A COLLECTION OF MINE: CANDLES!

This pic is from here.
Hey everyone! I decided to do yet another collection video. Anyways, I LOVE candles and I decided that it would be fun to show you what I have and my thoughts on them! Leave a comment below or email me if you would like me to do a full-on review on any of these candles(: On to the post:


A COLLECTION OF MINE: CANDLES


I absolutely LOVE this scent, it is part of the Bath & Body Works Signature Collection in the scent Secret Wonderland. I loved this scent so much that I had to get the Shea Cashmere Hand Cream too(: It is described as: A whimsical blend of luscious strawberry, frosted jasmine petals, and white amber inspired by a world you never dreamed existed. (It sounds so magical) (:


And I absolutely LOVE Yankee Candle! And besides candles from there, I also have a Cinnamon & Sugar Lip Balm, and a Stress Relief Shea Butter and Cedarwood Room Spray(: Anyways, this Votive Candle is part of their Home Classics Collection in Beach Party which is sold exclusively at Meijer. It's described as: A vacation celebration just like putting on lotion and catching a few rays playing in the sun.


This one is also from the Home Classics Collection in Island Getaway in the Votive size. It's a wonderful beachy scent(: It is described as: A carefree tropical escape to a secluded beach surrounded by refreshing ocean air and lush flowers. (This one reminds me of my vacations to Florida) (: 


This one is also from the Home Classics Collection in the Votive size of Coastal Breeze. It's a very fresh scent(: It is described as: The refreshing tingle of sea spray and cool air with hints of lavender and musk.   


These next two candles are from the permanent Yankee Candle Collection that can be found at any Yankee Candle store. This one is the Tarte size of Coastal Breeze. It is described as: Like a day by the shore with the refreshing scent of cool salt air blowing across the dunes.


This one is the Small Jar size of the scent Midnight Jasmine. It reminds me of the Lilac Bushes beside my house which smell beautiful(: And surprisingly, it reminds me more of them than the actual Lilac Scent! It is described as: A seductively lush perfume of water jasmine, sweet honeysuckle, neroli, and mandarin blossom.   


I also have the Tea Light size of Harvest, which is described as: A blend of cinnamon, cloves, and musk, with a hint of sweet apples and pumpkin.


Welp, that's the end of my Candle Collection! I hope that you enjoyed it and remember, if you see any of these candles that you want a full-on review on, leave a comment below or email me!(: Anyways, as always, thanks so much for reading(: And remember to Follow this blog for updates!

Until later,

A COLLECTION OF MINE: PERFUMES!

Hey everyone! I decided that I would do a collection video showing you all of my perfumes! That way, you will know all that I have and if there are any that you would like me to do a review on or talk more about, you can email me, or leave me a comment telling me which one! On to the post:

A COLLECTION OF MINE: PERFUMES


First off, I have a couple Body Sprays from Bath & Body Works. This one is Warm Vanilla Sugar, it's a very warm and cozy scent (I like it for Winter). It's base notes are: Vanilla Absolute, Heliotrope, Musk, Veltol, & Sandalwood.


Here's the name close-up.


I also have a Body Spray in Japanese Cherry Blossom. It's a fruity scent but not overpowering, I like to wear it in the Summer or Spring(: It's base notes are: Vanilla Rice, Imperial Amber, Silk Musk, Cinnamon Incense, Himalayan Cedarwood, & Creamy Sandalwood. 


Here's a close-up of the name.


This one is from Bath & Body Works as well and is in the scent Sensual Amber, and let me tell ya, I absolutely LOVE this scent! It's pretty much been my favorite scent for several months now(: It's base notes are: Amber, Creamy Sandalwood, Vanilla, Patchouli, Praline, & Musk(: mmm(; I'm getting excited just talking about it ;D


I also have a couple of Body Sprays from Victoria's Secret(: This one is from the Island Waters Collection in Coconut Water & Pineapple. I LOVE this scent for Summer! It's very fruity & bright(: Unfortunatley, I don't think they sell it anymore...


