Deep Sleep ZZzzzzz.......

Dreaming of deep sleep? Well, for those who want to sleep like a baby at night let me introduce to you a hopeful answer to y'all! It's This Works Deep Sleep range. A few months ago I made a purchase on This Works website. They were doing a massive sale and I was able to pick up the Deep Sleep balm, pillow mask, and a body cream. The balm and pillow mask came in their really nicely packaged gift set. It has a magnetic closure so it keeps the scent of lavender safe in the box :) The pillow mask you see, is not just a plain pillow mask. It's stuffed with oh so fresh lavenders! Yay!


But THE product I want to rave about here is the balm. Oh.... ma.... loardddddd! The natural balm made of Lavender and Rose essential oils smells so fresh, luxurious, and comforting. It says to apply on pulse points and any dry areas like cuticles or elbows. They say however, NOT to apply on lips. It is the perfect size to carry around or to just leave by your bedside for a quick dab here and there.


As you know (if you've read my blogposts) I've really gotten into aromatherapy. I doubted the whole idea, but really, I could not deny the effects of them! That's what got me to buy this range. When I applied this balm on my pulse points and such, that night.... I truly had one good DEEP sleep. But it was the first use, so I didn't want to jump to conclusions that THIS WORKS.

But then, you know... I have two sisters. As I say, having girls in the house means you've got beauty critics around you at all times :) I asked one of my sister to try it. Lo' and behold! She came the next day and said... THIS WORKS. She confirmed my experience, saying she slept like no other that night. Then, thereafter, we both applied it every night and really the soothing lavender scent is an aromatic lullaby!

The Deep Sleep Dream Cream is also of the same sooth scent. The cream bottle reads "Wrap yourself in a cocoon of soothing essential oils anywhere, anytime." It's a natural fusion of Provencal Lavender, Vetivert and Camomile blended with Crambe and Gold of Pleasure oils (rich in Omega 3). These hydrate and protect your skin. Oh-la-la!

At first, the scent was too herbal for my like. The vertivert is definitely there. The lavender is there as well, but not as sweet or light as I would've liked it. So, after the first use, I had put it away for awhile. The balm on the other hand instantly suited my taste. But after the amazing effects of the balm, I eased back into this cream. I have to say, it really is lovely.

I love the whole This Works brand. The idea is that the products are actually effective. Their "modern natural beauty" is completely reliable. The only downfall is that unless you're in the UK, getting a hold of this can be a bit difficult (shipping price and such). Try their website or BeautyBay!

Again, another essential step in my nighttime ritual :)

Sleeping in Radiance! Mario Badescu Bee Pollen Night Cream

How do I know winter is here? When even a combination-oily skin like mine gets tight and dry. My face, as well as my body has become unbearably dry. But, even before the whole dryness kicking in, I have been on a search to renew my skincare. I have been lost for awhile after I tried some really terrible products. I ended up going back to the safest of the safe... to Mario Badescu products. I was particularly in want of a really good night cream that I could slap on my face and let it do its job overnight. I wanted that feeling of getting up, touching my face, and feeling absolute smoothness and suppleness.


I have to say, the stress has been building up in my life. I have been having breakouts and my skin is as irritated as my usual self is nowadays :( I wanted something that could just boost my skin so that even if I have only slept for say five hours, it feels as though my skin had a 12-hour night rest!


Well now, I have found that very product! It is Mario Badescu's Bee Pollen Night Cream. You definitely want to use this only at night time, no matter how dry your skin is usually. That is because it is a really thick consistency. Once you put it on, you can feel it melt into your skin by the warmth of your hands as you massage it in. Then, you may feel a bit of oiliness. But let me tell you, that's not "oily". It's... (not a dermatologist) but an abundance of moisture mixed in with antioxidants that work overnight to give you radiance.


It says that it hydrates and improves overall skin texture. This skin softening cream provides a combination of natural oils with bee pollen and honey extract. This is taken off their website, and it truly is exactly that. It improves the overall texture of the skin and hydrates it. Even an oily-prone skin like mine loves, absolutely loves this!


What's even better is that all of Mario Badescu products are so affordable. This really rich cream is only $18.00. It feels like its worth so... much more. I love putting this on after my toning process, and jumping into my cozy bed. The next morning, no matter how little I've slept, the first thing I do is touch my cheeks... and it is so amazingly soft :)
