It's half term! (finally) and although my exams aren't over yet, all my most dreaded ones are done and dusted so I should now have a lot more free time to focus on the blog again, yay! (and I hope a yay for you too ;) )To celebrate getting through the most stressful bit (5 exams the other day, 5!!! - not that I'm bitter or anything), I thought it would be nice to treat myself and have a really good pamper this evening, because with late night cramming, I haven't had enough time to really relax and enjoy a good bath. Here's what I will be using tonight:
Body - I'm going to really go to town tonight and crack out the Bain Moussant Lait de Karite from L'Occitane - fancy, huh? A good glug melted into the bath water provides a gentle foam which makes the water softer, milkier and so hydrating that I don't even feel the need to use a moisturiser afterwards. It smells amazing, creamy and sweet without being sickly, and provides the good dose of luxury that sometimes you just need.
Nails - My nails need a good pamper, they've been pretty neglected after the past couple of weeks and the chipping mani that I currently still have on ain't pretty. Who better to turn to than the king of the drugstore polish, Barry M, (I think I will be going for Raspberry, a mix between a hot pink and deep red - gorgeous) topped off with a coat of Seche Vite to give a glass like, gel finish.
Face - Baths are the time for masks, sit back, relax and let it do all the work. My favorite mask of all time has to be the Magnaminty, which I find just clears up my skin in no time and leaves it feeling all zingy, and decongested. Do be careful though to follow this up with a good moisturiser, because it can tend to dry out the skin a little if left on its own.
Now all that's left is to find a way to balance my laptop near the bath so I can watch all the Made in Chelsea's that I've missed without the possibility of dropping it in the bath - no shame.
