Lip Treatments -Yankee Candles - Sweet Strawberry Lip Balm With SPF 15
LightPink 12/8/2011 7:42:00 PM
so many to choose from when I ordered from Yankee Candle's Online website that it was tough to pick only one for $3.99 but now I plan to collect all! The choices at the time were Sweet Strawberry(The essence of perfectly ripe strawberries sprinkled with sugar) which was what I bought and sold out first. The other options were Juicy Watermelon which as of today is low stock, Root Beer Float which was second to be sold out, Spiced Pumpkin which was still available for sale as of today, and Vanilla Cupcake which sold out after Root Beer Float. Still available today on their website was a Holiday Favorites 4-Pack which I really want to buy next. The 4-pack came with Vanilla Lime, Christmas Cookie,Sweet Strawberry, and Vanilla Cupcake. Rated SPF 15, Yankee Candle Lip Balm is made with beeswax, organic extra virgin olive oil, organic hemp seed oil, vitamin E and rosemary. Nourishes and moisturizes to help make lips softer and smoother. This is really cute too since it resembles the Yankee Candle Large Jar Candle which is one of my favorite Candle's to buy.

Candles -Yankee Candles - Tropical Fruit
LightPink 11/28/2011 3:04:00 PM
Tropical Fruit is very nice! Make every day a tropical vacation! Yankee Candle describes Tropical Fruit as A luscious mix of sunny sweet, fresh-picked mangos and bananas with an irresistible touch of jasmine. This fragrance is really nice and to me is like more of a Fruit punch with a hint of mangos along with a light floral jasmine but it is really a nice blend. I had it burning for 8 hours yesterday and it was really good! I am really happy I was able to find it on the Yankee Candle site online during the recent sale. Tropical Fruit first arrived in April 2009 along with Kiwi Berries, Pomegranate Fruit, and Island Guava. I think as of now only Kiwi Berries is still offered year round which means it most likely was the most popular. I don't see Tropical Fruit available on the site as of today even though I ordered two large jar candles a few weeks ago so it must of been available in very limited numbers. If you see this one available then try it out! I always burn my candles for at least 3 hours and trim the wick before I light it each time. Always have a Yankee Candle Illuma-Lid ! A new thing I started doing with my candles is when the candle is almost burned up with about 1/2 " remains I put in in the freezer for like 5 minutes or so then the frozen wax pops out easily from the glass jar. After the frozen wax cools down to room temp I cut it up and melt it in the yankee candle electric tart warmer! The other thing I do with the leftover 1/2" of wax is melt the jar in a candle warmer then pour the wax into a small glass votive to make a new candle! I did have to go to a craft store to buy the metal wick clips in a pack of 12. Also had to buy 50 yards of candle wick.

Candles -Yankee Candles - Holiday Bayberry
LightPink 11/14/2011 7:55:00 PM
Holiday Bayberry smells like a Beautiful, Fancy, and Expensive Elegant Christmas! Yankee Candle describes this as...Pine, fir, and laurel are softened with the clean scent of bayberry, frankincense, and myrrh. I first smelled this from the scented catalog I received in the mail and I was really impressed and bought a Large Jar from Yankee Candle Online. I am hoping this candle will bring me and my boyfriend good luck, good health, and much wealth since the Taper Candles are known for that then maybe the Large Jar can too! I always burn my candles for at least 3 hours and trim the wick before I light it each time. Always have a Yankee Candle Illuma-Lid ! Yankee Candle sells Natural Bayberry Taper Candles that are said to bring good luck, good health, and much wealth. First made by early colonists who boiled real bayberries to get the wax, bayberry candles are considered by many to be the original scented candles in America. Because they were difficult and expensive to make, they were highly prized and reserved for special occasions. Tradition holds that when one receives a bayberry candle as a gift from a friend, then burns the candle on Christmas Eve or New Year's Eve (allowing candle to burn itself out), they will receive good luck, good health, and much wealth. That translates into the popular saying that "burning a bayberry candle from tip to socket puts luck in the home and gold in the pocket." So Hopefully The Large Jar will bring some good luck, good health, and much wealth ! I am very Happy with this purchase. I can't wait to burn this in December and January.

