A face mask always makes me feel pampered. It can literally be any face mask - fancy, cheap - doesn’t matter for me. Just makes me feel good Smile

I have the hourglass lip oil it has a gold plated applicator!! being delivered tomorrow I hope. Tried it in JL pre pandemic and thought wow but F spending £50.
Of this doesn’t make me feel super pampered when it turns up then I think I’ll give up.

Definitely a nice leave in conditioner. My hair hasn’t been cut for months and looks really tired for it, but a good conditioner at least makes it feel really soft. I use a frizz-ease leave on for 20 minutes one

Took me a bit to realise you didn't mean a pandemic face mask there.

Olaplex 0 and 3

Plucking my eyebrows since I can’t have them waxed at the moment

Nice bubble bath

pensivepigeon · 15/02/2021 19:25

After a run a good body brush, a cold bath and then top up with hot water so it is warm. Gets the circulation going and you feel completely relaxed and buffeted afterwards!Grin

This isn't a treat so much as an activity but I'll share anyway.Smile
I like to have a shower, wash my hair, do any necessary personal grooming.
Then have a nice hot bath with Epsom salts and an Aldi Berocca, with a facemask while listening to a funny podcast/audiobook.
Then I put on clean nightwear and get into my bed with freshly changed sheets.
Bliss!

8 hours of uninterrupted sleep Grin

BallsToYouSue · 15/02/2021 19:37

Pedicure, but I can never achieve the same result at home!

supercee · 15/02/2021 19:42

I know you said one but I have a few -

Like others, a bubble bath with face mask whilst listening to an audible book. I'd give my legs a shave too.

Pop a bit of fake tan on.

Tint my eyebrows/eyelashes, that always makes me feel better if they are done.

Spied · 15/02/2021 19:43

A spritz of perfume each morning. Current favourite Dior Rose n Roses.
I also like to spray pillow mist on my bedding each night. Favourite is Champneys. I sleep a lot better so feel great.

lifebeginz · 15/02/2021 19:45

Thank you guys!!! We dont have a bath :( but I do have some face masks somewhere I will try out tonight and get a hair mask on order. I just really need some pick me ups

Lying in a bath with a Berocca (or prosecco....) and an audio book sounds bliss but sans bath it may have to be a sit down shower haha. Also off to change the best sheets as fresh sheets and fresh jammies is a good shout!! Xx

A Birchbox subscription. I love getting my box each month and trying some fancy new products.

Woodlandbelle · 15/02/2021 20:13

Mine isn't just a beauty one (though I love a bath with good old radoz salts.. Never heard of using berocca) but burning rose essential oil feels so luxurious.

JaceLancs · 15/02/2021 20:16

Bath with candles and a drink plus good book or MN
Whilst in bath deep hair conditioning treatment and face pack
Clean nightshirt and sheets

Think you drink the berroca?
Woodlandbelle · 15/02/2021 20:25

bringbiscuits ahhh.. I get it Grin

A face mask with a self administered neck and shoulder massage with oil (saw it on the clarins Instagram page). I really miss a massage.

Non beauty - wearing a bright colour or a favourite piece of dressy clothing.
