Bath & Body Works Fall Mini Candle




*I received the mini candle in Mahogany Teakwood from BBW free from Influenster to try out. All other candles and candle holders were purchased by me. All thoughts and opinions are honest and my own. I am not required to blog about BBW or their candles, but am doing so from my own free will.*


Hey, Everyone.

If you checked out my Influenster Beauty Blogger voxbox you'll know I got the Bath and Body Works mini candle in Mahogany Teakwood to try out.
I've been wanting to try this scent out for a while because someone mentioned it smelled like Abercrombie & Fitch  and I happen to love that scent. 
I could not, for the life of me, remember to check it out when I'd go to the BBW store, so I am sooo happy this is the scent I received. 

And in case you are curious, it does, in fact, smell like A&F, but not as strong.

The description on the bottom says:

"The scents of fine woods-mahogany, cedarwood and oak-highlighted by delicate lavender and geranium notes conjure up an escape to a cozy library on a chilly fall day."

I am not a lavender kind of girl, it gives me a headache, but this is so subtle. 
It's a nice cologne scent. If you have a guy in your life, I would suggest picking up one of these for him. Most likely he's not thinking about ways to freshen up his space and this isn't your typical girly floral or fruity scent. 


I had some of the winter scents in mini form from last year in the old packaging.
The new packaging is glass and are slightly taller but are the same product size.

I love the new packaging because you can re-use the glass holder once your candle is done.


BBW also has many cute holders to store your mini candles.

I love owls, can you tell? :)


Mini owl candle holder

Large owl candle holder that can hold medium or mini candles.

If you're interested in viewing all of BBW mini candle scent check out their website.
Mini candles are $3.50, but they are often on sale, so keep an eye out!

What are some of your favorite fall BBW candle scents?
I love Apple Crumble, Pumpkin Cupcake, and of course Mahogany Teakwood.

Candles by Victoria

Who doesn't love a good candle?

With scents like: Pink Cupcake, Georgia Peach, and Coco Mango, my mouth is watering! 

I stumbled upon Candles by Victoria through watching youtube videos and I thought this is something I need to looking into. 
I absolutely love candles! 

I've been enjoying my candles from Slatkin & Co from Bath and Body Works and they have an assortment, but nothing compared to Candles by Victoria.
With over 700 scents to choose from, how do you choose?
I have no idea. I want to buy and try them all. haha. 

CBV candles come in a 9oz jar for $8.50 or a 16oz jar for $12.50. They also have a surprise 8oz candle for $7.25 for those who just can't decide what scent to try, or the 4oz mini for $5.

If candles are not enough, CBV also sells scent shots and tart warmers. 

They have Fruity scents, Bakery scents, Christmas scents, Perfume and Cologne scents...pretty much if you can think it, they got it.
I'm so glad I stumbled across CBV, I'm seeing some major hauls in the near future.

With a  100% guarantee to their costumers, I don't see how you could go wrong.

Have you tried CBV? What are some of your favorite scents? Give me some ideas, I don't even know were to start! Haha.

*PS-I think they only offer shipping in the US and Canada*

Labor Day Collective Haul

I went hauling over the Labor Day weekend and here are the results. Enjoy. ;0)

I went to American Eagle and they were having a 40% off the entire store sale, this included already reduced items!
 I needed some shoes so I was pretty excited when I found these cute grey slip on shoes. Reg. price is $20, so that in itself is a pretty good deal, IMO. They ended up being around $11. They still have these in stock as they were not on clearance.

I also found these cute shoes for $20 reg and $11 w/ the sale. They are still in stock. They also have some other really cute shoes like these and they grey ones in different colors and designs. I really wanted the ones with flowers but they were out. Sigh. 

I needed some scarves since fall is vastly approaching. I found the purple plaid one in the clearance section plus the 40% off it was around $5. The blue floral one is a new item but with the 40% I think I paid like $15, eek. lol. I will admit, that is a bit pricey for me since I'm super cheap...but it was super cute. 
I found these cute owl socks at Forever 21 for 95 cents each. They are normally this price, so go check out F21 if you're in need of socks. They have a ton of cute designs. 


I can't resist Abercrombie and Abercrombie on sale is even more irresistible. They were having a 50% off clearance in stores and 40% online, which is still going on until tomorrow, I think. 
I got these $50 shorts for $25 and it included this really cute navy and white belt. 

I got these tanks for $14 each and they are around $30-$38 each originally. 

I went to Bath & Body Works a few times. hehe. First trip was three hand soaps in Mint Chocolate, Peach Punch, and Passionfruit Colada. They were having a 50% off summer sale on those making them $2.75 each. I wish I would have stocked up on those...they smell so good. I also picked up two candles, Frosted Cupcake and Apple Crumble. They were having a two for $20 on those, they are normally $20 each. Second trip I picked up one more hand soap in Vanilla Berry Sorbet, I still wish I would have stocked up on those...Idk why I didn't...anyways, I also picked up two more candles, another Frosted Cupcake and a Homemade Cookies candle. 

Next, we made a trip to the CCO ( Cosmetics Company Store Outlet) 
I didn't have much time to actually look at everything because a certain little lady makes shopping at a makeup store very difficult. ( My two year old daughter. lol) I needed a concealer so I got this MAC studio sculpt in NC20. I think it was around $11

I got this eyeshadow in Fashion, it's a starflash finish. Eyeshadows are around $10

Here is a swatch. It's like a silvery-greyish-blue color. 

I got this eyeshadow from the Mega Metal collection in Prance for $13. For some reason these eyeshadows are alot bigger than the normal MAC shadows. 

It's a very pretty champagne with a pinky undertone to it.
And lastly, I thought i'd share my spring inspired nails in honor of fashion week. (Fashion week is six month ahead so therefor it's spring. ;0)
