Today's Melt: CBV Cinnamon Donuts

This one smells just like Cinnamon Donuts, with equal parts of cinnamon sugar and dough.  I really love this one and will be repurchasing this. The throw is medium, but maybe it just hasn't cured long enough yet.  I will savor the last 3/4 of it until I get another one. (5/5)

Favorite Fall Lip Product- I absolutely love the CO Bigelow Mentha Supreme 2X Shine Lip Gloss.  I know it is a gloss, but it is an amazing lip balm.  I would probably say the Cinnamint flavor for Fall, but I have the Vanillamint one.  I love it.  Expect a review soon.

Favorite Fall Drink- I love Apple Cider.  I have been drinking multiple glasses every day and i can't get enough.  Amazing.

Favorite Fall Candles- I will tell you a lot of them.  From CBV, I love Leesha, Country Bumpkin, Dutch Apple Crunch, Pumpkin Pear Strudel, Pumpkin Eggnog, Chocolate Chip Cookie, Cinnamon Donuts, Pumpkin Chocolate, Apple Butter Festival and Pumpkin Cider.  From Shayz, Caramelized Apples, Pumpkin Crunch Cookies, Cinnamon Apple Marshmallows, Pound Cake and Pink Tea & Ginger.  From Better Homes and Gardens, I love Warm Autumn Welcome, for Yankee I love Apple Pumpkin and Harvest Welcome.  For Bath and Body Works, I love Pumpkin Cupcake, Leaves, Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin, Cranberry Woods and French Baguette.

Favorite Halloween Movie- Hocus Pocus.  I love Bette Midler, one of the best performers of all time and her performance is nothing short of awesome.  Sarah Jessica Parker gives the childish stupidity hilarity, instead of being irritating and Kathy Najimy is very good as well.  It is about 3 witches who are brought back from the dead, they can only live until the end of Halloween, so they want to once again make the potion that lets them suck the life out of the children who drink it, keeping them alive and young forever.  Definitely worth watching and fun for all.

Favorite Candies- Twix, Milky Way, Skittles, Ghiradelli Chocolate, Crunch with Caramel, Caramel, M&Ms and Krackle.

Halloween Costume 2012- Animal from the Muppets.

Favorite Thing About Fall- This is really hard.  I love all of the candle scents, but I also love cider and all of the fall landscaping.  As a performer, I love Halloween.  I love to pretend to be other things than who I am , but getting to take it off and be myself at the end.  I have always loved the fall season and I always will.  The scenes are picturesque, the weather is beautiful and the air is amazing.

Today's Melt: Warm Autumn Welcome

Today, I am melting Warm Autumn Welcome from Better Homes & Gardens.  It smells like spiced pumpkin and fresh air.  This is the one that people say smells like Harvest Welcome from Yankee, I can't say yay or nay but if it is accurate, I will be getting some of those tarts during the next sale where tarts are $1.  I really like this, a great fall scent.  A Yankee SA told me there will probably be a tart sale for Veteran's Day.  I will definitely get some of the harvest Welcome if it smells like this.  When I get/smell it, I will tell you in the haul if it smells like this.  (4.5/5)

Shayz Scentz Update

I will do the Today's Melt part at the end of the day, once I determine the strength, longevity and overall quality of my first melted Shayz tart.

