Living Light Soy Travel Tin Review

Ok this little candle is amazing, I received the Pohutukawa scented candle in the NZ brands BBBE, as much as I love beauty products I think this is an awesome addition to the beauty box.

This comes in a small silver tin with a screw top lid it has a red coloured label on it that matches in with the tin and red flowers from a Pohutukawa tree.

The scent reads citrus, berries and spice and this is exactly what it is, especially the berries and spice. It says on the tin 18 hours burn time. Well I have had this going 18 hours and I'm pretty sure I could easily squeeze another 5 hours out.

After an hour of burn time I get a berry and spice scent lingering in the kitchen. We have a rather large kitchen and dining area so it can take a while for a scented candle to come to life. The scent isn't overly strong or overpowering it's quite mellow, I do prefer stronger scents so this might be perfect if unlike me, you prefer the not so strong scents. I really do adore the scent but just wish it was a tad stronger. It lingers in the room for about 30 minutes after I stop burning it.

A lovely candle but unsure if I will repurchase.

A candle in the Best Beauty Box Ever was the icing on the cake for me... I have been longing to buy a Living Light soy candle and even better is the scent that arrived in my pack... Pohutukawa!! It is so beautifully soft and yet so familiar and inviting.

The small metal tin meant my candle was safe from bumps and knocks and the scent stayed fresh. The soft scent is hard to pinpoint exactly, it has a warm spice kind of hint to it but more like a subtle gingerbread, a sweet aroma with maybe a hint of lemon... or citrus of a kind. It's very beautiful and enticing.

I imagined the candle to be smaller (pleasantly surprised there) and it takes up the whole tin. It burns well and melts the wax evenly, part and parcel due to the heat absorption of the tin itself. I wouldn't sit this on any painted surfaces as the heat could damage it. I don't think I quite got 18hrs of burning but it would have been pretty close. I wish I could afford to justify buying these more often as they are simply divine

So happy to see this little tin of Living Light candle in the NZ Brand Best Box Beauty Ever box, I have been a fan of Living Light for a while and have a couple of their candles already so knew this was going to be awesome.

Coming the the scent "Relax" this little tin candle, which unfortunately got overused because I loved it so much I kept on lighting it, is a blend of relaxing fragrances like lavender and patchouli, with the lavender being the most noticeable. It truly was a candle to relax by, making my room fill up with wonderful aromas that allowed me to sit back, chill and be totally at one with the universe for that brief moment of the day. If you suffer from stress and the inability of being able to switch off you need this candle, it sort of forces you to.

Designed to be a travel candle, in comes in a resealable screw top little tin that would be very practical to pop into an overnight bag or even if you are really fancy and have a caravan to pop in there. The wax once the wick is snuffed out returns to a solid state pretty quickly, which might be because there isn't much in the tins but it makes it more easy to get and go whilst on holiday.

As I mentioned above I used it up pretty quickly but then I did have it on for probably 4-6 for the first 3 days of owning it, for it to be bone dry of any wax by day 4. I'm a bit impulsive and greedy like that, but the fragrance was that good I wanted to keep it lit all the time.

I've loved burning this candle, the packaging is so cute. It is a small candle in a cute tin. I have this in the scent pohutakawa, it smells very christmasy and spicy. I have this burning for a couple of hours at a time, as I find that is all I need for the scent to waft through our living area. I think it is a nice treat to use, but I am used to purchasing larger candles, which work out to be a bit more economical.

Before I received this in our BRBB NZ brands, I never knew that this exsisted. So glad I know now! The scent I received is called Kitchen. It is a blend of Bergamot, lemongrass and rosemary. Such a fresh fragrance, fill my whole apartment.

The candle come in a gorgeous blue and white tin that fits with my decor. I sit the tin on a glass coaster and light it.

They say it will burn for 18 hours, I havent had it going for that long, but it seems that it will last that lenght of time. Good value for money.

These candles in a tin are available in a variety of different fragrances. I am keen to try more of these.

