My Must Have Pregnancy Products

Pregnancy, however much of a miracle, is a long nine months and sometimes filled with lots of annoying side effects. I wouldn't have got through the past seven months without some beauty essentials.


For Stretch Marks:


Palmers Cocoa Butter Stretch Mark Lotion

This has a lovely smell and feels really soft and luxurious on my skin, despite it being pretty cheap.


Bio Oil

Love this. I tried cheaper alternatives but none work as well as Bio Oil. I hate the smell of it though, reminds me off elderly women!


Avent Moisturing Light Oil

This  oil is great, smells nice and feels nice when it's rubbed in.


For limp hair:


Aussie Colour Mate Shampoo

This shampoo is great. It smells really nice and I use it to help keep my blonde highlights looking as good as they can.

VO5 Nourish Me Truly Conditioner

 

 

I started using this when my mum bought it and I love how nice and soft it leaves my hair. It has a lovely smell and you only need a small amount.

Lee Stafford 'For Hair that Never Grows Past a Certain Length' Hair Treatment

 



 

 

 

I haven't been using this lately but when I did use it reguarly it really did seem to be working. I had my hair cut into a bob a long time ago and have struggled to grow it since. I have now gotten it to just below shoulder length and it seems to be in much better condition than it was.

 

To make pretty Nails:

 

Nails Inc Notting Hill GatePolish

 

 

Painting my nails always makes me feel more girly. I love Nails Inc polishes as they go on so smoothly and have an amazing finish to them. This shade is beautiful alone but I pair it with.....

 

Nails Inc Princes Arcade Pink Diamond Nail Jewellery

 

 

 

 

This shade looks more pink on than in the picture. It looks really nice over a pink nail polish.

 

For dry skin:

 

Soap and Glory Pulp Friction

 

 

This is the best exfoliator I have come across. It actually makes my legs feel so much smoother and acts as a great exfoliant for when I fake tan.

 

 

Soap and Glory Glow Lotion

 

 

This is such a nice body lotion. You don't need to use much and it gives your skin a nice subtle sheen. I have been using it before putting on my tan, which gives the tan an extra glow.

 

St Moriz Fake Tan Mousse

 

 

 

 

This is by far my favourite fake tan and the only one I will use these days. It is amazing for the price (£2.99!) and I find it goes on well with no streaks, the colour is perfect and often fools people into thinking it's real. I love having a tan to make myself feel less self-conscious about my body as it gets bigger.

 

For a spotty face:

 

Soap and Glory Facial Wash

 

 

This is a great face wash. Usually face washes leave my skin feeling tight and dry but this one is really nice and you only need a tiny amount.

 

Simple Face Wipes

 

 

I have such sensitive skin that I find it hard to find face wipes that don't irritate my skin. These aren't too cheap but work.

 

Garnier Cleanser

 

This cleanser is brilliant. It smells gorgeous as well!

 

Garnier Toner

 

This toner has the same scent as the cleanser and works well.

 

Garnier Day Cream

 

The day cream completes the set. I use it at night rather than in the day and it makes my skin feel like it's getting a treat.

 

Prickly Pear Peel Off Face Mask

 

I love this range of face masks, especially the peel off ones as they make the least mess. This new prickly pear one is really nice and left my skin feeling soft and supple.

 

For a relaxing shower:

 

Original Source Vanilla and Raspberry Shower Gel

 

 

 

This shower gel smells gorgeous and leaves my skin feeling really soft and pampered.

 

And not a beauty product but to pick me up....

 

 

Glade With Love Scented Candle

 

Plus....
