What
would a feel good November be without a good old pamper evening? I
love pampering sessions, it’s the perfect ‘me time’ to relax after a
long day of work. There are some unmissable steps in every pampering
routine, and I love trying out new products all the time to see which
scents, which formulas I like best. In this post, let me share with
you my favourite essential products of the moment!
~
Shower Gel: Cottage, Strawberry and Mint: I
very rarely use the same shower gel twice, because there are so many
on the market and it’s not a product that I put of lot of thought on.
However I do care about the scents of my shower gels. This one was
given to me as a birthday gift and the strawberry and mint smell is
amazing! I don’t know if the brand Cottage is available in other
countries, but if you get the chance and see these in the shops, just
have a sniff! There are many different scents, and I can tell you
they are all wonderful.
~
Shampoo: Dove, Advanced Hair Series, Pure Care Sublime Oil: first
off, let me tell you about the smell of this shampoo. It. is.
incredible! I’ve never had any shampoo that smelt so good before. If
they made this scent in perfume form, I’d totally wear it. This range
is fairly new I think, I’d never seen it before and people don’t seem
to talk about it too much. But it is a really good shampoo, that
makes your hair very soft and shiny. Great value for money!
~
Bath: Lush Bath Bombs (here, the IntergalacticBath
Bomb): I’ve put one bath bomb in the photo, but
actually Lush bath bombs in general are my ultimate bath essential. I
haven’t tried this one yet and it’s the last one I have, but it
smells super minty and will look lovely in the water I’m sure! My
favourite Lush bath bomb is the Twilight one. Pop a bath bomb in your
bath, add some bubbles and you’re ready to go for the most relaxing
moment ever!
~
Face mask : Lush, Love Lettuce: this is my favourite fresh
mask from Lush, from all those I’ve tried. I’ve already reviewed it
on the blog; so I won’t repeat myself but this mask is exfoliating,
brightening, mattifying and refreshing. It makes your skin look
amazing, and the lavender scent is really relaxing.
~
Nails: Maybelline Dr Rescue All in One//Barry M, Gelly Hi-Shine nail
polish in Chilli: some people hate doing their nails, but I
really enjoy the whole process (when the nail polish doesn’t take too
long to dry, otherwise it gets annoying!). The Barry M nail polish in
Chilli is a beautiful brick red that’s perfect for autumn. At the
moment my base coat is this Maybelline Dr Rescue, which is quite good
and cheap. As a top coat, it makes your nail wonderfully shiny!
~
Scent: Ted Baker Body Spray: I couldn’t find the exact name
of this body spray as Ted Baker has a few different scents out, but
remember the cute little packaging of this one and go smell it i
Boots! I can’t describe it properly, but it is very feminine,
and quite ‘grown up’ without being too musky and loud. As it’s just a
body spray it doesn’t stay on for hours and hours, but it is a nice
one to spray as you get out of the shower to feel fancy!
What are your favourite products to use during pamper evenings? What is your favourite step to do?
Lots of love,
