Every time I share these empty jars of candles on Instagram, I always get questions asking me how to clean them so I thought I’d share this post. I love repurposing things – especially when they’re this aesthetically pleasing! It’s fun to see my favorite candle jars sitting out on my dresser, vanity, or bathroom counter rather than a boring cup or glass. How To Clean Your Candles Wait until your candle is almost done, but not to the point where you can see any glass at the bottom. Pop it into the freezer for about an hour or two. Take a spoon and crack the frozen wax, it should come up in 1-2 thick pieces. Wash the remaining residue with warm soapy water. So easy right?! You can also use the jars as drinking glasses (once thoroughly washed and sans label). Or vases for flowers around your apartment. I use an old Diptqyue 34 candle as a vase on my living room table and love the way it looks as opposed to a clear vase. My Favorite Candles My three favorite candles are Diptyque Vanille, Diptyque 34, and Byredo Bohemia. Do you repurpose your candles too? What are some of your favorite scents?

Now is the PERFECT time to stock up on all of your beauty favorites + any new items you’ve been wanting to try. Sephora is offering 20% for all ROUGE members now, 15% off for all VIB members on 4/21, and 10% off for all INSIDERS with code SPRINGSAVE starting on 4/23. In this post, I’m going to share some of my tried and true products, plus a few things I’ve been dying to try after reading about them! Without further ado… Sephora Sale Picks Laneige Lip Mask I’d heard SO many things about this lip mask, and then it won an Allure beauty award so I knew it had to be good. I’m obsessed with all things Vanilla so I can’t wait to try this lip mask! Dr. Barbara Sturm Face Cream I JUST ran out of this face cream and am counting down the days until it arrives in the mail. I love the texture, consistency, and it’s a clean product. I also use her eye cream and am intrigued to try the glow drops next. Supergoop Unseen Sunscreen This is the sunscreen I wear everyday. It’s so lightweight and doesn’t irritate my skin. It feels like whipped butter and goes on completely clear! Charlotte Tilbury Highlighter I’ve been using this highlighter for YEARS and love the way it looks on. It’s so easy to apply (I legit just use my fingers) and it creates a really natural, pretty looking sheen on your cheekbones! I don’t use the sculpt color, but know a ton of people who love it (I’m just too lazy to apply it haha!) Concealer I’ve been wanting to test out a few new concealers and currently have my eye on this one and this one! Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation This foundation is creamy, silky and gives you flawless skin! I wear shade 6.5. Laura Mercier Caviar Eye Shadow Stick Another one of my beauty favorites, this eyeshadow stick makes applying eyeshadow a BREEZE, plus it makes any powder you apply over it last all day. My go-to base color is Rose Gold. Dermalogica Microfoliant Exfoliator This has been the only exfoliator I’ve used for the past 7 years and I can’t say enough good things about it. It’s so gentle, lathers beautifully, and I’ve gotten everyone I know hooked on it. It also just won an Allure beauty award. Dr. Dennis Gross Peel Pads Lauryn has been raving about these peel pads forever, along with a handful of other bloggers and I’ve been wanting to try them! Just ordered a pack and will share how I like them. Tan Luxe Face Drops I’ve raved about these face tan drops before, and created an IGTV specifically sharing how to use them. They give you the most natural looking tan (*a little goes a LONG way and you only need about 2-3 drops.) Dae Shampoo + Conditioner I have tried a zillion shampoos + conditioners over the years and this one really really WOWs me. It makes my hair so silky, shiny, and voluminous, plus it’s a clean product and smells so yummy. The deep conditioning treatment is also amazing. Hourglass Powder Brush This is a gorgeous brush that is 2 in 1! Use the thicker side for your blush/bronzer and the thinner side for setting powder. I use this every single day to apply setting powder in my T-zone. T3 1″ Curling Wand I’ve been using this wand for almost 6 months now and am so happy I made the switch. It’s such a high quality ceramic and gives me natural looking curls. It heats up in seconds which is a lifesaver when you’re in a rush. Sunday Riley Acne Oil This is my holy grail product for breakouts! I dab a little bit of it over any red blemishes and it instantly goes down. I also like to sleep with it on overnight. It dries out a zit faster than anything I’ve ever used. Tata Harper Resurfacing Mask This mask REALLY gets in there and cleans your skin. You will radiate after! Bonus it’s a clean product. A few other products I love that just went out of stock (although they may be restocking soon!) are this Farmacy honey mask and this L’Occitane lavender bubble bath. Shop everything else below!
