Aveda Shampure Soy Wax Candle Giveaway!

If you're a regular reader of Spoiled Pretty, you probably remember a review I wrote a few weeks back – extolling the virtues of Aveda's Shampure Soy Wax Candle.

It might be a stretch to call the Shampure Candle the best-smelling candle of all time – considering, well, I've only been on this earth to judge for 31 years. But I'm going to give it that title anyway because I dare someone to find me one more wonderfully fragrant. I triple dog dare you.

This candle smells so good, I want to petition Aveda to create a body wash, lotion, perfume and hand cream in the same scent (they already have a Shampure shampoo and conditioner – which are on my "next to try" list).

The aroma of 25 pure flower and plant essences - including certified organic lavender, petitgrain and ylang ylang – soothes the senses. And the candle, housed in a 95% recycled glass holder, burns cleanly and completely for up to 50 hours.


I'm not content to enjoy this candle solo – so, in honor of Earth Day (April 22) and Natural Woman Week, I've teamed up with Aveda to share two with you!

Two winners will receive Aveda's Shampure Soy Wax Candle – and I dare them to tell my challenge my 'best-smelling candle of all time' theory.

To enter the giveaway, leave a message in the comments section; make sure to leave your email or another way for me to get in touch, just in case you get lucky. Contest is open to U.S. residents only. The giveaway ends at noon (EST) on Tuesday, April 27, 2010. Good luck!

And don't forget to enter Spoiled Pretty's other Earth Day-inspired beauty giveaways!

Now I've got an ear worm from an old camp song:

"It is better to light just one little candle than to stumble in the dark...."

That's okay, though. Haven't thought of this song in years and it's a sweet one to remember!

Well I've smelled some pretty dang good smelling candles before but I'd love to challenge you and see if this one smells better. Companies really should start making their products with more environmentally friendly and recycled products. Imagine if the whole world recycled everything, how much cleaner and healthier mother earth would be. I'd love to live to see that day....

I LOVE SHAMPURE! I have tried the shampoo and conditioner, and while I love the scent I'm not overly thrilled with the results. I'm not sure if Aveda still has it, but in their personal scents, the have shampure, and you can make it into anything you want.... As for awesome candle smells, yankee candle used to have a concord grape one that literally made my mouth water EVERY time I smelled it.
