Sweet Scents

Sweet Scents is a new business set up by two University students, Levi and Laura, who are making and selling beautiful scented candles, soaps and body scrubs. The girls kindly gave me two of their products to review, and after a couple of uses in the shower - I am in love!

Gingerbread Lady scented soap

The first one I tried was the Gingerbread Lady soap - the smell just dragged me in. It's like a Gingerbread latte x 10! It's a good chunky shape, so you're getting a whole lot of product and it's easy to use. Did I mention the smell? It's incredible - I felt like I had just stepped out of a bakery (or a Starbucks) mmmm.

Strawberry Jam Tart scented soap

Now this soap is slightly smaller, but just as cute. My flatmate was most drawn to this soap, she can't believe how much it smells like a jam tart! It lathers up just as nicely as the Gingerbread Lady soap, and although it might not last quite as long, as it is smaller in size, if you're more of a fan of sweet smelling soaps - then this could be for you!

Ice Cream Delight scented soap

I'm not sure what the prices are on these, but they have two other scented products on their Etsy store which are both priced at £2.80 - these are Ice Cream Delight scented soap and Apple Pie scented Cupcake candle, which both sound gorgeous!

Step aside Lush - I think I know where my Christmas presents are coming from this year!

If you want to ask Levi and Laura any questions about their scrumptious products, Sweet Scents have a twitter and a facebook page so go and check them out!

Apple Pie scented Cupcake candle

You can buy the Ice Cream soap and Apple Pie candle from their Etsy store right now and I'm sure other scented products like the ones I've reviewed will be available soon.
Also, if you're based in Preston their products are on sale at Strictly Cupcakes!

I hope you like this review and it's given you a slight idea of where to get some beautiful bargain presents for loved ones (or yourself!)

I ♥ Autumn Tag!

Okay technically it's the I ♥ Fall Tag, but I can't cope with Americanisms so it's Autumn! This is a youtube video tag but I've just stolen it from Bree Essrig because I love Autumn and I think it's a fun tag.

1. Favourite autumn lip product?

It's all about dark pinks, berry's and corals for me - with the occasional purple if I'm brave enough.

The three that spring to mind from my collection are Rimmel Moisture Renew in Funtime Fuscia, Revlon Colorburst in Coral and Revlon Superlustrous in Va Va Violet - very vampy, definitely exfoliate your lips before attempting to pull this one off!

2. Favourite autumn nail polish?

I don't tend to change my nail polish seasonly, if I fancy baby pink in the middle of winter I just go for it.
If we're following a similar theme to autumn lipsticks, I guess my three favourites would be Revlon Plum Attraction, Nails Inc Piccadilly Circus, and Topshop Hyperreal - bit different, but I just love the metallic bronze!

3. Favourite autumn Starbucks drink?

It's most definitely the salted caramel mocha - I had my first one and just fell in love!

4. Favourite autumn candle?

I'm not really a candle person, I'd be too scared of forgetting about it and starting a fire!
If I were to go out and buy a candle, it would be something like this Cinnamon Apple Berry from Yankee Candles or maybe something gingerbread scented!

5. Favourite autumn scarf or accessory?

My purple floral h&m scarf or my faux fur stole over my leather jacket - love!

6. Haunted house, haunted hay ride or haunted corn maze?

A haunted hay ride sounds like the least terrifying, running through a haunted house could be fun though. I'll pass on the corn maze, little bit too Jeepers Creepers for me!

7. Favourite Halloween movie?

If I'm going for a classic, it's A Nightmare on Elm Street, but if I want an updated scare I'd go for any Paranormal Activity, Insidious or The Unborn.

8. Favourite thing to eat on Halloween?

Everything sweet - I'm terrible! Anything that was left when the trick or treaters were gone was all mine.

9. What is your Halloween costume?

I'm doing a glam vampire, I was thinking about channelling Star from The Lost Boys but I doubt anyone would get the connection.

10. What is your favourite thing about Autumn?

The clothes! I'm such a summer weather person, but I just love boots, chunky knits, big coats - dark reds and khakis are my favourite colours at the moment so I love that it's all in!

You can see more my autumn fashion favourites post here!

If you want to do this tag, go for it, I tag each and every one of you!
