CRAFTING EACH CANDLE: The Making Of My Candle Collection | XO, MaCenna
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 26 сен 2024
- I didn't know if it was going to be possible to create my OWN glass vessel for my candles. It started with just an idea and a sketch and then what was able to be created was truly something special. I wanted everything about these candles to be thoughtful. From using the best highest quality scents and non-toxic wax down to recycled packaging and how you can reuse every part of the candle and packaging.

McCenna, you do not do projects half way, this is why I have such confidence in your product. I am so touched that you included your mom.
thank you so so much!
She didn't give her all in her last friends home makeover.
@@sarahboyde1822 You're right. She showcased companies who gave her free (bland) stuff to use in exchange for getting a cut from the sales generated as a result of sheepies buying from said companies using her special code. Money, money, money.... and appease the talentless (when it comes to interior design) friends. Benefit everyone but her fans, her faithful viewers!
We've just been used, folks!
The candles are spectacular though. And getting a professional artist - her Mom - to design interior part of the packaging is the next level! It immortalized her Mom as a commercially recognised (finally) artist and it will make them highly collectable and go up in value. These vessels were designed to be limited edition and kick off collecting spirit in people. But they will also end up in thrift stores.
Nothing wrong with that. I bought a few highly collectable valuable vintage art glass pieces in thrift stores for cheap. It happens to. I'd like to see Macenna art glass alongside Fenton and Murano.
Why the heck not??!!!
I am concerned about how much these candles are going to cost. MaCenna does not tend to buy budget friendly items herself. Add to that, the vessels are heavy, thick glass and have to be hand poured and hand removed from their molds. Add to that the wax is hand poured in each individual candle. Add to that the beautiful art on the inside of the box. Add to that the frame-worthy postcard of her Mom’s artwork. All of this (and I do hope her Mom is getting paid for her artistic contribution) is adding to the cost of each candle. Any guesses as to the retail cost per candle?
@@sarahboyde1822we all noticed that but if you know her you know there had to have been a good reason for that and most likely the owners request
The fact that your Mom is going to be such a part of this feels me with joy! Can't wait to see it all come together!
fills
Honestly I think it’s what’s going to convince me to buy one! Love that her mom is a part of this and how beautiful it all is!
Yes it's good 😊they both are amazing
Down the line, I would absolutely love if Auden Lueur released a beautiful set of wick trimmer and candle snuffer!! Wouldn't that be so cool?!
and in brass
@@gondolin12it would have to be brass wouldn’t it? 😊
and refill candles in generic jars…I really want the teal vessel with signature scent.
@Anne-pk8gs They wouldn't need to be in generic jars just a refill you could pop in an original vessel.
…Or silk sachet drawstring bags filled with her “signature” scent! That would be totally French and very unique, instead of the candle routine. Maybe, scented drawer liners and it’s of her mom’s artwork printed on the sheets?!? Also, aprons, table-runners, tea towels, dish cloths, with reproductions of her mom’s artwork?!? Same goes for mugs and a calendar! A calendar of the mom’s still-life flowers, or holiday sceneries, or Macenna’s garden roses for every month of the year?!? Even puzzle art! Ideas are endless aren’t they? And we as the consumer can make them richer than rich! Ha! 😂
I could not stop smiling through this video. The editing was perfection - the phone conversation with your mum, the old footage of you enjoying the scent of the Christmas trees and your rose garden... Perfection.
awww thank you so much!
Agreed!! The editing gave me all the happy feels!
MaCenna your attention to detail is impeccable. I've cried throughout this video! Not only your passion behind the vessel, the scents but including your moms art is just so special.
I will be so honored and happy to have your candles in my home. Because it's not just another candle. It's made with love and intent. Congratulations on this exciting journey!
thank you so so much for your comment! that means the world to me!
So many 'influencers" just license their name to put on a product that someone else has made. I love the fact the these are going to be made from your heart and your ideas
I love that you used a company you feel good about to make the candles, and included your Mom’s art in the recyclable box. As usual, every minute detail carefully thought out and executed. I can’t wait! Congratulations MaCenna! 🥰❤️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
thank you so much!
No, the boxes ARE made from recycled material. Boxes are not to be recycled.
Don't you know that designer candles in original packaging, (especially when a professional artist specifically created internal images for a limited collection) only go up in value?
