Bedside Beauty



Next to my bed, I have a few essential products that I apply to my hands, lips and pillow before going to sleep. The candle isn't something that I leave burning throughout the night - don't worry! - but I do love lighting it a couple of hours before I'm due in bed so that the room is filled with a gorgeous scent. 

The Carex Nourish & Protect Vitamin E Hand Cream* is truly wonderful. I have six bottles of the new Carex Hand Creams and I can't recommend them enough. I will be doing a full blog post on them all so I'll just give you a brief overview of this one for now. The Nourish & Protect version is great for when your hands are feeling more dry than usual. The Vitamin E sinks into the hands quickly, moisturising them and leaving them feeling super soft. On my lips I use the Strawberry & Vanilla Cream Truffle lip balm from the Baylis & Harding Beauticology Chocolate Lip Balm Tin Set.* Not only does this lip balm smell and taste incredible, it also nourishes the lips without leaving a nasty film of product on them. 

I've mentioned the Miaroma Lavender Pure Essential Oil* before and I stand by everything I said. Despite the fact that I hate the smell of lavender, I love using a couple of drops of this oil on my pillow before going to bed. It really soothes me and helps me get a calm and satisfying nights sleep. And finally, the Colony Powder Fresh candle smells absolutely divine. It's clean, fresh and extremely affordable. I bought this when it was in the clearance section at Boots as I'd had my eyes on it for a while. It smells exactly like it claims to and fills the room with a beautiful aroma. 

What products do you keep by the bedside?
