SUMMER PAMPER NIGHT

Ladies (and lads), cancel your Friday night plans - it's time to get pampered! I know, I know. It's been a long while since your last pamper session, but spending a little time on ourselves every once in a while is healthy and, quite frankly, it makes us happy. It's December, which means you're probably ridiculously busy, so you're probably even more so in need of some down time to indulge and rejuvenate yourself. After all, we can't be super heroes all the time, right?

I received the Kosmea and Toni & Guy products in the mail over the last couple of weeks and have been absolutely itching to give them a whirl. Now let's get down to business. Put down your phone, your smart tablet and/or your laptop, it's time to relax (do you even remember what that word means?). Rid your mind of all things work. Do it.

First thing is first, take off your makeup with the Kosmea Facial Cleansing Wipes. Truth be told, I don't use makeup wipes. Well, until now that is. I have always found that makeup wipes irritate my face, leaving me with sensitive and raw skin (in other words, I would have felt better sleeping with my makeup on, ew). Kosmea have officially changed my opinion on facial wipes, and when I discovered that the ingredient are all natural, including rose hip oil, olive oil and aloe vera, I wasn't surprised. After using the Facial Cleaning Wipes, my skin feels clean, fresh and hydrated.

I must admit that I often neglect the nourishment of my hair. I have always had healthy thick hair, which requires little maintenance. However, as the weather gets warmer I find myself continuously at the beach, which can be somewhat drying (for both hair and skin). I used the Toni & Guy Hair Meet Wardrobe Reconstruction Mask just last night, and boy does my hair feel super silky and soft. I can't remember the last time my fingers fell effortlessly through my hair, without even a tug. I'm definitely going to be changing my ways and keeping this bad boy on hand throughout the summer.

I also had to include the Toni & Guy Hair Meet Wardrobe Sea Salt Texurising Spray from the Casual Collection (available now from Priceline!). If you're like me, you enjoy a little texture up top, stepping away from the perfectly perfect not-a-strand-out-of-place hairdo. I applied it after I had completely dried my hair with a blow drier, mainly to my mid section and ends, and styled it simply with my fingers. The outcome was literally like I'd just finished a session at the beach, minus the flyways and frizziness. The best part about the Texturising Spray (apart from the amazing fragrance!) that you can control how much 'oomph' you want, whether you just want to add a little texture to straight hair or create big beachy waves. I don't think I'll be wearing my hair perfectly straight for a while, that's for sure!

Finally, before getting cosy in bed with a cup of tea and lemon, massage a few drops of Kosmea Limited Edition Certified Organic Rose Hip Oil on your face using clean fingers to further nourish your skin. This stuff is literally the bomb-diggity, I kid you not. As you are more than likely aware by now, Rose Hip Oil is good for all kinds of amazing things, but my favourite is that it reduces the appearance of blemishes (of which I have plenty). Kosmea's Limited Edition stands out for me as it seems to melt into my skin instantly.

Just remember that we might be super busy this time of the year, but it doesn't mean we can't feel fabulous whilst taking on the world. Deliberately schedule one night just for you, whether it's tomorrow or in a few weeks time. You won't regret it.
