GET "UNREADY" WITH ME: WEEKEND EDITION

Hey guys, i hope you are all having an amazing day whatever you are up to and happy monday! So yesterday was sunday...obviously and for today's post i thought i would share with you my get unready beauty/pamper routine...

First things first you've got to get rid of that makeup and just lately i have been loving this combination of products. Firstly i take the Estée Lauder Eye Makeup Remover onto two cotton pads and i remove all of my eye makeup, then taking a small amount of the Estée Lauder Take It Away Lotion on my fingers and rubbing it all over the rest of my face and rinse with water. Next up is a facial exfoliator and i am loving this one from L'Oreal it is the Skin Perfection Radiance Revealing one, i just apply some of the product onto my fingers and then massage it all over my face before rinsing it away with a damp face cloth. 

 Bathroom pamper time, i decided to use this Candy Mountain Bubble Bar from Lush what i had still in my little Lush product stash along with the limited edition valentine's Prince Charming Shower Gel... which i am obsessed with (not as much as snow fairy though i must add). I also used some of the Scrub of your Life from Soap & Glory.

Seeing as my face is all squeaky clean and makeup free, it's time for some skincare. Firstly i like to apply some of the L'Oreal Skin Perfection Advanced Correcting Serum to my face and also my neck, next i also apply some of the Estée Lauder Advance Night Repair Serum mainly concentrating that around my eye area. Next up is moisturizer and i follow up using the L'Oreal Skin Perfection Anti Fatigue Perk-Up Cream, i also apply this all over my face and neck just as i did the Serum. Finally i apply some of the Estée Lauder Advanced Time Zone Eye Cream.

I had almost forgotten this step, you've got to take care of them lips just as much as your skin. I love this Bubblegum Lip Scrub from Lush as it just removes any dryness that has built up on your lips, whether that's from wearing lipstick all day, the cold weather or even a combination of the two.

It is almost time to put them pyjamas on (who else agrees that is the best part of the day?) but firstly i like to apply some of the Daily Smooth Body Butter from Soap & Glory to keep all of my skin feeling super silky smooth and soft.

And when all the beauty/pampering things are done it is time for the entertainment. Last tuesday i purchased this months new copy of Glamour magazine for the soul purpose that Jamie Dornan is on the cover *man crush alert* but i only just got around to reading it. Words can't describe how excited i am about going to watch the movie at the weekend. After some light reading and drooling at how gorgeous that man is it is time for some TV and the show i am hooked on right now is The Mysteries of Laura, which if you haven't heard or seen anything about the show, it is a police comedy/drama series starring Debra Messing who is fricking hilarious in general.

BLOGMAS DAY TWENTYTWO: CHRISTMAS PAMPER EVENING

Hey guys, i hope you are all having an amazing day and welcome to blogmas day twenty-two! Can you believe Christmas is only a couple days away now and that means blogmas will be over. For today's post i thought i would share with you my christmassy pamper session from last night. After all Sunday is known as the day of rest right?

First things first there is nothing like setting a relaxing mood by lighting a candle or two. This is the Christmas Baking Votive from the Simply Home range by Yankee Candle.

First up on the beauty side of things is none other than my holy grail face mask. I love applying a face mask especially when i am feeling rubbish and if my skin is feeling blah.

Next up is bath or shower time, i am loving all the festive items from Lush especially the Snow Fairy Shower Gel, i can't go a day without using it! P.S how cute is this melting snowman?

Once we are all beautified, next on the schedule is putting on some festive pyjamas and it's time to make a lovely hot chocolate.

Time to light a different candle, i can't even begin to tell you how amazing this one smells. I never knew that sunlight on snow had a scent but apparently it must have ha ha. 

Lastly all is left to do is snuggle in bed all cozy and watch some of my favourite Christmas Movies, i especially love Elf it is such a good film, which never gets old!

HALLOWEEN WEEK: PAMPER EVENING

Hey guys, i hope you are all having a great day whatever you are up to! So for the second installment of "Halloween Week" i am going to be showing you more than likely the Halloween evening i will be having and my favourite things to do...

