Mini Pamper Session

I found myself with a couple of hours free this afternoon/evening so I decided to have a mini pamper session. Not a bad thing to do on a Sunday afternoon, but mid way through, I decided I was going to write a blog about it.

I started off my coating my hair in  Renewing Argan Oil of Morocco. It's normally used as a leave in conditioner before drying your hair, but lets face it, we all know now that oil is fantastic for your hair so I decided to use it as a mask. I added to the ends of my hair and through the roots and then tied it up in a bun to keep it out of the way.


While the mask was on I then decided to cleanse my face. As it happens, I didn't put any make-up on today at all but it's still good to give your face a really good wash. Today, I used my Sass Purifying Cleanser. I got this sent to me and I do really like it. I think I'll be trying some other Sass products in the future. 

After washing off the cleanser, I then used my Naobay Moisturising Peeling. It's basically a face scrub but it smells delicious and does a really good job. Again, this was also sent to me and today was the first time I've used it. I'll happily use it again. 


Of course, you can't do a pamper sesh without a face mask. I used this Manuka Honey one. I've used them before and always really liked them. Just make sure you don't start peeling it off in front of anyone. It can look a little bit creepy!! Haha. 
You leave this mask on for 15 minutes and then just give your face a quick wipe after peeling it off. 



Finally, it's time to wash the oil out of my hair. Today I decided to use Herbal Essences - Ignite my Colour. It smells delicious. It reminds me of the original Herbal Essences. Because I had so much oil in my hair, I decided to shampoo twice today to make sure I got it all out. I then put the conditioner on and leave it in while I shaved my legs and used my amazing Body Shop scrub (shown below).


Please always remember to comb your hair when the conditioner is in. It helps to de-tangle it and stops quite as many split ends. It also makes it a lot easier to deal with once you're out of the shower. 


This is the Body Shop body scrub - Fuji Green Tea. It smells AMAZING. I love this product. I bought it on a whim a while ago because I loved the smell so much, I couldn't walk away from it. As you can see, I've used it quite a lot. 



Finally, as if my shower hadn't already been long enough, I decided to use my St. Tropez in shower Gradual Tan. So i had to stand like a lemon for three minutes while it took affect and then wash it off. 


I finished my pamper session by moisturising my entire body in this L'Occitane Body Milk in Jasmine & Bergamote. If you read my blogs on a regular basis you'll have seen this mentioned before. It smells so nice. It reminds me of being on holiday. 


Normally with a pamper I would do my nails as well, but as you can see below, they're already done. I had shellac in Tutti Frutti done a few days ago. 


Just on a side note as well, I wrote this blog before drying my hair. That way, my hair has had a nice amount of time to dry itself. It makes drying your hair a lot quicker and therefore, less heat damage. 

 If nothing else, I hope this post inspires you to have a pamper evening of your own. We don't do it often enough and we all need a bit of relaxation every so often. Kick your man, kids, room mate (whoever you live with) out of the house and just relax. Trust me, it's worth it :)

NEW Rimmel London NUDE Collection

I love Rimmel Lipsticks and I was super excited when they released Kate's new Nude Collection. It's taken me a while and three different Boots and a Superdrug before I could get them all. Annoyingly, I have already managed to lose one of them. I think my naughty cat might have hidden it somewhere. Luckily, I did get a photo of it before she got her paws onto it.


Altogether in the collection there is 5 Nude Lipsticks and a Moisturising Balm. The Balm has a gorgeous taste to it too. :)

All of the colours look really nice on any skin tone. I've used all five and they all go great with any outfit. If I had to pick a favourite I would probably go with number 43. (Second one down my arm below)




They're a semi-matte texture so the lipsticks feel lovely when you have them on. They're all really moisturising and the colours are very flattering. 

The palest is probably my least favourite but I'll definitely wear all of them. They're great for the office or a night out. 


Rimmel have also brought out the Nude nail polishes. This one is the only one that I have from that collection and it's lasted really well on my nails. It's called 'Gentle Kiss' and because it's Nude it literally will go with any outfit. 


The best part about all of this is that I hardly paid anything for them. Most of them were free using my Boots Advantage Card or on buy one get one free. 
They're obviously proving to be very popular because most places are out of stock of most of them which is why it took me 4 shops & a good couple weeks to buy the lot. 

The nail polishes are £4.49 and the lipsticks are £5.49
