Flames and Wicks Candles Review & Giveaway



I love candles. Everyone around here knows that. Everyone here on my blog should know that. So now that you do, let me introduce you to Flames and Wicks. They sent me a wonderful prize package to review and I'm in love.
I was sent the Apple Pie Candle, the Candy Corn Tarts, a Banana Nut Bread Sample Jar, some Spring Rain Tealights(I'm guessing, I thought they smelled like cotton), I also got Winter Wonderland Liquid Potpourri and a Simple Glass Tealight Holder

I love the smell of the Apple Pie candle. It smells yummy, I didn't like that it wasn't full all the way, and it was gone in 3 days! The tealights have a nice faint smell, again I guessed cotton, but they didn't have it on the website, so I'm guessing it was the Spring Rain. They burn pretty well. Last a few hours. 
The tealight holder is simple, but I like that. It's enough to tuck a little smell in somewhere without being distracting. It's nice on our bathroom counter between our sinks. 

The tarts have a funny smell to them. They smell like candy corn, but have a faint under smell, but when they burn they smell just like candy corn and yummy, we have a tart warmer and I'm so glad we did. These are lasting a LONG time, and they're so great now for fall. So yummy, and they are HUGE compared to our other tarts we have by Yankee Candle!

The Banana Nut Bread sample is YUMMY, it only lasted about 5 hours, but it was a sample, it smelled like I was baking. I make BNB often and this smelled just like it.Jon walked in the door and asked me, and I quote, "Did you eat all the banana bread? Where is it?" haha!! No It's the candle, honey.

Liquid Potpourri, I've never tried it before, but it was great. You pour it into the tart warmer and burn it, because it's liquid, once you're done you wipe it up with a paper towel and you're done and ready for a new scent. The thing I don't like about a regular tart is it doesn't pop out so you can't switch out scents. With this you can as often as you'd like.

Price: It all ranges. Their tarts are $2 for 4... $1.50 for the Candy Corn right now! This is SUPER cheap!! The Interlude Candle I got is $9 for a 22oz. The Tealights are $4-$5.50 for a 12 pk. Depends on clear plastic or aluminum.

Overall: ***** love these items. Use them often and they all smell good.

It was so unexpected, but my husband is a HUGE fan of bacon. He's got several blogs just to celebrate all that is bacon. So I'd pick the Bacon Tealights.
