It's that time of the year again where all the spring/summer releases are slowly coming out and we can think about pastels and bright colours again! As usual, Flamingo Candles new range doesn't disappoint and there is definitely a scent for everyone.
Flamingo Candles, who I have mentioned at least 20 times on my blog by now, are a British company that is based in South Wales and has been around since 2013. They use only natural soy wax and cotton wicks, every candle is also hand poured by the Flamingo team! Their original jars have the trademark Florrie the Flamingo on but more recently they have added a lot of new and fun designs too. You can find them at many trade shows and fairs - to keep up to date with where they are going next follow them on their Instagram, Facebook and Twitter.
Vanilla & Ylang Ylang - I am rather fond of the original jars with Florrie the flamingo on. It's where the brand started and obviously where they got the name from, so I was glad this was included! When I first saw the name I will admit I wasn't overly excited as ylang ylang can be quite strong. On a side note did you know ylang ylang is actually a star shaped tropical flower that originates from Indonesia? When I gave it a good sniff I realised how wrong I was, the vanilla compliments it perfectly and it's such a warming, calming scent. If you leave the lid off it makes your room smell amazing too.
Purple Queen Bunny Kisses - My favourate all time Flamingo Candle. Not only do I love the packaging (I have a thing for bunnies!) but the scent is absolutely perfect. It's rhubarb and custard scented which, lets be honest, nobody can hate? It totally reminds me of childhood sweets and my Mum stewing rhubarb too! Also, the acrylic motif this year is on point. Give that bunny a crown. FYI, it comes in 3 different pastel shades! It can be quite intense so if you're prone to headaches it might not be the scent for you, or remember to open a window whilst burning it if you can't resist.
Rainbow Candy - I recently saw this in Candle Scentral and totally fell in love with it. Rainbows, stars and pastel colours - the best things in life. I thought the scent would be very similar to Unicorn Dreams but it smells EXACTLY like Skittles!! Which is fitting since their slogan is 'Taste The Rainbow". Again you can get this in pink and yellow too. Something I do like about these jars is that the lids all correspond to the little emblem!
Strawberry Ice Cream - As you can imagine this smells like strawberry ice cream, although if I could compare it to anything I would say its a McDonalds strawberry milkshake and we all know that's the best kind! In fact, I am craving one now, damn it. A really nice summer scent especially with the sweet little ice cream on the front. It's got a pretty good throw on it too considering its a nice light fragrance.
Apple Lemon Butter " Seek Magic Everyday" - A fun little tin that smells strongly of fresh apples and lemons. If you like apple scents then your going to love this! My boyfriend said it's his favourate one. The tins always burn really well and I like that they all have uplifting quotes on them, such a lovely daily reminder.
Which is your favourate? Have you tried Flamingo Candles before? If you haven't, where have you been? The jars are £12 and burn up to a staggering 50 hours, the tins are £8.50 and burn up to 40.
Don't forget to come find me on my social media, I love finding new blogging friends :)

How cute are these! I love the funky pastel colours and little logos on them. I'd love to get myself a few of them, they're definitely going on my birthday wishlist just in time for Summer!