I bet these empty glass vessels in original boxes will be auctioned off years later for higher price than the original candles when they first come out.
She should do some with higher quality handblown art glass (not spray painted) and sell a limited edition for 250 dollars each.
You and I probably won't buy it at the price. But many people don't buy anything UNLESS it's expensive and limited edition.
There will be buyers for those, guaranteed!
I can’t wait to support Auden Lueur 🕯️🕯️🕯️
awww thank you!
When? When? When can I purchase those three beautiful candles? Please, say soon!! 😅
At 12:01 on Sunday morning right?!?!
@whatlolawants2167 she replied 10:00 to a previous comment.
I hope I will afford getting one to Canada.
I love how Romeo is so supportive. You can feel his genuine excitement and love for MaCenna when he sees the vessel for the first time and tells MaCenna how beautiful they are. I know already that these are going to be special candles. Because they were created by a special lady with a radiantly beautiful soul.❤
🎉CONGRATULATIONS🎉
my thoughts exactly - he's a real gem
Romeo is everything good in a man. Good for MaCenna.
How incredibly sweet to use your mom’s paintings inside the box!! How sophisticated is that!!!! Bougie in the best way!!!! 😍😍😍😍😍😍 awesome idea
Can I just say, in addition to the excitement of these candles, that you look stunning in that dark floral dress!
I love that you're using such a small supplier! The Connecticut Valley has a surprising amount of candle makers because they all used to work at Yankee Candle. Love that you're supporting my community ❤
The editing of these videos is next level MaCenna. You would have had so much footage to work through, but you bring it together so seamlessly. 💖
thank you!!! they have been so much fun to edit but youre so right i must have over 20 hours of footage for each video hahah
Omg!! Your mom’s art is perfect for the packaging! 🫶
It’s gorgeous isn’t it? She’s so talented xx
I just love how this is obviously been a very labor intensive process to make sure you get something that you love and we will love as viewers instead of just slapping your name on a product that already exists that I feel like a lot of youtubers do! I'm so excited for the musky candle, can't wait to see what these are like!
Thank you so much for your comment! I've never wanted just "merch" as they call it! If I was going to create something it was going to be thoughtful, purposeful, unique, quality ... all the things haahah
@@XOMaCennaI just have one "issue", and that is that I REALLY wish, you had coloured the candlewax, and not the vessels... Because if you imagine, that you fell in love with the candles - you would end up with a collection of the vessels... And how nice would it have been, if you then had them all in clear, and could use them for drinks, etc.!
But the question is, can the colour be removed? Because it looked like they just "spraypainted" the clear ones?
@@bigboy77dkI would assume that some design elements had to be done minimally to keep production costs low.
There's nothing wrong with a set of mismatched glasses. Plus, they have multiple uses. They can be re poured, used as a holder, a vase or just drinking glasses.
@@madzabinga8382 Yes, it was not to critisize, I would just prefer it, if the vessel was clear, so I wanted to know if, when the candle was done, the colour on the glass could be removed. Some coloured glass loose the colour, if you put them in the dishwasher on a hot program 🙂
I absolutely love the clear, it's beautiful :) And I'm so happy that your Mom's artwork is going to be part of the packaging!! That is so special :)
No words can describe the beauty of your candles. The vessel is absolutely,amazingly beautiful!!❤👌
thank you so much!
My thoughts are, for it to be sustainable, you need to have the candles made seperately to fit inside the vessel, not poured into the vessel insitu because otherwise you have to buy the whole thing everytime instead of just buying re-fills.
I mean realistically how many vessels does one need. That way it also makes it more affordable for your average person as you just buy re-fill candles as and when you run out as opposed to having to buy the whole thing everytime.
It would also save on shipping costs if you can just buy the candle on it's own once you have already purchased the vessel.
I am just obsessed with the fact that it’s so obvious how much thought, attention to every detail and love went into creating these gorgeous candles. And I’m even more thrilled that you brought your beautiful mother along to be a part in the process. Adding her art to the boxes is just such an amazing touch. Can’t wait!!!
I can't wait to smell the holiday candle!! I hope you have ordered plenty of them. From the comments, you may want to order more. 🌲 🕯 🍊🕯🌺 🕯
I love the idea of your moms art on cards or on something that we can frame for our own gallery walls. Glad I have some money saved because I have a feeling this is going to cost a pretty penny but for a beautiful vessel, candle and print. I can not wait!
