MINI CANDLES!  





These little bad boys pack a BIG punch!  When I say BIG I mean it.  Everyone knows we do BIG in Jersey...Big nails...BIG teased and poofed...hair??...(Thank you Jerseylicious for that stereotype)   Whomp Whomp Whomp).  I have a huge bedroom- the master bedroom and these bad ma'ama jammas fill up my room with delicious, fragrant smells.

They are 4 oz. of wax for $5.  They are  a great way to try out scents if you do not have a tart warmer.  I highly recommend these.  They are a good bang for your buck.  Did I mention that these mini jars are super cute and aesthetically pleasing.  :)  They will fit it with any room decor.

I am going to talk about the scents I have in these jars.  I get these if I have a good idea that I will like the scent, then decide if I want a bigger version of it.  Soo....without further adieu:

Why I Autumn- this is a spicy Fall scent.  You can smell the Anise in it.  I like this scent a lot.
Carmel Apple- perfect combo of Apple and Caramel mixed in perfect harmony.  Reminds me of being at a fair :).
Pumpkin Pie Spice- smells like the inside of a pumpkin pie.  Perfection.
Geisha- this has a very strong scent throw.  Smells like Japanese Cherry Blossoms- nothing more, nothing less.
Rock That Vanilla- I love this smell so much, I have it in a 22 oz Tureen.  Smells like faint strawberry and cream.  Delish!
Pink Cupcake- soooo good!  Smells like a funfetti cake to me.  Vanilla cake with sugary, vanilla icing.  It is very sweet.
Citrusmoon- love, love, love this!  The aroma is amazing...it's citrus and musk.  I can smell oranges, apples and a musk smell, maybe some jasmine.
Banana Coconut Cream Pie- smell just like it.  I love Victoria's banana scents.  You get the banana and coconut plus a pie crust smell...heavenly.  I will be ordering this in a bigger jar.
Lime Crystal Kisses- smells like straight up lime.  If you love citrus scents, you'll love this.
Coco Lime Verbena- you put da lime in de coconut....oops sorry...50/50 of coconut and lime.  Smells just like BBW's Coconut Lime Verbena, which I loveee.
Peanut Butter Cookies- this smells like straight up, legit peanut butter cookies...yum yum yum.
Raspberry Violet- amazingggg....this smells just like these Violet candies my mom ate when I was little.  They tasted nasty but smelled amazing.  Will be getting a Tureen of this.  Try thisssss.  K thanks. :).
Cheesecake- a light cheesecake smell with that pie crust scent.



This is my review and thoughts on the Mini candles.  Try them out, you won't regret it.

CBV Fall Order

    I got my order of Fall/Christmas scents yesterday :).  Since I waited for Hurricane Irene to hit the Jersey Shore & I have Pneumonia...I figured I'd do my blog review...since I can't do a video review yet.

22 oz Tureen:
 

Bath Time with Pooh- I love the gold and silver glitter combo!!  It's so beautiful and glamorous looking.  And what can I say about Bath Time with Pooh??  AMAZING!! As usual :)  I love it and I'm excited I got it in this much wax :)  I love the honey, toffee, creamy smell <3  It was love at first smell when I first got it last year <3

Snowflake Candle:
 

Sugared Spruce- Oh My God!!  I ordered this without ever having it in a scent shot knowing I was going to love it because I love anything that smells like a Christmas Tree...and...

I was right!  It is so good.  It smells like the pine of a Christmas Tree sprinkled in sugary goodness.  I definitely recommend this scent for a holiday smell.

Scent Shots:
Holiday Wassail- This smells like a festive drink.  Right now I can smell Apple Cider, Pineapple, Orange with a kick of Brandy!  It is a nice light smell, not too overpowering.

Pumpkin Pickin- This is a nice, creamy Pumpkin smell.  It's not a spicy pumpkin.  To me...it smells like Pumpkin and Vanilla.

Sleigh Bells- Right now all I smell is the Cherry and Almond.  It really stands out....I can only smell a hint of mint.

Tonka Truck- OMG...there is no other words to describe this smell other than: SEXY MAN!!

Warm Christmas Splendor- This scent is very strong on Peppermint and Cinnamon.  May be a little too strong for me.

Pumpkin Cheesecake- smells just like the name.  I like it a lot.  I would get it in a bigger candle.

Christmas Lane- I really like this scent.  I pick up Apple with some Pine mixed in.  I also pick up a hint of clove.

Ginger Peach- It smells half Ginger, half Peach.  Nothing more....nothing less.  It's simple and I love it!

Mango Sorbett- I can smell the Mango, but it also has a strong perfume smell...it's not one of my faves.

Endless Love- Smells just like the VS spray.  MMMM....soo good <3

Log Cabin- I got this because my friend Aerika reviewed it and liked it.  I like it as well!  It smells just like pancakes and syrup.  I like this a lot as it does not have a overpowering, sickening sweet syrup smell.

Christmas Memories- This is another good holiday scent.  I can smell the Cranberry and Orange in it.  Reminds me of a drink you could have at an Ugly Sweater party ;)

Banana Brown Sugar Drizzle- Oh My Lanta!!  I love all of Victoria's Banana scents.  This smells like Banana Sugared goodness.

Chantilly Lace- this is a very light and delicate smell.  It reminds me of a perfume my mom wore when I was little, but I don't know what it is.

Apple Pie Ala Mode- MMMMM....it smells like those sizzling apple deserts you get at restaurants with ice cream on top....I am definitely ordering this in a 16 oz.

Raspberry Guava- I got this because a lot of people have raved about this, but I don't see why.  All I can smell right now is Raspberry.  This has to cure more.

Holiday Homebrew- WOW!  This one is  STRONG.  I can smell the Cinnamon, Clove and Nutmeg.

Peppermint Bark- smells just like it and I love it...White Chocolate and Peppermint.

Nutty Candied Apple- I can smell the nuttiness and candied apple part...I love it...will be getting bigger candle for Halloween :)

Free Scent Shot:
Maple Pecan Streusel- smells like Carmalized Pralines with a buttery note...still good in my book



Hope you enjoyed my review :)
