Yankee Candle Wishlist

I was going through my Bloglovin' feed the other day, and came across a new post by Hayley of haysparkle, where she came up with her Yankee Candle Wishlist, which I thought was really simple, but something a little different, so I thought I would come up with my own. Hayley, if you happen to read this, thanks for the inspiration!

1. Vanilla Satin

Sophisticated. Classic. A smooth blend of rick vanilla, romantic flowers and sensuous sandalwood.

This is my perfect vanilla scent, as I'm not too fond of straight up vanilla. It's a sweet vanilla, but more of a spiciness to it.

2. Juicy Peach

Practically dripping with the mouth-watering scent of luscious, crisp orchard peaches.

I love anything peach smelling, so I would love this! I think it'd be a great spring/summer scent aswell.

3. Fireside Treats

The joys of camp... mesmerised by the fire, singing and laughing, while toasting marshmallows to rich, gooey perfection!

This may be considered a autumn/winter candle, but this scent reminds me so much of summer, as we used to go camping, and would light a fire at night and toast marshmallows. 

4. Clean Cotton plug in

Sun-dried cotton combined with green notes, white flowers, and a hint of lemon.

I absolutely adore the smell of clean washing, and I would love my room to smell constantly of it! It's so fresh, and is perfect for all year-round, but more so in the countdown to spring, when you start putting washing on the line.

5. Sweet Pink

Escape to a magical place where romantic hopes bloom in the joyful blend of sweet floral nectars.

I think this would be great for Spring, as you really can't beat the smell of flowers on a lovely fresh spring day.

6. White Chocolate Bunnies

Everybody's hopping with joy for this delicious twist on a classic Easter basket treat... creamy, sweet white chocolate with a touch of vanilla.

Just read the description. That is all.

7. Raspberry Sorbet 

You'll get a delightful chill from the tongue tingling raspberry aroma of this creamy smooth dessert.

Again, a great spring/summer fruity candle. I just hope it wouldn't get too strong after a bit.

February Wishlist

1. PIXI Glow Tonic

This has been raved about as one of the best exfoliating toners around. I'm dying to see if this is as good as they say, and if it would really help control my dry, flakey patches.

2. Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge

Heard so many rave about this, and saying it's a dupe for the Beauty Blender (which is £16!). It's meant to give your foundation an airbrush, flawless finish.

3. Maybelline Mega Plush mascara

I often find, at the end of the day, tiny little black flakes where my mascara has flaked off, and this mascara is supposed to not do this, so would like to see how this performs.

4. Jo Malone Peony and Blush Suede cologne

I've wanted to try a Jo Malone perfume for so long now! It seems to be one of the "in-things" with YouTube gurus and beauty bloggers, and this scent sounds so gorgeous! I haven't actually smelt it, so I suppose what should be on my wishlist is to actually smell this perfume.

5. NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer

This was one of those highly hyped up concealers during 2013. It's meant to not crease, and is meant to have really good coverage, and not look cakey.

6. Illamasqua Hydra Veil

I first heard about this through one of Pixiwoo's videos. It's meant to be a hydrating primer, that's specifically good for dehydrated skin, which I have. Would like to see how this looks under foundation, and if it would help disguise dry patches.

7. Bobbi Brown Makeup Manual

This is another of those "in-things" with beauty bloggers etc. Everyone seems to have this on their coffee table! And it's meant to be quite eduucational. I'm sure I would learn some new tricks in this book.

8. Hydraluron Moisture Booster

It seems every blogger went crazy over this, after hearing Caroline Hirons (a fantastic skincare expert with a blog) rave about this. Again, it's meant to be very good for dehydrated skin, and is meant to overtime, help your skin to keep its moisture. It's currently a third off aswell at Boots, so I may be purchasing this very soon!

Have you tried any of these? What are your thoughts?
