VANILLA BEAN CANDLE


THE TREASURY OF CANDLES!
-
Vanilla Bean Scented 
+
 Jewellery Hidden Inside!

Time to get your romance on - it's Valentine's Day tomorrow!! If you've been following my Instagram
you may have noticed my love theme going on over there giving you a few ideas to get your prepped
and ready for the day of love. 

Today I am just bursting to tell you all about this romantic aromatic glorious soy wax scented candle 
which is packaged like luxury in this sturdy black box presented complete with an organza coloured 
ribbon and  neat little bow on the top. There are 11 different scents to choose from at The Treasury Of
 Candles and each is presented with a different coloured ribbon. 

Scents available are - Vanilla Bean / French Pear / Maple Syrup & Pumpkin Waffle / Lemon Vanilla
Cupcake / Lychee & Black Tea / Spiced Fruits / Blueberry Muffin / Warm Woods & Bonfire Nights /
Clean Cotton & Honeysuckle / Exotic Lychee / Chocolate Orange Truffle.


As I am a bit of a vanilla nut, of course I was drawn to choose the Vanilla Bean scented candle and my
goodness does it smell like a vanilla lovers dream!

Housed in a tall white recyclable glass with shiny gold lid. It really is a beauty! These Treasury candles
 have a super long burn time of up to 80 hours! That's at least 8 bubble baths long! ;)


Now for the fun part! What makes this candle so unique is that there is a hidden treasure inside!
In each candle there is a ring valued from between $25 - $7,500! 

Impatient as anything I lit my candle and waited for what seemed like forever until I finally saw 
something silver poking up from underneath the melted wax. Ok, so I only wait about an hour until I
saw something, grabbed my tweezers and started tugging and digging to get it out!


Low and behold as you can see in the image below, the ring is securely wrapped inside a snap tight 
clear plastic bag and then wrapped agin in some foil.

The tag on my ring says it is a size 7 which I guess is the average size for most people. However it is a
bit big for me and fits most comfortably on my pointer finger next to my thumb. 

It is a lovely ring with 5 emerald green gems set in silver and according to The Treasuring Of
Candles website is valued at $79!


So if you're interested in treating yourself, a friend or someone you love this Valentine's Day why not 
get them something a little different, unique, smells great creates a romantic atmosphere and well -
Jewellery!

 Each candle is $59.95 each with FREE SHIPPING!

Also available which you can purchase directly from their website is their handy little gold plated 
Candle Snuffer and Wick Trimmer at $24.95 each.

Have you tried these types of candles before?
What are your thoughts on finding a hidden treasure inside?

GIFTS FOR TEENS


CHRISTMAS GIFT GUIDE

Gifts For The Teen Girl!

Revo Twist Lip Balm
These mini stocking fillers are sure to please! With four delicious flavours to choose from or collect,
everyone is going to be wanting one of these in their stockings ready for school next year!

These balms are super hydrating with natural oils and ingredients like Vitamin E, Aloe and
antioxidants. They are not just a pretty face!

Other flavours you can try include -
Watermelon
Cherry
Coconut

Available to purchase from Chemcorp online for current RRP $4.99 each.

Real Techniques Miracle Makeup Sponge Gift Set
Call me old but when I was a teen, I barely every wore makeup! Ok, so I did experiment with
mascara, lip gloss, blue eye shadow and glitter. But that's about as far as it went and never did I
ever pack it on like you see teenagers do as the complete norm these days. Don't get me wrong I
really don't have a problem with this evolution. I love makeup and have always seen it as a fun way
of expressing one's creativity. I just wonder how it's gonna go down when my 5yr old suddenly turns
13 and is sporting sexy red lipstick, heavy foundation she doesn't need and fake lashes.... We will see!

ANYWAY, these sponges are a great starting point and a good staple to gift your teen buddies, as
they're a fantastic stash to have on hand for the makeup beginner as you can easily perfect and master
all kinds of tips and tricks to get your makeup on point and looking neat and fresh! Find out more in
my full review here!

