candle madness

i am absolutely in love with candles!

my love for candles have only developed just recently so my "collection" is not exactly the best.

but i assure you, as time goes on, i will slowly expand my collection but for now, this is what i have.

these three are from the Mainstays brand at Walmart for about $1-$2 each. they smell like peach& mango.

i thought that the scent before and after burning was a lot more significant than the scent during burning.

nevertheless, the smell is phenomenal- although it was a lot more subtle than i had hoped.
the burning time is average, slower than i had originally thought due to the price.
i was actually very impressed by these.

i was cleaning my room a few weeks ago and found more small candles!

i have no clue where these are from, probably from a birthday gift many years ago.

these are kiwi&fig scented. they definitely lack quality compared to the previous ones.
they tend to burn out pretty fast, but i am certain that these are from a dollar store.
however, they burn beautifully and the green colour looks stunning when it's burning.

score! these ones are from ikea and they float!! 

they are so cute. they are unscented, but who cares? they float!

i want to make another trip to ikea and find scented ones that float.. hmm..

so this is all i have so far. but aren't they beautiful?

personally, i like candles in glass containers a lot more than the small separate ones in plastic or tinfoil.
it just seems a lot more cleaner and nicer. plus, you can make use of the glass container after the candle is done burning!

i have a few ideas as to which candles i want to purchase for next time. 

i have heard good things about yankee candles and the scented bath&body works.

hope you enjoyed this! :)
