For Candle Connoisseurs: Under Milk Wood

Tom Daxon Under Milk Wood Candle

This is the first of what will no doubt be a whole slew of candle-related posts; it’s getting nearer to Christmas and I’m working up to filming my annual candle video again! Tom Daxon’s Under Milk Wood definitely makes the final cut – it has the most gorgeously delicate sandalwood fragrance, warm and musky but not too overpowering on the woody notes. It’s a very feminine sandalwood – it reminds me of Tom Ford’s Santal Blush, which has an almost “creamy” woodiness to it. Light and exotic rather than dark and masculine.

Tom Daxon is rather niche – you can find the fragrances at Liberty, but I haven’t seen the candles anywhere on my shopping travels, only online. A nice brand to search out, then, if you’re a candle connoisseur (or buying for one) and want something a bit different. It’s definitely a luxury buy but the fragrance is top quality and the presentation is just lovely – a dark glass jar that looks black in daylight but is a deep, midnight blue when the flame is lit and the glow shines through it.

You can find Tom Daxon’s candles online here, Under Milk Wood is priced at £55.

Glamorous Makeup for Brown Eyes

Hello my lovely Makeup Geeks! Today I am doing a look for all your brown eyed girls out there. I didn’t get a chance to do this when I did the other eye colors and I have had a lot of request for it. Today I have Jessica with me who is our lovely model for the day. This sweet pink and silver look is stunning and brings out the hues in brown eyes amazingly. This combination of silver and pinks is one of my favorite combinations as it is sophisticated while still being girly at the same time. :-) So pull out all your silvers and pinks and lets get going on this look.
