Woodwick Hearthwick Candles - Lavender Spa

I needed to seriously de-stress. not just in a general life sense, but deeply and subconsciously as well. 'Lavender Spa' appealed to me at this time.

This is a nice lavender candle which crackles loudly as it burns.
It is especially loud because of the larger wick surface.

The sound and the lavender scent it very soothing.

This would be a really nice alternative to a fireplace.

Because of the larger wick, it doesn't last as long as other candles of the same size.

This body wash has organic orange and sea buckthorn extracts.
It is vegan, organic, all natural fragrance, paraben-free, phthalate-free, and mineral oil-free.

It is a clear gel which cleans well, not much of a lather though, but that's ok.

Lipton - Time To Relax - Tea

This tea has chamomile, lavender, linden, and vanilla.

Before you put it in water, it smells very stronger of lavender.

After you put it in the water it has a buttery vanilla scent.

The taste is a mellow lavender and it is lovely.

Overall it's a bit like drinking a SpellBox (which I can get behind).

I miss SpellBox.

Of course if you don't like lavender, you won't like this.

Same Product, Different Scent - Dusch Das - Vitalisiert - Body Wash

This smells so lovely! The main scent is peach, but it isn't overwhelming, with citrus notes.

It doesn't take much to clean you and cleans well (only one pass).
It doesn't upset my skin, which is also ideal.

The packaging looks so familiar...

I knew it! Both brands are owned by Unilever and they just used the same bottle.

Om SHE Aromatherapy - Mint & Rosemary - Foot Balm

This smells so lovely! A strong, herby scent of rosemary and true mint.
It is hydrating and also sulphate and paraben free.

However, it is a thick lotion at best (if you are feeling generous), it is not thick enough.
Heals need a butter or cream.

It doesn't do much to soften the feet (when applied overnight and in socks).

Aromatherapy Associates - Lotion - with Lavender & Ylang ylang

Kneipp - Körperpeeling Creme-Öl-Peeling - Exfoliating Scrub

Another item from the April Glossybox (thanks Miss Buttons and PB)!

This is a sugar scrub (so perhaps be careful where you use it) with a really nice scent.

It smells like coconut oil, lemon oil, orange oil, and other wonderful things. 

The scent is very nice.

I like to use it on my lips when they get a bit dry /peeling /when I attempt a new toothpaste but I am allergic to it as well.

It does leave a distinct oily residue on the skin, which I don't mind at all, but others may.

Same Product, Different Scent - The Body Shop - Body Butter - Passion Fruit

This smells AMAZING!

Like fresh, tart passion fruit pulp.

The only thing that confuses me slightly is the colour, the body butter is coloured light purple... I would make it yellow personally, but ok.

Purple Prairie Botanicals - Shampoo Bar - Cedarwood & Tea Tree

This was a free sample! :D

I had never used solid shampoo before!
It smells really nice, the cedarwood is the main scent (which I freaking love!).

It leaves your hair SUPER clean, squeaky clean!
If you want your hair CLEAN clean, try this!

The only downside was my scalp didn't like being THAT clean, I had bad dandruff afterward.
In retrospect my scalp may have liked a conditioner afterward.

Clearasil - Superfruits Refreshing Toner

This is an alcohol-based toner that works really well at removing makeup.
Since it is alcohol-based, it stings quite badly when it gets in your eye.

So many causes of bloodshot eyes and this is the easiest to fix (also the lamest).

Also, you want to follow up this toner with a moisturiser, as it will dry your skin.

The scent (raspberry and cranberry) is SO lovely!
It is almost enough to make me purchase it again.

The packaging is great, it didn't leak at all.
