Lost in Scent: Soy Wax Vegan Candles

Lost in Scent had been on my radar for a while and when they offered a free travel size candle with a full size purchase I jumped in. Look at that exquisite packaging! I also loved the personal handwritten note (it's the little things..) The range is hand crafted with love by founders, Darrell and Andy who love travelling to far flung places and the candle scents are inspired by their travels. I also love the cards which give suggestions of music/films to inspire you while your candle is burning!

For my full size (180g) I chose Big Sur which is from the Californian range and is a blend of bergamot, sage and sea salt which was created to conjure up memories of driving Route 1 taking them back to where the ocean meets the forest.

I've found the candles burn very, very evenly and the scent is fairly light with a slight seashore/herbal mix (although gorgeous!) I'm thinking my next buy will be LA Moonlight, a mix of Gardenia, Leather & Tuberose.

I actually gifted Birdsong Travel Candle, but it's scented with Freesia, Rose and Pear and is the perfect candle for burning in Spring & Summer - think lush florals, fruits and green notes.

I love the packaging and the fact that they give a portion of profits to charity. I'll definitely be back to pick up MORE. 

Latest Buys

I've been picking up a few bits here and there over the last few weeks:

I bought Beauty Shortlist Award winning, 79 Lux Ultra Nourishing Body Balm when Cult's Goody Bag was on offer recently. It had literally just arrived and I found out it had won an award. It's really luxurious and beautiful. A review will come.

I couldn't resist Natural Wellness Box The Sleep Collection - see my review HERE. I love that I'll use everything in it.

I love candles and these tealight samples (£1 each) are gorgeous (and such a great idea!) from Hopping Hare Candles. Of course I now want all the candles full size.

It was great to meet founder Sarah at Leith Market recently. I had to pick up a pot of the seriously gorgeous Free From Skincare Awards Shortlisted 2018 Amaranthine Body Creme which is a deliciously scented neroli and sweet orange butter formulated with skin loving ingredients including Sea Buckthorn and Shea Butter. Expect a full review soon (it's lush).

Oh squeals, what beautiful packaging and branding. It's great to finally try Lost in Scent, Vegan and Soy Wax candles. 

I loved Cocorosa Beauty's Egyptian Neroli Cleansing Oil which I received in my Skin Organics Clean Beauty Box last month and so I rushed over to buy full size. Inside the package were exquisite scented rose petals which I could smell through the box. I was very grateful to receive the lovely extras too. Again, a review will follow.