Available to purchase from Priceline for current RRP $49.99

Eco Tools Boho Luxe Duo Brush Set
Like sponges, makeup brushes are also very handy for makeup beginners to have because we pretty
much all own a set or two and if your beauty loving friend, sister, daughter, niece, etc doesn't own her
own set yet, then these are a great first set to get!

As you can see there is a handy little pouch to store them in. You get three duel ended brushes so you
have all you need for your everyday kit! EcoTools are a fantastic brand I truly recommend. You can


Oribe Dry Texturising Spray & Oribe Wave and Shine Spray
Give them a head start for the new school year with these cute minis from Oribe. It will have any
teen's unruly hair under control in just a few minutes, which is all most of them can manage that
early!

These are perfect 'throw in your bag' size for touch ups throughout the day. They also smell great and
are a pro at taming those pesky fly away in this Summer heat!

The Dry Texturising Spray will absorb all of that teenage excess hair oil and add dimension to flat
lifeless hair. The Wave and Shine spray pretty much speaks for itself, smoothing waves into silky
curves.

Shop the Oribe haircare range online here!

Body Fantasies Signature Japanese Cherry Blossom Body Spray
Perfumes seem to always be a popular gift at Christmas time however can be quite costly and at times
inappropriate for some young teens. Body sprays are a much more budget friendly and age
appropriate option.  ($7.99 each!)

These Body Fantasies come in a range of scents and make for the perfect size
stocking stuffers or to add to beauty gift baskets!

Other scents in the range include -
Vanilla
Twilight Mist
Kissing In The Rain
Sweet Pea
Pink Vanilla Kiss Fantasy

Available to purchase from Chemcorp online for current RRP $7.99 each.

VS Sassoon Evoke Hair Dryer or Straightener
Do you know a teen growing up in the blink of an eye and needs their own set of hair tools so they
stop borrowing yours? This pink set is super girlie and cute! Not only that VS Sassoon make very
good quality dryers and straighteners which last for years and always come with a decent warranty.

To find out more be sure to check out my full review on this hair care set here!

This is my own personal set I use pretty much daily and hasn't failed me yet! The storage pouch it
comes with is also very handy to store the straightener in for traveling and just general storage.

50% OFF HAIR


PRICELINE 50% OFF HAIR SALE!

17 - 18 AUGUST!

http://www.priceline.com.au
- - -

Priceline is at it again with one of their quick 2 day sales and this time it's all about hair.
Time to stock up on all of your haircare products, hair brushes and hair accessories!

I feel like I blog and make videos quite a bit to do with hair accessories, hair styles and hair tools
so here I am with what I would recommend picking up at the sale if you're keen to tell Priceline to
"JUST SHUT UP & TAKE MY MONEY!"

I have been using this on and off between this and my Evoke straightener over the past couple of
months trying to work out which I prefer. At the moment this one in winning the battle! It just seems
to make my hair that little bit more straight and smooth faster. It is a little bit fiddly with the whole
steam function where you have the option of putting water into it to add the steam factor, but it seems
worth while and it's just a bit fun as well. Watch my how to use/review video here!

L'Oreal Paris Elvive Extraordinary Oil Oil-in-Cream
Ever since discovering the first classic iconic L'Oreal Extraordinary Oil a few years ago (Watch full
review video here!) when it comes to using hair oils in my hair I have never looked back! Hair oils
I find just work that much better, especially for dry and damaged hair like my own.
This product is made up of a mix of six different flower oils making the scent and thus your hair
smelling ah-maaazing! Can be used on both wet or dry hair to tame frizz, smooth and nourish
hair deeply improving it's condition more and more with continued use.

This has been my go-to for everyday and lazy days to just throw my hair up and out of my face and
out of the way! During Summer this was especially my best friend, giving me an effortless style and
relaxed look without being too scruffy. Think more elegant, soft ballerina messy bun. To get the look
be sure to watch my hair tutorial video right here for how to get the look!

