End of Week Pamper
January 16, 2015
For most of us it's the end of the working week, and for me Fridays are where I like to unwind and get myself ready for the weekend whether I have plans or not. I thought i'd share some of my favourite products to use when having an end of week pamper and you never know, you may find yourself running a bath after reading.
This week for me hasn't been to stressful, but I definitely feel that I need to treat myself with half an hour of relaxation, so first step is to run a hot bath, light some candles and get your Youtube subscription box at the ready. I'm really loving Essie Buttons Vlog Channel at the minute and after meeting her at The Clothes Show, Brogan Tate xo has become a new favourite of mine.
Anyway, back to the bath and usually I will head on over to my Lush stash and see what i've got in there and here i've opted for the Luxury Lush Pud as my bath bomb of choice and also the Drummers Drumming Bubble Bar to add a few extra bubbles in there. I love the smell of these two products and they make your bath look so colourful that you'll never want to get out! Usually whilst i'm having a pamper i'll always whack out a hair mask, so after shampooing with whatever is lying around, i'll coat the ends of my hair with The Body Shop Rain Forest Moisture Butter (£3) and leave that on for about 10 minutes, whilst catching up some Youtube videos. This mask is lovely as it just gives your hair a lovely conditioning, leaving it feeling so soft and also smelling pretty great.
Also whilst in the bath, a body scrub will always be involved and i've gone for my favourite Soap & Glory Sugar Crush Body Scrub (£8) as if my bathroom isn't already smelling sweet enough, i've added this into the mix. I love this scrub, as i'm sure you're aware but it just leaves your skin feeling so soft and smelling incredible. After half an hour or so has past, i'll eventually pull myself out of the bath, dry off and then coat myself with The Body Shop Raspberry Body Butter (£13), which smells flipping incredible. I love this because it leaves my skin feeling so soft and also smelling like raspberry yoghurt, so good!
Once i've got into my cosiest pyjamas, i'll then move onto the skincare side of things and firstly i'll cleanse with whatever cleanser I decide and then go in with two face masks, yes two! First off is the Origins Clear Improvements Mask (£23), which is great for sorting out any blemishes and just giving your pores a good old clean. As clay masks can be quite stripping and drying, I then go in with the Origins Drink Up Mask (£23). (Yes i've photographed the wrong one, oops!) This, you apply and leave this for 10 minutes to just infuse some moisture back into the skin and I find a combo like this to work so well for my skin.
So that is my little guide to an end of week pamper, one that should work for everyone!
Are you having a pamper tonight?

I really like the Origins face masks. I love a good pampering session at the week - I normally go for a long bath on a Sunday.

I would love to try the Origins face masks; I've heard so many great things about them! The Body Shop body butters are amazing, but I wasn't too big a fan of the Raspberry one. I do like the Olive and Vitamin E offerings.

Every pamper session needs a bit of The Body Shop. Just the loveliest scents.

Such a lovely line-up of products. I remember loving the Body Shop Raspberry Body Butter. It was such a nice scent, especially for the warmer months! xx

I am trying to relish in the fact that I won't have a bathtub for college next year, so I am trying to take a bath every Sunday night! Face masks are an essential on pamper nights for me as well, and I think I might try out some of the Origins ones next :)

I love the Lush Pud, it makes me sad that it's only sold at Christmas, same with Snow Fairy! So I usually buy myself a few and hide them in my drawers, to find and use throughout the year! And it makes my Pyjamas/coursework smell nice - depending on where I've hidden it!!

I was so happy when the Body Shop introduced the Raspberry scent, I much prefer raspberry scents to strawberry scents. I've not tried the body butter yet but I can imagine it's gorgeous, the one raspberry thing I've tried is the eau de toilette which I like to wear in the daytime. Looking on the Body Shop website the scent isn't available anymore and the body butter and scrub are reduced - I hope this doesn't mean they are getting discontinued! :(
