Boujee Bougies Queen Jam Candle

With Valentines Day on the horizon, if there is an item which screams buy me right now, it is this incredible Boujee Bougles Queen Jam Candle.
Boujee Bougles Queen Jam Candle
Being the huge fan of candles that I am, I cannot believe it has taken me so long to find this brand because it is incredible. The brand, Boujee Bougles is the brainchild of perfumer, Pia Long, and olfactory consultant Nick Gilbert, and of the fabulous Thomas Dunckley, whom you might be more familiar with under his moniker The Candy Perfume Boy to complete the team.
"The idea behind Boujee Bougies is actually the name itself. “Boujee” means ostentatious, flamboyant, ideas above your station, ritzy, glitzy, glam and luxe, whilst “Bougies” is French for candles. Put them together and what do you get? Well, as one journalist put it this week, you get “posh candles” and that’s exactly what they are: wonderfully flamboyant candles with beautifully artistic fragrances"
So, alongside the luxe comes the fun, quirky sense of humour but without being in anyway tacky, in fact it is sleek, sophisticated and absolutely blooming lovely and I need every single candle within the range - all 5 to be precise! Presented in simple, dark glass holder with bright sticker to denote which scent your candle is, in this case a jam coloured version.
Boujee Bougles Queen Jam Candle
Boujee Bougles Queen Jam Candle
With Queen Jam, before it is removed from the outer box, the scent is very very notable, think fruity and floral and if it was a colour it would be very bright - fuschia or even magenta.  Said to have been inspired by a Finnish conserve and the scent, if you close your eyes and allow the notes to work their magic brings to head the very notion of jam being cooked on the stove, bubbling away as it does, if you have ever made your own jam. 

The scent notes rose, raspberry leaf mixed with tart berries and then in the background some leafy greens creates the most wonderful scent that throws itself around your home like it owns the place without an invitation and it is just so fresh, sharp and wonderfully sweet.

These candles, priced at £55 are worth absolutely every penny, their longevity of up to 50 hours burn time is incredibly impressive, but if this is outside of your budget, you will be delighted to hear that there is a mini version of each candle priced at £25!

BeautyPie WONDERGLOSS COLLAGEN LIP OIL +

I am a member of BeautyPie and I pay a monthly subscription fee to be a member, a short while ago, I wrote a review about as to why I joined and then what I felt is the benefits of being a member. Since joining Beauty Pie, I have managed to try a range of products across their skincare, makeup and fragrance range and today I am sharing a product I bought on a whim and that whim paid off.
BeautyPie WONDERGLOSS COLLAGEN LIP OIL +
BeautyPie WONDERGLOSS COLLAGEN LIP OIL +
The BeautyPie WONDERGLOSS COLLAGEN LIP OIL + is exactly as the name states. Imported from Italy, this lip oil is designed to deliver shine, deep nourishment, a slip of colour and all without being sticky or tacky on the lips.  For me, any kind of lip product has to not be sticky or tacky, it isn't something I can get on board with, despite using numerous products which have that effect.  A Lip Oil has been one of those products people have raved about from many brands over the past few years and whilst I have tried a few of them, we have never really got along for that long, so I am glad BeautyPie and I do.

Priced at £7.34 to those who are subscribers to BeautyPie or £26 to non-members, the Wondergloss Collagen Lip Oil is available in 6 different shades:
  • Shimmereen
  • Nude Nectar
  • Jammy
  • CherryYo
  • Spicy Pink
  • Plum Naked
I have the shade Plum Naked which is a nearly there light plum shade, more cool toned than warm toned and it does impart a bit of colour when applied to the lips. As it is designed to deliver balm, shine and deep nourishment in a single swipe to the lips, it is infused with Collagen AC Micro-Vectors, antioxidant Cherry and Hibiscus oils and with it comes a hint of shimmer, from which your lips are said to look visibly plumped, moisturised and irresistibly dewy.
BeautyPie WONDERGLOSS COLLAGEN LIP OIL +
BeautyPie WONDERGLOSS COLLAGEN LIP OIL +
BeautyPie WONDERGLOSS COLLAGEN LIP OIL +
Well I can't say I have noticed that my lip looks visibly plumped, but it does keep them moisturised, though I use a lot of lip balm anyway, it is great for wearing on its own or over your favourite lipstick and it is glossy without being sticky, tacky or even icky, but there is a slight hint of vanilla scenting to it, which some might not like.  For the price, the Wondergloss Collagen Lip Oil is definitely worth trying, I would re-purchase this one again without hesitating.

