Post Christmas Depression Pamper





Hello! And merry (late) Christmas! Today I was in the mood to write about something related so I decided to share what I'm calling "My Post Christmas Depression Pamper". I'm probably not the only one who after Christmas is over is depressed about it, and just wants Christmas to come around all over again. So I thought I would share my pamper routine for when I just want to relax and pretend like it's Christmas again, by using Christmassy related products. Anyway let's get into this!

So the first thing I do whenever I'm having a pamper routine is to light a candle and put on some music. Today as we're trying to get back into the spirit I put on some Christmas music, and one of my favourites is The Vamp's album "Meet the Vamps (Christmas Edition)". And I lit the Diptyque "Ambre" candle which is quite a warm, woody and elegant scent, which is quite spicy too, it's very relaxing!

Next I start running a bath, I have a bath whenever I have a pamper evening because it's a great thing to do when you want to unwind and relax. Anyway after I do that I put in some products, the first one is a lush "Magic Wand Bubble Wand", it is a big pink star on the end of a stick, (a magic wand), and it smells like sweet cotton candy, basically the scent of Snow Fairy Shower Gel in a bubble bar. To use this you swirl it around running water. Then when my bath is ready I pop in a bath bomb, and today I used another lush product, "Golden Wonder Bath Bomb" which is shaped like a present and it is gold with a white bow, it smells very zesty and fresh and the idea is you put it into the bath and as it fizzes it reveals a turquoise explosion, which is very pretty.

Once I'm in the bath I tend to put on a face mask, one of my favourites is a new one from lush called "Rosey Cheeks", which is a pink coloured face mask which smells like roses; it is very relaxing and soothing on the skin, it removes dirt and tones your skin too. Once that's on I like too use a body conditioner, also from lush, surprise surprise, anyway a body conditioner is basically a hair conditioner for your body, so the idea is it cleans your skin leaving it feeling really soft and pampered. My favourite is from the Christmas collection and it's called "Christingle", it smells very minty and fresh and is a bright blue colour.

When I'm finally out of the bath I take off the face mask and head back into my bedroom to moisturise. My favourite moisturiser at the moment is from & other stories, which is a brand which sells jewellery, make up, perfume, clothes and of course bath and body products. I like the body soufflé's they do there and in particular the "Sirocco Sands Body Soufflé" which is really moisturising and leaves your skin feeling really silky and smooth. The scent itself is very warm, woody and slightly fruity, it is also feels very light on your skin, and the scent isn't too strong once it's on. Finally I like to give my lips a little bit of a pamper, and I like the Body Shop's "Wild Argan Oil Solid Oil Lips", it smells amazing, very nutty and luxurious, and it gives your lips a nice shine and it hydrates them too.

What are your favourite "Post Christmas Depression Pamper" products?