There is nothing better than a good pamper session by having a nice hot shower or bath using your favourite products. You could also treat yourself to your very own "Halloween Mask" aka a face mask, i am still obsessed with this one by No7 it's my holy grail! Why not go all out and light your favourite candle, i'm loving this Ghostly Treats one by Yankee Candle.

Once you are done in the bathroom and you've gotten yourself into your favourite pjs, make yourself your favourite hot chocolate and add marshmallows (why not it is Halloween after all). 

Last but not least it's time to relax and freak out by watching a horror movie or if you are like me and aren't into horror movies, just stick on your favourite TV show. I will most definitely be watching some Pretty Little Liars...

MY WEEKEND IN PICTURES

Last week i was thinking of new and different ideas for this weeks coming blog posts and i had seen a few other people doing "my week in pictures". So i thought i would do something a little different to start off with and just do "my weekend in pictures". I didn't do lots and lots this weekend but i did document it...

Friday...

I spent most of the day just working on blog posts and catching up with things.

Friday evening was most definitely a pamper evening. I used my Neutrogena Wave power cleanser for the first time in a while and i must say i noticed almost straight away how much better my skin felt. I also used my holy grail face mask No7 purifying sauna mask.

As well as having a good facial pamper i also used the Sanctuary Spa salt scrub whilst in the shower, i love this body scrub it is so intense and effective. Afterwards i used the Sanctuary Spa body moisture spray. I love the relaxed feeling i get after using these products, i suppose with them being spa products you are supposed to feel that way haha!

Saturday...

My Saturday afternoon was spent here, watching the football. We played against AFC Wimbledon and won 1-0 YAY! (I should of taken a photo once the stands had filled up more but i forgot, my bad)!

Saturday evening i went out for drinks and some dinner to a place called Il Rosso which is an Italian restaurant/bar in my home town. I had chicken calzone with fries and it was so so good.

And of course if you go out for dinner, it's considered rude not to have dessert, right? I had hot chocolate fudge cake and lets just say i could hardly move afterwards, major food coma!

Sunday...

Sunday (yesterday) was Mother's Day in UK and Ireland. My chummy aka my mum got spoiled with presents from my two sisters and i. 

Sunday afternoon/evening i just spent watching movies, relaxing and not really doing much. I am obsessed with watching Frozen at the moment, so that was a must!

Hope you all had a lovely weekend, what did you get up to?

 

PAMPER EVENING/GETTING UNREADY

So sometimes as i think we would all agree that when we have/are in a rubbish mood and feeling down, there is nothing better than a good pampering session to make us feel a lot better. Even if you're not in a rubbish mood it is still good to give yourself a good pampering, so it's time to get unready for bed and have that good pampering...

First i like to remove the days makeup off of my face, using my NARS makeup removing water and The Body Shop Vitamin E cream cleanser using cotton pads.

Next i am going to apply my The Body Shop warming mineral mask, i am a huge lover of warming face masks and prefer them over other types. When i don't apply a face mask i just wash my face with a facial wash or scrub. I like to leave the face mask on for around 5 minutes and rinse off when i get in the shower.

Once i am in the shower and i have rinsed off the face mask, i am going to do my usual shower routine using The Body Shop limited edition blueberry shower gel and the pink grapefruit scrub-gelee (can you sense a The Body Shop theme here, in previous blog posts i have mentioned how much i have fell back in love with their products). Next i shampoo and condition my hair using my current favourites Aussie miracle moist, rinse away then its time to get out of the shower.

Once out the shower and i am dried off i apply my body lotion/butter all depends on what i am using at the time, at the moment yet again another The Body Shop item the pink grapefruit body butter.

Last off in the bathroom i apply my moisturizers and lip scrub. The Body Shop Vitamin E night cream, Elderflower unperfumed eye gel and Lush bubblegum lip scrub. Then it is time to head to my room.

Once in my room it is time to tackle my hair. I like to leave my hair wrapped in a towel for about 10 minutes to soak up some of the water, then i apply my leave in conditioner Aussie miracle recharge and a Charles Worthington straightening cream before brushing through my hair with my tangle teezer. All is left to do then is blow dry my hair then i am done.

Then all that is left to do is relax in bed with my pyjamas on, either watching YouTube videos or a TV show. I hope you have all had an amazing weekend whatever your plans were.

What are your must have items to have a pamper night?
