My 5 Favourite Shower Products + 1 I'm Pining After!

Time for something a little different! A friend of mine requested that I do a post on some of my favourite products to use in the shower, so that's what you'll be reading about today!

 Shower products are honestly my guilty pleasure. I own so many scrubs and soaps that it's probably sinful, so when something is in my top 5, you know I stand by it. 

 Let's start with a body wash!

The Body Shop Aromatherapy line has always been a big favourite of mine, and my favourite scent that they make is the Stress Relief Eucalyptus and Spearmint. I snagged this Oil to Cream cleanser in a holiday sale and I've been loving it since. It looks like I've hardly used any, because you need so little product to clean your whole body (though it should be noted that I'm not somebody who runs through shower gel particularly often because I have so many on the go).

What I love about this product specifically is the scent- it is soothing and relaxing, helps relieve tension, and gives me peace, morning or night. It's also spectacular to use when you're feeling a little under the weather because it opens those sinuses right up! The formula of the cleanser itself is great, too- the oil aspect is very conditioning but doesn't feel slippery, and it lathers up just the right amount. This is one of the few body washes that I'll probably repurchase when I run out.



Next up is a body scrub that I tried on my friend Chelle's recommendation! Like I said, I've tried probably upwards of 25 different body scrubs at this point, and this is the best one I've ever tried. The texture of it is incredible- it feels like sugar cookie dough with chunks of sugar, if that makes any sense. It doesn't slip out of your fingers and isn't too rough on the skin but is still scrubby enough to get rid of the calluses on my feet! The honey and almond extracts in the scrub are super soft and conditioning on the skin, and the whole thing smells like sweet fluffy pancakes. What I also love about this scrub is that it doesn't contain microbeads, so it's environmentally friendly! I can't recommend this stuff enough. 

Third is a product that I love using in the summer especially, but it's nice all year round! I love the Coco Shea line from Bath & Body Works in all its iterations (Coconut, Cucumber, Lavender and Honey) but this coconut in-shower body lotion really takes the cake! 

You're probably thinking, what? An in-shower body lotion? Well, this is basically conditioner for your body. You slather on a layer, let it sit (it doesn't dissipate a ton with just running water so you can continue to wash your hair or whatever) and then rinse it off while rubbing it in just before you exit the shower. It leaves the skin SO FREAKING SOFT and the scent is strong enough to last a couple hours after you get out of the shower- which is good, because this one smells like yummy coconut cream. Love this stuff!


And lastly I have two hair products that I can't live without! The Devacurl Melt into Moisture Matcha Butter Mask is super important because I don't use conditioner (I have very short hair and a sensitive-ass scalp). Instead, I use this mask whenever my hair is feeling dry or dull and it brings my hair back to life! It gives shine, moisture, softness, volume, and most importantly, it doesn't irritate my scalp at all. 

The Christophe Robin Cleansing Purifying Scrub with Sea Salt is the single most important tool in my arsenal when it comes to fighting my scalp psoriasis. What I love about this scalp scrub that makes it better than others, is that you have to use so little of it to get a satisfactory result, which makes it worth the (frankly exorbitant) price. Seriously, a rice-sized piece is enough for me to shampoo the whole back of my head. This scrub also lathers up in a way that cleans the hair too, and rinses out nicely without chunks getting stuck in your hair or ears. 

Lastly, here's a product that I'm seriously lusting after.

Ever since the REN brand representative showed me their Atlantic Kelp and Magnesium Anti-Fatigue Body Wash, I've been aching (literally) to try it. I suffer from lots of body pain due to my chronic illness so something to use after my long shifts of being on my feet would be nice.

That's if for this post! What are some of your must-haves for the shower?

Review: Maybelline Brow Drama Pomade Crayon

Image
Hey guys, long time no post! I'm here today to review the new Maybelline Brow Drama Pomade Crayon. This is an interesting product for sure- one of the many new and exciting things Maybelline has put out for us this spring. The crayon is a short, chubby pencil that is supposed to be a brow pomade in crayon form. There are obviously drawbacks to this design- while it's a cool concept, frankly, the thing is huge. Maybelline definitely should have gone with something a lot less thick. I got the shade Dark Brown, I believe. As you can see, while the product is sharp now, it doesn't take much to run it down and I fear for the day this becomes too nubby to use (I've been using it on an angle so far). The formula, however, is pretty gorgeous. It's soft and emollient, but amazingly pigmented. It gives a soft effect rather than a harsh line. Here are my brows with no product in them. And here is the Maybelline Brow Drama Pomade Crayon applied to them. I ...

May Favourites 2016!

Image
May went by so slowly for me, but it was a month of excitement for sure! Eurovision happened and I got a job! Let's see what I loved through this month. A lot of oldies in here! First I've got some Makeup Geek shadows to talk about, and for once, I'm not waxing poetic about their Foiled eyeshadows. Makeup Geek's matte shadows in Chickadee (left) and Cocoa Bear (right) are deserving of all the hype they get. They pair together perfectly to create a warm crease. I'd never actually owned a warm medium brown eyeshadow before this, and let me just say- where have I been?! I've been wearing them all month and the only complaint I have is that now I'm in a bit of an eyeshadow rut because I don't want to wear anything else! Here's them both in my crease with Makeup Geek Foiled eyeshadow in Center Stage on the lid. Every few months or so I fall back in love with my Urban Decay Electric Palette- however, it's usually the shimmers I love. This...

Products I've Hit Pan On!

Image
Whenever I look back on my instagram to see which posts were the most popular, it's always the posts featuring products I've #hitpan on. The panning community in general is awesome, so I figured I'd do a post showing all the products in my collection that currently have some pan going on! And I'm sure I'll have another post like this soon, because I have so many products, particularly eyeshadows, that are soooo close to hitting pan. Anyways- let's get into the good stuff! First up is this Too Faced Jingle All the Way "phone palette" that I've had for ages. It was my first foray into high-end eyeshadow- picked up for a measly 15 bucks when I went on vacation to Washington, D.C. I believe it was part of a holiday collection, and I grabbed it out of the sale bin the following spring. You can definitely see which shadows were part of my "signature look" with this palette- I would use the light matte brown in the crease, the bronze/cop...
