Winter Necessities

Winter Necessities

Hi Beauties! 

I hope all those of you experiencing winter at the moment are keeping warm! It's currently winter here in New Zealand, which is pretty evident by my dry hands and cracked lips. However, I have been on the hunt for the best solutions to these pesky winter issues and hope some of these things can help!

The Body Shop hand creams

The Body Shop have recently brought out quite a few new hand creams in some of there most popular scene and I am super obsessed with the wild rose one as well as the strawberry scent. Not only do these smell divine (seriously, the strawberry one makes me hungry!), but they make your hands super duper moisturised and hydrated. I'm a pretty big fan of The Body Shop due to the fact that they don't test on animals, and are also supporters of ethical trade and being environmentally friendly. From memory, I believe all of their hand creams are retailing for $12.70NZD, which is pretty descent for how much product you receive!

Blistex lip balm

This ones an oldie but a goodie! I have tried many different types of lip balms over the years aimed at healing my damaged winter lips, but I've found Blistex to be the only one that really works, having a super amazing effect on cracked lips, but also wind burn. I have to admit it does;t win the prize for nicest scent, and is a bit tingly on the lips, but I guess that means its working, right? For $7.50NZD its pretty high up on my essentials list.

Knitted headband

This ones a little bit different, but I have recently been really loving the knitted headbands that have begun to grow in popularity once again. Glassons have quite a few different styles available at the moment, which is where I picked mine up for $12NZD, which is a pretty reasonable price. I really love these because the keep my ears and head snuggly and warm but it means I don't need to go all out with a beanie. They look pretty cute too!

Patterned socks!

Another one thats a bit random but obviously your going to  need socks for winter, right? Kmart have been coming out with some really adorable patterns lately that are incredibly affordable at only $2NZD a pair. Obviously I'm a bit obsessed with them I have not only the pugs, bunnies and gingerbread men, but have also brought many pairs for everyone else I know just an excuse to buy some more.

What are some of your beauty fav's for winter?

Thanks for reading :)

♥ Pamper Evening Essentials ♥

Pamper evening essentials

We all love a good pamper, or spa day at home, and these products can help you achieve ultimate pamper night bliss!

Michael Todd Jojoba Charcoal facial Scrub:

This face mask is super perfect, organic and really good for your skin, removing dead skin and impurities. It also goes really well with the Michael Todd Moisture lite, non-oily hydrating lotion moisturiser, which is super hydrating.

Nivea refreshing moisture masks

These beauties are great for dry skin, and really lovely and cooling in summer. They contain aloe vera and vitamin E, and ask come in a super handy two application tear pack, which is great as you don't have to use all the product at once.

Frank original Coffee body scrub

You can't a beauty night without Frank. I love me some Frank, it smells great, removes dry skin and makes your skin soft like you won't believe!

Lush bath bombs

Now i'm quite sensitive to a lot of lush scents but the magic wand and space girl bath bombs are great and are super cute as well! These will amazing for a relaxing, bubbly bath.

Lush Shower gel
This Happy Hippy shower gel is super summery and refreshing, with hints of lemon and grapefruit in a adorable wee bottle. 

Nail polish

You can't have a successful spa day without beautified nails and toes, and the some of my faves include  Sally Hansen big Matte top coat which gives a rally cool matte effect to your nails. Essie (Sorry the shade number has peeled off! But its a beautiful pastel pink), and cite looking glass 131, which is a silver glitter. 

Electronic foot buffer

This is one product I am obsessed with! Mine is the brand Pedi, but scholl also do a great electronic, hand held foot buffer. This will make your feet smoother than you could ever believe, and is super fast and easy too! Its also really useful in that it comes with two heads-one for removing dead skin and one for buffing.

EOS lip balm
You can probably already tell I am obsessed with EOS, but they do wonders for your lips and the scent raspberry sorbet is heavenly!

Here we have it,

my pamper evening essentials!

Hope you enjoyed,

Love Becca
