BEDTIME BEAUTY BASKET


LUSH VANILLA DEE LITE // LUSH DREAM CREAM // GOK WAN BODY BUTTER //
KIEHL'S MIDNIGHT RECOVERY CONCENTRATE* // TROPIC SKIN REVIVE*


I've had the basket for years and have no idea where it's from, but you can find similar here

Ok, so due to an annoying bedroom layout and my side of the bed being next to the wall i don't actually have a bedside table, which drives both me and my boyfriend mad when glasses and books need to be put down on the floor, phones need to be put on charge and alarms need switching off. But, i do have a shelf which i guess is the next best thing. 

It's only recently I've started taking care of myself when it comes to going to sleep, i didn't realise the importance of getting your skin suited and booted for a night of relax and repair. I like to have a selection of skin products because you just never know what mood you're going to be in, so i have a variety of scents and consistency, in case i want a deep moisture throughout the night or a light cover. At the moment my bedroom gets really cold (well, the whole flat is) due to poorly located radiators and no double glazing so i know that my skin really can do with the help at the moment which is why i sometimes double up with products and put more on than i usually would.

I always try to smoother my lips with Vaseline too to make sure i wake up with healthy and hydrated lips, I'm sure we can all agree that during the winter months there's nothing worse than dry and chapped lips first thing in the morning.  

As you can see i also have other bits one might need such as hair bobbles to keep together fly away hair and a nail file in case you're reading and notice a dodgy line the needs taking care of (yes it happens a lot and no i can't leave it) and a little mirror to check out my fine lines and wrinkles.

So that's my bedroom beauty box, it's pretty basic but it does the job. 
What are your staple bedtime products you can't live without?

  1. I can't live without Bioderma for a quick and thorough cleanse and my Make a Difference night cream from Origins. It's insane what difference it makes when you take care of your skin before bed! x

  21. Like you, I've not long started looking after my skin at night. I cleanser with Soap and Glory peachy clean, tone r (Boots No.7) and eye cream (Balance Me) and then I've got pots on my bedside table for the rest. At the moment I'm loving N-Spa Body Butters in raspberry and cocoa butter, Avon lavender sleep spray and the Kiehl's Midnight Concentrate. How are you finding it? I'd love to see a review of it to see if it matches my experience xxx

  27. I really want to try Lush dream cream, I've heard so many good things :)

  28. Love this post, but instead of using vaseline on your lips, you should try Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour Cream, Vaseline's amazing but it's actually just a barrier for your skin rather than moisturising! I always slather on 8 Hour Cream before bed and it works wonders! x

  32. This is such a good idea to put all of your nighttime stuff in a little basket! Mines just in a drawer (uni rooms aren't the best for storage!) but after seeing this i'm thinking I might invest in a pretty little basket instead instead!

  33. This is such a nice idea! I have my night time products sort of spread around but it would be way more handy to have them in the same place, especially in a cute basket xx
