Pamper Evening

So... When I actually get the time to have a pamper evening I genuinely jump for joy.

There's nothing I like more than to chill out, relax and pamper myself.

Oh and have cuddles with my girls obviously! Even if they like rubbing their bottoms in my face... a sign of affection apparently.....

I usually start by running a bath, using one of my many products from Lush! 

Or will jump in the shower if I'm tight on time and will use my mint and tea tree Original Source shower gel or Imperial Leather marshmallow one, as they both smell divine.

While my bath is running I will tidy up a bit so that I can be 100% relaxed. I tend to light my candles in my room and the bathroom too. 

We have recently had a bit of a candle haul in Home Sense and are burning our sea salt and black toffee candle in our lounge and the scent carries around the whole house!

I will always try to take my make up first using my Emma Hardie Cleansing Balm.

I love this product soooo much! It really does work and does everything it claims to do. Plus my skin loves it and I can really tell the difference when I forget to use it. I am currently using a tiny little mini as I need to repurchase the full size and keep forgetting! (I frickin love mini's so it makes me rather happy using this anyway!)

I've been very lucky to be invited to a blogger event next week which includes a Q&A with Emma Hardie so I will ensure to vlog the evening. 

If I'm having a bath, I'll grab my phone and start reading through blogs that I need to catch up on on Bloglovin' or if I've been good and have already done that I will get a book to have a read. This is probably the safer option too as on more than a few occasions I've been far too close to dropping my phone in the bath!

After I have had a lovely chill, (or when the bath starts getting cold...) I will then wash myself as well as taking off my face mask if I have used one.

Last week, I tried the Body Shop's Japanese Macha Tea Face Mask and really liked it. I intend to have another go tonight.

I had shaved my legs last week and used my Soap and Glory moisturiser on my legs and then used Lush's Sleep moisturised on my top half, I am in the middle of reviewing it at the moment as I have been really struggling with sleeping.

                         

The below video followed me along on my very quick pamper evening last week.

Much Love,

I Love New Things!

So after a very expensive month being December what with Christmas and New Years Eve I haven't been able to get everything I need this month so far... When I say need... I definitely mean want...

However! I have managed to pick up a few new products that I'm excited to start using! 

Firstly, I genuinely did need a new liquid eyeliner... Mine had started to make my eyes sting which is never good! 

I picked up this one from Soap and Glory. It's the Super Cat in Carbon Black and was a steal at £6!

I wore this when I went to my friends wedding reception at the weekend and I loved how easy it was to apply. It glides so smoothly over my eyelid and was super easy to do a cat eye. 

Next up I picked up a couple of Lush products after being recommended them on Twitter by my local store. 

Everyone knows how much I rate their Lip Scrubs having loved the Bubblegum flavoured one for a couple of years now. 

So I picked up the new flavour, 'The Kiss' and it smells soooo good! 

It's very sweet like the Bubblegum one but in a slightly different way, it's hard to describe! 

I also picked up the 'Honey Trap' lip balm  as recommended by them following my blog about High Street Lip Balms. This again smells amazing! 

Can't wait to start using it!

Lastly, I brought some MAC lipstick, because a girl has got to treat herself every now and again. 

I actually brought these from a friend who had purchased the wrong colour and didn't use them, but had lost her receipt to return them. Perfect for me though! 

It's from the Amplified line in the shade 'Impassioned' and is a gorgeous pinky red. I also picked up a lip liner to go with it which is in the shade 'Dynamo'.

I'm loving these together and intend to use this a lot over the coming months. Including my Birthday as it is Valentines Day and I think this is the perfect Valentines colour. 

I also recently purchased a couple of quad palettes to transfer some of my potted MAC shadows into to make it easier to take round with me. 

At the same time I brought a shadow to go straight in and went with 'Naked Lunch'.

It's a gorgeous neutrally champagney shade and I've been wearing it a lot! It's definitely become my go to shade for day time along with using it to highlight under my brow with a night time look. 

Have you brought any new products recently? Any recommendations? 

Much Love,
