Slatkin & Co. Pumpkin Caramel Latte Candle Review & Pictures

Slatkin & Co. Pumpkin Caramel Latte Candle Review & PicturesDo you like drinking coffee? Or are you like me? I don’t like drinking coffee unless it’s super sweet and has lots of caramel in it. But I love the way it smells! And in the fall when pumpkin flavours come out, all bets are off!

Even though it’s summer (and I love summer), I’m craving the fall. That’s when the best beauty products and fashion make their grand entrance. It’s also when the yummiest pumpkin products hit the supermarket, too. Like that old song by Nu Shooz says, “I can’t wait!”

When I went into the Bath & Body Works store recently, I had to grab the Slatkin & Co. Pumpkin Caramel Latte Candle because it sounded (and smelled) divine. It was also nice how there was a 2 for $30 CAD sale going on.

I really like this super-sweet caramel fragrance – makes my sweet tooth go buck wild! Continue reading

Slatkin & Co. Marshmallow Fireside Candle Review & Pictures

Slatkin & Co. Marshmallow Fireside Candle Review & PicturesInitially I went into Bath & Body Works to pick up the large 3-wick S’mores candle since I already tested out the mini version of it and liked it. But then I got sidetracked and forgot about my main purpose. What else is new?

There it was, beckoning to me with a sweetness that I couldn’t resist! Slatkin & Co. Marshmallow Fireside seemed like a scent that was right up my alley.

After I eagerly popped the top off this baby, I took a whiff of this new fall scent. My nose was greeted with a soft marshmallow scent.

Did I want to marry it? Did I use it as a paperweight? There’s only one way to find out! Continue reading

Slatkin & Co. S’mores Candle Review & Pictures

Slatkin & Co. S'mores Candle Review & PicturesOkay, so I was on a nail-art roll for my last few consecutive posts. Thought that I’d change it up just a little, but keep the food theme going. (I really must be hungry! Hehe…)

Anything with the word s’mores in it immediately gets my attention. C’mon…who doesn’t like yummy marshmallows, chocolate, and graham crackers? It reminds me of all those happy nights by the campfire – great summer memories when I was growing up!

It also reminds me of the time not long ago when I tried to make s’mores using my stove. Let’s just say that it didn’t exactly turn out right. There’s something about holding your marshmallows on a twig over a roaring campside fire that makes it taste delicious.

So when I saw the new Slatkin & Co. S’mores Candle, I was all over it like the hungry beauty wolf that I am. Clearly, gourmand fragrances excite this blogger’s snout.

Since the Bath & Body Works s’mores candle is so new, I could only get my hands on the trial-size, which is a mere 45 g (1.6 oz.)! But that’s okay because unlike the incident I had with the Slatkin & Co. Cotton Candy Candle, at least this time I could test it without having to invest a lot if I didn’t like it.

Did the s’mores scented candle flop, or did it make me flip for joy? There’s only one way to find out! Continue reading

Bath & Body Works Island Margarita PocketBac Sanitizing Hand Gel Review & Pictures

** This post was written by Fiona. She no longer blogs for Swatch And Learn. However, Mary still continues to blog and will be happy to reply to your comment. **

For many, many months, I’d stroll casually into a Bath & Body Works. Just a casual stroll. Never intended to buy anything. (Yeah, right!)

In many locations, I noticed that they had the Bath & Body Works Island Margarita PocketBac Sanitizing Hand Gel as a tester. But I could never find the actual product. I’d rummage through the bins like a mad woman. Like a mad woman, I tell ya! Why would they put it out as a tester if you can’t actually buy it? It’s total temptation.

I think it’s because Island Margarita is a seasonal scent that they stopped putting out at the end of summer last year. But they still had the anti-bacs leftover as testers. This story has a happy ending as I finally got one (OK, five) last month! Do I regret getting so many? Continue reading

The Beauty Products I Can’t Live Without

Products I Use Every DayThere were lots of products that I fell in love with. But sometimes things just weren’t meant to be. They started seeing other people. And they made up lame excuses for sneaking out in the middle of the night. Needless to say, the relationship was cut short.

Of course I was heartbroken, but new products entered my life. Some took me for dinner and a movie. Others serenaded me with a Spanish guitar. And one special product made me feel like the most beautiful woman in the world.

Here are the products that I’ve been faithful to because they’ve never let me down when I needed them. We plan to grow old together and celebrate many happy anniversaries. Continue reading

Slatkin & Co. Pineapple Mango Concentrated Room Spray Review & Pictures

** This post was written by Fiona. She no longer blogs for Swatch And Learn. However, Mary still continues to blog and will be happy to reply to your comment. **

I frequent Bath & Body Works a lot. And a lot… And a lot. OK, fine. The staff greets me by name. They always have sales and new scents out, so how is one to resist? However, I have yet to find a room spray from them that smells better than Slatkin & Co. Pineapple Mango Concentrated Room Spray. It’s an oldie but goodie!

My bottle is actually an old bottle (the design has now changed). I got it a few years back, but I don’t use it much unless something disagrees with my nose. I should use it more often because I LOVE THIS SCENT. It’s so yummy and delicious that it makes me want to lick the air! Continue reading
