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.

Sally Hansen 'Nailgrowth Miracle Serum' Review


Sally Hansen- Nailgrowth Miracle Serum Packaging
I've been using this product for the last two weeks now. I've actually noticed a massive difference. I decided that I'd properly start to stop biting my nails. I saw how popular this product was and thought it would really help to start off my nail growth. It comes with a puppet making it easy to apply the serum to the nails. I rubbed a drop of the serum into each one of my nails once a day and I have seen a massive improvement. 

It also comes with a puppet-Making it easier to apply the serum

Sally Hansen-Nailgrowth Miracle Serum













I don't have a 'before' picture of my nails :( but they were very short and very brittle. This serum has restored them completely. My nails used to grow to a certain point then break off but they are now so much stronger and feel a lot more smoother. It has also changed the appearance of my nails they now look so much healthier, they have that pinkish-red glow and the ends of my nails are quite white. So the serum really works wonders for nails. It has made them longer, stronger and healthier.


Left- My nail Progress
Right- The serum
Apologies that you can't really see my nails in the picture but they have grown a fair amount. As I continue to use the serum I will add updated pictures of my progress.The serum is quite thick but the nails very quickly absorb it. It doesn't smell great but the smell fades quickly after applying. As the serum is thick and gloopy it's very hard to get out of the bottle. The puppet doesn't pick up much product after a while. I have been using this everyday for two weeks and I think the product would have run out in another week. There isn't much product originally really but it's just gets harder and harder to get out of the bottle with each use.