Blueberry Cheesecake- This one smells like strong blueberry and a bit of cheesecake.  I hope the cheesecake comes out more when it is melting.  (3.5/5)
Pumpkin Cookies- This one is pretty equal on pumpkin and sugar cookie, no spice and it doesn't smell very strong.  (4/5)
Pink Pie- I get both notes at the same time and pretty equally.  This smells really nice, but it doesn't smell strong.  I already smelled Pumpkin Crunch Cookie and it smells strong.  I don't know what it is with the pumpkin scents I got, with the exception of PCC, they smell weak.  (4/5)
Warm Pink Vanilla Sugar- The first thing I get is the raspberry from the Pink Sugar and then the Warm Vanilla Sugar scent which smells just like the one from Bath and Body Works!  (4/5)
Cinnamon Buns- This smells nice, but not quite like I wanted it to.  It smells like cinnamon and a bit of icing.  I get no bun scent.  (3/5)
Cinnamon Apple Berry- They should just call this Apple Berry.  It smells like a perfect blend of apple and berry.  I really like this one!  (4/5)
Pink Tea & Ginger- This just smells like a perfect sweet tea.  Just enough tea to be called a tea scent without smelling like an herbal scent with just enough sweetness to tell there is something sweet, but it blends flawlessly.  This is like something from the CBV Black Label Line, perfect blend of a lot of different scents.  (4/5)
Pink Lilac- This smells a lot less perfumey than it did when I got it.  It is a nice blend of the two notes, perfect for spring.  (3.5/5)
Minty Pink- The candy cane smell is the strongest note but you can definitely smell the pink sugar.  I love this one and will definitely melt this in the winter.  (5/5)
Pink Lavender Supreme- The herbal lavender overtakes this blend, I don't get much Pink Sugar.  Maybe it will come out more when it is warm.  (3/5)
Pound Cake- A buttery, rich pound cake scent with a hint of caramel.  I really love this one, so if you want a pain pound cake, I would go with this one.  (5/5)
Apple Mint Jelly- The mint overtakes and the apple gives it an undertone of "meh."  It's okay, I would not repurchase this.  (2/5)
Caramelized Lemons- This should be called caramelized fruit loops.  This frustrates me, I always smell fruit loops instead of citrus in scents like this.  (4/5)
Cranberry- This smells like cough medicine.  I hate to say this, but I can't do this one.  It's not unbearable, I just don't like it. (1.5/5)
Caramelized Apples- It just smells like the caramel from Caramelized Pralines.  (4/5)
Pumpkin Apples- This smells like CBV Pumpkin Cider.  I wonder if it is the same oil?  (4/5)
Pink Pumpkin- I smell the Pink and the spice.  It is really nice.  (3.5/5)
Blueberry Buttermilk Pancakes- Smells the same as Blueberry Cheesecake, but replace the cheesecake with pancake.  (4/5)
Cinnamon Apple Marshmallows- Smells just like the name.  I really like this one.  (4/5)
Pumpkin Crunch Cookies- It;s in the warmer right now,so I'll save the warm review for later.  On cold, it smells like Pumpkin Cookies with whipped cream.  I like this one better. (4.5/5)
Pink Sugar- Smells like sweet raspberry with extra sugary sweetness.  (4/5)
Pink Mousse- A very creamy berry with extra sweetness from the Pink.  (3.5/5)
Pink Berry- I don't why she calls this a berry scent and the description says pear.  It is a strong pear with a sweeter undertone.  (5/5)
Pinkened Pomegranate- Smells like the Pink Mousse scent.  I don't know why.  (3.5/5)
Pink Vanilla Berry Cobbler- Smells like the name implies.  It is a berry enhanced pink with a pie crust.  (4/5)
Gingersnap- I can't really describe this one and don't want to give it another sniff.  I don't like this one.  (2/5)
Pink Marshmallows- I get a pink with a cream note.  (4/5)
Wildberry Mousse- True berries and whipped cream.  (5/5)

Today's Melt: BH&G Candied Caramel Pecan

This one is really nice.  I have it going in my Sassy Scentsationals warmer from Wal Mart.  It has a medium throw and smells different warm than cold.  The pecan comes out a bit more warm, so it is the nice balance where the nuttiness and the caramel don't overpower each other, while most Caramelized Pralines scents I have smelled (like the CBV one) are really strong on the praline and not enough caramel.  I really like this one and will probably repurchase this if I ever find it again.  It smells great, the throw is good and it has lasted a while.  Great product.  (4/5)

Hillbilly Wax Haul: BH&G

Today, I went to Walmart and got 5 clamshell tarts from Better Homes and Gardens.  I thought I would share it with you.

