I’m quite a busy bee lately, and so I always try to
find time to pamper myself and really detox from a hectic working week. There’s
no better way, I find, than to give myself a little home spa session! I’ve got
a list of old faithfuls that I always bring out when I need some extra TLC, so
I decided I’d review them here for you lovelies!
Aussie
Beach Mate Shampoo and Conditioner
Purely for the smell, this one is so luxurious and
decadent. As well as this, it’s a gorgeously moisturising duo and doesn’t come
in too pricey. It’s the same formula as the Miracle Moist, so it gives my dry
ends a good dousing with nourishing oils and when you lather it up it smells
incredible.
Alpha H
Microcleanse and Balancing Cleanser
These two babies are really good cleansers and get rid
of all the makeup and dirt and dead skin that might have built up, leaving me
feeling very fresh and very clean. The Alpha H lot are pretty pricey, so I do
tend to save it for 'special occasions', that being when I feel I need a deep
cleanse, and it really works for me. The microcleanser is hands down my
favourite exfoliator by the way, it's got really really tiny grains so they get
in all the nooks and crannies around your nose and it makes me skin feel
incredible.
Babescrub
No.2 Coffee
If you want a look at the entire range, then I did a
massive long post on all three scrubs (link)
but this one is definitely the favourite of the lot. It's a dry scrub and feels
amazing, smells amazing, and leaves your skin feeling incredibly soft. You can
also leave it on your body for 5 minutes before rinsing, which acts like a huge
body mask which I do sometimes and it is gorgeous.
Macadamia
Deep Repair Masque
Again, just because I'm beyond in love with this hair
masque, I did a full review of it which you can read here (link)
but seriously, when I'm feeling a little bit worse for ware, and my hair is
looking tatty and dry, this little beauty fixes absolutely all my issues. My
only qualm is that the tub really isn't big enough for me! I smooth this on
after shampooing and conditioner-ing and leave it for about an hour, and when I
rinse it off my hair feels so unbelievably nourished, smooth and silky.
Skinfood
Mud Masque
A full review is available here (link).
This is a wonderful face mask and I really feel pampered after I use it. I love
clay masks because they get right deep into your pores and cool and soothe
while they dry. The Skinfood one in particular is great, because it darkens in
the areas that it draws lots of oil and dirt out of, so you can really see it
working, making you feel extra pretty once it comes off.
Clarisonic
Mia 2
There's a long full review here (link)
but this has genuinely saved my life and stopped my spots from ruining my
confidence. This is a cleansing brush which feels like a really nice facial,
and exfoliates deep down to brighten the skin and keep it bacteria and grease
free. Over time, this has reduced the size of the spots I get, and I only
really suffer with them on my chin now. Top marks!
Original
Source Shower Gel in Vanilla and Raspberry
My beautiful friend Emily (blog and youtube)
put this baby in her Drugstore Favourites video last week and I loved the look
of it. I didn't realise it would smell quite so amazing! I don't even believe
it's real! This is perfect for a pamper session because it fills the entire
room with such a delicious smell and it lathers up beautifully, and leaves the
skin smooth and soft and smelling gorgeous.
