Pure Integrity Soy Candles Review and Giveaway

I am very sensitive to smells. Just ask my husband. I smell things long before he ever notices anything. Sometimes that’s a good quality to have – I have a deep appreciation for good smells. Other times….my heightened sense of smell can be quite annoying.

Because I really dislike stinkiness and really LOVE sweet smells, I have become a scented candle addict. I’ve got candles all over, and often burn them to lift my mood.

I’ve tried many brands, from the expensive to the cheaper store brands. I can say with no hesitation that Pure Integrity Soy Candles are the best smelling candles I have ever experienced.

I received a variety of candles and soy melts (to use with my own warmer) from Pure Integrity, and right off the bat, I was amazed at how much I loved the scents, particularly since I chose the scents online. My first praise for Pure Integrity is that their online scent descriptions led me to the perfect scents for me.

My favorite scent turned out to be Autumn splendor. Here’s Pure Integrity’s description:

Autumn Splendor – A classic fall scent. This combination of clove, peppermint and cinnamon is wonderfully warm and inviting. Irresistibly beautiful! Scent Strength ~ Moderate ~ Fill large areas.

I’ve currently got an Autumn Splendor tealight candle sitting on my desk, and I enjoy the wonderful scent without even having to burn it.

I also love the Cranberry Spice and Pumpkin Spice (can you tell I’m drawn to the spice scents??).

Not only are Pure Integrity’s scents incredible (they have a huge variety, too!) but their unique soy formula produces healthier, natural candles that burn without harmful petro soot. Read Stacey’s recent review of Pure Integrity.

Pure Integrity Soy Candles are available in different sizes and styles:

26oz candle – double wick and burns approx. 110-120 hours.

16oz candle – double wick and burns approx. 75-85 hours.

10oz candle – double wick & burns approx. 40-45 hours.

5oz candle – single wick & burns approx. 25-30 hours.

Tealight cups come in clear container in quantity of 12 & burn approx. 6-7 hours each.

Soy Melts – 3.5 oz with 6 cubes (Soy melts can be used in any tealight or melt warmer. Two or Three cubes is sufficient to burn at a time.)

Current specials:

$5.00 Flat Rate Shipping on all orders over $59.00 & Free Shipping on all orders over $100.00 in contiguous U.S. plus enjoy 20% OFF Sugared Spruce & Hazelnut!

Oh I love candles. My husband and I are allergice to flowery things & candles seem to be one of the only things I’m able to use to give the house a nice smell (with growing boys here we need that!). I would love to try so many but a few are Amaretto, Apple (anything!), Chocolate, Peppermint (a mint candle! Who knew!!) cinnamon. To name a few! I have always been a fan of the larger size candles so they last me a bit longer & they just look so pretty but I do like the votives too.
