Wish List: Wanted For Summer

There are a few luxuries I've spotted recently that I'd love to get my hands on this Summer, so I've included a few in a somewhat small wish list that I thought I'd post for today.

1. Large Yankee Candle "Clean Cotton" - £14.99
This is one of my favourite scents from Yankee Candle and I'd love to own the large version of it. I love the 'fresh' smell, which would be lovely to have in my room. The smell of the washing drying outside is a scent that I love and it has a special 'Summer' feel about it, ahh!

2. L'Oréal Nude Magique Blur Cream - £9.99
I've seen quite a few bloggers rave about this product recently and if you've been reading my posts, you'll know that I've swapped my foundation for a much lighter coverage; BB cream! I've heard that this could even be as good as Benefit's Big Easy (which is the cheaper alternative I've been looking for!)

3. The Body Shop "White Musk" Eau De Parfum - £13.00
I asked my friend the other day what perfume she was wearing because I loved it! She said it was this one, so we went into The Body Shop and had a look round the different fragrances. The range of fruity, floral perfumes that are lined up on the shelves makes it nearly impossible to choose just one. I think I'll be buying a few of these very soon (or ask for them for my birthday hehe!)

4. Large Yankee Candle "Pink Sands" - £19.49
Another Yankee Candle! This one smells so sweet and has a 'beachy' smell about it, which is why it's in my Summer wish list! I only ever see Yankee Candles now and again (usually in House Of Fraser or little boutique-type shops!) This would make the perfect gift for a friend's birthday if it's in the middle of Summer!

What's on your Summer wish list?

Yankee Candle Newbie

You may have read my review of the Skittles Strawberry Scented Candle from a couple of weeks ago and shortly after I posted it, somebody recommended that I try the ever-so popular Yankee Candle, so I thought I would give them a go! As I'm a newbie, I thought I would order a few samplers first to find a scent that I like, as the larger candles are more expensive.

I chose to buy:

• Fresh Cut Roses
• Loves Me, Loves Me Not
• Coastal Waters

The reason I chose these three candles is because the scents bring back fond memories of the Summer. Freshly cut flowers and the smell of the coast remind me of being on holiday and I'd much rather close my eyes and imagine I'm lying in the sun than walking outside in the rain, being hit by gusts of wind whilst my brolly turns inside out (very embarrassing when you're on your own, walking past a crowd of people on the street!)

Anyway, I can't wait to light these candles as the smell is exactly how I imagined it would be! I'll definitely be ordering some larger ones when these have burnt down!

What's your favourite Yankee Candle? Any recommendations? :-)