Mulberry Plum Spice- Smells like the Vampire Blood hand soap with a tiny bit of cinnamon.
Warm Autumn Welcome- This is the one people say smells like Yankee Harvest Welcome, but I can't say yay or nay on that.  I think it smells like a spiced pumpkin a it of sweetness and a fresh air scent in the background.
Sugared Melon Kiwi- I heard somewhere this one is hard to find, so I had to get it.  The first thing I get a slightly candied watermelon and then what I think is a kiwi scent.
Candied Caramel Pecan- You might be thinking, how is that any different than Caramelized Pralines?  It smells like the caramel from CP, with almost no praline.  It just smells like the part of CP i like.
Iced Carrot Cake- I know Jdazzler15 raved about this and I can see what she is talking about.  It smells like a spicy cake with a little bit of cream cheese frosting.

LUSH Christmas Overview! Feat 8 New Hair Products and Halloween

Before I start, I would like to say that I have not tried any of these products yet, so all of the information is condensed from the Lush Times (American one), www.lushusa.com (for Halloween products and Retro Christmas) and lush.co.uk (for hair product info).  I hope you enjoy this overview.

                  In Store Christmas Items (Information from the LUSH Times USA)

Twilight Shower Gel- This is a shower gel scented with the scent of the Twilight Bath Bomb, so anybody who loves the bath bomb should stock up, this is only for Christmas!  I know I will be getting some. ($9.95, $18.95, $27.95)
So White Bath Bomb- The famous bath bomb is back and bigger!  This one is 6.3oz instead of the smaller one they usually have for Christmas.  It is scented of red apples and this year, it has a pink center!  I want to get this one for a cocktail with Cinders to make an Apple Cider bath! ($6.35)
Midnight Massage Massage Bar- A massage bar scented with jasmine.  If you love massage bars and jasmine, I would recommend purchasing this.  I am not a huge jasmine fan, but I like Silky Underwear.  This might be really nice paired with the Silky Underwear Dusting Powder. ($9.95)
North Pole Soap- I think this is supposed to be a replacement for the Candy Cane soap from last year.  The white is scented with chocolate and the pink is scented with a woody, minty scent.  I'm not sure if I would purchase this, I would have to smell it in the store first. ($6.95 for 3.5oz)
Snow Globe Soap- The beloved soap is back!  I know VintageChic1927 and Khrystyn14 from YouTube both love this soap!  It says that it smells of lemon, grapefruit and yland ylang.  If anything, I will get a small piece of this, I don't really take showers in the morning.  ($7.95 for 3.5oz)
Rocket Reusable Bubble Bar- I don't take baths enough to warrant getting a reusable bubble bar, so I probably won't be getting this.  It says that it smells of violets, and I don't really like florals.  I will still smell it, but I won't be buying this one.  ($9.95)
Christmas Eve Bubble Bar- The famous bubble bar is back this year!  I really want to try this one!  It smells of relaxing jasmine and ylang ylang.  ($7.25)
Snowcake Soap- This soap smells like almond icing.  I will probably not buy this, I don't like almond scents.  I know a lot of people love this soap though.  ($7.95 for 3.5oz)
Melting Snowman Bath Melt- This bath melt really looks like a melting snowman!  It looks adorable, and I can't wait to try it out!  It smells of cinnamon, clove and lime.  ($5.95)
Candy Mountain Bubble Bar- This bubble bar is back.  It is scented like Creamy Candy and is pink and green swirl this year.  Unless you like the way this looks more than the Creamy Candy, I wouldn't get this, it is the same size, but more expensive.  I'm sure it smells amazing, though.  ($7.25)
Santa's Sack Bubble Bar- The sack is a bubble bar and it has two small reusable bubble bars inside it.  This one is very spicy, so I would only recommend this one if you like heavy spice.  ($9.95)
Sandy Santa Sugar Scrub- This is a sugar scrub shaped and colored like a Santa Claus.  It smells like Brazilian orange, rosewood and sandalwood.  I don't like solid sugar scrubs, so I probably won't purchase this unless it smells over the top amazing. ($5.95)
Snow Fairy Shower Gel- The famous candy floss shower gel is back with even better packaging!  I will probably be getting at least a small bottle of it if it smells nice. ($9.95, $18.95, $27.95)
Buche de Noel Facial Cleanser- The facial cleanser is back.  It has almonds, satsumas and cranberries.  It is supposed to be moisturizing for dry skin in the winter.  It says that is a holiday version of Angels on Bare Skin, which I am not a fan of, so I will probably not be purchasing this.  ($12.95 for 3.5oz)\
Father Christmas Bath Bomb- This clove and vanilla bath bomb turns your water from red to green and puts out red glitter.  I am not a fan of clove, so I may not buy this one. ($6.40)
Let The Good Times Roll Facial Cleanser- An exfoliating, toffee scented facial cleanser with popcorn in it.  I am good with my Clinique face wash so I won't be buying this one.  ($12.95 for 3.5oz)
Magic Wand Reusable Bubble Bar- A reusable bubble bar scented with Snow Fairy.  You just swish it around in the water and then turn on the water and it makes bubbles.  According to VintageChic1927, the bubbles are more fizzy than smooth.  ($9.95)
Angel's Delight Soap- Orange and tangerine soap in a colorful soap.  ($5.95 for 3.5oz)
Golden Wonder Bath Bomb- A bath bomb with the Snowshowers scent.  Turns the water a pretty green color.  ($6.95)
Ponche Shower Gel- A shower gel inspired by Mexican fruity party punch.  ($9.95, $18.95, $27.95)
Party Popper Bath Bomb- Scented like ginger champagne, colored with pink and blue and releasing soap flakes that you can use to wash yourself.  The soap fakes are scented like honeydew and releasing popping candy into the water for that Rice Krispys sound.  ($5.95)
Bubblebeard Reusable Bubble Bar- A moustache bubble bar scented with lavender and sandalwood.  Must be very relaxing.  ($9.95)
Crackersnap Bath Bomb- A lemongrass bath bomb that turns your water bright green.  It may have some other surprises inside... ($9.95)