Here's a close-up of the name.


I also got a gift set for Christmas of Mini Pink With a Splash Body Mists. So this one is in Fresh & Clean. I love this scent(: It really just makes you smell...Fresh & Clean ;D It is described as: A sparkling mix of crisp apple and soft lily.


I also have it in Soft & Dreamy, which is a little too sweet for me. I probably wouldn't have bought it if it hadn't come in a set. It is described as: A comforting blend of pink meringue and vanilla whipped cream. 


I also have it in Pretty & Pure, which is up there in my favorites with Fresh & Clean and Sensual Amber(: It is described as: A delicate blend of pure jasmine and pink lemonade.


Lastly for the VS Body Mists, I have Sweet & Flirty, which is less sweet than Soft & Dreamy, but still on the sweet side. It is described as: A sparkling mix of sweet sugar berry and pink grapefruit.


This one my grandma actually got me for Christmas from Marshall's, called Dessert. It's a little too sweet for me...


Obviously, I don't think my grandma read the bottle when she bought it ;D


From Hollister Co. I have their Malaia Fragrance, which I absolutely LOVE(: It's pretty much their signature scent that I think they spray all over the store(: Very beachy and soft(: My mom used most of it, that's why it's pretty much gone ;D it's described as: The natural beauty of a sundrenched Hollister girl. The essence of crisp water, sheer florals, and soft woody tones. The allure of the ocean and the California sun.(:   


Then I have a couple of Love's Perfumes from when I was like 10 ;D This one is in Berry Blues, it's just a classic Berry smell.


This one is in Vanilla Pop which is basically a classic Vanilla scent.


This one is in Sheer Petals, which is basically a floral scent.


This is my newest perfume, which I got for Christmas(: It is the Juicy Couture Viva La Juicy, which is a really nice, sophisticated scent to me. It is described as: With top notes of wild berries and juicy mandarin gently tempered with honeysuckle, gardenia, and jasmine.Underlying it all are warm tones of amber,caramel, vanilla, sandalwood, and praline. (If you want to see my full review of this perfume, click here). 


Lastly, I have some perfume samples that I get free when I order online from Sephora(: From left to right: Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue, Prada L'eau Ambree, two Flora by Gucci Samples, and Essence by Narcisco Rodriguez. If you want my full thoughts on any of these samples, leave a comment below or email me!(:


Welp, that's the end of my Perfume Collection! I hope that you enjoyed it and that maybe it gave you some ideas on perfumes to try out(: If you have any suggestions for Perfumes to try, I would love if you would leave a comment telling me, or email me! One that I'm really wanting to try is Jennifer Aniston's new scent! I love beachy-type scents and this description from Sephora really lured me in: 

In the creation of her debut fragrance, Jennifer Aniston called to mind her earliest and most beloved recollections of scent. Evoking memories of sunny days at the beach and happy summer nights, this captivating composition includes light, blooming floral notes set against a sensual base of musk and woods.

"I wanted this fragrance to be a personal library of scent memories. For example, my love of night blooming jasmine has lasted a lifetime. Growing up in California, I distinctly remember the scent of jasmine on summer evenings. I consider the scent of the ocean to be one of life's most uplifting sensual experiences. No aroma is quite so purifying, humbling and exhilarating. The combination of the salty air and tropical oils reminds me of long sunny days on the beach-pure happiness." —Jennifer Aniston

The bottle, inspired by Jennifer's love and appreciation of architecture, references the flow of a Frank Gehry building and the fluidity of a cresting wave.


I don't know about you, but that description makes me want to put it in my Sephora Shopping Cart and order it right now! And remember, if you see any perfumes in my collection that you would like a full review on, please email me or leave a comment! As always, thanks for reading!(: And remember to Follow this blog for updates!

Until later,