If you are thinking about becoming a Beauty Pie member, then I have a referral code that gives you £10 off your first order and it gives me £10 off mine too.

L’Occitane Serum-in-Cream Youth Hand Cream

Without question, L'Occitane have the best hand creams, the Almond version I go through tube after tube after tube. The latest addition to the line up is something a little different with the Serum-in-Cream Youth Hand Cream.
L’Occitane Serum-in-Cream Youth Hand Cream
Described as being an innovative serum-in-cream formula, the Youth Hand Cream is a fusion of the nourishing benefits of shea butter (5%) and age-defying technology of the immortelle flower to diminish the visible signs of ageing on hands.  I am sure like everyone else, over the last 20 months, the over washing and sanitising of hands has taken its toll and whilst I am already obsessed with applying handcream, this has only meant I have been applying more.

With the inclusion of Shea butter which is famous for its nourishing and moisturising properties, it has Immortelle Extract and Immortelle Essential Oil which are said to be more effective than Vitamin E when it comes to protecting the skin, it is also has a high content of Omegas 9 & 6 which when they are all together, not only do they help to reduce the appearance of the visible signs of ageing but also increase the elasticity of the skin.  Then we have Hibiscus which helps to encourage skin renewal,  but as an ingredient it is usually used for its ability to help with hyperpigmentation and dead skin cells.
L’Occitane Serum-in-Cream Youth Hand Cream
L’Occitane Serum-in-Cream Youth Hand Cream
On the skin, this serum-in-cream has a slightly lighter texture than the L'Occitane hand creams but feels absolutely divine on the skin and absorbs really quickly and leaves behind a lovely light fragrance. It is worth noting that this cream is neither greasy or tacky on the skin and it boasts 97% natural origin ingredients and is housed in a 95% recycled aluminium tube.

Priced at £24 with L'Occitane, it is worth trying if your hands are in need of some TLC and I have also used it on my elbows and around my wrists which have been really dry lately and it is an absolute dream.

Emma Hardie Moringa Candle

Imagine having one of your favourite cleansing balms being turned into a candle - well okay not quite but the scent you have come to identify as being calming, relaxing and part of your favourite skincare routine. That is exactly what has happened with Emma Hardie and the Moringa Candle.
Emma Hardie Moringa Candle
Emma Hardie Moringa Candle
I have declared my adoration for Emma Hardie as a brand for many years now, I’m yet to find a cleansing balm as enjoyable and as good as this one, though a few do come a close second. For me, there is something about the scent which is both calming and relaxing whilst at the same time has the ability to just give you that spa like treatment at home time and time again. 
Immerse your senses in pure indulgence with the Emma Hardie Moringa Luxury Scented Candle. This deluxe candle fills the room with the earthy aroma of Moringa. Relaxing and tranquil, this spa-like scent helps to create a soothing and peaceful atmosphere in your home. Housed in a decorative gift box, this luxurious candle makes a perfect present for loved ones or as a personal treat for an evening of self-care.
As well as the candle, the Emma Hardie range has expanded a lot in the past year and now includes a whole selection of delightful body, bath and shower products, which I have shared already and of course stocked up on! 

This candle, as soon as you lift the lid on the box gives you that relaxation and calming vibe, it is definitely the scent of the cleansing balm in candle form only slightly more potent with the scent, something I happen to absolutely love. If you are familiar with the cleansing balm then the notes of neroli, jasmine, rose, mandarin and sweet orange are all there and better still, this luxurious candle from Emma Hardie has been created using a natural blend of biodegradable wax made from pure soybean oil, rapeseed and bee's wax.
Emma Hardie Moringa Candle
To use, the advice is to light the candle wick and let the spa-like aromas fill the room for a minimum of 2 hours and a maximum of 4 hours, this will help to ensure that the wax burns evenly. Once alight, I am so glad to say there is no black soot that often comes with candles and this is down to how the candle is made. 