How incredible is it that you were able to have your mom be part of this 😭💕
I am so excited for these candles!!! I just know they will be perfect🤍🤍
awwww thank you so much!
Is it selfish to say I want one of each?!?!
All these mini sneak peeks on the making of them MAKES me want them more!!! 😊💕
Orange is actually my most favorite in candles! 😊 Citrus, really. I love a scent that feels like a burst of happiness. I also like a scent it whatever the word "innocence" might mean in a candle.
I love a soft sweetness with subtle spiciness of amber and orange or lemon. Thats how i prefer my perfumes also.
Not me crying😂 I love the thought you have put into every detail of your product. It shows how much you truly care! I cannot wait to support Auden Lueur, hopefully, I can get my hands on all three! Congratulations!!
I can’t wait! And I can’t wait to see your moms art in the packaging!❤
You and your mother are so creative and talented. The two of you inspire me.
Hi MaCenna 🕯️your such an example for today. Your gifts and your mother are beyond measures. It shows unity and that makes strength. Frankincense is my favorite. It is so biblical and calm and full of grace. The candle vase is gorgeous. So many things to use it for after. Much Grace🕯️🩵🙏
Oh how thrilling for you!!!! I can hardly wait for your candles to become available!!!! You are a perfectionist...my kind of lady entrepreneur!!!!!!
Im so happy you chose the teal 😍😍
Girl the fact that you make everybody's heart swell with happiness for you.... that makes me so happy❤
I want to say thank you for taking us on this 3 part series to show us the journey of your collection. I have seen others put things out there for their merchandise (including candles), but never talked about how they made the decisions, and how those decisions impact the consumer. I also like that you couldn't use the wood to burn. As someone with ashthma there are certains things I can use and can't use, and by burning wood I would miss out on the holiday candle! Also, LOVE that your mom's artwork is part of it!! I got one of her prints a while back and love it so much. Looking forward to the Sunday!
Your mom's paintings really make this so special. I love the idea that we could frame it! I can't wait to buy this!!
Are you going to do candle refills? Like the Siblings brand? That would amazing.
Great idea! Votive candles that you can use in the original vessel!
I think she’d need a different vessel first - this one is pretty textured inside.
If it's to be sustainable then it would make sense to be able to buy re-fills rather than have to have a new vessel everytime. Also it would cost less to the buyer as I'm sure the vessels will be expensive.
Gorgeous! Everything about your candle is so lovely. Including your mother's art was so emotional for me. You are extremely lucky to be of the same mind with your mother on so many ideas. The creativity between the two of you is so inspiring to see. Best of luck on this exciting new endeavor. I can't wait to have this beautiful creation in my home.
Beautiful! Ive always loved having a small travel candle for camping and beach trips. I hope you’ll consider adding it to your line if you haven’t already ❤️❤️
The inside of the box art by your mom. Is genius! I can’t wait to buy ?❤
The candle vessels turned out amazing, and I can’t wait for them to come out to purchase them. Congratulations again and GOD BLESS. And to add your Mom’s artwork work is awesome. 🙏🏾🥰💯💖💫
Your signature scent sounds perfect! Can’t wait!
In French, lueur is one of those rare words where you have to really articulate and pronounce each sound distinctively for it not to sound confusing ❤️
Oooh interesting! What can it be confused with? I took French through college and honestly don’t remember lueur
It warmed my heart so knowing you included your Mom. This is all so special and precious. I can definitely see repurposing the vessels. I love the clear vessels to be used as drinking glasses. And the tinted one for my makeup brushes. So beautiful!
Oh my gosh Macenna the candles and the design of the vessel is absolutely STUNNING! Super proud and we all feel how proud you are of what you have achieved, the vibe and excitement just seeps through your content ❤ I cannot wait to buy all three of your scents, really hope these will be able to be sent to the UK!!! Congratulations on a wonderful product! 🎉
That's what I want to know. Will, we in the UK be able to have them shipped over ?❤❤❤
I'm in Ireland and going to use AddressPal if they don't ship internationally.
I'm SO excited. It's like you're in my head I love bergamot, musk, amber...oh heck all the scents you've chosen
You don’t imagine how I’m happy for you!!! The process. The emotions.. every step.. no words. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
The amount of love and care you’ve put into this passion project gives me and I bet all your viewers so much excitement to support. I’m already thinking of all the people I want to buy one for!
