Day 3: Chistmassy Candles

 I'm such a stereotypical white girl/blogger with my candles and Starbucks!

But hey, I love them. My current favourite Christmassy ones are Ambi Pur Vanilla Treat, Glade spiced pomegranate and Yankee Candles Christmas Cookies. I'm yet to try my two new Yankee Candles which are Merry Berry and Christmas Treats though. I'm not gonna lie, I mainly wrote this post cus I like pretty pictures of candles >.<

Does anybody else see a theme developing of vanilla and berry?

My Fall Essentials

Rather than doing a September favourites post I decided to do a fall favourites/essentials type post because Fall is quite possibly my favourite season, but I kinda say that about every season except Spring to be honest.

Except for my obvious essentials like big cosy sweaters, mug fulls of hot chocolate/coffee and new boots, three very important things to me during Fall are of course candles, dark lipsticks and even darker nails.

My darkest lipstick (Is it a lipstick? I'm never sure.) is my Apocalips in Eclipse which I adore and wear sooo often in the autumn/winter months. The Bourjois Colour Boost is a rather new addition to my collection but one that I am again loving! Its a strong, long lasting, glossy formula needing minimal touch ups.

And two of my favourite autumn candles (the Sugar and Spice one from Tesco's is actually my favourite candle ever, even beating my yankee candles.) help make my bedroom smell like Autumn even if it isnt. The left one is from Tesco and smells delicious and the right one is a Glade Vanilla one which smells just like vanilla fudge and I loveeeeeee it.

And finally the two nail colours I have been swapping between over the last 3 weeks are Barry M Matte nail paint in Crush and a grey BeautyUK one that doesn't seem to have a name. Being the rebellious child that I am I have taken to painting my nails in my free periods at school :0 which inevitably means I end up with at least three dreadfully smudged. 

So there we go, a round up of a few of my autumn favourites, tell me yours so I can have a look...

Easy Decorated Candle

 Easy.  Fast. Beautiful.

What you will need:

Tissue paper

Permanent Marker

Paper

Hair-dryer

Candle

1.Using a permanent marker draw your design onto tissue paper but put a piece of paper underneath to ensure it doesn't mark your surface.

2.Position the design as required onto the candle.

3. Wrap a piece of wax paper that is bigger than the candle around it.

4. Use a hair-dryer to heat up the design 

5. It is done when you can see it clearly through the wax paper

Finished!