At £45 this is definitely a luxury item but one that is worth every single penny!

Mindful Mornings with Glossybox

January as a month is a bit like a Monday, no one looks forward to it, it never seems to end, it is the longest month ever and once all the excitement of Christmas and the New Year have gone, it is a reminder that you need to go back to your daily routine. I will never be one of those 'New Year, New Me' people, im also not a fan of mornings especially when they are cold, dark and wet, so this months Glossybox has my attention.
Mindful Mornings with Glossybox
Described as being the Mindful Mornings box, it is packed with five products which has been specially selected for this theme.
Whether you’re someone who’s up at the crack of dawn to exercise, or you prefer a coffee cosied up in bed, January is the perfect time to reset and focus on the year ahead. And what better way to begin 2022 than with a calm and refreshed mindset…
The five products that are perfect for those slow mornings, even if you plan is to just sit under a blanker on the sofa includes a body lotion, some nail care and even a mask!

The first product from the box is the Dr Botanicals Cocoa and Coconut Superfood Facial Cleansing Bar.
Mindful Mornings with Glossybox
Mindful Mornings with Glossybox
This Cleansing Bar is infused with rich oils from coconut plus the inclusion of Glycerin, works to gently cleanse and exfoliate the skin whilst at the same time those active ingredients penetrate and revive the skin and reveal a healthy, nourished complexion.

The second product is from Naobay with their Brighten Orange Vit C Body Milk Lotion.
Mindful Mornings with Glossybox
Described as being the perfect 'pick me up' this moisturising cream is rich in Vitamin C as well as being infused with natural avocado and olive oils.  Together, these ingredients work together to improve your skin's elasticity and firmness as well as providing long-lasting hydration and because of its light orange scent, it also provides a mood lift.

The third product from this box comes from MudMasky, a brand that I have to know via beauty boxes. The product is the Vitamin A Booster Blue Clay Mask.
Mindful Mornings with Glossybox
This fragrance-free mask, which uses Bakuchiol as a natural alternative to Retinol, is formulated with a blend of flowers, fruits, and Grade 1 Clay. The clay which have been used are considered the purest and most premium available on earth. Designed to refine pores, firm, brighten, smooth and tighten the skin.

The next product from the box comes from Glow on the 5th comes Lip Dew Tinted Balm.
Mindful Mornings with Glossybox
Mindful Mornings with Glossybox
I am a huge fan of lip balms and work my way through more than I care to admit too every single year.  This product is described as being ultra moisturising and it helps to soothe and smooth dry lips and with its scent of Berry, this balm does add a slight tint to the lips when used.

The final product in this box comes is one I absolutely feels I need right now and it comes from Nails Inc. with Gel Rehab Strengthening Nail Treatment.
Mindful Mornings with Glossybox
Described as being a 10-in-1 recovery treatment, which also works as a base coat, this gel works to intensely repair dry, damaged nails in 30 minutes. The formula, which is infused with keratin rich spinach, seaweed extract, peptides, nitrocellulose and kale which work to strengthen, regenerate and hydrate nails, preventing against further breakage and damage.

I think Glossybox has made a great start to 2022 and I really like the theme of this months box and the contents, which may vary for some, work really well with the theme.

As you will all know, Glossybox is a beauty box subscription service and it costs as little as £11 per month here*. By subscribing to these boxes, it gives you the chance to get your hands on the Limited Edition boxes.

Aldi Lacura K-Beauty New Launches

Today I am sharing some new launches from Aldi's Lacura best-selling range which has been inspired by Korean Beauty.  K-Beauty is a huge area within the beauty industry that has really taken off and over the past few years, I have tried a lot of products, so I am delighted once again, to see Aldi throwing their hat into the ring with this lot.
Aldi Lacura K-Beauty New Launches
The Aldi Lacura K-Beauty inspired range of K-Beauty products features 10 different products, of which 4 are brand new to the line up and impressively, they are all priced between £1.49 up to £4.99, which could see shoppers save over £199 compared to some other brands!

