10 Ways To Re-Use An Empty Candle

If you are like me and use up candles quite quickly (because you love them) then you might want to think about re-using the jar/pot (especially if its really pretty!). There are so many ways you can re-use them but here are some of the things that I do.

But, firstly you need to clean out the jars.
If they have any wax left in them, you can put them in the freezer and after a few hours when you take them out, if you get a knife (be careful!) then you can break the wax left in the bottom and it should come out really easily in a few pieces. If there is any black marks around the edge from the burning, then you can get a cotton pad with nail polish on and wipe over it and it will come off.

Makeup brushes 
The large jars are really good for this and look really pretty on your dressing table.

Lip balms
This looks really cute and this Yankee Candle simply home jar is great for this.

Makeup
This is quite a nice way to hold your makeup and if you put some of your everyday products in it then it's easy to get to.

Loose change
I always keep penny's and 2ps when I get them because if you save them up you can go to the bank and exchange them for cash. Big jars are good for this because they can hold a lot.

Hairbands and Hair grips
If you're like me and always lose hair bands and hair grips, then it's a good idea to keep them in one place. Small jars are good for holding the grips and bigger ones are great for hair bands and hair accessories.

Cotton pads and buds
Big jars with lids are great for cotton pads, because you don't want dust to get to them if you are using them for your face. Small jars are also good for cotton buds.

Pens and Pencils

The larger jars are good for this and they can look really pretty on your desk.

Treats

Okay, not going to lie this is my favourite. You can put whatever sweets/chocolates that you want in it and it just looks really cute. I put these Halloween chocolates in this jar and lets just say they didn't last long.

Plants

You can have any size jar for this. Cacti look really cute in them and so do succulents. 

Jewellery 

If you have a few delicate rings then it's good to keep them same in a small jar/pot for next to all your other jewellery.

Let me know if you have any other ideas and thank you for reading!

A Couple Of Holy Grail Skin Care Products

These are the only two Liz Earle products I have ever tried and they are amazing!

The Cleanse & Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser is raved about quite a lot and I can tell why! After you use it, your skin feels so clean and soft, it doesn't make your skin feel dry or tight, it really does get rid of any traces of makeup of grime on your face from the day, and after using it for a while you really can tell a difference in your skin. It has eucalyptus oil, rosemary, chamomile, and cocoa butter in it, which are all meant to be really good for your skin.
Its £14 or £15.50 for the starter kit, which also includes 2 muslin cloths and a little case.

Next is the Deep Cleansing Mask, which is a clay mask and is great for more oily skin. It's meant to be good for all over the face or just on areas with blemishes. I love this because when I use it, it really does help my skin and it smells amazing!

Thank you for reading! Do you have any holy grail skin care products?

Autumn Collective Beauty Haul

 Over the past month I've been buying quite a few beauty bits, so I thought I'd do a little haul! I always save up my money and then go shopping and go wild and get things I've been wanting for a while.

I got the Real Techniques Eyes Starter Set, which I'm in love with. They are so soft and just perfect.
I also picked up the Zoella Beauty Wonder hand. I've been wanting this since I first saw it and I was so excited for it. It's one of Zoella's new beauty products, so I knew I would like it anyway as I love all of her other products. It smells amazing and I either keep it out on my desk or in my schoolbag so I can use it all the time.
I then bought two Tanya Burr Cosmetics nail polishes in Riding Hood and Fairy Godmother. I absolutely love Tanya Burr and she's recently re-branded and re-packaged her products. they all look so beautiful now so I thought I had to try some. I do already have her brow palette but I thought I'd also try some of the nail polishes. I think that Riding Hood is such a nice autumnal colour.

Next I've bought a few makeup items.

I re-purchased the Collection Lasting Perfection concealer because its just so good and I use it a lot. I got this in Fair 1.

Then I picked up the Soap & Glory One Heck Of A Blot powder. I got this because I've heard really good things about it and I do have quite oily skin so I thought this would be great for me.

And lastly for makeup I got the Benefit mini High Beam, which is so pretty.

In LUSH they had all of their Halloween and Christmas stuff out and not going to lie I got very excited. I picked up the Sparkly Pumpkin and Butterbear. I currently have them in my bedroom and my whole room now smells of autumn. ( I LOVE IT!).

Thank you for reading!
