bdTrial: Winter pampering products

Pampering indoors is the BD team's favourite pastime now the temperatures have officially dropped. 

 
Okay the ‘cold snap’ has struck Sydneysiders (well everywhere, apparently), and I’m currently all about cosy nights in on the couch. Being a bushy blonde, my hair causes me serious grief, so I am a huge fan of pampering with the humble hair mask. My, my what it can achieve in 30 minutes (or even one to three if you’re in a rush). This mask by bhave is really good at making your hair smooth and soft post shower and for days on afterwards. Highly recommended. - Kelly

 
Flowers and candles are two things I never tire of, so I find the combination of the duo pretty damn irresistible. ECOYA’s natural soy candles are a long-lasting fragrant affair, with up to 80 hours burning time. The brand’s latest release is a limited-edition candle of Citrus & White Magnolia that will be out in August. The scent is a musky combination of magnolia, patchouli and vanilla, made a whole lot less overwhelmingly girly with the addition of a fresh hit of citrus notes. - Sarah

 
Despite being only 23, I am often told I am an old soul at heart. Beyond my personality, this 'maturity' also shows on my face in the form of dark under-eye circles. Even after a decent amount of shut-eye, those pesky circles pop up under my peepers – making me look anything but fresh. Luckily I have Skin Republic's Brightening Eye Mask in my arsenal to help me look a little more my age. Formulated with vitamins C and b3 to promote cell renewal and rejuvenation, hydrate the skin and improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, this eye mask delivers some seriously refreshing and youth-boosting goods. It also contains antioxidant-rich green tea and coffee bean – which work to brighten dark circles and reduce puffiness, while liquorice helps decrease the production of melanin and rebalance skin cells. - Ally

 
In my opinion there is nothing better than a luxuriously warm bubble bath to get you through the colder months, and the philosophy coconut frosting shampoo, shower gel & bubble bath is the perfect three-in-one tool to use. It gently cleansed my body and hair without drying it out leaving everything feeling silky and soft, which is definitely a plus! - Laura

With the inclusion of straight nail scissors, small and large curved nail clippers, a cuticle nipper, metal cuticle pusher, plastic cuticle pusher, orange sticks, double sided nail files and a nail brush – this set literally has it all to ensure nails are kept in prime condition. - Yelena