L'Oreal Paris Elvive Smooth Intense Heat Protect Cream
I have been pretty slack over the past few years and when I ran out of my old heat protectant spray I
just never got around to purchasing a new one. Boy has my hair paid the price for my negligence!
Luckily I was gifted this product at a recent blogger event and have been using it religiously every
time I straighten and blow dry my hair! Not only does this do the obvious in protecting your hair
from heat up to 230 degrees. It also helps to smooth your hair and keeping it that way for longer.
I can definitely see a huge difference since using this, I am now kicking my butt for not using this
sooner!

Having slowly made the tricky transition from deep dark brunette to medium/light blonde over the
past year or so I have tried quite a few different tone correcting products which promise to strip the
brassy and horrible yellow tones. I picked up this duo in a recent Beautorium event over on the
website Beautyheaven and am so glad that I did! These are by FAR the BEST blonde toning
products I have ever used! I can see a difference after just one wash! If you want to maintain your
best blonde then I highly recommend picking these up in the sale. I'm going to!

Since I have almost used up my bottle of the Fudge shampoo mentioned above, I have to again give
thanks to Beautyheaven for giving me the opportunity to try something new to maintain my best
blonde possible with this product by ProVoke. So far so good! I really REALLY need to do my roots
though! (If you have seen some of my recent videos you would probably have noticed!) I have used
this a couple of times already and the results have been just as good as the Fudge. I will be DIY-ing
my roots sometime over the next few days so I will see how it goes on freshly bleached hair.

L'Oreal Paris Elvive Extraordinary Oil Leave In Treatment
Of course all hair needs a little extra TLC from time to time, especially when you are constantly
using heat and product after product on it on a daily basis. My hair has become quite dry from the
lightening so I have been using a lot of hair oils and treatments to pack the moisture and nourishment
back in. I have been using this Extraordinary Oil Treatment 1-2 times per week over the past six
weeks and can definitely notice the change! 

Using this in my shower along with the L'Oreal product mentioned above is this 3 Minute Miracle
treatment. Again I used this 1-2 times per week and have been using it for a few months now.
The overall look and feel of my hair has really changed for the better. My hair is almost back it it's
old pre-lightened healthy self because of this. It is not just a pretty bottle, it is also pretty, no - really,
really good!

L'Oreal Paris Elvive Total Repair 5 Cica Cream
This product is great because it can be used on either wet or dry hair which means I never have to
think about it when I go to apply it. I love that because, well who really has time for that?
This is great to repairing the hair's damage like split ends and breakage. It also protects the hair from
the everyday elements. Don't be fooled by the plain white cream, it is packed full of something called
Cicamide which can instantly soak into each hair strand giving you immediate results!

PRICELINE MAKEUP SALE


~  PRICELINE  ~
2 Day
40% Makeup Sale!



By now every beauty lover on and off the land of social media knows by now that Priceline is 
having another one of their annual 40% makeup sales this week beginning tomorrow!

Of course this always seems to happen around the time when I am completely strapped for cash
and ahem... may have already had a bit of a spending spree over the past couple of weekends so I
really cannot justify heading to this very temping sale, even if it is at the top of my guilty pleasure list!

Anyhow, whenever any kind of sale comes along I like a lot of other people tend to flock to Google,
 Youtube videos or blogs for ideas, recommendations and inspiration on what to put on their
shopping lists. So here is what I would get if I were to go on a splurge as well as products I already
have or have tried which I think are worth picking up to try! Hope it's helpful lucky ducks! ;)

I Want!
I Recommend!
Be quick! Wednesday 18th & Thursday 19th November only!

Will you be doing any shopping at this sale?

MOTHERS DAY GIFT GUIDE


~  MOTHER'S DAY  ~

GIFT GUIDE

2015!


1.) Estee Lauder Gift Bag!
I recommend picking up her favourite perfume and if it happens to be one by Estee Lauder you can
pick up this special Mother's Day gift bag for just $75 with any fragrance purchase! Contents of the
bag equal more than $160!