Today's Melt: Apple Butter Festival

This scent is a mix of Apple Cinnamon Butter and Kettle Corn.  I got this as my free scent shot in my Fall order.  I really like this one more warm than on cold.  On cold it just smelled like the ACB scent, but the Kettle Corn comes out more as an unsalted, unbuttered popcorn under the ACB.  It is really nice and a good surprise, since I hate kettle corn to eat and to smell.  (4.5/5)

Today's Melt: Pumpkin Chocolate

This scent is really nice. A lot of chocolate and a bit of pumpkin.  The chocolate is a milk chocolate and the pumpkin is not a spicy pumpkin.  I really like this and it lasted a long time.  (4/5)

Shayz Scentz Haul!

Today I got in my Shayz Scentz order.  I placed this a little over a week ago and I just received it a little while ago.  I made an order with my mother and we both got scents.  I will start with the free tart cups.  If you spend $25 you get free shipping and 3 free tart cups of your choice.  I did not get any other samples and that is perfectly okay.  All of the scents I ordered are in the tart cups.  I will specify which ones were gifted for free and which ones belong to my mother.  I paid for all of the other ones with my own money.  I will make a post-curing review in 2 weeks.

Pink Sugar- I got a lot of Pink blends in this order, so I wanted to have a regular Pink Sugar so I know what it smells like and to have for other mixing.  I smell the caramel and the raspberry first, then cotton candy and a tiny undertone of lemon.  I can tell this hasn't cured quite yet but I am loving it! (4/5)

Pink Lilac- This was one of my free tart cups.  I smell both the Pink Sugar and the lilac but the lilac is slightly stronger than the Pink Sugar.  Lilac is my favorite flower and I can tell this one is going to be really strong.  It will be amazing in the spring time!  (3/5)