Candles -Yankee Candles - Lavender Housewarmer
LightPink 11/13/2011 8:05:00 PM
Another of My Favorites! Update: January 2012! This candle is back as a spring treasure limited time only! Very Happy :) Very Pretty and Relaxing. Perfect to burn for a few hours before going to sleep. This Medium jar of Lavender was found at a Yankee Candle Outlet. It was sold in a box set of two medium jars. One Lavender and the other Eucalyptus. Burning both together at the same time is a very relaxing fragrance to smell if you are feeling stressed out and need a more stronger fragrance blend. I like all the other Lavender fragrances Yankee Candle creates. Lavender Vanilla is really pretty and a calming fragrance for night. Lemon Lavender is really fresh,clean, and energizing daytime fragrance. Even though this may have been a fragrance from the past since the label is a little different then what the current ones look like. The Label is still pretty but you can tell it is from the past. This Candle burned beautifully! Melted perfectly,fragrances perfectly , and I was very happy with this purchase from the Outlet and would highly recommend if you have the chance to go to a Yankee Candle outlet it is a really nice shopping experience! I always burn my candles for at least 3 hours and trim the wick before I light it each time. Always have a Yankee Candle Illuma-Lid !

Candles -Yankee Candles - Early Sunrise
LightPink 11/13/2011 4:12:00 PM
I have the Large Jar of this and I had it going for 8 hours on the first day burn! Very Perfect huge Wax pool! I always burn my candles for at least 3 hours and trim the wick before I light it each time. Always have a Yankee Candle Illuma-Lid ! This is a light fragrance but I actually like that effect with this fragrance. It's a very nice morning scent and daytime fragrance. Also very nice to have when your studying or reading. It's got a Citrus note or two to put you in a energizing and positive mood. It is light fragrance for a Large Room or for any big room but the fragrance does appear just fine. I left the room many times throughout the day and every time I entered the room the fragrance was noticeable. Even in the same room for an hour or more I could smell it just fine when the air conditioner blew some air through the ceiling vent or turning my ceiling fan on and off to move the fragrance around in the air. The Lemon is really soft maybe even blended with a little orange or citrus fruit and at one moment I thought I could smell Jasmine Tea and even maybe a herbal tea with a little honey. A light tangerine was noticeable too. I also have this in the tarts and next time I will melt this tart fragrance And burn my large jar to see what the fragrance is like in a more powerful way. I am curious to buy the Large Tumbler with 2 wicks just to see what it's like. I like this fragrance too much so a 2 wick large candle would just burn way too fast and the wax pool is pretty much just as big as the large jar So most likely just buy a large jar again. Early Sunrise is described by Yankee as A new day dawns crisp and fresh in this clean lemony citrus scent with hints of ginger and tea. I like this fragrance alot! I think it would be cool if they could create a Tea fragrance collection in the future. Floral green teas, fruity green teas, citrus green teas, mint green tea maybe even a red tea with vanilla, red tea with fruit. A Black tea with fruit. A white tea with fruit, Herbal tea with fruit... All should have a little honey too! That would be an amazing collection!

Candles -Yankee Candles - Fruit Salad
LightPink 11/11/2011 5:07:00 PM
This review is for the Tart Wax that you melt in the Yankee Candle electric tart warmers. I LOVE this fragrance and I can't believe I never bought a Larger Jar of this! I even remember when This fragrance made the cover of the Yankee Candle Catalog a couple years ago. It was a really Cool looking Photo for the cover page! As this was melting this morning I really almost thought I could smell Clementines as one of the fragrance notes! I am wishing that Yankee candle creates a 100 % Clementine fragrance! I think I was smelling tangerine though...but whatever citrus fragrance it is very pretty! I like it very much and it really is a fragrance that can put you in a good mood. A very Nice morning fragrance for sure. About This Fragrance It's a festive summer party with this bright, fun mix of juicy, sun-rich melons, berries and citrus.

Candles -Yankee Candles - Eucalyptus
LightPink 11/11/2011 4:49:00 PM
This Fragrance was first released in 1986! A clean and bracing scent to awaken the senses. This Fragrance is a Nice one if your stressed, have a cold, or just want it exclusively for a bathroom fragrance. I don't mind this fragrance. I have a medium jar and that is very strong!! I also have a few tarts of this fragrance also for my Yankee candle electric tart warmer. I prefer to burn Eucalyptus at the same time with the medium jar of Lavender by Yankee Candle. ( I wish they would make another New Lavender fragrance to add to all the other Pretty Lavender fragrances Yankee Creates) Sometimes I burn Eucalyptus alone but ever since I started burning it with the Lavender I prefer it with Lavender for a really relaxing fragrance. I also think it pairs well with certain fragrance tarts too. Lemon Lavender and Lavender Vanilla is a nice combo too. I always burn my candles for at least 3 hours and trim the wick before I light it each time. Always have a Yankee Candle Illuma-Lid ! Yankee Candle Eucalyptus does not smell like the 100% Pure Eucalyptus Oil I buy from the natural health food store which I use to make my own homemade Eucalyptus scented candles. Try this fragrance in a tart to see if you like it.

