What beauty/well being products have/did you treat yourself to?

[littleraysofsunshine]

I loved my champneys bath salts (now discontinued)

What did you get yourself & what would you advise?

A friend kindly bought me some neals yard lavender bath salts and rose elixir body balm. These both smell gorgeous and the body balm was lathered on my bump every night for most of my pregnancy! Feels really pampering.

My DH bought me a relaxing Rituals spa set with bath cream, candle etc. after a particularly bad case of 'the rage'

It's lovely, smells gorgeous & a real treat to sit back & relax.

With dc's 1&2 I loved champneys dreambath, and the sanctuary mum to be bath salts, but that's discontinued now ;(

Heard great things of Neal's yard, may have to invest
Pricey but may be worth it.

FYI, Brand Alley are currently having a sale on Rituals spa sets.

I've asked for a Laura Mercier bath creme/body butter/scented candle set for Xmas. Bit pricey but he didn't get around to getting me a birthday present so I figured I deserve it!

When I found out I was pregnant I bought some Silderm to hopefully avoid stretch marks (now 20 weeks so will let you know how that goes! I managed to justify the cost as a 'necessity'.

I've been using Weleda Pregnancy Oil. It's lovely and has helped keep my stretch marks to a minimum (I think!)

I used bio oil with dd1, I got one weeny mark then used a variety with dd2 but the madam loved laying on my left so they did eventually appear weeks before birth but have faded.. That was only 18m ago and I'm 33 weeks with dc3 now. I have the ones from her so they may (hopefully not) spread but no sign yet. But just more visible again because I carry footballs up my top in pregnancy apparently

I think it also depends on your diet? Sugary stuff doesn't help but I crave that sometimes. And with dd2 I had a very rough time, emotional and distressing time in family situation so I didn't eat well.

One of my best mates luckily does shellac so I get that done (free!) hands and feet!

I've also just dip dyed my hair, it probably looks shite but hey ho, worth a try!

I really do want to invest in a very good eye cream (to help with dark circles) and just some genuinely luxurious face and body products just to make me feel better! any recommendations?