Aldi’s Lacura K-Beauty Skincare full range:

  • Banana Souffle Face Cream 
  • Plum Hyaluronic Acid Serum 
  • Deep Cleaning Bubble Mask 
  • H20 Overnight Face Sleeping Mask 
  • Watermelon Gel Moisturiser
  • Pineapple Face Serum 
  • Avocado Overnight Retinol Sleeping Eye Mask 
  • Dewy Lip Balm 
First out of my box of tricks is the Lacura Deep Cleansing Bubble Mask (£1.49) and some might say it has been inspired by the GlamGlow Bubble Sheet Mask (£8).
Aldi Lacura K-Beauty New Launches
New for 2022, this Deep Cleansing Bubble Mask is infused with charcoal which helps to purify and cleanse the skin and it only needs 5 minutes of your time.  On the skin, the mask, which fit pretty well, begins to bubble almost instantly.  What I love about these masks is they don't exactly make for pretty photos but they are a lot of fun.  As it bubbles, I didn't find there was any tingling sensation at all, but when I removed the mask, there was a little excess product that I massaged into my skin.

The next product within the K-Beauty range is the Papaya Enzyme Face Scrub (£4.99). 
Aldi Lacura K-Beauty New Launches
Aldi Lacura K-Beauty New Launches
This scrub, which is inspired by a Glow Recipe product is designed to remove impurities and help improve the appearance and texture of the skin due to its dual exfoliation properties, physical Cellulose and added papaya enzymes.   On this skin, I had expected this scrub to be overly abrasive, but surprisingly it isn't, but if you apply a little pressure you can feel it working against the skin. 

If you skin is in need of some hydration, then the new Lacura Plum Hyaluronic Acid Serum (£4.99) might be just the product you need.
Aldi Lacura K-Beauty New Launches
This serum is formulated with three antioxidant-rich plum extracts and is enriched with Hyaluronic Acid and Vitamin B5. On the skin it is incredibly lightweight and absorbs incredibly quickly on contact with the skin. Texture wise, I really like how this feels, it is a watery-gel substance that is thick enough to not be runny, but not too thick it just lingers on the skin.  You might also notice that it is inspired by Glow Recipe and their Plum Plump Hyaluronic Serum (£37) 

The next product is one I really like and it is the Banana Souffle Face Cream (£4.99) and again, if your skin needs a little extra TLC, then this cream is the one to try. Again, it has been inspired by Glow Recipe Banana Soufflé Moisture Cream (£36).

Designed to help with hydration, thanks to the inclusion of Squalene, this lightweight cream works to protect your skin’s moisture barrier and when needed, it helps with the healing of dry skin. Other ingredients include  turmeric and Centella Asiatica which host antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and moisturising properties.  There is, as you might expect a very light scent of banana with this cream which I really like.

The next product is one I have shared previously on my blog.  The H2Overnight Face Sleeping Mask (£4.99), which you could say has been inspired by Laneige and their Water Sleeping Mask (£26).

This Sleeping Mask is a lightweight gel mask formulated with Aloe Barbadensis Lead Juice, Rose Centifolia Flower Extract and Sodium Hyaluronate to improve the appearance of tired looking skin overnight.

The final product within my little collection is an eye cream. For me, an eye cream is an essential item and I use mine both morning and evening as part of my routine. From the Aldi Lacura range we have the Avocado Bright eyes Overnight Retinol Sleeping Mask (£4.49).  Again, this product is inspired by Glow Recipe and their Avocado Melt Retinol Eye Sleeping Mask (£41)

This Eye Sleep Mask is described as being a special something to target dark, tired and puffy eyes, well that is me every single morning because my sleep pattern is confused and a tad disturbed and has been for some time. This product is infused with coffee seed extract, avocado oil, and as the name suggests retinol, these ingredients come together to work to banish dark circles, tighten the skin under the eye, to leave you looking bright eyed and bushy tailed. As I am just finishing an eye cream, this is one I am yet to try, so I will update this post in a few months time with how it has gone.

As you can see, there is a huge difference in price between the offerings from the Aldi Lacura K-Beauty range and other brands.  As soon as these products come into stock, they sell out really quickly, so if you see them and want to try them, get them whist you can.  In my local store, all 10 products are on sale but in very limited numbers.
