The Perfect Pamper Night In For Under £6!!!

I LOVE a good pamper night in. There's nothing better than a bit of 'me' time after a long hard day/week.
Treating yourself to some of those treatments and goodies can make you feel revived and put that smile back on your face!
BUT these things don't have to be expensive and I am forever buying cheap little pick me ups to help myself, hair and skin to feel it's best even if I am half asleep!
 So....... I thought I would share with you lovely ladies 5 great products to complete the perfect girly night in and guess what - the total only comes to £5.58!! That's surely only a couple of drinks in Starbucks or a Subway right - totally worth it?!
1. Grazia Magazine - £1
Guess what...this weeks Grazia mag is just £1! There's nothing better than chilling at home with your feet up, cup of tea (or wine) in hand, reading through the latest celeb gossip, fashion must-haves and beauty secrets! Plus it's got Jen An on the front aswell - always a winner!

2. Montagne Jeunesse Hot Chocolate Face Mask - £1
These masks are some of the best value for money beauty products out there! I buy them constantly and if you read A Yellow Brick Blog alot you've probably noticed! This hot chocolate mask is a fabulous self heating detoxing mask which smells amazing and always leaves my skin feeling smooth and refreshed! To read more about it check out my previous review - here. 

3. Milkybar - £1
A night in isn't complete without some chocolate to crush that sugar craving - every girls best friend in a bar.

4. Boots Sleep Well Bath Foam - 89p
Bath's are something that I have rarely, I'm more of a shower girl myself but once in a while I like to have a good old soak! This bubble bath is infused with lavender to help you relax and unwind, perfect for after a long week at work for me! This bottle is huge so it will last me ages and for just 89p it is a must buy!

5. Aussie Travel Size 3 Minute Miracle Reconstructor - £1.69
TOP TIP : IF you have short hair you can buy the sachet of this product for only £1.09 (another 60p saving, making it less than £5!), but my hair is too long for just one sachet now so I thought this mini bottle would work better! Hair masks are my favourite thing, I love giving my dry, drab hair a lift with one of these and Aussie smells the best! I like to leave these on for at least 10 minutes and then let me hair air dry for a soft, long locks!

POTW #23 : Montagne Jeunesse Hot Chocolate Self Heating Facemask

So, relaxing with a face mask has become quite the weekly routine for me recently. Each Sunday it seems I delve into my exciting drawer full of testers and sachets of things and pick a new mask to try out!
This week it was the return of my fav Montagne Jeunesse brand and their Hot Chocolate self-heating mask.
I love chocolate and I love having nice skin so well this was a total no-brainer!
 I'd heard before that this was great and after it being sat in my drawer for a good few weeks I decided it was time to give it a go and chocolate myself up!

This smells sooo nice - obviously! It's cocoa and orange so it's basically like spreading melted Terry's chocolate orange all over your face! I love dark coloured face masks as it's easier to see where you've missed and easier to make it even across your face.
I've used a self-heating mask once before (you may have seen the recent post about it) so I knew what I was letting myself in for.
It only felt really warm when I was in contact with the product rubbing and spreading it across my face and it is was a nice feeling. You can feel your pore's opening up ready for a good cleanse!
After I had applied the chocolatey goodness I pottered around my flat for 10 minutes or so. In this time my boyfriend's mate rocked up (cheers for the warning there) and had a surprise haha! Oh dear!
When the time was up I used a muslin cloth and warm water to remove the mask - which was really easy! I always recommend scraping your hair right back when doing a face mask - it's the worst when it ends up hanging out in your hair not on your face! 
My skin felt fresh and cleansed and I followed with a soothing toner and moisturiser. My skin had been feeling really grimey before doing this and I feel like it has really helped cleanse it thoroughly! Bonuses - it smells like chocolate AND it's only £1!