2.) Forever New Leopard Print Scarf!
With the weather becoming increasinly chilly of late, why not pick her up a fashionable scarf like
this one. I hear animal print is still popular with the grown ups! ;)

3.) Let's Kiss & Make-Up Cosmetic Bag!
There are endless different designs of make-up bags you can pick up just about anywhere really
cheap. If you know your mum well or even if you don't take a quick peek into her stash and pick up
a few of her regulars as back ups for her and pop them into a brand new stylish make-up bag for her!

4.) Peter Alexander Dressing Gown!
It's always nice to invest in a new dressing gown every few years. Show mum how much you
appreciate her by getting her a glam one like this from Peter Alexander which is also super comfy
and handy with the large pockets for phones and midnight snacks! ;)

5.) Peter Alexander Fancy Bow Couture Slippers!
 Cute slippers are a must have to wear around the house and Peter Alexander have a super adorable
range to choose from. Make her feel a bit spesh by picking up a glam pair like these with embelished
bows!

6.) Hudson Park Bed Sheets!
There is nothing like new clean fresh sheets on the bed, am I right ladies?! How many years has
your mum been sleeping on the same set of worn out sheets? Do her a favour and make her bed with
a new set if you can sneak in to do it without her knowing. Then wait for her to thank you the next
day after she's discovered and slept in them the night before!

7.) Moeve Bath Towels!
I find bath towels ware out quickly. Refresh you mum's linen cuboard with some fresh new good
quality bath towel sets and throw away the old ones. I bet she'll be delighted when she opens up the
linen doors to find brand new, neatly folded, new fresh towels all neatly folden and laid out ready for
her to use! Surprise! :)

8.) Royal Albert Friendship Tea Caddy!
 How fancy is this feminine tea storage pot from Royal Albert? Treat mum to one of these and fill
it with her favourite tea bags or coffee pods. If she's not into either of those, her fav candy is a sure
winner!

9.) D.L & Co Soy Candle in Glass Vessel!
Candles are always a nice treat! Spash out one a fancy one for her which matches in with her
style and decor. Just make sure it's in a scent she loves and won't tire of!

10.) Royal Albert Friendship Tea Cup & Saucer!
Almost all mum's like to either unwind with a nice hot cup of tea or coffee. Treat her to one of
these ulta precious Royal Albert sets to make her feel like a queen.

11.) Mes Homewares Mother Of Pearl Photo Frame!
Like with the fancy candle, if you're going to get her a photo frame with a happy snap of you
both inside. Make sure to match if to her taste, colour scheme and decor. She is sure to love it!

12.) Kaz Horizon Blue Cushion!
You can never have too many cushions! Add a couple to her couch or bed to her taste. Textures
and different shapes are fun for the bed and fun colours are an affordable fun way to dress up a tired
or outdated couch!

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

MAX FACTOR


~ MAX FACTOR ~


Wild Eyeshadow Pencil

In Fierce Lime!

Also available in...
Caramel Rage, Untamed Pink, Savage Silver,
Ferocious White, Bold Sapphire, Brazen Gold & Blue Ice Fury.
Max factor is a brand that has been around for as long as I can remember
 and I feel like it doesn't get enough recognition that it deserves.
I have been wearing Max Factor makeup for more than 10 years
and I am always amazed and impressed at how innovative and clever
they are when it comes to new and exciting products they
 release to the beauty loving public.
I have had a great experience with my Wild Shadow Pencil and cannot flaw it!
It applies smoothly and with vibrant pigmentation without smudging or
having to pull at my eye to get it to blend and get an even distribution.
This is such a versatile product because it can be used as an eye shadow,
 gel liner and I even find it great to wear as a primer for eye shadow to
 give your desired shade an even brifghter and more definite colour.
It also helps to keep your shadow in place all day & night weather
wearing it on it's own or with a powder shadow on top.
Definitely an investment worth making to help build your make
up collection with quality, worthwhile products.
Up there with the best!
