Pamper Night Essentials





Simple-Cleansing facial wipes
Firstly start by taking off all of your make up. It'll make your face feel really fresh and clean. I love these make up remover wipes by Simple as they get off all of your make up and leaves your face feeling very moisturised and refreshed. Also amazing for removing heavy eye make up and mascara.
Superdrug-Tropical smoothie self-heating mask
 
A face mask is a pamper essential. They cleanse your pores deep down and also are very relaxing. They're so cheap as well! This one is from Superdrug and is self-heating, so as soon as you apply it to your face it gets warm and smells so amazing.

Yankee Candles
Yankee candles are the best thing I've ever smelt. I put these around the edge of my bath and they make me so relaxed. This is a very good idea if you're stressed and they add so much cuteness to a bathroom.
Radox-Original bubble bath
I love bubble bath so much. I just used this Radox one as it makes loads of bubbles and helps you to relax. Apparently it also helps you sleep at night if you have a bath before you go to bed. 
Nivea-Harmony time shower cream
I love using shower creams as they're a lot thicker than a gel and applies really nicely to the skin. It smells so nice! The scent isn't too overpowering but stays on skin for a long time. It's also found that it's very moisturising and restores dry skin quickly.

Soap & Glory-Body buff
This is one of my all time favourite body products. It smells AMAZING. I am a big fan of body scrubs and this has definitely been one of the best that I've tried. It's basically like a sugar/salt scrub which applies really well to the skin. A little goes a long way and it's really moisturising. It's great if you're a fake tanner and exfoliate before tanning or if your skins very dry. 

Vaseline-Spray & go body moisturiser
This is a fairly newish product. I love how easy it is to apply and dries so quickly. As the spray is so light it sinks into skin fast. At first I really loved the smell but after a while it gets a bit overpowering but really after a while the smell fades anyway. This is still a very good product though.
Bio-Oil
Words cannot explain how amazing Bio-Oil is. It's one of those raved about products that will also be in everyone's beauty regime. I use this more to moisturise my skin especially in the summer when you get dry patches. This leaves my skin feeling so soft and keeps it looking healthy. This products good to apply after washing off heavy make up as it helps your skin breath.

Barry M Gelly- Blueberry
Barry M- 272 Shocking Pink
Soap & Glory- Hand food
Don't forget the finishing touches. My favourite hand cream is the 'Hand Food' by Soap & Glory. It smells so nice and also hydrates my hands and nails. I used the light purple colour on my nails and the dark pink nail paint on my toenails. I also like to add sparkly glitter to my nails which looks so nice on top of Barry M nail paint.  

Clairol- Root touch-up
Sometimes when I have a pamper evening I like to dye my roots. I hate roots so much! I use the Clairol root touch-up, it's so easy to use and also matching my hair colour amazingly. I'd definitely recommend this if you only have a fairly small section of roots to dye.

My Drugstore Skincare Routine

Simple- Kind to skin cleansing facial wipes
I use the Simple- kind to skin cleansing facial wipes to wipe off my make up. The wipes make it very easy to remove all make up. Also good for dark make up and around the eyes. Also very moisturising and suitable for most skin types.  


balance Me- Pure skin face wash,
Clean&Clear- Advantage fast actiondaily wash,
Neutrogena- Visibly clear
 
I use the balance Me  face wash twice a day. I like this as it leaves my skin feeling very hydrated and cleansed. I use the Clean&Clear daily wash when I have breakouts as this is a heavier, deeper cleanser and helps clear spots quicker. I use the Neutrogena Visibly clear  mainly as a face mask. I use this once/twice a week to unblock my pores and cleanse my skin deeply.

Add  Simple- Kind to skin hydrating light moisturiser,
Bio-Oil

I use the Simple light moisturiser after I've cleansed my face in the morning. I use this before I apply my make up. It's very moisturising. It sinks into skin very easy and fast. It isn't to heavy and is a good make up base. I apply the Bio- Oil every night after I've washed off my make up and cleansed my skin. It's really good at hydrating skin and also evens out skin tone. 


Sudocrem,
Clean&Clear- Advantage fast action spot treatment gel


 
I use the Sudocrem as a face mask once a week. It's very good for spots/breakouts and blemishes. It balances out red blemishes and uneven skin tones. This is also good for applying on spots and tones them down and cancels out the redness. I only use the Clean&Clear spot treatment gel when I have a breakout. I just apply it to the spots and leave overnight. I repeat this for two/three nights.



 Burt's Bees- Beeswax lip balm
Vaseline- Cocoa butter
Carmex- Strawberry moisturising lip balm


 

I love all three of these lip products. They're all very moisturising. They are colourless so good to apply either under or over lipstick. My favourite is the Vaseline cocoa butter. It's so hydrating, it smells amazing and there's so much product in the tin. I've gone through so many of these!