A Canadian anxiously awaiting your delivery to us up north!!🥰🇨🇦
Your excitement over this product you've worked so hard on brings a smile to my face every time, as do all your projects. Love that your moms art is included. My favourite vessel is the clear one.❤
So happy for you. Might be weird to say, but I'm super proud of you! You are such an inspiration in all you do. Congrats on this new adventure. ❤
I am blown away. You attention to details is wow! The packaging is excellent. I like the inviting scent vessel a lot.
I haven’t even smelled the holiday candle, but I already want it to be year-round lol
So cool you involved your mom… best part of the project
These are going to be beautiful! Gorgeous glass containers, delicious scents, beautiful packaging, quality materials...they sound like perfection. 🌟🕯️🌟
I love that your Mom is included. Beautiful candles.
I have to tell you that I have gotten goosebumps watching both of these release videos and your podcast. I am so happy for you and can’t wait to order. Congratulations!!!
How I feel right now reminds me of a quote I read that said something like "The best moments are when you come across something or someone with the same way of looking at things, same thought as you." And it is as if a hand has come out and taken mine. 💜 Thank you and congratulations, MaCenna!
Just over here crying and so happy for an absolute stranger 🥹 I love how you put your whole heart and soul into your passions. The phone call voice over with your mama in the last video took me out. Your relationship is so beautiful ❤️
Wow this is all so exciting for you. I love the fact that your Mom has done the artwork too ❤❤❤
I have to take a moment to appreciate how well crafted this video series is! Taking us through the details justifies what I’m expecting to be a luxury candle price…the marketing is brilliant and while I consider myself frugal I will certainly be supporting your new business venture 👏 simply amazing!
What an achievement. I'm sure they smell divine. I'm in love with your mum's designs, I personally am not in love with the vessel but that's only my personal taste, I'm sure lots of people will love it. Sounds very much like I wouldn't be able to afford them but wishing you the best of luck.
Thoughtful with every aspect of this product🤍 love the questions she’s asking and the care she is putting into her candles and packaging. Beyond excited for the launch! ✨
I can hardly wait to order! The glass vessel is gorgeous !
I am so excited for your candles to launch. I love that you are showing all aspects of the process. You put so much thought, care and detail into your vision and I truly enjoy watching it evolve in your videos. I am so excited to see your vessels and boxes in person and cannot wait to smell them. Looking forward to purchasing them!
How cool is it that you’ll hit another milestone most likely before January 1,000,000 subscribers!!! I’m praying that happens for you!!!
I can’t believe that number hasn’t already happened.
MaKenna!!!!!! I am so incredibly excited for you🎉And now, you are sharing this with all of the people who love you so much. I cannot wait because it will be like having you over for a visit where we smell your candle and share laughs. Congratulations to you and to your sweet, sweet Momma. ❤❤❤❤
I don’t know about the scents yet, but the vessel is stunning! It gives me fine crystal, Waterford vibes. 😊
Congratulations on your dream!
I’m so proud of you girl! Watching this whole process gave me so much joy for you. To see your Mom being part of the process is the icing on the cake. Also, the fact you’re making these in the US with a small family business is amazing. All in all, I can’t wait to buy your candle for so many reasons. Congratulations!
Beyond excited that there’s a pine & frankincense candle!
I love this for you and everyone who gets to enjoy your candles!
I have never been so hyped for candles in my life! Can't wait to order mine! ❤
I LOOOOVE that your mom did the artwork for the box. 🥹🥹🥹
This is amazing! I love how you collaborated with your mom and her art! So fun! Can’t wait to purchase!!
we are so excited!
the prints are so perfect!
I feel like such a proud cousin 🥹🤭!! I’m so excited for you and for US to get our hands on these 🥂❤
I just want to cry watching this! So excited for you! I feel like each detail of the calendar takes me back to moments I’ve watched of you over the years. Can’t wait to get mine!
all these scents sound exactly like what I want from my candles, I can't wait to get them all!!
I don’t do candles, but I’m here for your mom and her reactions. Love her.
Stunning!! The vessel! I'm so happy your mom has a part in this, especially with it being her art...and its so pretty! Very happy for you Macenna❤ Eager to find out the pricing.
OBSESSED!! I got so excited when you got the first glass holder sample! I laugh every time you show the footage of how excited you get when your mom tells you her favourite one. You two are the cutest! Love that you include us in the whole intricate process, thank you!
