June 2014: Must-Have Beauty Product Guide The Editorial TeamJune 2, 20141 viewsBeauty0 Comments1 views Oh-So-Citrus Soy Candle by Pura Botanica (£19) As you may already know by now we absolutely love burning a beautiful smelling candle in our studio, and when we opened this one – our senses didn’t let us down! The smell of citrus is always so fresh and clean, making our workspace smell absolutely heavenly. Not far from the sun-drenched shores of the Mediterranean, tidy rows of Portuguese orange trees perfume the air with a scent so astonishingly beautiful, it’s impossible not to be joyful in the wake. Thus Oh-So-Citrus Candle starts here, then adds lavender and geranium to arrive at an exceptional blend – and provide a unique sensory awakening. It burns for up to 50 hours, offering ample enjoyment time. Soft & Gentle pink grapefruit scented deodrant (£2.69) Bring that summer feeling to right under your armpits with the latest scent from Soft & Gentle.
