So I’ve discovered a beauty game-changer. Yes, it relates to
new miracle products, but this isn’t what literally changed up my beauty routine. It was more my new organisation
strategy that now saves me time and has me looking better in the morning, and
to think all it took was a clear toiletry bag?!
Let me explain – How many times have you gotten ready for
bed by showering, cleansing, wiping down to then slather on what you think you
want on your face, to head back to bed all rugged up to then realise you left
one of your must-haves in the bathroom.
You then contemplate,
should I get out for bed? You then decide to either struggle out of bed hating
yourself while doing so, or go to sleep feeling guilty in the morning when your
face looks like a dried up Cruskit.
You see, having all the essentials in a clear beauty bag next
to your bed, that never moves, is fail safe. I always end up using at least
five products from within, and even on hung-over mornings my skin looks pretty
decent, thanks to the magical contents within.
Without further ado, here is what is in my bed side beauty
bag!
1.
Living
Proof Restore Targeted Repair Cream - I use this on the ends of freshly washed
hair while I lay in bed, or the night before I know I’m going to wash my hair
the next morning I slather it throughout. It’s Fabulous because it replaces
lost ceramides to restructure, strengthen and seal the protective outer layer
of the hair. It prevents 93% of new split ends and provides all-day protection
from UV damage.
2.
Glamourflage
Raunchy Rosie Hand Cream – I rub this all over my hands and onto my
cuticles. It smells like a florist – no joke! Packed full of seven different
moisturisers (including Macadamia Nut Oil, Coconut Oil and vitamin E) - a
classic for repairing any damages life may inflict. Underpinned by a good dash
of aloe vera - what can we say… its miraculous soothing and anti-inflammatory
qualities are legendary.
.
Trilogy
Everything Balm – I’ve raved about this product relentlessly! I place it on
hard elbows, toes, cuticles and my lips to help soften!
4.
Medik8
beta Gel Acne treatment gel – This is a fast working spot fixer. Literally
you place it on any breakouts and the next morning you notice that the spots
have either disappeared or are at least majorly repaired.
5.
Rationale
Immunologist Niacinamide Serum – This serum can be used morning or night,
but because it helps fix any pigmentation, I love to smear it on skin at night
as it properly soaks into the pores. Immunologist Niacinamide Serum promises
skin clarity and calmness. Vitamin B3 boosts the skins immune responses and
targets pigmentation, while Leukocyte extract, Adenosine Triphosphate and Amino
Acids provide a vital source of cellular energy, optimising intercellular
communication and skin barrier function.
.
Panadol osteo
– A weird one to list, but if I have drunk a lot that night (naughty
cocktails), or have hormonal symptoms then taking two of these with at least
half a litre of water makes me wake up more refreshed, isn’t that what beauty
is about?
7.
Olay
Regenerist anti aging eye roller. Anti Ageing, for me it is about
prevention rather than cure. Although I am only 22 years young, I might as well
make sure I keep frown lines, crow’s feet and laughter lines at bay. This great
pen by Olay features three tiny roller micro balls, so as you are applying the
serum to eyes you are also messaging gently which helps with unwanted
puffiness.
8.
Aerobic Apothecary
Sniff Box – for those who love aromatherapy this is for you! This is not a
topical beauty product; it is strictly for your nose to smell. It contains a fragrant
blend of cedar wood, eucalyptus, pine and olibanum oils.
9.
Devique
Supreme Radiance Vitamin C Complex Serum – This product smells like carrot
juice, but boy the results are worth it. I apply this serum at night and it absorbs
so fast that I can then layer on other products. It helps improve the
appearance of skin discoloration and reduce the visible signs of ageing. It greatly
improves skin tone, revealing radiant and younger looking skin.
10.
Nails Inc
London Kensington Top Coat Caviar – The speediest clear topcoat ever!
Perfect to apply just before you doze off and maintain the newness of your
mani!
11.
Skin O2
Hyaluronic Serum- After applying this serum my skin instantly feels refreshed.
It helps in revitalising the skin by enhancing its natural ability for
retaining moisture content.
12.
Lucas’
Papaw Ointment – A beauty staple for most. Really handy to have in my bed
side beauty bag for those nights where my lips are chapped.
13.
Nuxe Crème
Prodigieuse Anti-oxident Anti-stress moisturising crème – This French
wonder product helps tired, stressed out skin to relax. I apply this after the
serum I opt for that night.
14.
The
Aromatherapy Co Sleep Pulse Point – Insomniacs rejoice! This pulse point
fragrance with top notes of chamomile and lavender will help you lull into an
easy sleep. A necessity in any beauty bedside bag.
5.
Tweezers Young
Blood – These came in the Young Blood Brow Artiste kit, but I keep them in
this bag for when I spot a hair I don’t want.. Who wants to jump out of bed to hunt
down tweezers when you’re comfy?
16.
Nail clippers
– for any raggedy cuticles that I can carefully trim.
17.
Mukti Antioxidant
Facial Oil – My favourite facial serum. It is so rich and decadent with a
blend of essential oils that I rarely need to put a moisturiser on top of this
before I hit the hay.
18.
Luster Premium
White Super Whitener – I apply this to my teeth while looking into a mirror
sitting up in bed. You have to allow for the whitener to dry for thirty
seconds, but after then you’re good to go to sleep and wake up with whiter
teeth. Genius!
What’s in your beauty bed side bag? Do you have another system
to keep regularly used beauty product close to hand?
