REVIEW : RED CANDY UK

3 June 2015

Red Candy Uk is a really fun website! They stock some really amazing brands such as Flamingo Candles and Happy Jackson.

They stock everything from telephones to candles to kitchen utensils! All of their products are so bright and colourful and look great! I love this vintage style telephone, it's just so quirky and fun, This mint photoframe would be a lovely addition to any room.

Red Candy recently sent me this lovely Flamingo Candle to review, I already have a flamingo candle in a Parma Violet scent but they are just so good. I'm so happy to add another to my collection. This is Strawberry and Champagne scent, its so good! It smells like those strawberry and cream sweets with the swirl.

I was also kindly sent some Happy Jackson lunch boxes which I haven't photographed yet but you can see them here on the Red Candy website, They are so handy and fun. They come in different sizes so they are perfect for whatever you decide for lunch!

REVIEW: FLAMINGO GIFTS

27 April 2015

Flamingo Candle in Parma Violets* / Penguin Mug by Tyrrell Katz */ Ted Baker Travel Laundry bags*

Flamingo Gifts is such a fab website with gifts for everyone, they stock some really amazing brands such as Flamingo Candles, Happy Jackson and Ted Baker. With so much choice there really is something for everyone!

First up is this Flamingo Candle in Parma Violet, it smells amazing!! I actually bought myself some Flamingo Candles wax melts last year at the clothes show! The scent are so strong and last for ages! The jars are supposed to burn for up to 50 hours which is amazing and at only £12 such a great value for money. The jars are so quirky and lovely to look at and they come in every scent you could think of, there's so many to choose from!

This penguin mug is so cute, there's a couple of different designs by Tyrrell Katz which are really fun. I absolutely love penguins so this is perfect for me. The mug is a little bit smaller than I expected, I like a BIG mug of tea! It feels nice to hold and has a nice finish to it! They do an elephant one and a dinosaur one which are so lovely.

I love Ted Baker so when I spotted these travel bags I thought they may come in handy! You get three different size bags, the zip pouch that you see in the first image and then two bigger drawstring pouches. They have little messages on the bags and a gorgeous Ted Baker pattern. I think i'd use the zip pouch as a travel make up bag as it's such a decent travel size. The the laundry bags are perfect to pack dirty laundry whilst your away or just to keep things seperate.

I'm so happy with the bits I picked out from Flamingo Gifts, check them out here to find out what brands they stock!

REVIEW: FLAMINGO CANDLES CHOCOLATE ORANGE SCENT MELT

16 December 2014

FLAMINGO CANDLES CHOCOLATE ORANGE SCENT MELT - FLAMINGO CANDLES - RRP- £2

I went to the Clothes Show Live last week and I was SOO excited to see Flamingo Candles were exhibiting. I've never tried any of their products before, I really didn't know what candle to get as there's so many different scents to choose from. As I couldn't decide I picked up some of the Scent Melts which were only £5 for 5 at the show. This way I get to try out some of the different scents. The candles are £12 each so I didn't wanna buy a candle and then not like the scent. I picked up my ceramic wax melt warmer from poundland for you guessed it, a pound! I had some tealights from ikea lying around. The Wax melt, melted so fast, and the scent was incredible! I could smell Terrys Chocolate Orange all around my house! It was amazing! When you blow out the candle the wax dries and goes hard, and then it will melt next time you light the candle. I have to say I was so impressed! I can't wait to give my other melts a go and find out what scent is my favourite. I've picked up Parma Violets, Pink Lemonade, Candy Floss and Green Tea and Lemon scent melts so i'll be giving these ago! I will be ordering some more aswell as they are so amazing and a great value for money. According to Flamingo Candles the Scent Melts burn for 15 hours!! I want to order some of the more fruity ones to try! Have you got a Flamingo Candle, which scent do you love ?

CLOTHES SHOW SHOW 2014

8 December 2014

I went to the Clothes Show today, i've been quite a few times before. For the last few years i've been offered a press pass. I went along and was really excited because there was lots of really exciting brands there.

I had a wonder around the market halls, I was excited to see Flamingo Candles, Public Desire and Spectrum Collections. There was so many great brands there such as Models Own, Ciate, Barry M, Nip and Fab, ProBlow and many more. The brands have such amazing offers and products available at the Clothes Show.

I then went to watch The Alcatel One Touch Fashion Theatre to watch the fashion show. The fashion show is always so good. There was some really good choreography and some amazing clothes!

The music was really good, as usual, there was loads of really great routines.

Overall, I had a really amazing day, I got to speak to loads of brands and built some great relationships with some really great brands. I also got to find out about new and upcoming brands that i've never heard of before which was really exciting.
