Living Light Pure Soy Wax Candle

I admit it - I am a candle fiend. I currently have over 15 candles sitting around my house. So I was very excited to receive this as a trial team.

This was one of those candles that you could smell before even opening the beautiful little BR courier bag, but not in an over powering way.

It comes in a very nicely designed box. The jar itself is a nice round and solid glass container, with a minimalist type look which always looks classy on any surface.

The scent is to die for, such a beautiful winter smell. This is one of those candles that don't smell "fake", it genuinely smells like you have a plum pie baking in the oven.

My other half (being a typical male) never notices, and doesn't really enjoy when I burn candles (pretty much every night), and for the first time ever he walked in the door and said "Yum, the house smells amazing!".

Overall 5/5 stars - Will definitely be buying more candles from this brand!

I was sent this product by BR as a part of the trial team. It is the Living Light Plum & Pomegranate Soy Candle. Before I received this product for review, I had never tried this brand before. First of all, I must highlight the components of this beauty. This candles are made of pure soy wax, with a 100% cotton wick and offers 30 hours of light and aroma as well as being organic and ethically sourced!

Packed in a nice cardboard box, the packaging is simple and stylish. It comes in a 150gr glass jar, labeled with the company name and a chrome reflected lid that contains an inside mirror.

When I opened the jar, the candle smelled wonderful. It has a crisp, feminine scent that will certainly help anyone to unwind after a long day. The quality of the aromas felt pure and sophisticated.

In comparison to regular paraffin candles I found that soy candles burn cleaner. As result, they don't produce as much black soot and the wax melts evenly.

One of the negative things I found about this product is that the scent was on the lighter side (more of like a background fragrance) I could not smell the scent beyond the open door into any other part of the house.

The Living light soy candle collection is available in several variants. Each of the candles has a unique combination of scents, which makes them irresistible! A few of the fragrance combinations include rose and fresh orange, sage & bergamot, jasmine and my well loved plum and pomegranate!

The reason why I would invest in this product its because its made of high quality ingredients and is hand crafted in NZ, making it just that little bit more special :)

PROS: Long lasting, Clean burn (carbon free), Natural wax and fragrances that are biodegradable, Subtle fragrance, Supporting the local community.

CONS: Price.

Overall, I recommend this product above other candles on the market.

I am totally stocked to have tried this candle as Im an avid candle lover and like to burn them in the evenings or when im having a relaxing bath, Where to start the presentation of the candle when it came was boxed in a cute pink box and even before you even opened the box to smell the candle you could already smell it but defiantly not in an over powering kind of way. It was a hint of sweetness from the pomegranate and plum. As I took the candle out of the package I was impressed to find that it had a silver lid to seal the candle it also to avoid the air drying it out. The touch of the candle was smooth and was glad to find it was made from soy wax so its natural. The candle when lit was easy to light without any troubles and the scent filled the air of the room within seconds of the candle burning. This candle will last hours I have lit it every night since I received it and is still burning for about 5 days with the average burning time being 30 hrs and there is still heaps to burn. I love the idea that its in a glass candle holder too so the wax doesn't spill anywhere. Im 100% impressed with this product and to know its made here in new Zealand I can proudly to say I will gladly be purchasing this range of candles again.

A while ago the forum and FB was alight (get the pun) with the fabulous that was Living Light candles. So buying into the hype I grabbed a few...4 to be exact to give them a go, because you can never have enough candles.

Firstly, these are cute in their poured state inside a lidded plastic/acrylic container that has a silver metal effect lid which has suction so that when it has its lid on the aroma can not escape and spoil over time. The only downside was it's size for the price, in comparison to other candles for similar prices I found these to be a third of the other ones less.

The wick is a cotton material of quite a thickness that sees it clog up after being lit and blown out, so after each use or before you relight you do need to trim the wick to prevent soot being expelled everywhere.

The fragrance is lovely and very pungent in it's fruity almost spice warmth, a perfect autumn/winter smell.

I absolutely adore this candle. I wish I had one to burn right now. The scent is just incredible. I actually love all the Living Light candles. I generally struggle to decide which one to buy. But if you are buying online your absolutely can't go wrong with this one. It's quite a modern fragrance and would suit any house. It makes a beautiful thoughtful gift.

When BR posts a new product to trial I always love reading the perfectly written article about the product, by the end of the article I'm wanting my grubby little mitts all over said product! And this was one of those "I'll buy it now" moments which um happens quite regularly. But I love it!!

And by the way who doesn't want a lovely scented candle! There is nothing more comforting than seeing that naked flame flickering away filling the air with a sweet scent. There is also something about walking into your home to a nice, fresh smelling home it's warming and inviting.

So I'm off to the living light website trawling the pages of the different scents and different candles. But I already knew that I wanted plum and pomegranate, 2 of my favourite scents and put together I knew it would be heaven. I placed an order for a small candle and it was on special so paid $25 bonus! 2 days later it arrived in its beautiful little pink and purple box, I carefully open it to find the glass jar with a silver lid and the living light logo on the candle, simple but elegant.

So of course I waste no time in lighting it and Cor Blimey it didn't take long for the air to be filled with the decadent scent. Sweet and fruity, zingy and zesty the type of scent that gets your tastebuds going, but it also has a bit of a dark side that mellows it all down making it creamy. It really is Devine, I have been burning this daily for 4 hours a day and it's nearly gone so it does last at least 30 hours. It keeps the house scented for hours and I we have been getting lots of comments on how good the house smells. This is a real winner and I will purchase more of these, I can't wait to try the different scents.