I got this in the first BBE ever released. I'm really happy with the scent I got - Pohutukawa. This is such a beautiful festive scent for Christmas. It smells like a mix of berries and spices with a hint of citrus. Now the scent has quite the staying power honestly I don't need to light it to get the aroma. I can just put it on the it on the table and next to me or the beside table the scent just wafts in the air. All I need to to do is make sure that when I'm done I screw the lid on tightly.

The burn time is supposed to be eighteen hours with this candle that comes to about a dollar per hour and while I have discovered wax melts to be more cost effective, this isn't too expensive in price for a good candle with a layered scent. The tin can get really hot when it burns so I would recommend placing a sauce underneath it to protect any furniture. I haven't gotten to the end of the candle yet but if I hadn't discovered wax melts I would've repurchased this scent in a larger size.

I got the travel size tin of this in my Beauty Review box. I've never tried or even heard of this brand before that. I've started being more of a candle person so it was definitely something I was looking forward to trying out.

The packaging of this is quite unique, to me. All my other candles are in glass jars but this one is in a little tin. I really like how it looks, almost rustic I guess. This has orange labelling, orange always screams citrus to me so I think this colour is the perfect choice.

The scent of this is very much as described. It smells slightly herbal, but definitely has the sweet orange sweet overtop of that. It smells nice before it is lit and when it is lit, it scents up my room nicely and within the first hour or so which I think is pretty good.

The big downside to me, came just now actually. I had it burning this morning (after using about half of it previously), and I noticed it had gone out. The wick had fallen over and won't support itself so it had gone back into the wax and went out. I have no way of making this stand on it's own again so sadly this candle is done for me. I did enjoy the scent while I was using it but I wouldn't go out and purchase this because I would hate for that to happen again.

This little tin with the candle in is a real gem.It is a cute round tin and the one I received in my Beauty Box was a kitchen one with lemon grass, rosemary and bergamot scent. The tin is a silver tin with a screw top lid. This tin has lovely light aqua label with a dark aqua strip and white writing.Made in NZ and pure soy wax. The scent is lovely and gives 8 hours of burn time which is amazing for the size and having a lid is so practical when you want the candle to stop burning.It eliminates that horrible smell when the wick is snuffed out. The scent of this is really lovely and lightly permeates the room. I love it on before I go to bed as I find it relaxes me totally.

I love that this candle is fragranced with essential oils, however, the scent is hardly there. I had high hopes for this candle but I was disappointed that you could hardly smell it at all. I have this candle in revive which is meant to smell like lime, orange and grapefruit. The citrus scents are very light and fresh, and combine to give a lovely scent. I can only really smell this when I bend down to smell the candle though. When it's lit the scent is very weak and doesn't travel well. You can hardly smell it even when you sit right next to it within a metre.

I also love that this candle is made from pure soy wax. This is meant to last longer and have a longer burn time. And so far I think it will last quite a long time. It says it has up to 18 hours of burn time and I expect this candle will last for 18 hours. So far mine has been burning for about 4 hours and looking inside the tin hardly any of the soy wax has disappeared.

This candle comes in a cute little tin, about the size of the old fashioned tins hard boiled sweets used to come in that you used to be able to buy. The tin is a nice size and would be good for traveling as you can screw the lid back on.

Overall I was very disappointed with this candle and will not be repurchasing this.

I picked up one of these wee candles in the BeautifuL Christmas Advent Calendar in a scent wouldn't have chosen myself and didn't 100% love, but I can't fault the candles. The scent I got, Revive, was pleasant, just a really citrussy ' refresher' blend and I prefer to use candles for relaxation after work :)

These candle come in cute wee tins, which mean they can be covered over if need be and offer an alternative to the common thick glass jars. I was a little more concerned (whether or not that was legitimate) about these getting hotter, so set it on top of another candle plate i have to be safe. The candle burned cleanly, and for an acceptable length of time given the size. I didn't time it but I wasn't left wondering where it had gone, either.

Extinguishing didn't cause clouds of dark smoke (my pet hate with candles) and the scent hung around for a long time afterwards, but in a subtle, pleasant non-cloying way.

I believe that there are other scents in the range that would have gotten a 5 from me, but this is the one I had :)
