At Home Spa Part II

March 7, 2009 by BX Staff No Comment

In part one, we showed you how to make your own at-home spa recipes using everyday ingredients found in your kitchen. However, we also understand that there are some nights you want to sit back, relax, and let the products do the work for you.

In this edition, we’ve compiled some of our favorite products and treatments to create the ultimate stay-at-home spa night.

Scandle Body Massage Candlerefillcandle0109

It’s like magic. The Scandle burns two degrees above room temperature and the “wax” is really a healthy and all natural body oil that is perfect for cuticle treatments, manicures/pedicures, or as a daily moisturizer. We have the travel tin ($12.95) in Honeysuckle and use it daily. Not only does it give off an enticing aroma, but we can finally live out that Ricky Martin “livin’ la vida loca” (around the 33 second mark) music video fantasy of pouring wax onto a hunky piece of man meat without causing third-degree burns.

Barely Native Soaps

We particularly love the Citrus Lavender ($5.95) scent since it smells just like a spa. Also, the soap has a grainy texture, which is perfect to use as an exfoliant while you give yourself the rub down (mind out of the gutter people).

Mask of Magnaminty Face Mask by LUSHlushmask

While we looked like the Wicked Witch of the West during application, once we washed off this thick and hydrating mask ($11.75) we felt like a million bucks. It has a pleasing light minty scent, and you can literally feel it cooling your skin during the 10-minute waiting period. The mask also has exfoliating beads mixed in, so you’re clearing away dead skin both while applying and washing it off. To really feel refreshed, you can apply it to your back as well and look like a creature from the black lagoon – all in the name of beauty!

Eyeslices

At first we were a little freaked out since eyeslices do not simply lay on your face, but actually suction to the area around your eye.  However we did feel the cooling effect, and it was a nice before-bed routine we could get used too. Eyeslices ($19.99) last about two weeks before you have to replace them with a refill pack that costs $7.50, and should we ever marry-rich, we will be sure to have these sent on a strict bi-weekly basis.
