Krista's Candles Review!

SO if you read my Glam Box review for February then you heard me mention Krista's Candles!
I know this isn't technically beauty related, but for those of you who don't know, I LOVE candles and I LOVE Scentsy. Who doesn't want a house that smells amazing all the time???

However, as much as I love Scentsy, I think it has certain downfalls and I've been actively looking for a replacement brand to love for awhile now. First, if you don't know someone that sells Scentsy, shipping can be pretty expensive, and on top of the high price they carry of like $5 a bar, I don't think it's really worth it. Another BIG time problem I've had is lightbulb availability for my warmer. I'm pretty sure they intentionally use the more obscure lightbulbs ever to make sure you HAVE to order from them, and again if you don't know someone, do you really want to pay $8 to ship one lightbulb??? No. You don't.

These issues are all resolved by Krista's Candles! I was recently lucky enough to get to try out one of her warmers, as well as a variety of different scents of tarts and candles!

Here's a complete list of the scents I received:

 Love Spell (this smells amazing and just like the fragrance from Victoria's Secret)
 Rio Rumberry (Love this!! Nice & Fruity)
 Juicy Peach (Another major win for me, this smells sooo good)
 Blackberry Tangerine (I mostly smell the tangerine in this, kind of smells like orange juice!)
 Amish Harvest (This definitely smells like Christmas!!)
 Maui Mist (This smells super good too)
 Lemongrass (If you like lemons, this is for you. I think it smells AWESOME)
I also received a Moonlight Path Candle in my Glam Box that smelled super nice & just like the Bath & Body Works fragrance.

I love the tarts that Krista carries. They all smell really really nice and seem to smell stronger for longer than Scentsy Bars in my opinion. She carries LOTS of scents too from fruity to tropical to floral & you can check them out HERE at her scent list! PLUS, they're only $2.50 a piece!!!  I love a good deal. :)

She sells warmers for $17, and the great plus side of them is that they DON'T require a bulb!!!!! Cheaper than Scentsy warmers and I never have to buy a bulb??? I'm SOLD!
You can pick up a candle the size I received for only $5. My Rio Rumberry candle has been lit several times since I received it, and it's still burning strong!!

SO. If you like things that smell pretty and you like a good deal, definitely head over to my friend Krista's website and give them a shot!! Everything is handmade/hand poured and smells awesome! Here are her links! Now go support a small business owner!! :D

Guest Post! Melissa's January Glam Box Review!

Ok sorry it is a bit late but I am starting to thaw out now,only to find out we could be getting snow on Wed! Yes Im in Texas! -ok rant over. Now on to the fabulous stuff I got!

Ok the first thing I ripped into was the candy so there is no picture of it. Im sorry but you can't really blame me! It was chocolate! And it was delicious I have no regrets - plus my kids would have found it and sampled it for me and then how would I be able to tell you how awesome it was?

Ok so now that I have justified my eating the chocolate before I could take a picture of it, let's get to those awesome candles ! Omg the only complaint I have is that they really made me crave a latte! Good thing I used them in the kitchen next to a full pot of coffee! If you have not checked this candle company out yet you should, you won't be disappointed!

Next we have this interesting make your own perfume kit. It's pretty potent even in the plastic wrap. But if you like musky scents this is for you.

 Now for my most looked forward to item in the box! The mineral shadows :) One thing I love about this company is the personal care they put into to each box. I told them I have hazel eyes but lately they have been blue but I also own alot of brown shadows, so I received deep plum and silver so if I want a change of pace there it is. They did come with a primer but I don't use that for my shadows but they are shimmery in the tube so I am gonna use them for when I feel lazy about putting on makeup or wake up late.

The 2nd most looked forward to item well wished for item was this great loofa foot soap. It could not come at a better time since like I said with this cold snap and it being 25 out it took some pretty convincing conversions in my head to jump in the shower LOL. The only complaint I kinda have is that it's pretty big and that can be good for some but I put my special soap in a travel soap container so my kids won't use all my stuff so I had to cut it in half . If they made smaller bars that would be great!

Also Im especially fond of the sample of the HazelBrooke Exfoliating scrub and the Soaplandia samples. Most would want to use them in the shower and im sure they work great for that but I used them after work (Im a housekeeper so my hands go through ALOT) and I have to say that my hands have done a 180.
The rose mist from Mineral Fountain Is also great. But I could be a bit biased since roses are my favorite flower too. Yes I fully admit to spritzing some on my pillows in the bedroom,I like the fact that again I don't need much maybe even half a spritz . So far my hubs has not complained so I must be doing it right!

The last surprise I got in my box was more polish remover pads! You have no idea how happy I was to get these, again with the personal care we get! I raved about them in my last glam box review, and I'm really being truthful these are the only thing I have used since I started getting glam box and I see a real improvement in my nails ! Btw you can order them on their site if you just want the polish remover pads or if your still on the fence about a full sz box you can always get a mini mystery bag!
And again if you do order anything from this fabulous up and coming company please let them know that Melissa Spangle sent you!
Ok guys see you next review! I have mystery bags coming so I'll be sure to know what goodies I get!

Guest Post!! Glam Box Review by Melissa!

So this new company was advertised in some of the beauty and polish groups I am in and I figured for $15.00 why not? I really didn't know what to expect but it its described as the same idea as ipsy and birch box and I love those so it was an instant sell for me! As you can see from the picture above the first thought I had when I opened it was WOW this is no Ipsy! (I just signed up for Birchbox and my first box is on it's way to me.)

I had thought that when they asked in my profile survey if I was married it was just for statistic purposes,but no they thought of my hubs and sons as well :) 

Warning! Spoiler Alert! :)
