Anderson Lilley Super Bloom No. 14 Candle








I believe I got this candle in one of my subscription boxes. Although, if I had bought it, I would have gotten it for the vessel. I have been known for buying candles for their containers instead of their scents.

The candle has scents of basil, tangerine leaf, anise, lily of the valley, jasmine, violet,  geranium, rose, rosewood,  and cashmere musk. The scent is pleasant but, didn't have much of a throw. I would have to stand very close to the candle to even get a faint trace of the scent. This wasn't my favorite candle but, at least I still have a new container for my makeup brushes.

Four Truffle Lime Basil Mandarin Body Butter









The rich whipped body butter has unisex scent of citrus and peppery undertones. The body butter is packed with shea butter, vitamin E, aloe vera juice and the oils of olive, argan and virgin coconut. According to the Four Truffle’s product description, the body butter promises “neutralize free radicals and infuse skin with essential fatty acids, iron, vitamins and intense nourishment”. I am not sure if the body butter actually neutralized the target, doesn’t  that sound very high tech? The rich body butter is thick and left my skin feeling greasy. Which why I tend to use this before bed and wake up with softer and smoother skin.