Minty Pink- I saw VintageChic1927 on YouTube raving about this and a similar scent (Pink Peppermint from Tiffany Candes) and had to pick it up.  I can tell right off the bat both why she loves it and why she likes to sleep with it on.  This smells amazing.  The peppermint is the strongest note and it gives a cooling sensation when you smell it.  I think the peppermint is a candy cane type smell, not just a straight peppermint, it has some creaminess.  I smell the Pink Sugar too, it just isn't as strong as the mint.  This is the best one I've smelled so far!  (5/5)

Pink Lavender Supreme- This is one of my free tart cups.  The lavender is definitely the strongest note, but the Pink Sugar is there just sweetening it up in the background.  I would love it more if the Pink Sugar came out more.  (3/5)

Pinkened Pomegranate- It smells like Bath and Body Works Midnight Pomegranate with an undertone of Pink Sugar.  (4.5/5)

Pink Berry- The Pink Sugar is all I can smell, but the berries in the berry scent bring out the raspberry jam scent in the Pink Sugar.  I think if it stays like this, I will prefer this to Pink Sugar. (4.5/5)

Warm Pink Vanilla Sugar- The Warm Vanilla Sugar is stronger than the Pink Sugar but the Pink Sugar gives the Warm Vanilla Sugar a fruity note.  (4.5/5)

Pink Tea & Ginger- This scent is very complex and blended very well.  I can't pick out many individual notes, but I would have to say it smells like a Teavana tea that has fruits and sugar in it.  (4.5/5)

Pink Mousse-This smells like Pink Berry but with more creaminess to it.  (4.5/5)

Pink Vanilla Berry Cobbler- This one smells like sugary berries with a baked crust note.  (5/5)

Pink Pumpkin- Smells like Pink Sugar and strong cinnamon.  Not red hot cinnamon though.  The cinnamon is stronger than the Pink Sugar in this one.  If you like Pink blends and want a fall one, get this one.  (3.5/5)

Pink Pie- This smells like pumpkin pie with a bit of Pink Sugar in the background.  (4/4)

Pink Marshmallows- This is the Pink blend in this order, promise.  This smells really nice, it smells like super sugary marshmallows with a hint of fruit.  (5/5)

Cinnamon Apple Berry- This one is a Yankee dupe.  I have never smelled the Yankee scent though.  Smells like apples and berries with a bit of spice.  I really like this and will burn some of it before fall leaves.  (4.5/5)

Cranberry- A very nice cranberry scent.  Medium tartness and seems really strong. (4/5)

Apple Mint Jelly- This is surprisingly nice.  This is the perfect balance of apple and peppermint.  I wasn't expecting much from this scent, but this is really nice.  (3/5)

Pumpkin Crunch Cookies- Smells like a pumpkin mixed with a cookie.  This cookie is not sugar cookie, it is a richer cookie.  There is no spice to be found, just a nice pumpkin cookie with a bit of whipped cream. (4.5/5)

Wildberry Mousse- This is another scent VintageChic1927 raved about and I adore this scent.  It smells like assorted berries, not candied berries, with cream.  Awesome.  (5/5)

Caramelized Lemons- This would be a great kitchen scent.  I can tell that VintageChic1927 would love this scent.  The perfect balance of caramel and lemon zest with a touch of Fruit Loops.  (4.5/5)

Pumpkin Apples- I thought that this would be a nice dupe of Yankee's Apple Pumpkin and I was wrong.  This is very strong on the macintosh apple with very minimal pumpkin.  I like it but it wasn't what I was looking for.  (3/5)

Blueberry Cheesecake- A lot of blueberry with a creamy background.  (4/5)

Pumpkin Cookies- Smells just like Pumpkin Crunch Cookies, but the cookie is more sugary.  (4.5/5)

Pound Cake- An amazing cakey, buttery, rich pound cake scent.  No fruit to be found.  This is amazing for bakery lovers!  (5/5)

Cinnamon Buns- A red hot cinnamon with a bit of bakery.  I hope the bakery comes out more after curing. (2.5/5)

Cinnamon Apple Marshmallows- An apple cinnamon with a vanilla background.  Not a marshmallow vanilla, just a normal vanilla ice cream vanilla.  I like it, but I was expecting more marshmallow. (3/5)

