Wind down Wednesday: stress relieving products

Sometimes life is stressful, you're rushing around all the time and you hardly have time to think let alone pamper yourself - for times like that you need those go-to products you know will melt away those stresses and make you feel better in an instant! It's Wednesday now, we're halfway through the week and you might be needing that little pick me up that helps you carry on all the way til the weekend - so we've picked some of our favourite products that will do just that!

EMMA:

Soap and Glory Heel Genius

This really is totally amazing! Within days your feet are so soft that you can't help show them off!

Soap and Glory Sugar Rush

This fresh and foamy body wash is an energy-boosting citrus wake up call. It smells divine!

Soap and Glory shower gel

This leaves your skin soft, sexy and smooth!

Coconut and Honey bubble bath

You never want to leave your bath with this in it! It's an amazing price too at only £1.49 from Morrisons.

Lush face mask

This Catastrophe Cosmic fresh face mask is so refreshing! It leaves your skin so smooth with such a glow.

Baby oil

It's the biggest must-have going! I always use it straight on my wet skin. It dries quickly and leaves you with kissable skin!

Lush Moon and Sun steam tabs

These are amazing! You drop them in a bowl of really hot water and put your face over the bowl to steam your day's stress away. After you can re-use the water by putting it into a bottle in your fridge to keep it fresh - use it as cleanser to wash your face as the oil from the steam tab will refresh your skin daily for up to a month!

HARRIET:

Simple Vital Vitamin foaming cleanser

I've already confessed my love for Simple products on this blog and I really do enjoy using this cleanser, it's so inexpensive and really works well. It leaves your face feeling fresh and soft which is exactly what you want if you're a little tired!

Radox Muscle Therapy bath soak

Having a bath is one of the most relaxing things you can do in my opinion! And this soak from Radox is excellent to soothe away those aches and pains.

H&M nail varnishes in Blue My Mind, Come Along With Me and Bella's Choice

Painting my nails is something I always find time to do, no matter how busy I am. I think it just makes you feel so much better if you've got a pop of colour on your nails. These are my latest shades I picked up from H&M, it's the first time I've used their varnishes but I am really impressed and I love all three colours!

Wilko fruity bath fizzers

These bath fizzers were one of my stocking fillers last Christmas, I've already used the orange one which smelt divine and I'm really looking forward to using these.

Schwarzkopf Gliss Hair Repair shine tonic

I only discovered this hair product a couple of weeks ago but now I'm not sure how I lived without it - it's all too easy to lose shine on your hair when you're too busy to spend a long time on it so this is perfect to quickly spray over it to boost it a little, plus it smells beautiful!

Saturday smellies: our favourite beauty products

Tonight both of us will be hitting the town and going out for a few cheeky bevs and plenty of dancing with our lovely friends. Of course, half the fun of going out is getting ready and there are certain products we ALWAYS use. So while we pamper and preen ourselves to perfection here are just a few of our favourite beauty items.

EMMA: 

Love Spell - Victoria's Secret

This body spray has an amazing fresh yet sweet smell and lasts all day. A must use for day or night!

Bed Head Superstar Queen For a Day Thickening Spray

This is my favourite product for giving your hair a little bit of oomph and the smell is gorgeous.

Jergens Original Beauty Lotion (cherry and almond)

This body lotion is so soft on your skin and feels so luxurious as well as smelling amazing.

OPI nail varnishes

OPI is one of my favourite brands when it comes to nail products, I love the colours and just want them all!

Lush love heart moisturising bar

This makes your skin so soft and also gives it a little bit of shimmer which is perfect for a night out.

HARRIET:

Simple Kind to Skin Vital Vitamin day cream

Simple are unbeatable when it comes to kind-to-skin products that don't cost the earth - I won't use anything else!

Schwarzkopf Got2B Powderful volumizing styling powder

When you have as much hair as I do you need a tough product to get it looking volumized, I simply can't praise this little tub of powder enough and get through a ridiculous amount each month.

Superdrug apricot exfoliating mask

I rarely use Superdrug but always make sure I pop in to pick up their facemasks, I love how smooth my face feels after using this exfoliating one.

Models Own nail varnishes (Magenta Divine NP005 and Ibiza Mix HK04)

I'm obssessed with nail varnish and own pretty much every colour on the planet but I'm particularly loving these at the moment, much better (and thicker) than most glitter nail varnishes which only offer up about one sparkle per coat.

Wilko Sweet Vanilla and Honey shower smoothie

I only discovered this product a couple of weeks ago and now I don't know how I lived without it, hands down the best smelling product I've ever used. Good enough to eat (not advisable though!)

We hope you enjoyed this little insight into our beauty regimes!
