I bought the last Red Velvet Cupcake candle that was in the store I frequent. Didn't expect to see it there, especially since it was the holidays edition, and it was right in the middle of summer. I nabbed it, as I'd been lamenting that RVC was only available in mason jar form. The candle cost me $5 (!!!) and is worth every penny I paid for it (it was a fantastic deal). It smells sweet, but not sickening. I burn it when I'm in my "sweet tooth" mood, when I just want something sugary. The smell is reminiscent of the cream cheese frosting, as opposed to red velvet. The throw is pretty good, and fills up my room quickly. The scent lingers for quite a bit too, which is great to revel in especially after a long day of work/school. -

I personally hate pumpkin smells because they tend to be way too spicy for my liking, so I was relieved to find a sweeter alternative: apple. Farmstand Apple is my favourite out of the other apple-scented products, because it really does smell so very fresh and authentic. Every time I take a whiff of the cold candle, it smells just like the moment when I'm about to take a bite of an apple. It's juicy, yummy, and very refreshing. It's delicious on cold sniff, and smells just as good when burned. The smell lingers in my small room easily, though I'm not sure if the throw is strong enough to fill up bigger rooms. It's something worth stockpiling though! -
Bath & Body Works 3 Wick Candle - Watermelon Lemonade

So good, I had to buy a back up candle. It has a really refreshing scent, and makes me want to eat or drink anything watermelon-related when I burn the candle. I didn't think I'd like the lemonade part of the candle, but surprisingly it comes together very well, and gives a good zest to it. Many people say it's a good summer candle, but I burn it whenever I'm in a "tropical" mood, or when I feel like my room needs something light and refreshing to "cleanse" it. -

Bought this on impulse online, and I have absolutely no regrets! It smells amazing, even better than its description. It smells exactly like a delicious mix of popcorn and caramel, and I get hungry every time I burn it hahaha. The smell is very strong and lasting; I can smell the candle even with the lid on! The throw is decent, and can fill a small room up quickly. I'm reluctant to burn it as often since it's no longer being sold in stores and online. -

This is possibly one of the very few liquid foundations that matches my skin tone perfectly. I've been searching high and low for something that will match my olive skin, and I think I've found it with this one. It provides an even coverage, and does a good job of evening out my skin. It doesn't dry out my skin, but my laugh lines and oily nose do show up towards the end of the day. It also does a pretty good job of covering up redness and milder scars. Darker scars would definitely require a concealer though. Purchasing it just got easier now that's available on amazon, so I don't have to deal with that ridiculous myUS thing. -

The lesser known, but way better smelling sister of the Green Tea spray. I received this as a Christmas present, and immediately fell in love. It's gentle, fresh and sweet (in that nice floral way). The staying power is great as well, and can easily last me a 5-6 hour school day. I've since tried looking for it in stores, but to no avail. -

A feminine, playful and sweet scent, without being cloying. It was my "signature scent" last winter, and surprisingly it stayed on me really well! I thought the price was decent too, as I was expecting something ridiculous considering it's by Paris Hilton. The mirror strip on the back of the bottle is a nice touch too. -
Maybelline New York Baby Lips Lip Balm
Love the smell and the little tint of colour! One of my must-haves especially in winter.

eos Organic Smooth Spheres Lip Balm in Honeysuckle Honeydew
Smells great and provides all day hydration for my lips. I love that it doesn't melt in its container like other tube lip balms (ahem Burt's Bees). The only downside is that its bulky shape means I can't slip it into jean pockets...
