Living Light Soy Travel Tin Review

I received one of these in the Best beauty box ever, I am a big candle fan so getting another candle to add to my collection makes me so happy! I received Revive which has a citrus scent of Orange, grapefruit and lime, combined they smell so refreshing and really open up your senses. The smell of this candle really boosts your mood!

It comes in a beautiful tin, which I have never seen before and a twist lid, I like the idea of being able to carry this in my bag and travel with this.

As much as I love the scent of this candle, when its lit, it doesn't travel very far. The fragrance is very light unless you're up close to the candle.

Overall I wont be purchasing this candle in the future unless the scent is made stronger.

Ok this little candle is amazing, I received the Pohutukawa scented candle in the NZ brands BBBE, as much as I love beauty products I think this is an awesome addition to the beauty box.

This comes in a small silver tin with a screw top lid it has a red coloured label on it that matches in with the tin and red flowers from a Pohutukawa tree.

The scent reads citrus, berries and spice and this is exactly what it is, especially the berries and spice. It says on the tin 18 hours burn time. Well I have had this going 18 hours and I'm pretty sure I could easily squeeze another 5 hours out.

After an hour of burn time I get a berry and spice scent lingering in the kitchen. We have a rather large kitchen and dining area so it can take a while for a scented candle to come to life. The scent isn't overly strong or overpowering it's quite mellow, I do prefer stronger scents so this might be perfect if unlike me, you prefer the not so strong scents. I really do adore the scent but just wish it was a tad stronger. It lingers in the room for about 30 minutes after I stop burning it.

A lovely candle but unsure if I will repurchase.

I was really excited to see this in the BBBE box and got Revive, pure essential oils of lime, grapefruit and orange. I love the packaging and the screw lid tin which means you can put it away or take it away with you. The citrus scent smelled divine and I was really excited to use it. But I was so very disappointed. Once the wick was lit though, there was no sign of the lovely fragrant smell that wafted when it was unlit. I waited and waited but all I got was a waxy smell and nothing more. So disappointed that it didn't live up to my expectations, I definitely won't be buying this again.

I recieved this candle as part of the Best Beauty Box ever. I have purchased candles from living light before as they have some gorgeous scents in their range. This wee delight is no exception! I recieved the pohutakawa scent which is a mix of citrus, spice and berries. While it is a sweet scent it somehow avoids being cloying. It also has amazing longevity for such a cute wee candle!

Unfortunately I found with this candle (and other candles in this tin format) that the wax leaks out the base of the tin, which meant I got candle wax all over my table! I would suggest that you burn candles like these ones on top of a saucer or similar to avoid this.

Would definately recommend living light candles!

When I saw a candle added to the bestbeautybox I was so happy to see that added. I got my box through the TGIF deal. This candle was my first thing to try . With Living Light being featured on Beauty Review I simply could not wait to try this candle out.

This comes in a beautiful soft metal tin, labelled with a vibrant yellow labelling. My candle is Revive. The texture of this soy candle is creamy white and smooth. Very gentle to touch. This scent reminds me of of sweet lemons with a tangy twist of limes in the background. When I lit this candle I didn't experience any crumbling with the wick. So happy about that. It took at least an hour of burning time to detect this scent. I do understand that soy takes a bit longer to burn.

After burning this candle about four times there is still a little bit remaining in my tin. My partner wasn't a fan of lemon . I definately did enjoy using this candle. This scent was subtly pleasant. Im glad it wasn't overpowering otherwise I think I wouldn't have liked it.I thought it was a wonderful addition this box. I hope they bring more candles out in boxes or even melts. I would love to try more candles from the Living Light range.

I got the travel size tin of this in my Beauty Review box. I've never tried or even heard of this brand before that. I've started being more of a candle person so it was definitely something I was looking forward to trying out.

The packaging of this is quite unique, to me. All my other candles are in glass jars but this one is in a little tin. I really like how it looks, almost rustic I guess. This has orange labelling, orange always screams citrus to me so I think this colour is the perfect choice.

