Hey Everyone,
I hope you’re all doing well! Is anyone else finding it difficult to get anything done in this heat? I’m literally melting away as I’m typing this. Either way, I have some lovely bits and pieces to share with you! I was kindly gifted these by Feather and Down, however all thoughts, of course, are my own! If something takes your fancy, you can buy it in Boots, however I’l also include links to everything so you can order them too!

Today, I’m going to be reviewing some of the Feather and Down Sweet Dreams range! After finishing my second year at university, I have never valued relaxation and wellbeing more. With the stress of deadlines and exams, I decided I needed to spend much more time concentrating on my health and one way that I did this was through using products containing lavender. Not only does it help me sleep but it keeps me calm and collected – particularly the night before an exam. I absolutely love the packagaing, it looks so elegant and luxurious – perfect for a pamper evening!
All Purpose Sleep Balm – £7.00
I’ve used sleep balms before and I’ve found them so helpful when I’m trying to drift off. This particular balm contains Lavender and Chamomile essential oils (it smells unreal) to keep you calm and relaxed. It’s not sticky either so don’t worry about getting stuck to your pillow! Apparently, massaging it onto your pulse points (temples, neck and wrists) makes it last longer due to your heartbeat! I apply this just before I get into bed and I have the best night’s sleep as a result!

Melting Shower Cream – £6.00
In summer, I prefer to have showers as baths are just too hot for me at this time of year! This shower cream is amazing! Not only does it keep you clean and fresh, it also melts into an oil when you massage it onto wet skin, leaving you feeling soft and silky. I used to hate using oily products until I realised how good they were for my skin. I’ve started putting oils into my bath too, to help me relax and also to keep my skin moisturised and nourished. This shower cream smells incredible too, featuring lavender and chamomile – perfect for bedtime. If you take a shower before bed, the warm water actually causes your body to relax and eases any tension built up throughout a long and stressful day!

Pillow Spray – £7.00
I’ve been using this product for a while now. It was so helpful when I was extremely anxious about my exams late at night (there’s a theme here) and I couldn’t get to sleep. I simply sprayed this onto my pillow and I was able to calm down and drift off! Lavender and chamomile actually help to reduce anxiety in order to experience a better night’s sleep. In fact, lavender increases the brain waves that are associated with relaxation, so as you can probably tell, this pillow spray contains all the right ingredients!

I absolutely love these products and I can’t find a single thing wrong with them. They’re not only beautiful to look at but they’re a joy to use! I’ve never found anything that works this well at helping me drift off. I will definitely be using these around exam time next year when I’m going to need all of the sleep that I can get! I feel so pampered and relaxed after using these products and I can’t see myself not using them now as they’re part of my night-time routine. Let me know if you’ve tried any of these products before as I’d love to hear your thoughts! What do you use to help you sleep?
I’ve linked all of my social media so come and say hi!
I’ll be back soon with another post!

Great review, very informative x
I’m glad you liked it! Thanks for reading x
I love pillow sprays! I’ve never heard of this brand though. I think I’ll give them a try. Plus the shower cream sounds dreamy! The packaging is spot on too
They’re so fab! I sleep so much better with them x
I love this brand! I’ve tried their products before and they’ve done wonders for my sleep. It helps me to calm down and relax before I get into bed which is exactly what I needed! Loved hearing your thoughts on the products though 💗💗
I agree! It makes such a huge difference to my sleeping pattern – I’m so glad I discovered them x
I have seen this brand floating around but have yet to try it! I’ve been looking for a cheaper alternative to the This Works pillow spray, and this is definitely a contender to try now!! Also that shower cream sounds divine!! Can’t wait to get my hands on some bits!
It’s really affordable and it also happens to work a treat so hopefully you can enjoy it as much as I do! x
Constantly on the look out to try to things to help me sleep. Such an informative review I seriously need to invest x
Aww I’m glad you enjoyed it! x
Gorgeous photos in this post!

These products sound incredible! I absolutely love using Lush Sleepy when I can’t seem to fall asleep. Also, drinking a cup of chamomile or peppermint tea helps me relax and fall asleep faster. Having an eye mask is also a must at this time of year since the sun rises so early! Xx
Me too! That’s one of my favourite products! I like drinking tea before bed too as it really relaxes me and makes me feel all cosy. I have black out blinds so the sun stays hidden until I say so!
It’s so hot at the moment it’s almost impossible to sleep! I’d love to try these.

I know, it’s a nightmare! These have really helped x
That pillow spray and balm look great! I’ve not heard of thos brand before so will have to check them out xx
They both smell amazing! I use them every night before bed and it makes such a difference!
The pillow spray sounds really cool, for me I always just worry with things like that that they will break me out!

That’s true – I haven’t got particularly sensitive skin but I haven’t noticed anything like that with this product. I only use one spritz and then I’m sorted – sometimes even on my duvet so it’s not touching my face but it’s still effective!
