I know I really have been waiting to try an ombré style mani for a while and I figured what better time to do....Halloween - Candy corn should be something that a lot of people have done so there should be a dozen tutorials out there.  I found a couple, grabbed my cheap Sally Girl White, Canary yellow and Pumpkin orange ...set up and prepped my nails!  I was totally pleased the way my left hand turned out.  
I know a lot of people will use tape to prevent the mess around the nail but I didn't want to deal with it. 
Anyway I started with white nails...did not matter if it was perfect since it was going to be covered up. A day later I dipped the cosmetic sponge in white, orange, and yellow and voila!

Here's the new fragrances:
Autumn Winds
Ginger Snow Angel
Blue Spruce
Peppermint Kiss
Snow Day
White Pumpkin
 
I will come back to update this post with scent descriptions!
 
I’m back!!!!  Here are the descriptions!
 
Autumn Winds: Spicy woody undertones marry sweetly with the unmistakable and nostalgic aroma of crunchy fallen leaves.
 
Peppermint Kiss: With touches of zingy peppermint, tingly citrus, sweet sugar and warm vanilla blending intoxicatingly, Peppermint Kiss is both bracing and unforgettable.
 
Blue Spruce: Like standing in a magnificent grove of towering evergreens in mid-winter, Blue Spruce yields heady, aromatic conifer notes in abundance.
 
Snow Day: Sparkling, airy and bright, Snow Day creates a magical outdoor ambience, recalling childhood memories of happily-chilled cheeks and deliciously unexpected freedom.
 
White Pumpkin: Creamy, rich and more than a bit mystical, this unique fragrance takes the essence of pumpkin in a sophisticated new direction.
 
Ginger Snow Angel: Whimsy and wonderful embrace in this delightfully cheerful, spicy bakery blend. Comforting ginger, clove, brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg notes abound.
 
All of these descriptions are from the Kringle Candle Company’s website.  Go and check them out!!  Might as well figure out what you want to get for this upcoming fall/holiday! (I know I will be)

Okay so as soon as I heard this was coming out I had to pick it up.  I totally love lemon scents as we all know (and if you are new to the blog, I love Love LOVE lemon scents)  so this was a must for me.  Of course it’s a bright yellow candle and I believe it to be apart of the Italian line that came out this spring.  Now, having tried this candle and other various lemon candles that BBW has put out, I have to say I think this candle smells like another lemon candle that has been out.  Perhaps it’s not the SAME but it’s pretty close.  Seriously, it reminds me a lot of Fresh Lemon.  It’s sweet lemon.  Not a lemonade but something less tart.  I really don’t care because I loved it! Now I didn’t go crazy and stock up but I did grab a couple of them (just to keep on hand).  Let me tell you about this candle’s throw….WOW! I swear sometimes these BBW candles fill my whole house and this one is no exception!  I actually had to blow it out and give it a rest (which is pretty awesome if I must say). BBW described this scent as:

"Cheers! Notes of Sorrento lemons, cane sugar and a hint of lemon zest capture Italy's beloved after-dinner liqueur, Limoncello.”

20130516_645I have to say that I was really impressed with this scent.  I know so many other companies have put these two fragrances together but I think everyone has their own idea as to what it is supposed to smell like.  For me, this is it.  It’s a nice calming and relaxing scent.  Not too herbal but not perfume-y either.  The vanilla is creamy but subtle.  It’s not like a super sugary sweet vanilla or a baking vanilla.  This is a great anytime scent but I like to melt/burn these types of fragrances in the bedroom.  It was not choke you out strong but it had a nice throw and easily filled my great room.  The Kringle website describes this scent as:

“Two classic scents that play well together. Honest, rich Vanilla meets one of the great understated florals.”

Throw: Medium

Worth It: Yes.  I’m not too crazy about lavender, it has to be just the right kind.  I did enjoy this one
