Living Light Soy Travel Tin Review

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.

I recieved this candle as part of the Best Beauty Box ever. I have purchased candles from living light before as they have some gorgeous scents in their range. This wee delight is no exception! I recieved the pohutakawa scent which is a mix of citrus, spice and berries. While it is a sweet scent it somehow avoids being cloying. It also has amazing longevity for such a cute wee candle!

Unfortunately I found with this candle (and other candles in this tin format) that the wax leaks out the base of the tin, which meant I got candle wax all over my table! I would suggest that you burn candles like these ones on top of a saucer or similar to avoid this.

Would definately recommend living light candles!

When I saw a candle added to the bestbeautybox I was so happy to see that added. I got my box through the TGIF deal. This candle was my first thing to try . With Living Light being featured on Beauty Review I simply could not wait to try this candle out.

This comes in a beautiful soft metal tin, labelled with a vibrant yellow labelling. My candle is Revive. The texture of this soy candle is creamy white and smooth. Very gentle to touch. This scent reminds me of of sweet lemons with a tangy twist of limes in the background. When I lit this candle I didn't experience any crumbling with the wick. So happy about that. It took at least an hour of burning time to detect this scent. I do understand that soy takes a bit longer to burn.

After burning this candle about four times there is still a little bit remaining in my tin. My partner wasn't a fan of lemon . I definately did enjoy using this candle. This scent was subtly pleasant. Im glad it wasn't overpowering otherwise I think I wouldn't have liked it.I thought it was a wonderful addition this box. I hope they bring more candles out in boxes or even melts. I would love to try more candles from the Living Light range.

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 always walk past small candles, votives or tea lights because in the past, the ones I've purchased have been utterly disappointing because they lacked fragrance. I have used two of these candles in the past from Beautiful Christmas New Zealand box and Best Beauty Box Ever box respectively.

I haven't come across many candles in a tin so I think the packaging is pretty cool and creative. It's compact so it's easy to take traveling where you can just close it up (once the wax has solidified) and pop it into your bag ready to light at the next destination.

You don't need to trim the wick on this (thank goodness) so it really is a "purchase-and-light" kind of candle. However once the wax is fully liquid the flame does come up pretty high which can be a bit of a hazard so you'll need to be mindful of where this is placed. Fragrance aside the main thing I was looking for was whether or not this burned evenly. I really HATE having to maintain a candle that needs constant attention.

I'm happy to say this has a good burn to it where the wax pools evenly around the wick. The tin is not hot to touch within the hour, it's just warm but any longer than that I wouldn't recommend touching it or carrying it around to a different location while burning because the wax might spill over and that's just asking for medical attention.

I let it burn for an hour in a small room and found the fragrance travelled well but due to size I don't think it's ideal to light a big room, you'd probably need more than 2 or 3 to create a relaxing and calm ambiance.

I have the fragrance 'Kitchen' which is amazing. I initially thought it was a lime scent coming through but it's actually lemongrass. Don't get it confused with the kind of overpowering lemongrass you detect in some cuisine this is more of a refreshing take on it. I would recommend this candle for traveling but for rooms in the house I still prefer to use larger candles that last longer.

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.

I received this as part of the NZ Brands Beauty Box. I have to admit I am not one for burning scented candles, I prefer incense.

The scent I received was Pohutukawa. Upon opening the cute little tin, with pink patterning, I could small the scent immediately. It is a sweet, subtle scent, and is not overpowering. It reminded me of pomegranate, which I like.

The candle burnt well, although the wick was a little short which made it a bit tricky to light. The flame was slow and steady, and there was plenty of candle left after an hour. The tin was warm, but certainly not too hot to handle while the candle was burning.

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.

I received one of these in the Best beauty box ever, I am a big candle fan so getting another candle to add to my collection makes me so happy! I received Revive which has a citrus scent of Orange, grapefruit and lime, combined they smell so refreshing and really open up your senses. The smell of this candle really boosts your mood!

It comes in a beautiful tin, which I have never seen before and a twist lid, I like the idea of being able to carry this in my bag and travel with this.

As much as I love the scent of this candle, when its lit, it doesn't travel very far. The fragrance is very light unless you're up close to the candle.

Overall I wont be purchasing this candle in the future unless the scent is made stronger.
