Ilumenature Candles Review & Giveaway










If you're anything like me, you always have to have a candle burning in the house. A scented candle really helps put you in the mood for the season, no matter that season may be.  A pleasant scent brightens up the house and a the warm flame is relaxing. I especially enjoy trying out handmade candles. So when Illumenature asked me to review thier candles I was excited to give them a try. They have lots of tradational scents, but also some unique combinations I had very heard of, like the cherry tangerine and the chestnut and brown sugar.  All their candles are availabe in 8oz for $11.99 and 20oz for $19.99.





I received three scented candles to try out. The Banana Nut, Cherry Tangerine and Citrus Basil. They were all wondreful! The Citrus Basil was my favorite, even though at first I wasn't sure I would like it. It was a very uplighting scent and really made me feel energized. It took a full week for one 8oz candle to burn out. That's pretty good since I burn them for at least 8 hours a day. The scents were powerful without being overbearing. They filled the whole house with their sweet fragrance.  These are candles that will give even the most popular brands a run for their money. And the prices are much more reasonable. Plus each week they offer a discounted candle in their weekly promotion.  If that's not good enough, you can use the discount code CINN5 to get $5 off your order of $50 or more. Just enter the code at checkout.






How would you like to try out these awesome candles for yourself?  Two lucky winners will each receive an 8oz candle to try out (company's choice).  To enter, please visit Illumenature and let me know which scent you would most like to try.

I have to agree with a few of the others- citrus basil. It just sounds so good, I love fruity scents. But the cherry tangerine is a close second. kcarlson1152[at]hotmail[dot]com
