Scented Cosmetics Candles, Part I

BellaSugar — Thu, 12 Apr 2007 04:33:33 -0700

Scented candles are ritualistic. They symbolize moods, sensuality, relaxation and spirituality. Cosmetics companies really understand how to make a woman look and feel beautiful. Not only are these candles pretty to look at, but they have aromatherapy powers to calm any symptoms of stress. Whether you are chilling out in the bath or primping for an evening out, light a candle, it'll change your mood! Here are three new scented candles brought to us by some of our favorite cosmetics companies.

Fresh Sugar Lychee Candle, $48, is a warm and sweet smelling candle that I think both men and women will love. If you've ever smelled their lychee hand cream, you will know what a unique and incredible scent I am talking about.

The candle is made from a blend of citrus, lychee, grapefruit, lotus flower, freesia, tonka bean, sandalwood and amber. It is also available in yuzu, palomino, demitasse and sake scents.

Estee Lauder White Linen Scented Candle, $50, burns with the smell of their White Linen fragrance. It is a white candle housed in a really pretty deep navy blue glass votive. This makes for a fab gift since the packaging happens to be really amazing too. To see the rest of the Heritage Collection, click here.

Trish McEvoy Scented Candle, $45, is a vanilla and blueberry scent which creates a super yummy aroma. It has a powerful, yet soft scent that really awakens your senses when lit. It comes in a substantial frosted glass votive with a silver top and comes packaged in a chic clear wrapping with a grosgrain bow. The wick is also lead free for safety. Also available in Orange Ginger.

Introducing Trish McEvoy Sexy #9 Eau de Parfum, $95. This is the ninth and most alluring scent in her fragrance collection. It is rich, sweet and seductive...perfect for tempting him tonight on this special Valentine's Day!

Sexy #9 is made from: lush and captivating Amazon lilies, woodsy patchouli, rich amber and fruity and sensuous blackberry and vanilla musk. The musk is what stands out the most, and it is also what makes it so long lasting.

The bottle also comes with an old time atomizer bulb attached which looks very chic and feminine on any dresser. Enjoy but spray lightly - a little goes a long way.

Rumor has it raspberry pink lips are going to be hotter than ever for Spring. Just take a look at this cute pink pucker from the 3.1 Phillip Lim show. I am really digging some of the gorgeous new raspberry colored lip glosses. Want to know what else is brewing for Spring? Be sure to check out my other Spring Peeks.

This vibrant hot pink color is hot off the presses! Raspberry Syrup Pop Gloss 436 by Givenchy, $22.50 is a graffiti inspired color for Spring. It is an exceptionally bright shade in the tube, but it goes on sheer and light. This new color will join the Pop Gloss collection that is set for release in select Saks.com and Sephora.com stores over the next two weeks.

Guerlain KissKiss Laque in Fabulous Rose, $26, is considered a lipstick because of its thorough coverage, yet it has the shine of a gloss and is packaged just like a gloss. It smells delicious (infused with vanilla, red fruits and violet) and it looks uber sophisticated both in the tube and on your lips. This color is vivid, long lasting and provides incredible shine. Oh...and I love the fabulous name!

Trish McEvoy Highlights Lipgloss in Rose, $22, is an old time favorite of mine. It's not too sticky and can be worn alone or over a lipstick for more opaque color. This gloss leaves your lips feeling smooth and looking shiny.

The colors are universal, and the price is unbeatable. No wonder stores can't seem to keep this item in stock. Thankfully, you can buy it here for $21. Here's what's inside:

Bronze Shimmer Pressed Powder is a lightly iridescent brown that can be used to create a sun-kissed glow.
Pretty Pink Blush is a medium, neutral blush that should be applied to the high point of your cheeks for an instant wake-up call.
