as a whole a lovely fruity smell :) I'll no doubt repurchase this one as I love tropical fruits!
Well, that's all :) I'll do a review once my other candles have burnt up and i've had chance to see how much throw they give in my room but overall I find Yankee candles to be rather good :)
Lot's of Love
