Hello everyone!
Yesterday evening, I decided to have a bit of a pamper night. I was very tired from travelling home from Dublin and pamper evenings always make me feel better. I had also bought a few new products in Dublin that I wanted to try out, so I used this as an excuse!!
So to start off with, I removed my makeup because it had been on since eleven o'clock that morning and between travelling and sleeping on a hot bus, it was starting to feel disgusting! To do this I used my trusty Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water. I just popped some on to a cotton pad and wiped it all over my face. I then saw that Mam had bought some Cleansing Milk in Lidl, so I decided to try this to make sure everything was removed. I found it worked really well, except for the stinging of my eyes which I then had to splash some cold water on to.... Whoops...
A pamper evening is never complete without a bath! In my bath, I used the Zoella Fresh Fizz Bath Bomb (from her new collection) and I also added some of the Zoella Foam Sweet Foam Shower Gel to add bubbles. You could say I had a Zoella bath! I also threw in a handful of Epsom salts and a few drops of lavender. When the temperature was right, I hopped in and started to relax.
I always have to play music when I'm in the shower or the bath. My music choice these days is my Troye Sivan playlist on Spotify! Basically, I just have Trxye and Wild in one place to create a magical playlist!! I'm in love with this guy and his music right now! So proud of our little Troye <3
I did all the usual stuff in the bath - wash my hair, exfoliate etc. I also washed my face with my Clean & Clear Exfoliating Daily Wash and then applied my new Lush Mask of Magnaminty. I'm absolutely loving this facemask at the moment and I'm definitely seeing some improvements to my face when I use it!
For some reason, I feel extra good after I shave my legs. I'm not the type of person that stops shaving once Autumn/Winter comes around because I just feel more confident knowing that I have smooth legs, even if they're not on show. So of course, that's what I did next! Nothing special with this process, just your usual shaving cream and razor.
Once I was out of the bath, I dried off and moisturised. I used (surprise, surprise!) the Zoella Candy Cream Body Lotion. This stuff just smells amazing and it leaves your skin feeling so soft and fresh! Even this morning, I can still feel the softness it left behind!!
Usually, I just let my hair dry naturally, but last night I decided to blow dry it as it was quite late and I hate going to bed with wet hair! So that's exactly what I did. I used my Nicky Clarke hairdryer (it's pink!!) to dry my hair roughly, nothing too fancy for that hour of the night.
Pyjamas were next on the agenda. I put on a pair of fluffy pyjama bottoms and a string top. I know, strange combination... I put a jumper on over the top to keep me nice and warm. Fluffy socks were also a must!
I painted my nails using the Wet n Wild MegaLast Nail Colour in Through the Grapevine. There's just something about painting your nails that makes you feel special!
I then had some chill time and laptop time in the sitting room. With tumblr on my laptop and Great British Bake-off on the television, I felt very relaxed. However, I soon decided to go down to bed. So I made myself a hot chocolate in my favourite Frozen mug, and hopped into bed to watch some YouTube before going to sleep.
And that was that!
I always love when I have one of these pamper evenings. I've been feeling very stressed lately so I really needed an evening like this where I could just look after myself and relax.
What do you do for a pamper evening?
Until next time.
