Lotion Candles, Would You Try?

Candles that melt down to a creamy lotion or skin oil... intriguing.
A great gift idea if nothing else!

The ultimate stocking stuffer is sure to be a dual-purpose lotion candle. With such sophisticated, non-cloying scents as lychee and lapsang, these burning beauties melt down to a fragrant, skin-softening lotion. And, if you think it all sounds a bit too potentially painful, rest assured that the makers of these candles take safety and comfort seriously: The candles are formulated to cool to a non-burning heat as soon as you blow them out, and most are formulated with such skin-pampering ingredients as soy, vitamin E, and shea butter.

These sound like a great idea.... but I'm afraid I'd end up burning myself and regret I even tried it! lol...

I would totally try this... but I'd probably be cringing just in case, haha.

Hey Chanel,

I've tried that Jimmy Jane candle (grapefruit scent) and it is amazing. I tried it in a boutique and I did not burn myself! I'm going to feature it very soon.
