Glint Candles - Review & #Giveaway





This year, I learned an important lesson about candles. Cheaper is not always better. Being a stay-at-home mom, I was burning candles more often, and the ones I picked up at the grocery store did more harm than good. One day, I looked up at my cathedral ceilings and noticed lines of soot everywhere. It took me weeks to clean them and I almost fell off the ladder at least fifteen times. Now, I know better and I only burn quality soy candles, like the ones you'll find at Glint Candles.

Glint Candles are made using only essential oils and soy, as well as a cotton wick. This means I'll never have to worry about messy soot on my ceilings. But that's not the only thing that's special about Glint's handmade candles. They don't use any artificial ingredients. This includes messy dyes. Instead, they've opted to give their candles a more unique feature. They've created a series of original designs they use on the outside of their jars. Choose from Nautical, Peeping Tom, or Silver Lining. The designs are easy to incorporate into any theme, and are so eye catching, you'll find people are admiring them even when they aren't lit.



For my review, I picked out the Peeping Tom, Man of Few Words Soy Candle. I love the skull on the face of the candle. It's perfect for my eclectic style. The scent of this candle is amazing. It's very fresh and pure, and reminds me pleasantly of my husband's cologne. It burns evenly, without creating any smoke or soot when it's extinguished.  I've been burning it for several days, and so far I haven't even used half the jar. So they are definitely long lasting. Once the candle is gone, the website provides tips on how to clean the jar, because there are plenty of uses for these pretty containers long after the wax has melted away.

If you'd like to check out the amazing collection of Glint Candles for yourself, you can visit their website. There are many designs to choose from or you can even create your own custom candle!  Shipping is free on all orders over $50, so you can stock up on all your favorite scents.  To keep up with new products and promotions, be sure to follow them on face book, twitter, pinterest, or instagram.
