I haven't had a candle in years. My last one a glade on, when my oldest daughter was a baby. I really would love a candle.

How is this thread not alive!? I LOVE wax melts, I have three burners littered around my house, and I love picking up new melts at craft fairs and the seaside markets we have here. I really like Bath and Body works 3 wick candles, you have to use a forwarding company (or friend) to get them here but god they're worth it. I have two from the Christmas range, a Cranberry and a Peppermint one. They float into my nose when I'm sleeping and I love it :D

I'm such a candle person. I have them burning SO often. I really really want to try candle crush and ecoya but i'll burn anything and everything lol. My usual go-to are the Warehouse Aura ones which are astonishingly good for how cheap they are!

Yes! I love those warehouse ones, they are surprisingly good smelling. Great English. Don't even worry haha. I really wanna try candle crush too but I really can't justify spending that price on a candle haha. Even when they were buy 3 get 1 free, $90 for candles? nope. lol. I wish they still made their melts :'( I'd love to do a wax swap haha or is that so overly nana-ry of me?

I'm not getting DF alcohol this time around so I'm thinking I might treat myself to an Ecoya candle DF, maybe. But cba carrying it there and back and can't remember if they have them on this side. Meh.

But yeah, crazy expensive but sooo yummy in the sure. The other ones too, Glasshouse. And The Peter Alexander ones.

Actually I'm gonna work from my home, maybe it counts as a business expense?

I love soy melts or any type of melts as I can't afford candles all the time and am very particular about scent! I'm currently melting Alexandar the Grape from candle crush which is amazing! And after that I have the cookie one which I'm so excited for and its probably my fave scent ever! I love me a sweet scent. And then I have my eyes on a yankee candle in lime and cilantro (I THINK) but it smells like a lime milkshake

I wish I could afford Candle Crush haha! And as for Yankee, I don't really like them! They're at Spotlight in town and I've smelled a lot of them, and I only liked maybe 10% of them. Their wax melts I don't think last very long either which is a shame - though I'm finding it hard to find any wax melts that last a decent amount of time, smell wise.

I've only been able to afford the melts and not the full candles because they were $4 each. Sadly discontinued though :( and as for the yankee candles I know what you mean. I went into spotlight sniffing them and I literally liked one out of like 15 hahaha I know there are some amazing yankee ones but its like spotlight just got all the gross ones that don't sell over seas! As well as that I'd never even heard of the scents spotlight stocked...

Hahahahah Danni that was my thoughts exactly!! Hahahaha ahh, great minds! I had a blue one, like carribbean something something, that was nice but lasted that one burning haha. I was like... THATS IT!?!? Sigh. I have a whole heap from these guys, I usually buy a whole heap from their clearance haha. They don't last long either, maybe 2 burns if you're lucky. If you ever see him at a craft fair don't tell him what tea light you use, god, you'll never hear the end of it. I buy 100 tealights for $7, rather than 5 soy candles for $20 or whatever. The look he gives you is like you shot his dog! Sad and disgusted lol

I picked up some soy candles on NZsale when they are on special the only issue is they take ages to arrive

I LOVE candle crush!! like a kid in a candy store and oh mean vanilla bean would be my faves. They are a bit pricey but they burn for at least 50 hours and the glass jars once your finished burning them are cool. I have used some to sit my brushes in.

Plus they come with a freebie! A cute candle and a ring, win win. But i dont want it if the candle doesnt have a scent. Or an over bearing melted plastic scent when the label clearly says "pomegranate" or something.

Exactly!! Ahh now I feel like going on a google hunt for some hahaha. If they have a FB page you could always check out the comments - people usually comment if they're amazing, or if they smell like plastic haha

Ughh what an idiot, i didn't even think of doing that.
So they definately have a facebook page and not one bad review in sight. And they have scents I didn't know they had.
Yay for payday this coming week.

Love Love Love Citrus, Vanilla and Tropical scents. Candles are amazing, apart from their beautiful and uplifting scents , the glow of a candle is calming too,

I think my sense change I love floral tropical and now I'm in love with vanilla. Last month I purchased a candle from candles by Bee, she's a entrepreneur candle and diffuser maker in Auckland and I love her vanilla scented candle. It smelt like caramel. Unfortunately the burn time was fast it said 20 hrs but it felt like less. Maybe I overdid it. You can't blame me because the smell was devine.

OMG just received my Purple Orchid soy melts after trialling a candle I thought I'd get some melts to test out a few of the scents- the French Vanilla Icecream smells exactly like an Icecream- like I can even smell the cone! It's is unreal and I wish it was a hot summers day so I could have an Icecream right now!

I love The Aromatherapy Co.'s Mileu range, in particular Gardenia and Ylang Ylang (so calming) and Passionfruit and Orange Blossom.
Aside from the divine scent, the design is lovely and they're the perfect size.

So I used the Glad Amber and Oud again and it didn't give me a headache this time. I absolutely love it. I actually bought another one today as it was on special and it burns quite fast.