Caramelized Apples- Smells like the caramel from CBV Caramelized Pralines with some spicy apple.  I really like this one.  (4/5)

Gingersnap- I smell just ginger, no cookie right now, and i only like ginger with the cookie note.  (2/5)

Blueberry Buttermilk Pancakes- I smell the blueberry, I smell the buttermilk pancakes and I don't smell any syrup.  I wanted more of that maple syrup note, but I'll see after it cures. (3.5/5)

Those were all of the scents that I got, now for the ones that my mother ordered.

Monkey Farts- Fake banana and bubblegum.  I hate to say I hate it, but I realy don't like this scent.  If this is what monkey farts smell like, I am never getting a monkey. (1/5)

Banana Nut Bread- Smells awesome!  The bread and slight nuttiness make the banana less fake.  (4/5)

Apple Butter & Caramel- A caramel scent with a bit of apple and spice.  (3/5)

Blueberry Cobbler- Smells like the Blueberry Cobbler I got from Sweet Fixations, heavily blueberry scent with some breadiness, almost pancakey and a bit of cinnamon.  (3.5/5)

Red Velvet Cake- I don't know what Red Velvet Cake is supposed to smell like, but this smells nice.  I smell the frosting, I don't know what kind (maybe cream cheese?) and some general cakey goodness. (3.5/5)

Snickerdoodle- For some reason, this one is blue.  This smells like what I wanted Gingersnap to smell like.  I'm sure she will love this, her favorite coffee is the Snickerdoodle coffee at Bagel Boys.  (4/5)

Doodle Cookies- Smells like Snickerdoodle but more buttery.  (4/5)

Amish Bread- It smells like raisins and bread with no cinnamon and a hint of nuttiness.  (3/5)

Pumpkin Cookies- Already did this one, she got it too.

Cinnamon Raisin Bread- Smells like the Pepperidge Farm Cinnamon Raisin Bread.  (4/5)

Mom's Lemon Meringue Pie- Fruit Loops.  I don't know why all citrus bakery scents are starting to smell like Fruit Loops to me!  GAH! (4.5/5)

Fresh Oranges- If Citronella was orange scented, it would smell like this.  (2/5)

Cappucino Brulee- Strong coffee with an undertone of fake chocolate.  If there was a Starbucks inside of Willy Wonka's chocolate factory, it would smell like this.  (2/5)

That is it for this review and I will write to you guys later!

Mall Haul (10/6/12) Feat. Bath & Body Works, Yankee Candle, American Eagle, Clinique, Levis and Old Navy

Today I went to the mall and bought a bunch of stuff.  None of it was gifted by the stores (except a little bag of samples from the Clinique counter because I spent over $23.50 there) and all opinions are my own.