Mascara -L'Oreal - Voluminous Million Lashes
LightPink 11/11/2011 4:27:00 PM
This mascara is much better then that Maybelline volum express the falsies mascara. I had to throw away the recently bought Maybelline mascara and bought this L 'Oreal mascara this week. This looks pretty good. I will most likely buy Boots Mascara the next time I am shopping at Target and stock up. If I am in a rush to buy mascara then I would buy this L'Oreal one again since it's sold everywhere and easy to find unlike My favorite Boots Mascara which is only found at Target and is always Sold Out. The only thing is this is a little difficult to remove. I actually had to use 2 make up remover wipes but I did apply many coats so I didn't use a light apply to begin with. For now on I will apply a little less and hopefully that won't be too hard to remove.

Clothes -Yankee Candles - Country Lemonade
LightPink 11/11/2011 4:11:00 PM
I actually really like all the lemon fragrances that Yankee Candle creates. I have liked and tried Sparkling Lemon , Lemon Lavender, and Cherry Lemonade. I'm looking forward to the New Meyer Lemon for 2012! Country Lemonade was a new fragrance from the spring 2011 collection. The perfect summer refresher with its bright lemony aroma and just the right tough of sweetness. This smells soo real! and will make your mouth water! I first bought a medium jar of this and It was my top favorite to burn in the kitchen every day over the summer! It was the perfect fragrance to have in your kitchen and really put you in the mood for some cold homemade lemonade! I am really looking forward to the new Lemon fragrance that will be released soon for the new spring 2012 collection. Meyer Lemon is New for 2012! This time I plan to splurge and buy a large size candle and some extra Tarts for my Yankee Candle Electric tart warmer. I always burn my candles for at least 3 hours and trim the wick before I light it each time. Always have a Yankee Candle Illuma-Lid ! A new thing I started doing with my candles is when the candle is almost burned up with about 1/2 " remains I put in in the freezer for like 5 minutes or so then the frozen wax pops out easily from the glass jar. After the frozen wax cools down to room temp I cut it up and melt it in the yankee candle electric tart warmer!

Candles -Yankee Candles - Moonlight Harvest
LightPink 11/6/2011 7:26:00 PM
Moonlight Harvest is a very mysterious fragrance. A evening harvest fragrance from Yankee Candle. This beautiful Yankee fragrance was inspired by relaxing autumn evenings, with warm notes of pumpkin pie and winter spices floating from the kitchen window on a cool autumn evening. This dark purple candle jar contains a cool and mysterious fragrance that combines fresh evening air with pumpkin pie and warming autumn spices. Nice picture on the label. I remember seeing the harvest full moon a month or so ago. very cool. Pretty sure it was released in August of 2009. It is very enjoyable for the Fall season. Hopefully I will burn this all up quickly for the month of November. I have the medium size jar and today I have been burning it for at least 4 hours, there is a very nice and large pool of wax. would love to try the Yankee candle tart in this fragrance also for my Yankee candle electric tart warmer. I always burn my candles for at least 3 hours and trim the wick before I light it each time. Always have a Illuma-Lid ! A new thing I started doing with my candles is when the candle is almost burned up with about 1/2 " remains I put in in the freezer for like 5 minutes or so then the frozen wax pops out easily from the glass jar.

buttery rich, vanilla scented, holiday sugar cookies. yummy! I have this melting in my Yankee candle electric tart warmer and I like it so much that I would love to add a large two wick tumbler and/or Large jar to my candle collection. This is perfect for when your craving cookies and you don't want to eat one to waste calories. Just be careful if you have cookies around because you may feel hungry! But as long as you don't have cookies to snack on then this candle will solve your cravings!

Mascara -Maybelline - Volum' Express The Falsies
LightPink 10/17/2011 5:51:00 PM
Not My Favorite. I have been wearing mascara for years so I'm pretty good at applying it and know most of the best tricks. With this mascara I literly had to remember all the different ways to apply mascara and then picked a few ways and did a little bit of each way. For anyone who never reads Beauty Magazines, Books , and articles on the internet then those people will have no idea how to make this mascara work. applying make up is fun to me and I look forward to it everyday. I just didn't like this mascara... Sure I found a way to apply this and make it look awesome but the were way too many things I didn't like. The purple and blue look was the first thing and then it was the brush, and setting aside extra time to apply this. It's just too much time when another mascara can do it better and faster. I Will finish it within 3 months but I have no plans to buy this again. It looks really good and I have to use a bunch of tricks to get this perfect. It's just not worth my time.
