Beauty & Fashion Fortnight – And Relax… Pamper yourself!

Posted: March 23rd, 2011 | Author: Leila | Filed under: Uncategorized | No Comments »

Due to some technical issues, we’ve extended our Fashion and Beauty week and renamed it … Beauty & Fashion Fortnight!

Last week you saw some amazing maternity wear from Tiffany Rose, some affordable and evrey cute clothes and accessories from Store 21 and some gorgeous make up tips from Bourjois!

Today we’re going to be showing you some of our favourite pamper packs for Mums, Dads and Mums to be.

We’re going to begin with the Mums to be. During this time, there are a lot of things you have to be careful about. One of them is what you put on your skin. Boo Boo Shop’s ‘Congratulations Mummy Pamper Pack‘ is our favourite! It’s great as a baby shower present or even to just treat yourself! It’s priced at £34.99 and is available from their website: http://www.boobooshop.com/ShowDetails.asp?id=325

Congratulations Mummy Set from Boo Boo Shop

The Pack contains

Splendidly Soothing Bath Soak, 250ml
With white water lily and mallow to deeply moisturise and chamomile and arnica to soothe sore muscles.

Super Stretchy Miracle Oil, 100ml
Made with a special blend of oils… argan, to nourish, moisturise and improve elasticity and passion flower oil to calm stressed skin.

Soft & Creamy Body Smoother, 190ml
A super-nourishing blend of hibiscus, centella and shea butter that work together to increase elasticity, boost moisture and reduce the appearance of stretch marks and cellulite.

Another of the lovely Mummy Products I came across were Maclarens Beginning Range. In particular, the ‘Nourishing Gift Set for Mother‘. What I like about this range is that everything feels so fresh and non greasy. You’ll find that the majority of Mummy pampering packs are all about the oils, but not this one – In fact, you barely know you’ve used the creams/ lotion!

For more general pampering for everyone, my favourite has to be the Soap & Glory range from Boots. Soap & Glory is such a loveable brand and not just beacue of it’s very cool packaging, but they are actually pretty damn good products. Here are a few of my top picks:

Breakfast Scrub – £7.50 (save 1/3 with Boots)

The Breakfast Scrub from Soap & Glory

Leaves your skin silky smooth and smells totally scrummy!

A super skin-softening blend of:
- Golden Sugar scrub particles
- Natural Organic cupuacu bio scrubs
- Gentle Oatmeal grains
- Banana, Almond and Honey extracts
- Shea Butter
- Glycerin

Wonderfill – £10 (Save a 1/3 with Boots)

Wonderfill from Soap & Glory

For those lines you want no one to see!

- An infusion of a scientifically proven level of LINE FIGHTING SUPERPEPTIDES™
- A SPECIAL OXYGEN BOOSTING SKIN STIMULATING COMPLEX
- Exclusive light-activated SUPERBLUR™ line-disguising spheres
- A wrinkle plumping moisture matrix
- Suitable for all skin types

Do you have dull looking skin? Looking for that product that actually delivers a bright complexion and leaves your skin not only clean and fresh but looking radiant? Then Club Cleo’s Probiotic Skin Sheer & Radiance with Pearl Extract is the product for you! This product has a special patented co-fementation process which they boast is ‘a new & wonderfully light way to exfoliate, unclog pores & brighten the complexion’. After giving this a try, I have to admit, I did notice a difference in my complexion. At £19.99 it’s not cheap, but the bottle does last and I was certainly impressed by my results and would certainly say it’s worth a try!

Club Cleo's Probiotic Skincare Range

Rich in natural nutrients including: amino acids, peptides, probiotics & lactic acids this unique mineral & herbal formula promotes biosynthesis of collagens, fibronectin & keratin, increasing the absorption of oxygen to encourage healthy cell renewal.

Finally, we haven’t forgotten the Men! Not a fan of trapsing around Boots with your other half looking for toiletries? If my average time spent in Boots is anything to go by, then I don’t blame the guys for not wanting to join us! This set is not only great as a present for that man in your life, but it also comes with sweeties you can steal!

I can’t help but think the set is fab, but could probably do with a toothbrush to go with the toothpaste… especially with those sweets in there! The Essential Male Grooming Set by Men are Useless is available from Prezzybox.com and is £14.95
