Bobbi Brown beach collection take 2

On Tuesday I posted a review on Bobbi Brown body wash from her Beach collection, safe to say I loved it and have unfortunately realised so does H2B lol.
Well no one will be getting their hands on the complimenting body lotion. As much as I loved the body wash I love the lotion 10 times more!

Look at the classy bottle!! Love it!

My last post was all about bringing the holiday's to us as we as a country are not taking our normal summer jollies. Well this lotion certainly follows that brief.

I found it to be the perfect lotion. Not sticky what so ever, so in hot weather( fingers crossed ) you won't feel even more clammy. Sinks in at almost lightning speed, major thumbs up.

It has all the moisturising property's that you need including Aloe Vera and jojoba. The other great thing and staying on the beach front ( haha ) it has Green Tea and Vitamin E and all these things together makes a lotion that keeps your skin soft, keeps the peeling at bay if you have caught a few rays and prolongs your tan, that you got responsibly of course!

As not being that much of a sun worshipper which is odd as I was born in Oz, I will be using this as my daily moisturiser because I love the smell and it's sink in ability.

Right now I can certainly see Bobbi Brown skin care becoming as great as her make up! I must say that now I am a Bobbi Brown girl I won't be straying far!

Massive thumbs up!!

Espa

If you are lucky enough to visit a Spa whether it be for a  weekend or indeed just a luxurious treat for the day, I would recommend visiting a Spa that uses Espa. Now for the past few posts I have been trying to recreate a spa at home so we need to look else where, luckily for us Espa have made the products they use in the relaxing and pampering beauty rooms available at home.

I had been given the chance to try the Body Silk Spray. This is the product that finishes your experience.

Normally I need a stronger moisturiser but when you have given your self a Spa experience all the soaking and scrubbing leaves your skin soft to start with so all you need is a mist of nourishment.
This spray leaves a nice sheen on your skin almost like a oil but without the waiting time for it to sink in before getting dressed. With Espa being a spa brand this spray is not just there to make your skin look and smell nice but it also has anti-oxidents in the form of Pomegranate so it keeps working on your skin long after you have used it.

I have also found that it is great to spray on your legs if your are getting your pins on as it leaves a subtle sheen and makes you look healthy.
What I would say is that you love the smell and want to use it on a daily basis you may want to use it as a final mist over the skin as I am not sure it is moisturising enough to go it alone.

This is a great addition to your kit for a at home Spa, packed with more natural ingredients than you can shake a freshly scrubbed stick at!

Gloves on

We are always blogging about shower creams/gels and oils but what do you prefer to use to lather your favourite up?
I have never been able to get on with flannels as nothing seems to foam up very well on them and they seem a bit faffy...if that's even a word?
Never really understood how people just use their hands either, it takes quite along time to lather up and is quite difficult in the bath.

I used to like using a shower puffy but could never find one that was harsh enough or didn't fall apart after one wash. I have now found the holy grail(in my opinion) of bath accessories. The bath gloves.
The best thing about these is that they are fast, gel on and scrub frantically in the morning and anything that helps me get out of the bath quicker is a bonus.  They are rather hash but to me that is great because although I love using body scrubs they add another step on to your routine right? So if your anything like me you save it till the weekend, well these gloves are fab at giving a little exfoliation in every wash. So you buff and clean the skin but they also help keeping ingrown hairs at bay if you shave and help your moisturiser sink in as there are hardly any dead skin cells. Bonus huh??

You can buy the gloves at any chemist or supermarket ranging from a pound upwards

It would be great to hear what your favourite thing is whether you like gloves or something else works for you

Body lotion that enriches more than just your skin!

I am a bit worried about how much I love the Elemis Nourishing hand and body lotion. Yes it is true I have started a bit of a love affair with Elemis but this body lotion is amazing.
It is a nice, thick lotion but does not take ages to sink in. It leaves no rough patches on your skin...at all, even your heels. Your skin will love you if you slather this lotion on.
The smell is amazing I actually made a hmmmmm noise when I smelt it and on the days that I use it I wear no perfume...Infact I wish they made it into a perfume lol! I hope some one from Elemis reads my pleads!

I was luck enough to receive it for Christmas but now I won't be able to be without it! I am only using it a few times a week or when I need cheering up at the moment. Once I stock up though I will be using it every day. It is bliss in a bottle.
This super size was actually in a gift set and I will be writing posts on each of the items in the bag as there is not a bad one in there.
This lotion will certainly be going in my hospital bag as it is the perfect soother to both body and soul.

Treat yourself to this and you will not regret it!!

Relax before Christmas with L'Occitane

If you are looking for something indulgent for friends or family or even a sneaky treat for yourself look no further than L'Occitane!
They have brought out lots of fantastic gift sets for Christmas to tempt our pampering side.
I became a very lucky girl when the postman brought L'Occitane's Romantic Rose collection to my door.
What a fantastic collection, it has everything you need for a pamper session on your own or take inspiration from the name and share it with your partner.

You get the most gorgeous Rose scented candle that fills the room with a lovely glow and a relaxing rose scent that sticks around for ages. You would not think rose would be a relaxing fragrance but I soon found myself drifting away and dreaming of a holiday. 
After running a bath and lighting the candle you can reach for the shower gel. You get a generous 75ml. I added a little bit to the bath water as well as used it as a cleansing gel to completely envelope me in the smell.
You feel lovely and clean afterwards and even if you did not follow with any of the other products the rose smell would linger lightly on the skin.
If you prefer washing with a soap you are taken care of as there is a big 50g bar included.


If you prefer to have a bathing routine L'Occitane include a body lotion to follow to keep skin silky and hydrated. My skin has never felt softer than after using this set.

To take with you on the move there is a Rose scented gel formulation of the hand cream, it sinks in within seconds so no slippy hands.
The top dog in this set is the bottle of Rose 4 Reines Eau de Toilette. It is a massive size to give as a gift. The smell is really sophisticated but still fresh so you could give it to a girl of any age or keep it for yourself (shh I won't tell anyone)
 So for a big piece of luxury for under £50 turn to L'Occitane and they will do all the work for you and you know you will be giving something amazing for Christmas!
