Jimmyjane’s Afterglow line of natural massage oil candles make the perfect gift for self-pampering, to share with your lover, or to give away to a friend. They are immaculately packaged, and when you open the top flap of the cardboard box that houses the glass-encased candle, white text on a pomegranate-colored background directs you to “MELT ME.”
On top of the candle is a small, square owner’s manual (complete with burning instructions), a slim designer pack of matches that say “JIMMYJANE” on one side and “FLIP ME OVER” on the other for that added, irresistible touch. There is also a brush included with the candle. It has a white handle with the “JIMMYJANE” name on one side, and soft black bristles. It comes packaged in a plastic wrapper, keeping it tidy and neat until you’re ready to use it.
The candle itself is filled for feel-good and skin-soothing ingredients such as Aloe, Vitamin E, Shea Butter and Jojoba. The wax of the candle is formulated to burn into the perfect liquid, high-slip massage oil at just the right temperature for painting on skin.
Jimmyjane’s motto “Live Sexy” comes alive with Afterglow: Natural Massage Oil Candle, as it not only fills your room with the sensual flicker of candlelight, but permeates a soft, high quality perfume throughout your sacred space. It also serves as a brilliant massage oil and hydrates the skin (yours or your partner’s) just as well as the best oils on the market. At least as well as the ones I’ve tried, anyhow.
The directions on the box recommend that after you’ve lit Afterglow: Natural Massage Oil Candle and let it burn for a while, you blow out the flame, and dip the brush into the collected oil to spread it from the candle’s glass cube to skin. Then, ditch the brush and use your fingers, hands, body, or Jimmyjane’s massage stones to lovingly massage the oil into your partner’s flesh, or your own, if you’re treating yourself!
The Fig Leaf scent is flowery, and has hints of fruit under the light floral notes that rise to the top. The candle burns evenly, and looks beautiful. The whole frosted glass cube of Afterglow: Natural Massage Oil Candle glows with a soft, gorgeous light after the wick is lit.
I was thrilled that Jimmyjane thought to include a brush for application of the oil. Other massage oil candles that I’ve tried haven’t included any applicator tool, and trying to “pour” the oil out of the candle tin or glass container was awkward at best, and messy at worst. It always seemed to dribble down the side of the container, and never went quite where I wanted it. With this brush, however, application of the Afterglow: Natural Massage Oil Candle’s oil is neat and precise, and you don’t have to worry about getting wax (or oil) all over your sheets or lingerie! Win!
When painted on the skin, Afterglow: Natural Massage Oil Candle elicits sighs and transports you to that little slice of Heaven that exists somewhere between your sex and your heart. It’s as if you can finally take a deep breath. Unlike cheaper massage oil candles on the market, the Jimmyjane Afterglow: Natural Massage Oil Candle will never burn your skin, even if it’s painted on immediately after you blow out the flame. The oil is warm to the touch of your skin, and you’ll find your body (or your lover’s) arching to meet the brush, like you might move into the stream of a warm, relaxing shower.
The oil isn’t sticky at all; it’s smooth as night. And it’s not excessively oily either, which is nice for those of us that have enough natural oils in our skin. In my opinion, they did a superb job with this blend. It’s moisturizing and I can feel my skin soak it up, drinking it, when it’s painted onto me…
When it’s on my arms, I want more. I want to feel it cover my breasts. And when it’s on my breasts, I want more. I want to feel it painted down my abdomen and onto my labia. When it’s on my abdomen, I want more. I want to feel it on the arc of my inner thigh. Kissing my collarbones. Taking me all the way to the moon. Yes, ma’am.
It’s extremely easy to spread and distribute with your bare hands, and afterwards, your skin feels refreshed, rejuvenated, and if you’re anything like me, your mind will be calm, no more ripples, your soul basking in afterglow. It’s great to use post-coitus, but also delectable on its own.