They all sound wonderful! Congratulations 🎉
CONGRATULATIONS MCKENNA!! i love your ambition, passion, creativity, style, get up & go attitude, kindness,... I can go on! You deserve this wonderful dream come true! It came from you, driven by you and with a guiding hand by others & mom, you have made it come true! You didnt give up... 5 yrs later here it is. Enjoy every minute. Cant wait to buy it!! Wishing you all the success... Big hugs from NY. Love Viv :)
The 19th can't get here soon enough. I'm so excited to bring these beautiful candles into my home. Every step in the creation and design of this candle is perfection. I'm so happy for you and for us!! Oh yeah, my Christmas shopping this year just got easier too. Thank you MaCenna and mom - who knocked it out of the park with the artwork!! GORGEOUS!
I am so excited for the candles and all the effort you have put into this. Your accomplishments fill me with such joy- I could cry I'm so happy for you.
The violet smells like my absolute dream scent!! Are they all going to be limited or just the holiday one? 🤍
OOhhh! You could also repurpose the container for small flower vases in a table setting. 😍 Very very nice!
So beautiful! Oh, your moms paintings are amazing!!
I just about cried when I realized your Mom created the pieces of art inside the box packaging. That is so special you really poured your whole heart into this I can’t wait to get my hands on one!
THIS is how a product should come to life..including yourself in all of the research and all of the details. The hands on approach truly shows the passion put into this. So many people slap their names on a product and move forward.... and often times, it shows. Not only did you go to the facility where your candles are poured and produced, you made the effort to truly listen to the ones behind it all and how they got to where they are today. I am so grateful you shared the journey behind the scenes because the devotion, the consideration, the drive, etc. is seriously just so magical to watch. Anyone who puts this much passion into something and I can see it, can probably get me to buy anything. These really turned out so stunning and am glad your Momma was included too. I can't wait to see the packaging and to hold the candle in my hands!! I'm not only investing in a beautiful candle but also investing in you and your dreams too.🖤🤍
So happy to see your dream come to life! And I can't wait to hold one of your beautiful candles!
Oh my gosh, I'm so excited for you and for your mom! She looked surprised when you asked her to design her own pieces of art inside the box!! Btw genius and beautiful idea! Love that tribute to her talent! I teared up actually a few times. I also love how supportive and excited Romeo is in background you can tell in his voice that he is so proud of and loves you girl!! ❤ I can't wait to see the next video!! Also cannot wait to buy these candles!!! You, my dear, have a beautiful soul!! CONGRATULATIONS!!
I’m missing the Texas House🤗
So proud of your hard work, MaCenna! I love the sweet relationship you have with your mom. I'm so blessed to have a sweet momma, too. I look forward to possibly having your candles in my home. ❤
👋😄 hi silent watcher here... OMGOSH MaaaCennna! IDK if they're $52 I just signed up to be notified. Its so worth it, you put so much into these and its going to be a whole entire experience plus you get to reuse that gorgeous vessel AND your Moms special artwork!!! ❤
Is that how much they are?
The shiping will probably be alot because the heavy glass
OMG I hope you've made A LOT of candles for us! All the scents sound so divine. The vessels are stunning in every color. Cannot wait!!
$70 or so with shipping is outrageous
it is! but i have no doubt the collection will sell out
so excited for you.....definitely going to be on the site to grab one. LOVE that your mum has contributed with her artwork - beautiful idea
SO READY FOR THIS! 🩵
eeeeekkkkk!
Im so happy for you MaCenna, many blessings to you and your endeavors 🙌🏽🙌🏽👏🏽👏🏽💐❣️
Yay! Can we know ahead of time what time the store will be live on Sunday? I didn't get push notifications in time for an All the Things sweatshirt last year and am still full of All the Regrets haha
O noooo! im so sorry! You can signup for early access on the website and then it will be open for purchase at 10am on sunday!
@@XOMaCenna thank you!
@@XOMaCenna also, if you ever decided to design a line of glassware for drinks I don't think any of us would be upset about it 😉
Beautiful and so excited for you on this new journey. Your mom’s art is stunning and Romeo is such a fantastic supporter ( I love he gets excited with you about your passion projects). Love this and wish you all the best moving forward. I’m just in awe that you are supporting local small business. Also the sustainable thought and the design behind every candle , mind blown
