My Pamper Favourites

Hello everyone,

I thought I would share my Pampering favourites with you! I love to have a pamper day or a few hours, this is always on a Sunday before another new week at school. 



Around mid day time I apply a hair mask, and try to let it sit in their for a few hours at least. I love the Body Shop Rainforest Moisturising Hair Butter, this leaves my hair feeling to hydrated and feeling very soft. (£8.00 - Link)

Then before I run a bath I apply a face mask, I have been using the Boots Botanics Shine Away Clay Mask. I leave this on for as long as I am in the bath for, this makes my skin feel a lot less oily and takes the shine away. (£6.99 - Link)

A pamper session isn't the same without a bath bomb. I have a Lush one because in my opinion they are the best, this one is called Big Blue. This looks and feels amazing in the bath, also this makes a bath feel a bit more luxurious. (£3.25 - Link) 

I love burning candles in the bath, they look so pretty with the lights off, and smell amazing! I have a Yankee Candle Large Jar Candle in Bunny Cake. This is something they don't sell anymore but any candle from them is amazing! (£19.99 - Link)

Having my shower gel and body scrub matching is a dream, I was using the Mango Sugar body scrub and the Mango Shower Gel. These smell amazing and feel amzing on the skin, you can 100% that they are working. (£4.00 - Link and £13.00 - Link)

Yankee Candle// Tarts & Collection

Hello everyone,

This is going to be a long one, I have debating weather to do this for a while, because I weren't sure if it was going to be interesting. But I am going to do it any way because someone out their must find this interesting. This is going to be my Yankee Candle collection of Tarts, plus a tiny review!


With Yankee Candle tarts you have to buy a tart wax burner, I brought mine from Asda, this is part of the Yankee Candle Simply Home collections. I didn't want to spend too much but this was around £5-£7. You have to get some unscented tea light candles and put the at the bottom of the burner, then you need to buy a tart and place that in the top. You light the tea light and your done. I have also mentioned these is a haul but I have two large jar candles in Fruit Fusion and Bunny Cake, the bunny cake is limited edition for Easter 2014.

My opinion on the Tart's is kind of mixed. I love that they are so cheap, also the scents are more widely available and they also do really nice scents. But my only thing about this is the scents are that strong, because they are so small. By this it doesn't let that much scent out compared to the Large Jar Candles. But they release more scent in the beginning. In my opinion these are much safer than a Jar Candle, because the flame is hidden more. Also you need to buy a big pack of the tea lights because they burn so quickly!

Haul// Yankee Candle, Body Shop & More

Hello everyone,

I have been doing a bit of shopping lately and I love doing haul. This means I have another one for you and it has no Lush in it (gob smacked)! But I have some things from Yankee Candle (what a surprise), The Body shop, Boots and more.



Yankee Candle large jar candles - Bunny Cake and Fruit Fusion - £19.99

Just like Lush I can honestly admit I am addicted to Yankee Candle! I have lots of there Tarts too much infact. And today I added two large jar candles to my collection. These smell like heaven, I am currently burning Fruit Fusion. I am looking to buy more but there not cheap but so worth it.



The Body Shop Satsuma and Mango shower gel. Strawberry lip butter and Strawberry Body Puree.

I love the body shop so much, I have way too much but it's like Lush I can't stop buying it. I think there stuff is very affordable and smell amazing. I have nearly everything in the Strawberry range, also the Satsuma range smells heavenly like the Mango range. And you can't go wrong with shower gel can you!



Tresemme Salon finish hairspray, Rimmel Match perfection loose powder and  Revlon ColorBurst Lacquer balm (Demure) 

I have always wanted to try the Tresemme hair spray, this is never a brand I ever get, I have always gone for something different but I needed some more hairspray. I also have wanted to try some loose powders and I saw that Rimmel had one to match my favourite foundation. Also Revlon have recently released there new balms (Matte and Lacquer) I had to try one.



Company Magazine April 2014 - £2.60 

I went into Whsmiths looking for Allure magazine, but instead stumbled across this magazine with this beauty, Zoe AKA Zoella. She is a fellow Youtuber and Beauty blogger. I love Company magazine and to find my one of my favourite youtubers on the front of it, I had to get it. I haven't read this yet but will be after this post.

 

Knitted Heart cushion (Can't find online)

I have a bedding from next and it has a matching throw, which is knitted and I got the matching pillow for Christmas. My mum was browsing the Next sale and found this for me and brought it. And it matches my other pillow, bedding and throw. I love this so much it doesn't look like a heart :/ but I can reshape it.


Have you brought anything lately?

Haul// Chanel, Lush and Yankee Candle

Hello everyone,

I promised a haul and this is it. Yesterday I went into town and got a few things, I got things from Lush, Yankee Candle and something from Chanel. I brought everything apart from the Chanel things my mum brought that for me because I got an A in my business course work.




If you follow me on Instagram (Click here) I posted a picture of a Chanel bag and this is what was inside it. I got the Chanel Levres Scintillantes Lipgloss in Amour 166. This looks more pink in the picture but it is a coral with very find shimmers. This is £21.00




I am such a fan of Yankee Candle, for my birthday last year I got a Yankee Candle tart burner, this is the nicest thing ever and I am kind of obsessed with buying tars I have way too many. But I picked up the Turquoise Sky, Black Coconut, Sicillan Lemon, Summer Scoop and Pink dragon fruit. These are £1.25 each.



Every time I walk past Lush I always go in, I have way too much but I can't stop buying there products. When I found out they had there Mothers day and Easter collection out, I just had to. I got the (Left to right, Top to bottom) The Bright side Bubble bar - Easter (£4.50), Inhale Exhale Bath bomb - Mothers day (£3.25), Secret Garden Bath bomb - Not sure (£2.95) and Fluffy Egg Bath bomb - Easter (£2.95).

It wasn't too much, but I can guarantee you another Lush haul, I want so much more of there Easter collection.