I will start with my Bath and Body Works stuff.  I used a 20% off coupon.  All of this stuff from BBW was about $45, which is a steal for the amount of stuff I got.  I got the buy 3 get three for the Signature Collection body care.  I got the Warm Vanilla Sugar Triple Moisture Body Cream which smells like a very sweet comforting vanilla scent with a bit of caramel.  I also got that scent in the Creamy Body Wash, which I prefer over the Shea Infused Shower Gels.  I got another Triple Moisture Body Cream in Midnight Pomegranate, which smells like pomegranate with a bit of anise, but not that black licorice type anise, almost like a blackcurrant type anise.  Midnight Pomegranate and Warm Vanilla Sugar are my 2 favorite Signature scents from the all year round line.  I got my sister another Paris Amour Shower Gel and for a holiday gift, I got her a Fine Fragrance Mist in Paris Amour.  Paris Amour, according to the official description (I can't tell what it smells like without spraying it and I don't want to do that, I don't like that scent but my sister does.) smells like tulips, apple blossoms and champagne.  To match the shower gel I have, I got a body lotion in Sweet on Paris.  It smells like a creamy lemon with blackberries.  It is my favorite from the Paris body care line.  I got one hand soap in Vampire Blood.  I got the one in the container that looks like a vampire.  It was on sale for $5 instead of the regular ten.  It is the deep cleansing formula.  It says it smells like plum, I don't know what plums smell like, but I can describe it as a fruity scent that is a fall fruit, not a summer tropical fruit scent.  I really like it and it will look awesome in my bathroom for the fall.  Here is a picture of it on the BBW website.  http://www.bathandbodyworks.com/product/index.jsp?productId=13115303&cp=12587004.12936131.4191861.  I got the 5 for $5 Pocket Bac hand sanitizers. The first one I got is Vanilla Bean Noel.  My store had the Christmas signature scents in Pocket Bac and lip gloss form.  It is safe to say, I will go back to the store with the free Signature item coupon I received and buy this in shower gel and lotion.  It smells amazing!  It is like a sugar cookie with some caramel on it.  It is awesome!  The second scent I got is Fresh Picked Pears.  My newest scent obsession is pear and that is what this smells like, just a pear.  It is amazing!  I got one in Warm Vanilla Sugar and one in Midnight Pomegranate, I already described those scents.  The last one I got is Fresh Picked Blackberries, which just smells like blackberries and I love it!  I also got two Pocket Bac Holders.  I got a black one and a glow in the dark green/blue one.

I went to Yankee to see if their Holiday scents were out and they were!  Just something, the sales associate told me they are probably having a tart sale over Veterans Day week.  I will be going and getting a few.  The only tart I got (I hate paying full price for them) is Peppermint Bark which smells like an Andes mint.  I wanted to get these to see if it is a dud or not so I can know if I should repurchase it during the next sale.  I am in love with this scent, so I hope the CBV one also smells like it.

I went to the Clinique counter to get a moisturizer.  I got the Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion.  Because I spent over $23.50 I got a free bag full of samples.  It had a little lotion, the same one I bought, Take The Day Off Makeup Remover, an eyeshadow/blush palette that I think is a full size product, Almost Lipstick in Black Honey and High Impact Mascara samples that my mom and sister split.  It came in a cut case and had a smaller case inside.  I kept the little moisturizer though.

Now for my first ever clothing review.  I went to American Eagle and got two pairs of slim khakis.  I got one in a true bright red and one in a true bright blue.  I also got two long sleeve shirts.  The first one has black and ocean blue stripes and the second one has a dark maroon base with thin black and slate grey stripes spaced far apart.  I also went to Old Navy and got $20 SuperCash with my purchases, which is awesome!  I got a bright blue sweatshirt which I already wore out today.  I got three long sleeve shirts.  The first one is teal and darker teal stripes, the second one is a solid bright orange and the second one is a solid maroon.  I got a Collectibilitee with an M&M on it.  It says "Inside, everyone is a little nut!"  I also got a thermal shirt in a dark teal, lagoon color.  At Macy's I got 4 pairs of jeans.  3 from Levi's and one from Epic Threads.  I'll start with the Levi's jeans.  I got a slim straight pair of jeans in a very dark blue color, a straight fit in a medium grayish blue and a skinny pair in a dark blue wash with some gold going through under the blue, making the blue as well as the gold pop out more.  The pair from Epic Threads is a skinny, that is dark blue with some light blue.

That was all I got at the mall today, I hope you all have a good night!

Today's Melt: Yankee Kitchen Spice Tart

Today, I am melting the Kitchen Spice tart from Yankee Candle.  It smells very spicy.  I get mostly clove and then some cinnamon and maybe a nutmeg or ginger.  This one happens to be strong and long lasting.  I will definitely repurchase this one next time the tarts are on sale when I'm there.  This one is good quality, so if you like the scent, I will definitely recommend it to you.

What I'm Melting: CBV Pumpkin Cheesecake

This one didn't change when melting, it still just smells like a spiced pumpkin scent with no cheesecake.  I don't know if it didn't cure long enough but I'm going to wait a while before melting it again and tell you what I think then.  (3/5)