The scent of this is very much as described. It smells slightly herbal, but definitely has the sweet orange sweet overtop of that. It smells nice before it is lit and when it is lit, it scents up my room nicely and within the first hour or so which I think is pretty good.

The big downside to me, came just now actually. I had it burning this morning (after using about half of it previously), and I noticed it had gone out. The wick had fallen over and won't support itself so it had gone back into the wax and went out. I have no way of making this stand on it's own again so sadly this candle is done for me. I did enjoy the scent while I was using it but I wouldn't go out and purchase this because I would hate for that to happen again.

I got this beautiful candle in the recent BR vault. I was even more excited to know that it was a pillar candle not just a little one in a tin. I am usually a wax melts in a warmer sort of girl but when this popped its gorgeous head up in the vault, I knew I had to have it!! I mean cmon for 390 of my hard earned points it is soooo worth it!!!

The appearance of the candle is simply quite exquisite. Like I said it's a pillar candle and reminds me of marmalade colour. Upon smelling, I am reminded of a citrus orchard and lemon curd. I am such a huge fan of citrus and anything tangy so this would be right up my alley!

I have never tried Living Light branded candles so didn't have any real expectations. In the past I have been let down by scented candles and am often a little too anxious to leave them going for any long period of time because of the fire risk. I lit it nonetheless and waited for the beautiful citrus to fill my nostrils. I waited and I waited and it never really came. I wanted a punch of scent to hit me but all I got was a huge amount of nothingness!!! To say I was disappointed is an understatement. It now has pride of place in my emergency power outage kit because that's all it is good for now! (SAD FACE)

I am so glad that there was a candle in the last vault, as that was the first thing on my list and I made sure to get it first. It arrived in a timely manner thanks to the dutiful Beauty Babes who packed it lovingly, and I was away laughing. I did however pack it up before I got to use it even once, but now that we are in our new home it's in it's new home too!

The thing that attracted me most to this candle was the smell. It doesn't smell like a fake lavender - it smells like I have a lavender bush in my house. The first time I burned it I really should have trimmed the wick as it was quite large (as was the flame) but it seemed to burn evenly with not a lot of wax dripping, which is good because it was above my head!

The throw of this candle is delightful when it's burning, it can be smelled all through the bathroom and laundry and even follows me into the living room. It's awesome!! I was having a lavender bath at the time so this complimented it nicely, as well as being it's own stand out smell. And I was most definitely relaxed!! This candle is just great and I'd gladly buy another!

I love that this candle is fragranced with essential oils, however, the scent is hardly there. I had high hopes for this candle but I was disappointed that you could hardly smell it at all. I have this candle in revive which is meant to smell like lime, orange and grapefruit. The citrus scents are very light and fresh, and combine to give a lovely scent. I can only really smell this when I bend down to smell the candle though. When it's lit the scent is very weak and doesn't travel well. You can hardly smell it even when you sit right next to it within a metre.

I also love that this candle is made from pure soy wax. This is meant to last longer and have a longer burn time. And so far I think it will last quite a long time. It says it has up to 18 hours of burn time and I expect this candle will last for 18 hours. So far mine has been burning for about 4 hours and looking inside the tin hardly any of the soy wax has disappeared.

This candle comes in a cute little tin, about the size of the old fashioned tins hard boiled sweets used to come in that you used to be able to buy. The tin is a nice size and would be good for traveling as you can screw the lid back on.

Overall I was very disappointed with this candle and will not be repurchasing this.

This is absolutely the best scented candle I've ever had, and I've tried a lot over the years! I received it in a BBBE and am so happy I did, as I'd never heard of the brand before. Now I see they have a shop locally, so I'm definitely heading in to buy more for the Christmas season etc. I love the wee tin it's in and that you can close it up after using it to protect it, and take it with you for a romantic weekend away, without damaging it. The scent really is divine and doesn't irritate me at all, or cause any allergy type reactions in our family. It's a beautiful natural scent that fills the whole house without getting too much. Awesome local brand, definitely worth the money - great price.
